Experience points are earned by utilizing Skills, and the amount earned depends on your current Focus Bonus. Players start at level 1 in each skill, and the amount of experience required increases with each skill level gained. After level 9, the required amount of experience is capped at 5,000.
The table below contains the base EXP required for each level.
When utilizing Skills, the current Focus Bonus is added onto the total EXP gain. This can be represented with EXP + Focus Bonus%. For example, if a new player starting with a 20% Focus Bonus made Grilled Meat, which has a base EXP of 20, they would earn a total of 24 EXP. A player with a 100% Focus Bonus would earn 40 EXP from the same dish.
