Experience point

Level up redirects here. For the BBC television programme, see Level Up. Experience points (often abbreviated as exp, xp) are units of measure used in role-playing games such as Final Fantasy and World of Warcraft. In such games the player has one or more characters which live in a virtual world and which start out as weak and untrained. By winning battles and completing in-game tasks successfully the character gains experience in the form of points as a reward. Usually the amount of experience points a character has serves as a meter for their progression and if a sufficient amount of experience is obtained the character "levels up", or gains a superior level. Such an event usually increases the character's statistics such as health points and strength (amongst others) depending on the game's rules, and introduces or allows the acquisition of newer or better abilities for the character to make use of.
