Gaining experience | Character Sword Coast Legends Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Sword Coast Legends has an experience gathering system similar to other RPG games. The only difference is in a small but important aspect. This aspect is gathering smaller number of experience points by a character that during the battle was unconscious. If you are fighting with five monsters, from which each guarantees 100 experience points, every member of your party will receive 500 experience points. But, if one of the characters will die during the battle and will be resurrected after killing the opponent, the experience points that this opponent guaranteed will be removed from the total reward. Because of that, it is important to keep the whole party alive at all cost and, if someone dies, to resurrect that person as quickly as possible. The experience from the pot isn't transferred to other party members, it is lost forever. If they do not have any items that increases the amount of experience received, each party member is given the same amount of experience after the battle.

Experience is gained by killing enemies. It's one of the main ways of gathering experience points. The higher level you have, the more experience points you will obtain. You receive small amounts of experience for fighting typical opponents, such as merchants, bears, spiders or goblins. It's different when facing elite opponents and bosses. In that case, the number of experience points you receive is sometimes larger than rewards for completing jobs, side quests or even main quests.

The experience is also gained by completing quests - it's the second main way for this activity. Depending on the quest type and character level, you will receive from 100 to 19000 experience points. More experience can be gained by completing the main quests (few thousands of it). Monsters on level above twelve also offer larger numbers of experience points.

Another way of gaining experience is interacting with the game world. After removing a trap or opening a lock, your team will receive a small amount of experience.
