XP and Leveling

XP Sources

Players gain XP through:

• Combat — Damage dealt grants Attack/Strength/Defense/Constitution XP
• Gathering — Woodcutting, Mining, Fishing grant XP per resource
• Artisan — Firemaking, Cooking, Smithing grant XP per action
• Quest Rewards — Quests award XP to specific skills
• XP Lamps — Quest rewards that grant XP to chosen skill

XP Formula

Hyperscape uses RuneScape’s XP curve:

XP for Level N = floor(sum(floor(L + 300 * 2^(L/7))) / 4) for L = 1 to N-1

Level Milestones

Level	Total XP
10	1,154
20	4,470
30	13,363
50	101,333
70	737,627
99	13,034,431

Resource Gathering

Woodcutting

Requirements:

• Hatchet in inventory or equipped
• Click tree to chop

Success rate improves with level. Higher-level trees require higher Woodcutting levels.

Tree	Level	XP
Normal	1	25
Oak	15	37.5
Willow	30	67.5
Maple	45	100
Yew	60	175
Magic	75	250

Available Tree Types (12 types with visual variants):

• Bamboo - Fast-growing tropical tree
• Birch - Light-colored deciduous tree
• Cactus - Desert vegetation
• China Pine - Asian conifer variant
• Coconut - Tropical palm with coconuts
• Dead - Withered tree variants
• Fir - Evergreen conifer
• Knotwood - Gnarled tree with amber leaves (#C4832A)
• Maple - Deciduous hardwood
• Oak - Classic hardwood tree
• Palm - Tropical palm tree
• Pine - Standard conifer
• Wind Pine - Tundra-specific wind-swept pine (single model)

Mining

Requirements:

• Pickaxe in inventory or equipped
• Click ore rock to mine

OSRS-Accurate Mechanics:

• Pickaxe tier affects roll frequency (not success rate)
• Success rate is level-only (pickaxe doesn’t affect it)
• Rocks have 100% depletion on successful mine (1/8 chance)
• Dragon/Crystal pickaxes have bonus speed rolls

Ore	Level	XP	Depletion
Copper/Tin	1	17.5	1/8 chance
Iron	15	35	1/8 chance
Coal	30	50	1/8 chance
Mithril	55	80	1/8 chance
Adamantite	70	95	1/8 chance
Runite	85	125	1/8 chance

Pickaxe Tiers:

Pickaxe	Level	Roll Ticks	Bonus Speed
Bronze	1	8 ticks	None
Iron	1	7 ticks	None
Steel	6	6 ticks	None
Mithril	21	5 ticks	None
Adamant	31	4 ticks	None
Rune	41	3 ticks	None
Dragon	61	3 ticks	1/6 chance for 2 ticks
Crystal	71	3 ticks	1/4 chance for 2 ticks

Dragon and Crystal pickaxes have a chance to mine faster: Dragon has a 1/6 chance for 2-tick rolls (avg 2.83 ticks), Crystal has a 1/4 chance (avg 2.75 ticks).

Fishing

Requirements:

• Fishing rod in inventory
• Click fishing spot

Fish	Level	XP
Shrimp	1	10
Trout	20	50
Lobster	40	90
Swordfish	50	100
Shark	76	110

Agility

Agility is trained passively by moving through the world. Unlike traditional RuneScape agility courses, Hyperscape’s Agility system rewards exploration and travel.

Training Method:

• Gain 1 XP per 2 tiles traveled (walking or running)
• XP is batched at 100 tiles (50 XP) to prevent visual spam
• XP drops appear every ~15 seconds while running, ~30 seconds while walking

Benefits:

• Stamina Regeneration: +1% stamina regen per Agility level
  • Level 1: 1% bonus (4.04/sec idle, 2.02/sec walking)
  • Level 50: 50% bonus (6.0/sec idle, 3.0/sec walking)
  • Level 99: 99% bonus (7.96/sec idle, 3.98/sec walking)

Death Penalty:

• Accumulated tiles toward next XP grant are lost on death
• Earned XP is never lost

Agility does not affect combat level, matching OSRS design.

Agility

Agility is a unique skill that rewards players for traversing the game world. Unlike traditional RuneScape agility courses, Hyperscape’s agility system is integrated with movement and stamina mechanics.

Training Agility

XP Gain: Earn 1 XP per 2 tiles traveled (walking or running)

XP Batching: To prevent visual spam, XP is granted in batches:

• Every 100 tiles traveled = 50 XP granted
• Partial progress is preserved between batches
• Death resets accumulated tiles (not earned XP)

XP Rates:

Movement Type	Tiles/Second	XP/Minute
Walking	3.33	~100 XP
Running	6.67	~200 XP

Agility Benefits

Stamina Regeneration Bonus: +1% stamina regen per agility level

Agility Level	Regen Multiplier	Idle Regen/Sec	Walk Regen/Sec
1	1.01x	4.04	2.02
25	1.25x	5.00	2.50
50	1.50x	6.00	3.00
75	1.75x	7.00	3.50
99	1.99x	7.96	3.98

High agility levels significantly improve stamina sustainability, allowing longer running sessions and faster recovery.

Weight and Stamina

Inventory weight affects stamina drain while running:

Weight Penalty: +0.5% stamina drain per kg carried

Weight (kg)	Drain Multiplier	Drain/Second
0	1.0x	2.0
20	1.1x	2.2
50	1.25x	2.5
100	1.5x	3.0

Heavy loads significantly increase stamina drain. Manage your inventory weight for optimal running efficiency.

Smithing (at Anvil)

Click an anvil to open the smithing interface. Requires a hammer in your inventory (not consumed). Select the item to smith and quantity.
