Revision as of 13:10, 13 April 2022

Experience is gained by journeying through Europa, and can be used to pick Talents, powerful buffs that are unique to each Job.

Experience can be gained in three ways:

Missions

At the end of a mission, all members of the crew will gain experience from any completed missions. Experience gain from completing missions depends on how much money the mission gives, and the difficulty of the level. Level missions - such as reactivating a beacon station or killing an abyss creature - give experience just the same as a mission from an outpost.

The formula for experience gain is as follows: Experience gain = Cash Reward * 0.09 * (1 + Level Difficulty % / 100)

Commendations & Medals

These are consumable items which give experience when used.

Coalition Commendations give 275 experience, while Coalition Medals give 750 experience.
Captains with the "Trusted Captain" talent receive one Coalition Commendations at the end of each round, as long as at least one mission has been completed. The "Trucker" talent will give an additional commendation, as long as all selected missions have been completed. (Level missions such as beacon stations and abyss creatures can be bypassed for this).
One Coalition Medal is awarded to captains with the "Esteemed Captain" at the end of each round, as long as at least one mission has been completed.

Commendations and Medals will give experience to both the user and the recipient, as long as it is being used by a captain with the relevant talent. (Trusted Captain for commendations and Esteemed Captain for medals.)
