You get experience mostly from killing monsters. You can also get experience from solving some puzzles, and you'll usually be told when you've received experience this way. Note that while you get a little experience for just fighting the monster (1 point per h.p. of damage you do) you get most of your experience for the actual kill. Please note that you do *not* get any significant experience for killing other players! In fact, player killing is restricted here and in many cases not allowed (see the rules). You need experience (as well as questpoints) to gain levels and become more powerful. The amount of experience you need to gain levels depends on a few factors, especially which guild you are in. For a list of experience and questpoints needed for non-guilded players, see "help levels". See also: killing, levels, quests, rules, score.
