Leveling up inDark and Darkeris something players know the general concept of, but it hasn’t been fully dissected as a mechanic quite yet.

To explain this a bit more simply, people know what gives EXP but aren’t aware of the exact numbers or the best leveling methods. So, let’s go over how leveling works inDark and Darker, the actions that have been confirmed in the multiple alphas to give EXP, and the few facts about each method that are known.
How Leveling Works & What It Unlocks
First and foremost, leveling inDark and Darkerworks exactly as one would expect. As a character levels up, they gain access to previously locked mechanics/features. But, unlike other games,leveling up inDaDdoes not mean stats are increased, at least not yet.There’s a Class Training tab in the game currently that’s inaccessible, and players speculate that this is where they’ll be able to increase certain stats like Strength or Agility (depending on the best stats for their class) as they level up. This is where a lot of the ‘build’ diversity would come in that would make characters feel more individual. For example:
Of course, this is all hypothetical because again, at the moment,all leveling does is give players access to more Perk Slots, with 1 by default, 2 at level 5, 3 at level 10, and 4 at level 15. Other than that, there isn’t any sort of ‘numerical’ reward for leveling, especially past level 15.
Where To Get EXP
Now, with the general concepts understood, where do beginnerDark and Darkerplayers go to gain EXP? Well, there are quite a few ways to go about this. The most obvious method is to get into the dungeon and kill NPC enemies or other players. But, there are a lot of other actions that grant EXP besides this, such as:
All of these actions grant EXP, and this likely clears up some questions players might have had about why someone in their party was leveling faster than they were.
What Grants The Most EXP?
Again, there aren’t really any numbers out yet for what action inDaDgives the most EXP, especially since this will all likely change between this alpha and the full release. But, players have noticed thatcertain actions cause their EXP bar to jump pretty noticeably, and these are:
Now, there are other methods of getting a lot of EXP all at once, such as getting a bunch of PvE or PvP kills in a single game or escaping with an inventory full of loot, but the methods above are the singular actions that seem to grant the most overall.
