Experience points or XP are units that are used to gain experience levels. They can be shown with the "showexp" option.

Experience points can be gained by:

  • Killing monsters, with stronger monsters awarding more points.
  • Eating tripe, yielding 1 XP.
  • A minor consultation from the Oracle gives 50 XP.
  • A major consultation gives 550 XP.
  • Quaffing from sinks.
  • Untrapping squeaky boards.

A blessed potion of gain level gives you enough XP for the next level as well as halfway to the next level, while an uncursed potion or a wraith corpse just gives you enough XP needed to gain the one level.

When you lose a level, your XP is set to 1 less than your current level needs.
