XP Rates
RXPS allows you to choose your experience rate when creating your account. This affects how quickly you level up skills.
Available XP Rates
Available XP Modes
Choose your mode at account creation. You can later switch to an easier mode via Max (outside Edgeville bank), but never back to a harder one, so pick conservatively if unsure. Normal, Hard, Supreme, and Prime are available from creation; Heroic is only reachable by prestiging a maxed Prime through Max.
| Mode | XP Boost | Drop Rate | Double Drops | Extras |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | 135x | - | - | - |
| Hard | 50x | +5% | - | Blurite sword (extra dmg vs monsters under lvl 75) |
| Supreme | 20x | +7.5% | 5% | Catalyst scroll (u) every 24h; Blurite sword |
| Prime | 3x | +10% | 10% | Catalyst scroll (u) every 12h; Blurite sword; Training shield (absorbs 20% dmg from sub-75 monsters) |
| Heroic | 1x | +15% | 15% | Prestige perk tree; 50% reduction to XP boosts (capped 300% after reduction) |
Heroic & Prestige
Heroic is an endgame challenge mode: 1x XP, all XP boosts halved (capped at 300% after reduction), in exchange for the strongest drop bonuses and the Prestige Perk Tree.
Prestige points: Prime → Heroic gives 5 points (once); each Heroic → Heroic prestige gives 10 points.
Prestige Perk Tree:
- +10% runex points from PvM kills (2 pts) / +20% (6 pts)
- +2.5% double drops (5 pts) / +5% (15 pts)
- +2.5% chance to re-roll a non-purple raid chest (3 pts) / +5% (9 pts)
- +10% rare chance from mystery chest (10 pts) / +25% (30 pts)
