Skill levels: the current XP curve
Current guide — checked 19 September 2026
Survival has seven active skills: Mining, Woodcutting, Farming, Fishing, Hunting, Smithing and Exploration. Cooking has been removed from active progression.
The current first-cycle curve reaches level 99 at 100,000 total XP. For target level L:
total XP = 100000 × ((L - 1) / 98)^2
Level 50 requires 25,000 total XP. The cost of a level is the difference between its two thresholds.
The base realm rate is 1.0×, with progression time at 100%. Different qualifying actions award different XP. Active personal bonuses can help; the curve is not a timer.
Earlier three-hours-per-skill and all-eight-skills estimates were reference models, not measured completion times. Do not use them as promises for the current seven-skill game.
Individual skill restarts are optional at level 99. Open /prestige for the current preview and rewards. Skill XP, quest objectives, daily tasks and any configured tool requirements are separate checks. Your live cards show what counts.
