Experience Points (XP)

The tavern keeper can spend experience points (XP) to increase their efficiency and/or efficacy in any combination of five areas of personal competence. Experience points are gained by completing quests. These include the initial getting started quests as well as the completion of special orders (available at Reputation 4).


 * Bartending - affects speed with which a drink can be pulled and sprint speed
 * Cleaning - affects speed of cleaning
 * Crafting - affects both time required for crafting and the number of units crafted at a time (e.g. bowls of soup)
 * Farming - affects the number of units harvested from each farmed tile
 * Haggling - reduces buy costs, increases sell prices, and affects the chance of haggling

Competencies can be improved in discrete stages, with each subsequent stage of a competency costing more experience. The benefits received at each of the first several stages are shown in the table below, along with the cost of each stage in experience points.
