EXPERIENCE XP

You can earn experience two ways, whenever you kill a monster or by proficiencies. 
When enough experience points are earned, you may raise a level by going 
to your guildmaster and gaining. Use the LEVELS command to see if you have
enough experience to level. If you are level 15 then LEVELS 16 will show you
how much you have right now and what you need to level to 16. When you gain
your level, the amount of experience needed will be subtracted from your total.
If you have enough experience to gain you don't have to gain (unless you are
a paragon), you can accumulate experience for multiple levels and then go
to your guildmaster and type gain until you have used it all. Your prompt
can show the amount of experience needed for the next level.

Until level 10 you will automatically gain without seeing your guildmaster. 
Also, paragons will automatically gain when they have enough experience. 

Things you should know about experience points:

    *  When grouped you receive a share of the experience from the mobiles
       your group kills. Shares are determined by your level and you must be
       in the room to receive your share.
    *  When you die you lose experience and possibly hms or a stat point. But, 
       if you find your corpse and secrifice it you can get some of that 
       experience back.

Use the EXPERIENCE or GOLD command to see your experience bonuses along with 
your gold balance, bank balance, total experience, and experience to level.
