Experience Point

Almost all monsters in Tibia give some experience when they are slain. The amount of experience points earned by killing a monster depends roughly on how difficult it is to defeat that monster. It varies from a Rat which will give 5 exp. up to the Demon which will give 6000 exp. when killed. There are also some monsters that give no experience at all, those monsters are no challenge to kill since they don't fight back when attacked.

All characters start with 0 experience points when they first enter the game, in the temple of Rookgaard. By killing monsters they get experience, which can become a very large number. The experience is represented by a characters level. On the official website is the full experience table where is listed how much experience is needed to reach a certain level.
