How to use EXP for updates

How to use EXP for Updates

EXP can be spend on generally four things using the Characterupdates: Attributes, Battle Expertises, Deviltechniques / Style Techniques and Job Skills.


Attributes

The cost to improve an attribute depends on the, picked at application, enhancement level. The higher an attribute's enhancement level, the more increase you get for your invested EXP.

Correlation of E-Levels and Increase/Cost relation:

• E-Level 1 = 3/4 of spend EXP as direct attribute increase
  
• E-Level 2 = 4/4 of spend EXP as direct attribute increase
  
• E-Level 3 = 5/4 of spend EXP as direct attribute increase
  
• E-Level 4 = 6/4 of spend EXP as direct attribute increase

So with level 1 you would pay 100 EXP and get a 75 point increase to the attribute in question, with level 2 100 point increase, 3 means 125 points and 4 a whopping 150 points for just 100 EXP.

An Example:

Expertises

Level 1 means 75% of paid EXP become points, level 2 means 100% of used EXP get used, level 3 being 125% and level 4 150% respectively.
So if you have an expertise at enahncement level 1, you can pay 100 EXP and the expertise rises by 75 points. Level 2 transmits 100 EXP to 100 points, 3 means 125 points and 4 a grand 150 points for 100 EXP. More on the topic of distributing enhancement levels can be found in the Character Application Rules.

An Example:

Job Skills & Style Techniques / Deviltechniques

Aquiring Skills of any kind is as easy as fulfilling the potentially listed prerequisites and paying the EPX price listed under "Cost".

Skills may have multiple costs (and job skills also boni in that fashion) like this:

Bonus: 1 / 2 / 4
Cost: 50 / 100 / 400

This means, the skill has multiple stages with different and possibly improved effects. To obtain higher levels of skills, one simply pays the difference between the level they already have and the level they want to reach. In the quoted example, that would mean someone with the skill at stage 1 would have to pay 50 EXP to reach stage 2; because that would bring him or her to 100 EXP paid for the skill (50 to initially obtain it and another 50 to reach stage 2 listed at 100 EXP); in the same fashion, they could pay 350 EXP to go directly from stage 1 to stage 3 (400 EXP paid in total) or directly aquire the skill at a desired stage by paying the full amount named for that stage.
Skills that have boni with stages grant the listed bonus to their expertise when they reach the respective stage, these are unlike the cost, not cumulative.
