Attribute
Attributes in ChatWars are used to describe a player. Each attribute describes another part of the character in question.
Level and Experience
The most basic attribute in the game is experience referenced by the symbol . Experience can be gained by multiple actions. At the beginning of the game at level 1, a player can only go questing in the forest and will gain experience if the quest is successful. Participating in the battle of the castles yields experience, too. With increasing level, the options to gain experience get more diverse: there are more possibilities of quests, the arena as Player vs Player fights gives experience and certain skills, depending on the class, will give bonus experience within a daily limit. For example the Educated Technician gives experience for crafting items each day.
The character level is based on their experience. With increasing level it needs more and more experience to reach the next level, while the experience gained from any action also rises with level. While characters progress to higher levels, they unlock new game features and get rewards along the way.
