It looks like it take an additional 85 experience points per level where you get 10 for busting a crate and 20 for eating at plant?

So, level 1 to level 2 takes 85, or 9 crates.
Level 2 to level 3 takes 170 exp, or 8 flowers and 1 crate.

Exp come from anywhere else?

Also, is the value of each flower dependent on the level of the character you own whose favorite it is.

Cool... how did you get the number? Just assign a value as a starting point and make the rest relative to it?

Yes, the plants level up according to whose favorite it is. It can be confusing for Bash, Chop Chop, Spyro, and TH with the multiples if you have them.

The question I was wondering today is if the level of the plant helps experience at all. Maybe you can figure that out next...

plants give 20 experience points regardless of their level. also elemental pillars give 15 points per block.

Something else must exist for exp as many of characters have exp like: 801. Maybe partial experience from a totem?

Where are you seeing the exp number?

If you hover your cursor over the yellow or white slider it will show you how much exp you have toards how much you need.

And with that, I can say that rented characters need 100 exp per level (100, 200, 300, etc)

Any more observations about exp? I am still curious why many of my characters have numbers not divisible by 5 even though everything that I can find is worth 10,15,or 20

Okay - fun with numbers time.

Cumulative experience is a simple n factorial which has a closed form solution of ((n-1)^2+(n-1))/2*85
So, by the time you get to level 50 it is the same as taking 1,225 characters from level 1 to level 2.

Since boxes, totems and flowers never get any better, we can give an average of 1 exp per second (rest times, dancing times, etc). This means it would take just under 29 hours to get 1 Skylander from level 1 to level 50. Or, over 1,000 hours for all 37. If this was your full time job (40 hours per week) it would take half a year to level all 37 Skylanders from 1 to 50.

In game design terms, I think they should additional ways to gain experience once a certain level is reached, OR they should adjust how much experience it takes per level.

WTF. I give up trying to get all of them to 50.

Come to think of it: this is a Beta site. I am guessing they are still figuring our how to to 'plant' experience since they seem to get bigger as you gain experience.

Another questions: has anyone reset their skylander on their console and then see if it clears the exp of the on-line skylander?

Okay - so it has all been updated.

For Owned characters
level 1 -> 2 850
level 2 -> 3 1700
(just add another 850 so the same formulae in post 7 applies, just times 10.

For rented it is 100 per level

Barrels/crates are 50
Plants and totems are 75

Exp is now gained in all games depending on how you do. I have found that level 2 of skyland defense pays about 300 exp per very short round.

Do you mean Ground Defence?

Yeah this whole thing just got a lot more complicated. My lvl 20 Voodood needs to get to 17,000 for lvl 21. yes!

Now what they need is portal master experience and levels for fulfilling these quests, er, objectives.

Higher levels of sky defense can yield well over 1,000 exp. but I am not sure how long you have to play to get that. I am sticking with lower levels with shorter durations.

Still, it is very nice that you get exp playing games now. Just coins was silly.

I just got 1040 Exp from the sheep herding game =) (Edit: Roundup )
I'm not sure which game is best, but at least now we can get some change from bashing crates and play games instead =P

Level 8 Skyland Defense I can get just over 1,000 exp for the 90 seconds it takes to complete the level.

Wow, think this is my best Exp gain so far:



3205 Exp in one round of SWAT, which doesn't last long at all =D

I used a drawing tablet to manage it =)

I usually get between 100.000-250.000 points, thus 1000-2500 Exp =^-^=
Sometimes as much as 3000 exp in one quick go! =D

aww you beat my record at swat

Someone have already bumped me down to 26 since I got this record, so seem like I'm not the only one playing this game a lot =)
Such a fast way to level! Got my first level 50 now =)


EDIT: Well, broke my record! =D
3685 EXp in one go is so great! =D

There is still a problem with fun. Getting a Hero tolevel 50 feels too much like work. I was wondering what I would do to make the on-line site more fun.
I think more interaction. An on-line arena would be great. A multiplayer combat area would even be more interesting.
Tasks should get exp. Crates should be more random with exp. Flowers should delivery exp based on the level of the flower.

Any other ideas?

I'd like to see a random element vs. element game, kind of like war.

You and the computer or another live player pick 3 skylanders and they are matched up. the one nearest to an elemental advantage on the chart wins.

I was coming back here today to ask what you have found is the best castle assault level for exp gain. I have been doing level 10 over and over because I can get 1,000exp average in one shot without trying very hard.

Stump Smash up to lvl 26.

That level is only good for Life Heroes. Backspin your way to 1k.
