How is total XP calculated?

The tool sums the XP needed for each level from your current level to the cap, where each level costs base times level raised to the exponent. A higher exponent makes later levels cost far more, matching most end-game curves.

What exponent should I use?

Use 1 for a linear curve where every level costs the same step, and 2 for a quadratic curve where each level costs noticeably more than the last. Most games sit between 1.5 and 3; tune it until the early levels match what you have seen in game.

How do I find my XP per hour?

Note your XP at the start and end of an hour of normal play and subtract. Use an average session, not your best burst, so the forecast reflects realistic progress rather than an ideal run.

Does this account for bonus XP events?

Not automatically. Double-XP weekends, rested XP, and premium boosts all shorten the real time. Treat the estimate as a baseline and reduce it by your expected bonus percentage.

Why does the estimate grow so much near the cap?

With a steep XP curve the final levels each cost far more than early ones, so most of the remaining time is spent on the last stretch. That is why the day count can balloon even when you are close in level number.

Knowing roughly how many evenings of play stand between you and the level cap helps you decide whether to grind it out or pace yourself. This calculator sums a configurable XP curve across every remaining level and turns it into a realistic day count at your own play rate.

How it works

Each level costs base × level^exponent XP. The tool sums that across every level from your current one to the cap, then converts XP to hours and days:

totalXp    = Σ base × L^exponent   for L from current+1 to max
totalHours = totalXp / xpPerHour
days       = totalHours / hoursPerDay

Example and tips

With a base of 100, an exponent of 2, levelling from 20 to 100 at 15,000 XP per hour and 3 hours a day, the quadratic curve makes the last twenty levels dominate the total. To shorten the grind, raise your XP-per-hour by farming the most efficient activity and stack any double-XP events, which apply directly to the hours figure. Re-run the tool whenever your XP rate changes so the forecast stays honest.
