# Increase XP Rate on Your Palworld Server (/docs/palworld/xp-rate)



import { Step, Steps } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/steps';

The `ExpRate` setting controls how fast players gain experience points and level up.

Changing the XP Rate [#changing-the-xp-rate]

1. Stop your server
2. In the [XGamingServer Panel](https://panel.xgamingserver.com), click **Files**
3. Open `Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.ini`
4. Find `ExpRate` and change the value:

```
ExpRate=2.000000
```

5. Save and start your server

Values [#values]

| Value  | Effect                              |
| ------ | ----------------------------------- |
| `0.5`  | Half XP — slow progression          |
| `1.0`  | Default — normal leveling speed     |
| `2.0`  | Double XP — popular for casual play |
| `3.0`  | Triple XP — fast progression        |
| `5.0`  | 5x XP — very fast, good for testing |
| `10.0` | 10x XP — near-instant leveling      |

> 💡 **Tip:** `2.0` is the sweet spot for most servers — fast enough to feel rewarding, slow enough to still have progression.
