Kills

Experience received from kills depends on the Challenge Rating (CR) of the enemy killed and your main character's experience level (not current level):

CR	XP at experience level
	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18	19	20

For example, if your main character is currently level 2 but you have enough experience to level up to 8, when you kill an enemy with Challenge Rating 5 you receive 150 XP, not 450 XP (so you cannot level up more quickly by saving levels).

You can receive experience from enemies killed by any allies, even if those allies are not members of your party (for example, repaired droids). However, this isn't recorded in Feedback.

Skills

Experience received when you or one of your party uses Computer Use and Repair normally increases based on your main character's current level: for example, experience received at level 8 is double that received at level 4, but if you're saving levels beyond level 4 then experience received is based on that level, even if you can level up to 8.

Computer Use

You often receive experience from Computer Use, and you can also receive it from enemies killed as a result (although you aren't notified of it, this is recorded in Feedback). Maximum experience received from computer use is as follows:

World	Area	Computer	XP
Endar Spire	Starboard Section	Security Panel	150
Taris	Black Vulkar Base	Security Panel	55 * level
	Black Vulkar Base (Garage)	Garage Computer	35 * level
	Sith Base	Reception Terminal	90 * level
	Davik's Estate	Security Terminal	115 * level
Kashyyyk	Great Walkway	Supply Station	20 * level
Manaan	East Central	Large Computer	20 * level
		Control Terminal	10 * level
	Sith Base	Computer Panel	90 * level
	Hrakert Station	Security Panel	10 * level
	Kolto Control	Computer Panel	20 * level
Leviathan	Prison Block	Brig Terminal	50 * level
	Command Deck	Computer Panel	35 * level
Star Forge System	Temple Main Floor	Computer	55 * level
		Computer	20 * level
Star Forge	Deck 2	Computer Terminal	10 * level
	Command Center	Terminal	120 * level

Repair

You often receive experience from Repair, and you also receive it from enemies killed by repaired droids (although you aren't notified of it, and it isn't recorded in Feedback). Fully repairing a droid normally involves the following:

Repair	XP	Repair	XP
Optimize droid's weaponry	15 * level	Activate droid's shields	15 * level
Optimize droid's targeting systems	15 * level	Engage droid in patrol mode	20 * level

Since you normally receive experience = 65 * current level for fully repairing a droid, and that needed for next level = 1000 * experience level, if you aren't saving levels then you receive 6.5% of experience needed for next level each time you do so. Maximum experience received from repairs is as follows:

World	Area	Droid	XP
Endar Spire	Starboard Section	Combat Droid	130
Taris	Lower City Apartments (East)	Sentry Droid	65 * level
	Lower Sewers	Rusted Droid	65 * level
	Black Vulkar Base	Disabled Sentry	65 * level
	Black Vulkar Base (Garage)	Junkpile Droid	65 * level
		Junkpile Droid	85 * level
	Sith Base	Rusted Sentry	65 * level
Dantooine	Sandral Estate	Faulty War Droid	65 * level
Tatooine	Dune Sea	K-X12A-D Battle Droids	75
	Sand People Territory	Vorn's Assault Droid	65 * level
Kashyyyk	Great Walkway	Damaged Sentry Droid	65 * level
Manaan	Docking Bay	Assault Droid	20 * level
	Sith Base	Faulty War Droid	65 * level
	Hrakert Station	Faulty Patrol Droid	65 * level
		Faulty Patrol Droid	65 * level
Korriban	Tomb of Tulak Hord	Patrol Droid	65 * level
Leviathan	Prison Block	Decommissioned Droid	65 * level
	Command Deck	Decommissioned Droid	65 * level
Star Forge System	Temple Main Floor	Rusted Droid	65 * level

Stealth

As far as is known, you only receive experience for using Stealth once in the entire game: 300 XP for sneaking past three Sith in the Endar Spire's Starboard Section.

Level up

Receiving experience allows characters to gain levels, up to maximum level 20. Experience needed for next level = 1000 * experience level, while total needed for experience level = next level * current level * 500:

Level	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Needed	0	1000	3000	6000	10000	15000	21000	28000	36000	45000
Party lvl	1		2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9

Level	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18	19	20
Needed	55000	66000	78000	91000	105000	120000	136000	153000	171000	190000
Party lvl	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17

Party members only receive 80% of the experience of the main character, regardless of whether or not they're in the current selection, so the main character normally needs 25% more experience before party members are the same level:

Party lvl	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Needed	0	1250	3750	7500	12500	18750	26250	35000	45000	56250
Level	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	10	11

Party lvl	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18	19	20
Needed	68750	82500	97500	113750	131250	150000	170000	191250	213750	237500
Level	12	13	14	15	16	17	18	20

Saving levels

For all but the main character, whenever enough experience is received to level up, doing so as soon as possible is recommended. However, the main character starts as one class and later chooses a Jedi class, so the more levels gained with the starting class, the less can be gained with the Jedi class (and vice versa).

You must level up once to progress beyond the Bridge of the Endar Spire, but after you've gained level 2 you don't have to level up any further before becoming a Jedi, even once you've received enough experience to gain multiple levels. Before you choose a Jedi class you'll typically have received enough experience to gain level 8 at most; even if you're able to gain higher level with your starting class, this isn't recommended as level < 12 Jedi are not granted Master Sense (+2 Defense) or the highest level of their class feat.

Since maximum level is 20, the choice is normally between level 2-8 starting class and level 12-18 Jedi class. Since saving levels can make Taris (much) more challenging, remaining at level 2 isn't recommended except for experienced players who choose to become a Jedi Consular (since this gives them more Force powers earlier and in total, and more Force points to use them for longer and regenerate more out of combat).

Level 5 starting class and level 15 Jedi class is a popular choice, since characters whose level < 5 are killed instantly by any melee attack following debilitation. However, more experienced players may choose differently depending on a number of factors.

Attributes

Attack

Base Attack bonus of main characters at level 20 depends on starting class, Jedi class and the level at which they become a Jedi:

Jedi class	Soldier level							Scout level							Scoundrel level
	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	2	3	4	5	6	7	8
Jedi Guardian	20							19			18				19			18

Jedi Consular	15		16				17	14		15	14			15	14		15	14			15

These totals are further modified by STR for melee attacks and DEX for ranged attacks and lightsabers (if DEX > STR). They can also be increased by Weapon Focus feats (among others) and Effect bonuses on weapons.

Vitality

Jedi Consular	128	132	136	140	144	148	152	124	126	128	130	132	134	136	120

These totals increase by 20 with Toughness and again with Master Toughness, and are further modified by 20 * CON.

Force

Force points of main characters at level 20 depend on Jedi class and the level at which they become a Jedi. The following totals include 40 Force points from the Force Sensitive feat:

Jedi Guardian	112	108	104	100	96	92	88
Jedi Sentinel	148	142	136	130	124	118	112
