Scoring
XP is spent. Marks stay.
Earn XP through daily practice and wisdom cards, then spend it on digital Marks: small reminders that stay with you. Each unique Mark adds Wisdom, Strength, and Fortune. Spending XP does not take those points back.
How you earn XP
XP is one spendable balance. It is not a measure of character.
| Action | XP | When |
|---|---|---|
| Save a check-in | 10 | Once a day, if you kept or slipped |
| Keep a commitment | 2 each | Up to 3 a day |
| Collect wisdom | 5 | Once a day, after the three cards in check-in |
| Finish a lesson | 10 | Once per lesson, in a course |
| 7-day streak | 25 | Once, when every commitment was kept |
| 14-day streak | 50 | Once, when every commitment was kept |
| 30-day streak | 100 | Once, when every commitment was kept |
Not ready yet earns nothing. A slip still counts as a saved check-in, without a point for the commitment you missed. It resets the streak count, not your XP, your Marks or your level. You begin again the next day.
How you spend XP
Spend XP, or pay once, to discover a Mark from a collection in My Practice.

| Find StillnessQuiet Objects | 150 XPor $3 | 300 XPor $5 |
A surprise is one random Mark from the collection; duplicates are possible and still count. Choose one gives you, or someone you bless, that exact Mark. A steady week of practice earns about one surprise.
XP from physical Keepsakes
Purchases of eligible physical Keepsakes can also earn XP. Check the product details for the XP awarded for each eligible purchase.
What a mark adds
Each digital Mark adds its own Wisdom, Strength, and Fortune, and every copy adds them again. New accounts start at zero. Restarting practice keeps your XP and Marks; it only resets the streak.
How levels work
Everyone starts at Level 1, an Apprentice. Your points are your Wisdom, Strength and Fortune added together, and each new level needs a few more points than the last. Spending XP or restarting practice never lowers your level. There is no level cap: every Mark you collect, copies included, keeps raising it.
Symbols add 2 points, figures add 4, split across Wisdom, Strength and Fortune. Level 2 needs 6 points, and each level after needs 2 more than the one before. There is no top level. XP is what you spend; points are what your Marks add to you, and spending XP never lowers them.
Ranks
Every level belongs to a rank. They mark how far your practice has come.

Your collection, your progress
A discovery may reveal a Mark you already own, and that is good news: every copy adds its Wisdom, Strength and Fortune again, so your level keeps growing. Your practice accomplishments remain a record of the effort you put in.
