Quest XP

Quest XP is a feature in Scrap Clicker 2. It was added in update 11.0 (Early 2023). It's unlocked at x1400 Stars via the Tree Upgrades. It consists of: XP, the level, the new currency books and their upgrades. They are a part of and closely connected to Quests, which are unlocked at x60 Stars.

Quest XP


Quest XP can be earned by doing Quests. After unlocking Quest XP, every quest also gives some xp as a secondary reward. The amount is based on the quest size and the more xp upgrade.

Quest Level


By earning XP, the Quest Level can be increased. The player starts at level 0, and reaching the first level takes 20 XP. After a level up, the player earns books and the XP that was needed for the level up gets subtracted from the player's Quest XP. (Example: You need 1200 and have 1403, you get a level up, some books and are at 203/1210 xp.)

The formula to calculate the xp needed for a level up is:

$$10 + 10 * {level}$$ where l is the level the player wants to reach.

A few examples:

Books
Books can be earned from quest level ups. The amount of books earned is equal to the level reached, e. g. level 1 rewards the player with 1 book, level 2 with 2 books, and so on. Books can be spent on 6 upgrades.

The in-game text says:

Click on one of the six Boosts.

Pressing on the Buy button will

upgrade the selected Boost. The

cost increases with each upgrade.

Book Upgrades
Books can be spent on 6 upgraes:

The best of these upgrades is more XP, and it is essential to properly profit from Quest XP. It's recommended to have it at least twice as high as the second highest upgrade. More Magnets and More Golden Scrap are the next best upgrades, and More Fragments and More Wrenches are very useful as well. More Scrap is generally considered to be a very weak upgrade and many players ignore it completely. Several of these upgrades have great synergy with Position Upgrades.

They all cost the same, but upgrading one does not make the others more expensive (anymore, this was a thing in the first beta). The costs start at 2 books and increase by 2 every level:

$$2 + 2 * {level}$$

History

 * 11.0 first beta: Added.
 * 11.0 second beta: Reduced boosts, but they no longer share their costs. Refunds for all players.

Trivia

 * In the first beta for 11.0, the boosts were different: 3%, 5%, 10%, 10%, 10% and 25% instead of 2%, 3%, 5%, 8%, 5% and 25%. However, they all shared the same costs. In the second beta, this was changed and the boosts reduced.
 * Some players abused this to get more XP by staying in the first beta, since 10% > 8%. However, this only worked if you didn't upgrade the other 5 upgrades.
 * The tree upgrade that unlocks Quest XP used to increase the max. level of Doubled Barrel by +25. When it was replaced, the x600 Stars upgrade was buffed from +25 to +50.
