How XP & Ranks work
SideKwest has two separate progression tracks — one for going on adventures, one for creating great ones.
Explorer XP
Earned by completing other people's Kwests. 500 XP per level. You don't earn Explorer XP for completing your own Kwest.
Creator XP
Earned when other people complete a Kwest you made — +25 per unique completer. Repeat completions by the same person don't count, so quality and originality matter more than volume. 250 XP per Creator level.
Creator titles
Build adventures people genuinely want to do — your creator rank reflects real community impact.
