As characters complete [[Expeditions]] and earn [[Experience Points]] they will have the opportunities to level up and advance their class.

==Determine if you want to level up==
The west marches is split into four distinct [[Tier of Play|Tiers of Play]] which holds its own restrictions on Expeditions they can attend. You might prefer lower level Expeditions or want to continue pursuing a storyline from a storyteller that will remain for low level characters. Whatever the reason, you can choose to stay at your current tier of play.

When you reach enough EXP to level up but decide you don't want to go to the next tier, any EXP overflow becomes [[Experience Points|Free EXP]]. (e.g. If you had 900 XP and earned 150 during an Expedition, you would be at 1000 EXP with 50 free XP). You can continue playing the character in Expeditions following the normal Tier of Play restrictions. Whenever you would earn EXP again, you can once again make the choice to either level up or bank the EXP into Free EXP.

==Plan what features you're taking==
Having an idea of what new features you want to take beforehand is best. You can use a variety of tools to help you plan.

Some points to keep in mind about the west marches:
