XP Spends -- Time: The following is a general rule of thumb on "how long does it take" to raise Abilities. In actuality, this will vary somewhat depending on how hard it is to "learn" something, and how much you have RPed learning it. However, the WOD stats system is exponential, so it can take quite a while to go from being a "novice" to being an "expert," especially in a knowledge.

  • Buying a new ability: 1 month
  • Level 2: 2-3 months
  • Level 3: 6-12 months
  • Level 4: 12-16 months
  • Level 5: 16+ months


Sphere-Specific XP Costs (see also NEWS XP):
Gnosis = current rating x 2
Rage = current rating

  • To raise Gnosis to 7 or higher, double the cost again. For example, to raise Gnosis to level 7, it would cost 6 (current rating) x 2 x 2=24 XP.
  • To raise Rage to 6 or higher, double the cost again. For example, to raise Rage to level 6, it would cost 5 (current rating) x 2=10 XP.


Gift = level of Gift x 3
Gift outside breed/tribe/auspice = level of Gift x 5
Gift learned from Garou = +1 XP of base cost
Rite = cannot be raised with XP
