In RLCraft, skill points are your ticket to survival. As opposed to vanilla Minecraft, in which your only real limitation is gear, RLCraft has a deep and unforgiving RPG-style progression system where players must spend skill points before they can even use basic tools, wear armor, or use powerful weapons. The secret to survival in this harsh modpack is mastering how to earn, allocate, and maximize your skill points.

In this guide, we’ll break down how to get skill points in RLCraft, how to use them wisely, and key tips to boost your leveling progress.

What Are Skill Points in RLCraft?

RLCraft introduces a custom leveling system where players must spend skill points to unlock essential gameplay abilities. These range from using iron tools and diamond weapons to wearing armor or even farming and fishing efficiently.

The leveling system is separated into several categories such as:

• Mining
• Defense
• Attack
• Agility
• Farming
• Gathering
• Magic

Each category of skill requires Experience Points (XP) to level up, which in turn provides you Skill Points that you can assign.

How to Obtain Skill Points in RLCraft

RLCraft skill points are primarily obtained by leveling up your experience bar by performing normal tasks such as:

• Killing Mobs Killing mobs is the most reliable method of gaining XP in RLCraft. Enemy mobs like skeletons, zombies, and Lycanite mobs drop good levels of XP. Farming XP from spawners or having a mob grinder safe can level you effectively. Quick Tip: Employ an item that has the "Looting" or "Experience Boost" enchantments to increase XP drop levels.
• Mining Ores Redstone, lapis lazuli, and other ores are mined for experience points. When you have iron or diamond tools available (after achieving Mining level 8 or higher), branch mining can then be utilized as a reliable source of XP farming.
• Smelting Items Smelting iron, gold, or food items rewards minor amounts of consistent XP. It is less efficient compared to mob grinding, but a passive safe method that is particularly useful during early game.
• Breeding Animals Breeding animals like chickens, cows, and sheep not only help with food supply but also provide small amounts of XP. This is a good technique to employ in a controlled, safe base setup.
• Fishing and Cooking Though under-estimated, fishing and cooking food also provide XP in the long term. By positioning correctly, it can be employed as a semi-passive way to gain skill points while staying safe from hostile mobs.

How to Spend Skill Points

In order to spend your valuable skill points, press the L key to access the RLCraft Leveling GUI. Various categories are available there where points can be allocated. More XP will be required for each level compared to the last, so choose wisely regarding your build.

Early-Game Necessities

• Defense (Level 4–8): Enables you to wear chainmail and iron armor.
• Attack (Level 4–8): Required for swinging iron and diamond weapons.
• Mining (Level 4–8): Required to use iron pickaxes to mine better ores.
• Farming (Level 4): Allows use of iron hoes and better harvesting of crops.

Mid-to-Late Game Skills

• Magic: Needed for using wands, staffs, and magical items.
• Agility: Allows use of better bows and increased movement speed.
• Gathering: Allows faster gathering of plant material.
• Building: Useful if you want to place or take away blocks that require more skill.

Best Ways to Farm XP Quickly

RLCraft leveling may be a grind, but if you use proper techniques, you can farm XP efficiently.

• Set up an XP Farm Mob farming with mob spawners or dark rooms will help you gain humongous XP with little effort. Combined with an XP storage mod or bottle system, you can save XP to use later.
• Venture Battle Towers

Battle towers are also ideal for XP farming. The floors are filled with mobs and loot, so they are dangerous but highly rewarding. The higher you go, the more XP and item rewards you receive.

• Use Experience Bottles

These can be plundered from dungeons or towers of war and give XP directly. Stock up on them for when you are in a rush to level your skills.

• Enchant Your Gear Enchanted weapons with "Mending" and "Unbreaking" not only cut down on durability but enable you to have longer XP farming sessions without having to go back home all the time.

Tips to Maximize Skill Point Efficiency

• Plan Your Build: Know whether you’re going for a melee, magic, or ranged playstyle and invest in relevant skills.
• Avoid Death: Death in RLCraft will cost you some of your XP. Use bed or waystones to reduce the risk.
• Use XP Tomes: Some mods allow you to put XP in books or bottles and save it for future use.
• Hunt Wisely: Hunt the mobs that reward more XP. Lycanite mobs are lethal but reward you with more loot and XP.
