XP Requirements

After character creation, players start off at level 1 with 320 total XP. The formula to get from your current level to your destination level is the following:
XP required = 320 * [(destination level)^2 - (current level)^2]
In words, square both your current level and your destination level, then subtract your squared current level from your squared destination level, then multiply by 320 to get the XP required.
