| Levels | Activity | XP/hour | XP | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 → 3 |  Debrissame rate:  Coal trace  Copper trace  Iron trace | 720 | 1,000 | ~1 h 23 min |
| 3 → 5 |  Chromite node | 1,440 | 8,000 | ~5 h 33 min |
| 5 → 6 |  Cobalt tracesame rate:  Niobium trace  Titanium trace  Zirconium trace | 2,520 | 18,000 | ~7 h 9 min |
| 6 → 10 |  Cobalt nodesame rate:  Niobium node  Titanium node  Zirconium node | 2,880 | 2,160,000 | ~750 h |
| From level 1 to 10, always on the fastest activity | ~764 h | |||
XP per hour is the XP of one action × 3,600 ÷ the seconds it takes: gathering at the base time (tools, skill level and other gatherers shorten it) and crafting with the ingredients in hand.
