Points or PT’s are where your character can be completely unique. You level each PT, or ability, separately and these can help shape your character and how it will be played. For example, you can level your Melee and Force but this would not allow you to wear Ranger equipment, and as such you could not gain the run speed bonus from Ranger Armors.

Another example would be if you are a Force user (a Spiritualist) and you have only leveled up your Force skills; this would leave you with a low Defense, Melee and Range skill, meaning you would have Low HP, could not wear warrior armor or weapons, and additionally you could not use the Bows, Guns and Ranger Armors.

Experience or XP (sometimes known as exp) is gained to level your character up; the highest level you can currently attain within RF Online is level 50. This takes quite some time to achieve but is well worth the work.

Level 50 characters are far more powerful than the players below them and as such can quite easily kill their adversaries. However this does not make them invincible; depending on their class and race they will have a weakness, and if you know their weakness you can exploit it and kill them.
