History Main / ExperienceBooster

* ''Fallout 3'' and ''Fallout: New Vegas'' allows you to pick the perk called "Swift Learner", which boosts the XP you gain by killing enemies, completing quests, and completing minigames by 10%, and it has 3 ranks for both games. ''Fallout: New Vegas'' also has Lessons Learned, which boosts your XP rate depending on what Level you are in. (Level 26 = 26%, Level 27 = 27%, and so on.)

* In the ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' series, there are items (and even soul abilities in ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaAriaOfSorrow'' and ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaDawnOfSorrow'') that have this effect. They are not that useful, however -- level grinding isn't as important as having good weapons, abilities, and playing the games better.

** Joy learns the 0TP cost "Idle" after levelling up a few times. Its use can reveal that skills gained from {{Level Up}}s can be rewarded mid-battle if enough experience is acquired.

* ''VideoGame/VictoryBelles'': Belles that are classified as training ships (Recruit, Jeanne D'Arc, and Amerigo Vespucci) boost the rate that ships below their level gain experience. This further boosted during cruises, and ''especially'' high on event map cruises, which can be sued to rapidly level up Belles by ten or more levels if they start at level 1.

** ''VideoGame/PokemonGo'': The Lucky Egg doubles experience gained for 30 minutes.

* ''LightNovel/IveBeenKillingSlimesFor300YearsAndMaxedOutMyLevel'' is set in an RPGMechanicsVerse where the protagonist unwittingly levels up and gains a special ability that grants a bonus 2XP per monster she defeats. The difference would be trivial on most monsters, but it doubles the XP reward from the bottom-level slimes she's been killing every day for petty cash over the centuries...

* The Exp. All (from ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue''/''Yellow'' only) and Exp. Share divides experience gained from battle among your party or a certain Pokémon when held respectively, and Lucky Egg, which doubles the experience gained in battle, and rarely held by [[MetalSlime Chansey]]. Traded Pokeacute;mon also get an increased experience boost.

* In ''VideoGame/GensouNingyouEnbu'', a ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' fangame based on Pokemon, these appear in multiple flavours. The Combat Handbook item boosts EXP gains by 1.5x when held. The Wooden Sword item boosts PP (Basically the equivalent of Pokemon's Effort Values) gains by 1.5x when held. The Native Grace item increases both EXP and PP gains by 1.5x when held, and the Hakurei Amulet item doubles EXP and PP gains when held.

* The Exp. All (from ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue''/''Yellow'' only) and Exp. Share divides experience gained from battle among your party or a certain Pokémon when held respectively, and Lucky Egg, which doubles the experience gained in battle, and rarely held by [[MetalSlime Chansey]]. Traded Pokemon also get an increased experience boost.

** The Exp. Share is modified in Gen VI, and now functions like the original games' Exp. All. [[GameBreaker Did we mention that in Gen VI, Exp. is no longer split between participants, so everyone that gets any Exp. from a battle gains the full amount?]]

* In the ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' series, there are items (and even soul abilities in the ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaChroniclesOfSorrow Sorrow]]'' games) that have this effect. They are not that useful, however -- level grinding isn't as important as having good weapons, abilities, and playing the games better.

* ''Literature/TreeOfAeons'': As a reincarnator, Matt receives a soul fragment every time a summoned hero dies, although he doesn't know at first what they do. It eventually turns out that, among other benefits, they're boosting his rate of experience gain by 50% per fragment; when he learns about it, he has 56 fragments, granting ''2800%'' bonus experience. And he keeps collecting more as the years pass...

Compare LeakedExperience (if it happens by default), MoneyMultiplier (which does this for loot), RandomDropBooster (which boosts the RandomDrop rate). See also LuckStat and MetaPowerUp. Contrast ExperiencePenalty.

* ''VideoGame/DungeonsAndDragonsOnline'' has the Voice of the Master or Mantle of the Worldshaper that give a 5% bonus, potions for up to a 30% bonus, Tomes of Learning for up to a 20% bonus, and Experience Shrines for up to 5%. [[UpToEleven All of these stack]].

* ''LightNovel/IveBeenKillingSlimesForThreeHundredYearsAndMaxedOutMyLevel'' is set in an RPGMechanicsVerse where the protagonist unwittingly levels up and gains a special ability that grants a bonus 2XP per monster she defeats. The difference would be trivial on most monsters, but it doubles the XP reward from the bottom-level slimes she's been killing every day for petty cash over the centuries...

* ''VideoGame/KnightsOfPenAndPaper'': One of the room items is a rug that gives you [[PercentBasedValues 30% more EXP]] at the cost of losing control of your characters, this works as well as it sounds since anything more then a single EliteMook will cause your characters to attack at random enemies, while they will all focus your tank when you're unable to heal besides regen.
* ''VideoGame/KnightsOfPenAndPaper2'': Some of the Sport Games room items have this effect:
** Bowling Set: Receive 5% more XP.
** Minigold Course: Battles won within the first round grant you 10% extra XP and gold.

*** Also, Gen V's Power Passes were brought forward as O-Powers... which you can now use on yourself as well as friends. Lucky Egg + Exp. Point Power Lvl 3 + Exp. Share = ''450% Experience.'' Or, enough to turn the tedious task of high-level grinding into a minor inconvenience.
