# Using Freight Punks

Once you’ve attached your Driver (Freight Punk) to your vehicle, you can start earning XP, levels, and Skill Points to spend in the Skill Tree.

## Earning XP and Levels

### **XP and Levels**

Every race you compete in will give your Punk some XP based on their placing in the race.

The amount of XP gained is as follows:

* 1st place - 10 XP
* 2nd place - 8 XP
* 3rd place - 6 XP
* 4th and onwards - 2 XP

Your required XP amount to gain a level can be calculated using the following formula:

{% hint style="info" %}
xp\_to\_next\_level = ((current\_level + 1) / 0.25)²
{% endhint %}

> Example. In order to get from level 4 to level 5, you’d need to accumulate 400 XP

$$
((4 + 1) / 0.25)² = 400
$$

### ​Gaining Skill Points

Each level gained will give you some Skill Points, the amount depends on your level

The Skill Points gained are as follows:

* Lvl 1 - 20 = 1 Skill Point
* Lvl 21 - 40 = 2 Skill Points
* Lvl 41 - 60 = 4 Skill Points
* Lvl 61 - 80 = 6 Skill Points
* Lvl 80+ = 8 Skill Points

### Using Skill Points

Skill Points can be spent on different skills in the skill tree. The tree has 3 branches to differentiate the skills.

* Vehicle Branch
* Terrain/Weather Branch
* Miscellaneous Branch

Different Skills will give different advantages to your racing experience.

Most skills have tiers, which means you can buy a skill more than once (3-5 times).

Each higher tier of the same skill will increase the given bonus.

{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}

In order to obtain a skill point, choose one from the tree (make sure you have enough skill points to cover the costs), and click Confirm. You’ll have to sign using your wallet. Wait for the confirmation to appear and then the skill will be applied.
