XP

XP (or Experience) can be earned by harvesting, completing quests, and many more. Once the player has gained enough XP, the player levels up. After leveling up, the XP meter drops back down to "0", and the amount of XP increases.
 * Experience points (XP) are earned for just about all actions in the game. If you purchase an item you will earn some XP. If you complete a job or finish a process such as building a house or completing a task you will also earn XP.
 * XP are seen as stars in the game and when they land on the ground you can click on them to add them to the XP indicator located at the top center of the game screen faster. Three different icons (see below) are used to indicate how much XP has been awarded.
 * XP are what determines when you reach a new level in the game. If you look at the top center of the game screen you will see your level/XP indicator. It will tell you how many XP you currently have and how many you need to reach the next level.
 * The star on the XP indicator shows you your current level in the game.
 * Each time you level up you will earn machetes, additional XP, food points, collectibles, silver coins, and sometimes gold bars. You will also unlock several items in the market which will allow you to place more items in your town and increase your overall town value.

Icons
The following icons are used for XP when it is awarded. These icons usually appear next to whatever has been harvested or tended, although may also drop into the centre of your town.
