"Your Adventurer Level will rise as you slay monsters, take on challenges, and get achievements. Those blue diamonds represent your experience (XP) and, depending on how many you have collected, The Adventurer's Guild will grant you a matching level." (Master Adventurer)
Gaining experience points (XP) and leveling up in Monster of Uncharted Seas is done with Adventurer Levels.
The Kid has a gameplay characteristic called Experience which is displayed in the top left corner of the in-game menu. Each time the Kid kills an enemy he earns a fixed amount of experience points (XP for short) which varies from enemy to enemy. This amount is then added to his Experience and, when the sum exceeds some predefined value, the Kid is assigned a new Adventurer Level. He then kills more enemies, earns more XP, and gets new Adventurer Levels, and so on.
There are also two other ways to significantly increase the Kid's experience other than enemy bashing: Finding explorer crystals and accomplishing game challenges. Explorer crystals increase the Kid's experience by 25 to 500 XP each, and game challenges award him with even bigger experience bonuses - up to stunning 1,000 XP.
Unlike experience levels in most common RPG games, Adventurer Levels do not increase some internal stats of the Kid, such as Strength, Magic Power, Speed, Agility, and the like. Instead, after gaining a new Adventurer Level some of the Hero's abilities are improved (e. g., jumping and rolling consume less stamina), his storage is expanded (e. g., the Kid can carry 15 Bombs at a time instead of 10), his equipment may get new abilities (e. g., his boat gets equipped with a Pumpkin Seed Gun or his Coral Saber can shoot missiles of light), and so on. As a rule of thumb, all the Kid's health and expendable items (Bombs and Arrows) are refilled upon gaining a new Adventurer Level. Occasionally the Kid is awarded with a cash bonus.
