Levels

Levels in Booga Booga unlock higher tiers in crafting and unlock more of the game.

Leveling Up
To gain XP to advance levels, you can break things (trees, bushes, etc.), kill mobs, or collect Essence. There is a common misconception that you require the same amount of XP to advance a level further each time, but this is false. You start off having to get 5 XP for level 2 and then: Getting halfway to the level cap would require 3235 XP. This means that Level 65(at 3260 XP) is the "median" level (meaning it's the level where you have closest to half of max XP)

The yellow number & bar next to the sun icon in the top left corner are your XP.

Reaching level 100 Allows you to rebirth & stops you from Leveling up further.

Gods
A common way that people use to level up is destroying the Old God but the old god was replaced. If a potential 22 XP per swing is used to destroy the Old God, then it is reasonable to use this method. The god that drops the second most essence is the Wealthy God. Number 3 is the Miserable God, Hateful God, and Lonely God. Gods have a long respawn time but you can always server hop to gain experience more efficiently.

Killing Mobs
Killing mobs gives you experience, however, although it is a common myth, killing players does not give you experience. All mobs give some experience when killed, some more than others. It can be argued that the Stone Shelly is the most efficient mob to gain experience from, as they respawn every 20-30 seconds and can be killed in one hit with a Magnetite Pickaxe or better. You can also kill a Mammoth, which gives 30 experience.

Cutting down Sun Trees
Sun Trees appear on the Sun Island or near the entrance to Underwater Ice Cave with the Old God, making it a little convenient. They drop 1 Essence and the Feather Bush's now drop 0 Essence (1 Essence gives 10 XP).

Cutting down the Ancient Tree
To level up more you can cut down the Ancient Tree which drops 32 Essence, or 320 XP. This is the most efficient way to gain levels without spending coins. Although the tree takes 2 minutes to respawn, you can server hop to more efficiently gain levels.

Caving
To get experience and some valuable resources rapidly, you can jump into caves. Keep in mind that you may need to build a tower / lookout to get out, and the volcanoe is valuable for this, as it has multiple iron and adurite nodes / crags.
