When playing, there are multiple experience systems in play:

• Dream EXP This experience is transient and only stays with you and levels you up within a single playthrough of an activity. Upon levelling, you will be able to choose a Reverie, which grants bonus power only within the playthrough.
• Lucid EXP This experience is permanent and stays with your character throughout the entire game. Your Lucid Level unlocks other features of the game, and rewards Lucid EXP to apply towards Permanence Upgrades which stay with you throughout all activity playthroughs.
• Mastery EXP This experience permanently applies to specific archetypes of Casters, permanently adding new bonuses to all Casters of that archetype, unlocking FX powers, and allowing the slotting of Implants.

When not participating in an activity, the Crafting system also rewards experience to raise your Crafting Skill, allowing you to craft higher rarity items and salvage more materials from your junk. Crafting Skill increases after each craft or salvage of a Caster or Implant.
