# v8: Public testing phase 2
Today is the day! v8 is going into the second phase of public testing, which will last until end of the month. As this is the last phase of testing, we are looking for feedback and bug reports. If you find any bugs, please report them on our [Discord Community](https://discord.xp-bot.net).

# How to get your hands on v8 early
Phase 2 of public testing will happen on our [Discord Community](https://discord.xp-bot.net), where we will replace the current v7 bot with v8 for the entire month. All of XPs core features have already been implemented into v8, so for active community members, there shouldn't be any difference between using v7 and v8. If you are not a member of our Discord Community yet, you can join by clicking [here](https://discord.xp-bot.net).

# TODO & Known Issues
You can find a frequently updated list of known issues and planned features for v8 [here](https://github.com/orgs/xp-bot/projects/8). If you want to report a bug, please use #bug-reports for that. We will add your report to our list of known issues if it's not already on there.

v8 is going into the second & final phase of public testing before release. Learn how to get your hands on early in this post!

v8: Public testing phase 2

# Transparency is key
We want to take a moment to talk about a core value that we hold dear to our hearts: transparency. As a team, we believe that transparency is key to building trust and fostering a positive relationship with our users.

Over the years, we have added paid features to our bot. We carefully selected these features to ensure they were not essential for day-to-day use but rather nice-to-haves. We understand that once money is involved, it's natural to have some level of distrust. You want to know where your money is going and expect the best value and service for your hard-earned cash.

We are committed to providing the best possible service to our users, but we are not always able to deliver. As a team, we work on this project as a hobby alongside our day-to-day jobs. Sometimes it's hard for us to spend the few extra hours fixing issues on XP, but we're doing our best to make sure you have the best experience possible.

We understand that this might not mean a lot to you, and you might have to wait a couple of months for features to get fixed. That's why we want to be completely transparent with you about our earnings, expenses, and liquidity buffer.

So, without further ado, here's a rundown of every service we need to pay and every dollar we earn by offering premium features.

## Open cards
The following data has been last updated on **01. October 2023**.

### Earnings

- **Patreon income:** 150,- € /month
- **Patreon Count:** 30 Patreons
- **Discord Boosts:** 7

### Expenses:

- **Server Infrastructure:** 127,- € /month
- **Developers on payroll:** 0,- € /month

As you can see, we do not pay ourselves a penny. We purely want this to stay a fun hobby project. We hope that by being open about our earnings and expenses, you can see that we are committed to providing the best possible service to our users while maintaining transparency and trust.

In addition to being transparent about our earnings and expenses, we also believe in the power of open source. We're committed to taking transparency to the next level by open sourcing our stack part by part.

## One last thing

This has been a long-time discussion, and we're finally beginning to make it happen. We're excited to share that our production repository for this very Dashboard is now available for anyone to clone, run, experiment with, and contribute to.

We understand that not everyone is familiar with open source development, so we've provided clear instructions on how to get started in the repository's readme file. We hope that by open sourcing our code, we can collaborate with you to improve and innovate our services together.

<div style="border-radius: 10px; overflow: hidden; box-shadow: 0px 4px 5px -2px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);"><a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/xp-bot/dashboard">![xp-bot/dashboard](https://opengraph.githubassets.com/a99694b784f86a20b630f73453377e231be6f11183e84defd20207c8b0b60a86/xp-bot/dashboard)</a></div>

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to working with you all to make our bot the best it can be.

Best regards,  
your XP Development Team ❤️

We emphasize transparency and open-source development to build trust with you by sharing our earnings and expenses and open-sourcing our code.

# Dashboard V2 Public Beta
The new XP Dashboard is finally here, and we couldn't be more excited to share all the new features and improvements with you! We've spent the last few months working tirelessly to make the best XP Dashboard yet, and we think you're going to love what we've come up with.

### Major goals
One of the major goals we had with the new XP Dashboard was to make it more accessible and user-friendly for mobile users. With the rise of mobile devices, it's more important than ever to ensure that our users can easily configure XP on the go. We've completely redesigned the interface with mobile users in mind, making it much easier to navigate and use on a small screen.

### Highly requested features
We've also made some specific changes to make editing ranking card on mobile devices more easier. Now you can better edit your ranking card directly from your mobile device, this was a requested feature and we've made sure that it's now a reality in the new version.

### Blazingly fast
In addition to being more mobile-friendly, we've also made the new XP Dashboard incredibly fast and optimized. The page will adapt to your device theme (dark/light), and we've optimized the code to make the whole page load more quickly. This means you can get your server set up in a matter of seconds, without any delays or waiting.  
Oh, and have we mentioned? It's now a fully optimized PWA, making the experience even more seamless.

### Try it out
All in all, the new XP Dashboard is a major improvement over the previous version, and we're confident that you'll love all the new features and improvements. We've put a lot of time and effort into making this the best XP Dashboard yet, and we hope you find it as useful as we do.

You can join the closed beta by subscribing to [XP Premium](https://qwq.sh/ljt41f) right now ...or take a look at some screenshots below!

# XP Premium Subscription Changes
> Before we start: If you're already subscribed to XP Premium, these changes won't affect you. You can just continue to use XP Premium as usual.

## So what did change?
In the past, XP Premium had to be paid at the first day of each month. Additionally to that, you had to pay at the first day of your subscription. This meant, that you basically paid for a full month even though you didn't actually get features for a full month. 
Another problem with this was, that you could subscribe to XP Premium at the 30th of a month and then pay again one day later at the 1st of the next month. And nobody likes paying twice for one thing. So we changed it!

Instead of paying every 1st of each month, you'll now be charged in a 1 month cycle. So if you subscribe on the 15th, you will only be charged at the 15th of the month after that.

## Why was it different before?
We actually knew about this issue, but we couldn't really do anything about it as we use [Patreon](https://patreon.com) as our payment provider. The new subscription model just launched a few days ago, so we made sure to enable it as soon as possible.

A few details about the new XP Premium subscriptions.

Premium Subscription Changes

# Quality Of Life Changes: September 2022

Hello there!  
Today, we want to announce a few small improvements for XP that are available from now on.

These include changes to voting, free premium and more.

Let's get started!

## Less Voting

We heard you. Voting is annoying when it comes to changing server settings for XP. Therefore, with the latest update, you are no longer required to vote in order to save settings on your dashboard.

Voting still applies to Games commands though. If you want to remove voting for your Account entirely, consider supporting XP by subscribing to [XP Premium](https://premium.xp-bot.net).

## Getting Premium is even easier now

Just recently, we added a way to get XP Premium for free. Our initial requirements were Level 400 for User Premium and Level 500 for Server Premium. We think that these levels are quite high and hard to achieve. From now on, you'll only need to reach Level 100 for User Premium and Level 150 for 1x Server Premium on our [official Discord Community](https://discord.xp-bot.net).

## Statuspage improvements

To make announcing outages, incidents and more even more simple and to have everything in one place, you can now also view status reports on the [XP Status Site](https://xp-bot.net/status). Status reports will also be shown in #status-reports on Discord as usual.

# Thank you for using XP

Seriously, we mean it. The past month has been the most successful month for XP ever and the bot continues to power more Communities every day because of your support!

Thank you for using XP in your Community.

* The XP Team

# Guide: Levelroles and Boosts

In this guide, we will cover how levelroles and boosted roles work in your community!

But first of all, what even is a levelrole?  
A levelrole is a role on your Discord community, which is set to be assigned to someone when they reach a specific level. You can set if a user should collect or just get the highest available role and boosts allow you to set special features for (level)roles. This can be utilised to enhance your server in a variety of ways and will most likely increase your servers activity by a lot.

# How to set up levelroles

To configure levelroles, head over to your [Dashboard](https://xp-bot.net/me/servers) and select your server. From there you can go to the Roles tab.

![Roles Tab](https://qwq.sh/nxyt96)

On the right side, you can now view a small interface to set up roles. As soon as you've set roles, you can save your changes. After that you are good to go and everything should work as expected!

![Set a role](https://qwq.sh/y1lv1m)

### Troubleshooting

> You cannot set two roles for one level. Doing so will overwrite the previously set role.
>
> If your levelroles don't work, make sure XPs bot role is above all other roles and has the **Manage Roles** permission.
>
> Your roles might take up to 30 minutes to show up on your dashboard.

# Boosts

Boosts enable you to reward a user with more xp each time automatically. These work by adding a specific percentage to the gained xp amount.

So if a user gains 100xp and their boost is 20%, they will gain 120%. If two or more boosts apply at the same time, they can stack, allowing for very detailed xp rewards.

To get started, head over to the Boosts tab.

![Boosts Tab](https://qwq.sh/80tyj1)

Similar to levelroles, you can then select roles, textchannels and even voicechannels. Simply configure a percentage, select a role or channel and save your changes. Now you're good to go! Boosts work almost instantly after saving.

# Finishing words

Great! You're now able to set up levelroles and boosted textchannels, roles and voicechannels.  
If you have any further questions, feel free to ask on our [Official Discord Server](https://discord.xp-bot.net). 

**To support XP, you can also subscribe to** [**XP Premium**](https://premium.xp-bot.net) **and get exclusive features for your Account and Server!**

Learn how to use levelroles and xp boosts with XP.

# Guide: Announcements
This guide will teach you everything you need to know to master XPs Announcement feature.  

## First of all: What are Announcements?
Announcements allow you to automatically inform your users about reaching a new level in XP.  
By default, announcements are already set up and ready to use. Whenever a user reaches a new level via text chat, the following message is issued in the corresponding channel: 

![](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/791841931486298152/1122797041815396423/image.png)


If that's all you wanted to know - have a nice day!

If you want to customize the design and behavior of this message, keep scrolling!

## Customization
Once you've opened the tab on your servers dashboard, you'll see two panels in front of you.
### Announcement Settings
- **Specific Channel**  
    This option allows you to decide whether the Announcement should be sent into the Text Channel where the user has gained the XP that made them reach a new level.  
    <br/>
    Enabling this option will give you the option to select a specific channel, where Announcements should be printed.  

> _You can also select "Channel Not Set" to disable announcements._

- **Ping Users**  
  By enabling this option, your users will be pinged once they reach a new level.  
  _Essentially making sure, they are not missing out on that very important information!_

### Announcement Message Designer
This Panel allows you to give your Announcement a personal touch.  
By using the provided parameters below the "Message Editor", you can display:
- `{TAG}` The Users Tag 
- `{MNT}` The Users Mention 
- `{OLDLVL}` The Users old level 
- `{LVL}` The Users new level 
- `{CMB}` How many levels the user climbed 

You can also include custom emotes into the message by providing its name and ID.  
For example: ``<:xp_info:818532849598201886>``  

_You can get this by sending your emoji with a `\` in front of it._  

## Wrapping things up
That's it! You should now be able to make your announcements look and feel amazing in your community!  
Tho - as always, please do not hesitate to ask us on our official [Support Server](https://discord.xp-bot.net/) if there are still some unanswered questions.

A quick guide on how to master XPs announcement feature.

## Are you an avid Discord user looking for ways to enhance your experience with XP?
If you are, then you'll be happy to know that there is a way to get lifetime Premium access for free! In this blog post, we'll discuss how you can obtain this exclusive reward and make the most out of your Discord experience.

Now, let's move on to the exciting part – how to get lifetime Premium access for free! On our official [Discord Server](https://discord.xp-bot.net/), we use level roles to reward active users. Recently, we introduced two new rewards – User Premium and 1x Server Premium. Here's how you can obtain these rewards:
<br/><br/>
### User Premium:
To get User Premium, you need to reach Level 100[^1] on the Official XP Server. This means you'll need to be an active member of the server for a while and earn XP by participating in various activities.[^2]  
These activities can range from chatting with other members, joining voice calls, playing games, and more. Once you reach Level 100, you'll automatically receive User Premium as a reward, giving you lifetime access to Discord Premium.  

![](https://qwq.sh/0jor7s)
<br/><br/>
### 1x Server Premium:
To obtain 1x Server Premium, you need to reach Level 150[^1] on the Official XP Server. This reward is similar to User Premium, but it gives you access to Server Premium for one of your server. This means that if you're a server owner, you can use this reward to upgrade your server to Premium and enjoy all the perks that come with it.  

![](https://qwq.sh/hfc2d5)

So, what are you waiting for? Start leveling up on the Official XP Server to get your hands on these exciting rewards!

[^1]: We reserve the right to always change this offer in the future
[^2]: Levels **must not** be reached by abusing bugs

# Guide: Values
In this comprehensive Guide, you will learn everything around values in XP.


> **Want to support XP?**
In order to cover the costs for hosting and developing the Bot, we're providing additional Premium Features for donators.
[Read more](https://premium.xp-bot.net).

# Values in XP
Values can be used to control different XP Modules. XP uses Values for calculations, cooldowns and other useful things. 
We also have Guides for [Moderation Modules](https://xp-bot.net/blog/guide_moderation_modules_1656074394928) and [XP & Game Modules](https://xp-bot.net/blog/guide_xp__game_modules_1655300944128).

# Essential Values
Most important are the **Essential Values** - hence the name.
Available Values are Message XP,  Message Cooldown, Voice XP, Voice Join Cooldown and Reaction XP. Here's what they do:

> **Message XP** <br/>
> This value controls the amount of xp a user will get, when they write a message in your Server. In order for this to work, you will need to enable the Message XP Module.

> **Message Cooldown** <br/>
> With this value, you can control how often xp is given. This value is measured in seconds. Using 60 means, that your Server Members will be able to receive xp once every minute.

> **Voice XP** <br/>
> Similar to Message XP, this value controls how much XP is given per Minute spent in Voicechats. Requires the Voice XP Module.

> **Voice Join Cooldown** <br/>
> This value means the amount of time in seconds a user will need to spent in a Voicechat before receiving xp. This is especially useful to prevent Join/Leave spamming.

> **Reaction XP** <br/>
> With the Reaction XP Module enabled, this value will control the amount of xp given per Reaction. This value cannot be controlled with cooldowns.

# Game Values
XP features a couple of simple Games to earn XP. The following Values depend on the Game Module, so be sure to enable it first.

> **Loot XP** <br/>
> Controls the amount given per `/loot`.

> **Fish XP** <br/>
> Controls the amount given per `/fish`.

> **Roll XP** <br/>
> Controls the amount given per `/roll`.

> **Game Cooldown** <br/>
> Controls the seconds to wait after using one of the Game Commands. Available with [XP Premium](https://xp-bot.net).

> **Trivia XP** <br/>
> This value means the amount of xp given per trivia game.

> **Trivia Cooldown** <br/>
> Similar to all other Cooldowns, this controls the minimum waiting time between two trivia commands.

# Additional Values
> **Maximum Daily XP** <br/>
> With this value, you can set a maximum xp reward for `/daily`. Usually, a user gets `250 * streak in days` xp. If you set a maximum daily xp. They will only get the limit of xp once they reach it.

> **Maximum Level** <br/>
> By default, XP does not limit your levels. If you don't want infinite levels, you can set a maximum level here.

In this quick guide, you learn how to successfully utilise all of XP's Modules in your Discord Community.

> **Want to support XP?**
In order to cover the costs for hosting and developing the Bot, we're providing additional Premium Features for donators.
[Read more](https://premium.xp-bot.net).

# Modules explained
XP is split into a variety of different modules. By enabling one, you're activating a specific part of the Bot. And if you don't want specific features, you can simply turn that module off.

All Modules can be found in your Servers' Settings in the **Modules** Tab.

# The XP Modules

### Message XP
The Message XP Module enables your Community to gain xp by writing messages in your Server. The overall behaviour of this Module can be controlled over the **Values** Tab, where you can set the xp amount per message, cooldowns and more.
We will cover this section of the Dashboard in another guide soon.

### Voice XP
If you want to reward time spent in your Servers' Voicechats, this is the module you're searching for. Just as in the Message XP module, you can configure more options in the **Values** Tab.

### Reaction XP
With this module enabled, your Community can also gain rewards through reactions on messages. If your Community reacts to messages a lot, we recommend keeping this modules' rewards relatively low.

### Ignore AFK
This module is an addition to the Voice XP module: If you have set an AFK Channel on your Discord Server, inactive users will be moved into this voicechat, if they're not interacting with their current voice channel. This comes in handy when you want to prevent AFK farming for xp in your Community as it prevents users from gaining xp in your Servers' AFK Channel.

> **Pro Tip**:
If you set one of the modules' xp rewards to a higher value, your Community will start interacting through this way more.
With this in mind, you can set up voicechat-/message-focused Discord Servers with ease.

# The Moderation Modules

### Autonick
Autonick is one of the most used Modules of XP. With its features, you can show a Users' Level in their Nickname on your Server. This makes it especially easy to view someone's level as well as having a linear design over your Community.
The Autonick Module can be further extended by "Autonick Use Prefix" and "Autonick Show String", which are available with [Server Premium](https://premium.xp-bot.net).

### Leaderboard
Enable or disable the Servers leaderboard.

### Single Rank Role
If you're using Level Roles in your Discord Community, you might also want to enable this Module, where a User will only get the highest available Level Role instead of collecting all available Roles including lower ones.
You can further extend this Module by enabling "Remove Reached Levelroles", which makes it so already reached Level Roles wil also be removed, if someone's xp have been reduced. This extension is available over [Server Premium](https://premium.xp-bot.net).

### User Ranking Override
This Module comes in handy, if someone in your Server disabled their Ranking, which normally would prevent them from earning xp in your Discord Server. By enabling this Module, XP will reward them with xp again, but will still not show them in leaderboards.

### Maximum Level
By default, XP has no maximum Level. If you still want to have one, you can enable this Module. You can set your Servers' Maximum Level over the **Values Tab**.

### Reset User On Leave
Because doing this manually can be a lot of work, we're offering an automation for this for Premium Servers.
The Module automatically resets someone's xp and Level, when they leave your Community.
This Module is only available over [Server Premium](https://premium.xp-bot.net).

### Enable Commands In Threads
XP will always reward xp in Threads, but you might also want to use XPs Commands in these. With this Module, you can view & use XPs Slash Commands in all types of Channels.
This Module is only available over [Server Premium](https://premium.xp-bot.net).


# Game Modules
![Game Modules](https://qwq.sh/phahkt)

### Games
The Games module features commands like `/roll`, `/loot` and `/fish`. By enabling this module, you allow your Community to gain xp by playing these luck based games. You can further configure this module in the **Values** Tab.

### Trivia
Similar to the Games module, this module features the `/trivia` command. By playing this game, you gain xp by correctly answering a variety of questions. As always, you can further configure this module in the **Values** Tab.

# Getting to know RankingCard Badges
Hey, you may have seen a RankingCard with some of these symbols in the past.
