The 12 live Early Access skills are listed. Language is excluded — it is a baby/toddler skill with no documented XP formula (babies cap at level 4).
Your XP plan
Levels 1 → 10: leaving level L costs 10 + 8 × (L − 1) XP.
| Level | XP to leave level |
|---|---|
| Level 1 | 10 |
| Level 2 | 18 |
| Level 3 | 26 |
| Level 4 | 34 |
| Level 5 | 42 |
| Level 6 | 50 |
| Level 7 | 58 |
| Level 8 | 66 |
| Level 9 | 74 |
Time estimates default to 4 XP per practice hour — a community-tool figure from decompiled game data, not an official number. Set the rate you actually observe in your game.
Unverified: whether practice XP per in-game day has a cap, and how mood, lifestyles or parent knowledge change the rate. No bonuses are modelled here — enter an effective rate to absorb them.
Worked examples
Three jumps, already computed
Real numbers from the verified curve at the default 4 XP/hour and 2 practice hours per day — no JavaScript needed. Open the calculator above to change any assumption.
Guitar: level 1 → 10
Nine level-ups from first chord to double digits: 10 + 18 + 26 + 34 + 42 + 50 + 58 + 66 + 74 XP. At 4 XP/hour that is about 95 practice hours — 48 in-game days at 2 hours a day.
Cooking: level 10 → 20
The back half of the curve costs three times the front: leaving levels 10 to 19 costs 82 up to 154 XP each. Roughly 295 practice hours, or 148 in-game days at 2 hours a day.
Biology: level 14 → 15
One mid-curve level-up: 10 + 8 × 13 = 114 XP. Under 29 practice hours at 4 XP/hour — about 15 in-game days at 2 hours a day.
Reference
Paralives skill XP chart (levels 1–20)
Every Early Access skill that uses the standard curve levels on the same table: leaving level L costs 10 + 8 × (L − 1) XP, so level 1→2 costs 10 XP and level 19→20 costs 154 XP.
| Level | XP to leave level | Total XP through level |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10 | 10 |
| 2 | 18 | 28 |

| 5 | 42 | 130 |
| 6 | 50 | 180 |

The same curve serves every standard skill through level 20. Sources: wiki.gg skill infoboxes, cross-checked against two community tools built on decompiled game data (wikily.gg with xpToNext(L) = 10 + 8 × (L − 1), and paraliveswiki.com's skills calculator — both match level for level). Single-level differences of ±1 XP are reading noise; the wiki does not state whether a figure covers the level itself or the step out of it.
