Increase xp gain beyond 300%?

[HMIMH]

What file/line/setting do I have to tweak to go beyond this limit on xp for singleplayer? Thanks so much!

You'll shoot yourself in the foot if you do that. Don't. A better choice may be to give yourself extra perk points with each level. That's an easy .xml fix. If you level up TOO fast, you'll wind up having a horrible hoard while not being ready for that hoard.

So, to give yourself more perk points per level:

Find the 7 Days to Die folder in your Steam Folder.... Steam/steamapps/common/7 Days to Die

Inside that folder choose Data/Config When you open the Config file, look for the file called 'progression'. Right click on the progression file and 'Open With..' Notepad.

You will be looking at the xml files for progression in the game. Do NOT change numbers in this folder unless you are willing to accept the consequences for what you do, AND, any time the game updates, this file will revert to its original. If you do change your perk progression, you'll need to change it again if there is an update.

So, at the very top, in the first large grouping under <progression> look for the line that states <skill_points_per_level="1"> and change that number to 2... or whatever you want. You will find, after playing with this, that going over 2 will pretty much ruin the fun of the game. But, everyone plays as they wish. Further down in that grouping is yet another line, exactly the same, and you change that number to match.

THEN: at the top of the Notepad... use File SAVE!!! and, next time you level, you will get 'X' number of perk points rather than just 1.

Very this. Raising your exp gain to even 300% is more than likely to screw you rather than help you. If you're just finding it frustrating to gain skill points very slowly, do what Khissi says and increase the perks per level instead; Increase it to whatever you find reasonable..and I would suggest to lower your exp gain rate back to 100% while you're at it.

Thank you so much guys, this did the trick really. I did something before the answer. The file xgui_menu had the 25,50,100,200 and 300, so I added a 1000% option, and yeah, the gamestage freaked out. Your solution is much better.
The reason i'm doing this is that I have very little time to play and i'd like to enjoy each version to the full, with short days :)
