Levels -
Start represents the total number of points required to attain the level.
Length represents the additional number of points to earn to reach the next level.
Now click on the Quick Edit Points
Although you have the option to manually enter the points for each level, we suggest utilizing the "Quick edit points" widget to assign points to each level automatically.
You can choose between three different ways for the calculation. Since it creates an atmosphere where early levels are not too challenging but get harder as a student advances, we advocate the "Snowballing" method. Let's review each technique.
Equal
The easiest approach is this one. The exact same amount of points are needed to pass each level. Because of this, it is highly predictable for both teachers and students. Unless the number of levels is very limited and the motivation comes more from gaining points than from leveling up, we would advise against utilizing this strategy. Since every level is the same, using this strategy can eliminate the sense of accomplishment that comes with attaining a goal.
Increasing
With this approach, the level of difficulty climbs linearly between each level. Put simply, it takes the same amount of work as the previous level plus a little extra to get to the next one. Given that the points are predictable, this system might be simpler for a teacher to implement.
Snowballing
This approach also progressively raises the amount of difficulty between each level, beginning with little increments and working their way up to a much higher level. A level's points are multiplied by the percentage of its predecessor. With this approach, students can move through the levels more rapidly at first, then more slowly and with greater effort. For a higher number of levels, this approach might not be the best choice because the points might rise too quickly.
-Enter the name description and you can also customize the levelled up pop up message
-Badge to Award
-When a learner reaches a level, you have the option to give them a Moodle badge. Expand the level and choose the badge from the selection to choose it. You can't pick every badge; more information is provided below.
Creating compatible badges
A few criteria need to be considered while creating badges that XP can reward. It is necessary to enable the "Manually issued by role" criterion, and it cannot be mixed with any other criterion. Access to the badge needs to be enabled when the criteria have been set up.
The badge will appear in the level settings if it has been properly set and you are authorized to award it.
Appearance – You can customize the icons if the leavels
15.
Points - The first condition is set to ANY of the conditions are true, and the second condition is set to NONE of the criteria are true. This is how you start adding conditions. Next, change the top condition to ALL of the conditions are true. This instructs the plugin that in order for the grade awards to be applied, both sets of requirements need to be met.
16. Now click on the Import.
17. For this the file format will be in the CSV must contain at the very least the columns user and points. A third column message can also be present, but is not required.

Since XP assigns points based on the activities of its users, some users might be tempted to take advantage of the system by repeatedly executing fast or similar behaviors. XP has a built-in security feature called "Cheat guard" to address this.
It's critical that you comprehend how the cheat guard stops abuses and rewards proper behavior.
All that the cheat guard does is verify if the student is authorized to receive credit for a particular activity. If they aren't, the action is entirely disregarded. Certain acts are one-time events, thus if the cheat guard disregards the action, the student will never again have the opportunity to receive a reward for that particular activity.
19. Here you can customize that how this block will appear at the student end and after that click on the "
Save changes" button.
