XP, levels & feats
OpenCauldron tracks your activity as you create. Every generation earns XP, XP raises your level, and milestones earn you feats. It is a light layer on top of your work — nothing here gates day-to-day creating, with one exception (video, covered below). You can see all of it on your profile.
Earning XP
Section titled “Earning XP”XP is added automatically when a generation finishes. You never claim it.
How much you earn depends on what you made:
| What you made | XP |
|---|---|
| An image with a top-tier model (such as Flux 2 Pro, Imagen, Ideogram, Recraft) | 10 XP |
| An image with a faster, lighter model | 5 XP |
| A video up to 5 seconds | 25 XP |
| A video longer than 5 seconds | 50 XP |
If you use the Auto model picker, OpenCauldron chooses a model for you and you earn the XP for whatever it picks. See Models for how model selection works.
Feats also grant XP — see Feats below.
Levels
Section titled “Levels”Your total XP sets your level. There are eight levels, each with its own title:
| Level | Title | XP to reach |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Apprentice | 0 |
| 2 | Herbalist | 50 |
| 3 | Alchemist | 150 |
| 4 | Enchanter | 400 |
| 5 | Warlock | 800 |
| 6 | Archmage | 1,500 |
| 7 | Mythweaver | 3,000 |
| 8 | Elder | 6,000 |
Level 8 (Elder) is the top. Your profile shows a ring around your level number with how much XP is left to the next one, or Max level once you reach Elder.
Video opens up at level 3
Section titled “Video opens up at level 3”Video generation opens up when you reach level 3, Alchemist (150 XP). Until then, you create images. Once you reach level 3, video tools appear automatically — there is nothing to switch on. Your profile shows a Video Access marker next to your name once it is available.
This is the only capability tied to a level. Everything else — brands, campaigns, the library, review — is available from day one.
Feats are badges for reaching a milestone. Like XP, they are awarded automatically the moment you meet the condition; there is nothing to claim. Most feats also grant a one-time XP bonus.
Your profile shows all feats in a grid. Ones you have earned are highlighted and show when you earned them; the rest stay dimmed with a lock until you reach them.
Creating
Section titled “Creating”| Feat | How to earn it | XP |
|---|---|---|
| First Brew | Make your first creation | +10 XP |
| Centaur | Make 100 creations | +50 XP |
| Hydra | Make 1,000 creations | +100 XP |
| Ranger | Use 5 or more different image models | +25 XP |
Streaks
Section titled “Streaks”| Feat | How to earn it | XP |
|---|---|---|
| Kindling | Keep a 7-day creation streak | +25 XP |
| Inferno | Keep a 30-day creation streak | +100 XP |
A streak counts the run of consecutive days on which you made at least one creation. Make something every day to keep it going; miss a full day and it resets. Your current streak shows next to your name on your profile while it is active.
| Feat | How to earn it | XP |
|---|---|---|
| Illusionist | Make your first video | +20 XP |
| Conjurer | Make 50 videos | +50 XP |
Both need video, which opens up at level 3.
Brand work
Section titled “Brand work”| Feat | How to earn it | XP |
|---|---|---|
| Sigil | Tag 50 or more assets to a brand | +25 XP |
If you are already organizing work into brands, this one arrives on its own.
Granted feats
Section titled “Granted feats”A few feats are given rather than earned through activity. They carry no XP and mark a role or history:
| Feat | What it means |
|---|---|
| Early Adopter | Joined in the first month |
| Admin | A studio administrator |
| Founder | The studio’s creator and owner |
Your profile
Section titled “Your profile”Everything above shows on your profile, alongside your stats:
- Your level ring, title, and total XP
- Generations — your all-time count of creations
- Favorite — the model you use most
- Member since and your current streak
- Your feats and a grid of your Recent Creations
Level-ups and feats also post to your studio’s Activity feed, so teammates see when you climb a level or earn a feat. See Your profile for the full page.
Leaderboard
Section titled “Leaderboard”If your studio has the Leaderboard turned on, it ranks the top creators across three boards:
| Board | What it ranks | Window |
|---|---|---|
| Top Generators | Number of creations made | This month |
| Most Feats | Total feats earned | All time |
| Highest XP | Total XP | All time |
Each name links to that person’s profile. Top Generators starts fresh at the beginning of each month; the other two are all-time.
XP and feats are about momentum, not gatekeeping — they sit alongside the limits that govern how much you can create. For those, see Usage & limits.
