Leveling Dashboard UI Guide
The Leveling system gamifies your server by tracking member activity and awarding XP points. This comprehensive guide covers XP settings, role rewards, customizing rank cards, managing leaderboards, achievements, quests, and creating a rewarding community experience.
Dashboard Tabs Overview
The Leveling dashboard is organized into six main tabs:
Settings Tab
Configure base XP values, cooldowns, multipliers, and excluded channels/roles.
Role Rewards Tab
Map levels to roles. Automatically assign roles when members reach specific levels.
Rank Cards Tab
Customize the visual rank card design, colors, fonts, and layout for your community.
Leaderboard Tab
Configure leaderboard settings, reset intervals, and public access controls.
Achievements Tab Premium
Create multi-tier achievements across 9 categories with 5 rarity levels. Awards unlock automatically as members progress.
Quests Tab Premium
Design daily, weekly, and seasonal quests with 21 objective types, multi-objective logic, rewards, chains, and announcements.
Settings Tab - XP Configuration
Configure how members earn XP and how the system behaves:
Basic XP Settings
Configure the core XP mechanics:
Base XP Per Message
Use the slider to set how much XP each message earns (default: 5-25 XP). Higher values mean faster progression.
XP Cooldown (dropdown)
Prevent spam farming by setting a cooldown between XP-earning messages:
- • 5 seconds (fastest progression)
- • 10 seconds (balanced, recommended)
- • 30 seconds (slower, prevents spam)
- • 1 minute (very restrictive)
Level Up Multiplier
Set the XP required per level progression (linear vs exponential). Example: multiplier 1.5 means each level requires 50% more XP than previous.
Enable Streaks (toggle)
When enabled, members gain bonus XP for consecutive days of activity. Encourages daily engagement.
XP Multipliers
Create XP bonus zones for activity encouragement:
Click "Add Multiplier Channel" to create channels where members earn more XP:
Setup Steps:
- 1. Select a channel (SearchableSelect) - commonly #general, #discussion, #voice-chat
- 2. Enter multiplier value (e.g., 2.0 = double XP, 1.5 = 50% bonus)
- 3. Optional: Set reason/label (e.g., "Voice Channel Bonus")
- 4. Click "Save Multiplier"
Use Cases: Encourage voice chat (2x), reward long conversations (1.5x), boost new channel adoption
Excluded Channels & Roles
Prevent XP farming and spam by excluding certain channels and roles:
Excluded Channels (SearchableSelect multi-select)
Channels where messages don't earn XP. Common exclusions:
- • #bot-commands (prevent command spam farming)
- • #announcements (prevent reaction farming)
- • #rules (prevent low-effort reads)
- • #spam (designated spam channel)
Excluded Roles (SearchableSelect multi-select)
Roles whose messages don't earn XP. Common exclusions:
- • Bots (prevent bot-to-bot XP cycling)
- • Muted role (punishment prevention)
- • Service roles (webhooks, integrations)
Click the field, type to search channels/roles, and select multiple to exclude. Click X on chips to deselect.
XP Gain Methods

- •Text Messages (toggle): Default enabled. Base XP per message.

Role Rewards Tab - Level-Based Roles
Automatically assign roles when members reach specific levels:
Overview of Role Rewards
The Role Rewards section displays a table of level-to-role mappings. Each row shows:
- • Level: The level that triggers the reward
- • Role: The role assigned at that level
- • Status: Active/Inactive (toggle on/off)
- • Actions: Edit or delete the reward
Adding Role Rewards
Click "Add Role Reward" to create a new level-based reward:
- 1.Level Number (number input): Enter the level threshold (e.g., 10, 25, 50)

- 3.Reward Type (dropdown): Choose between Stack (add role) or Replace (remove previous level role)
- 4.Notify Member (toggle): Send congratulations DM when role is awarded
- 5.Click "Save Reward"
Stack vs Replace
Choose how roles accumulate as members level up:
Stack Mode
Members keep all level roles. Level 50 member has both "Level 25" and "Level 50" roles. Visual progression, cluttered roles.
Replace Mode
Members keep only the highest level role. Level 50 member loses "Level 25" role. Clean role list, single visual tier.
Editing & Deleting Rewards
In the rewards table, click the edit icon to modify a reward's level or role. Click delete to remove it. Existing role assignments to members are not reversed if you delete a reward.

Complete Leveling Setup Workflow
Here's a typical sequence to set up a complete leveling system:
- 1.Go to Settings tab and configure base XP values (10-20 per message is typical)
- 2.Add XP multiplier channels (e.g., 2x for voice chat)
- 3.Exclude channels where XP shouldn't apply (commands, announcements)
- 4.Go to Role Rewards and add level-to-role mappings (10→Level 10, 25→Level 25, etc.)
- 5.Customize rank cards in the Rank Cards tab with your server colors
- 6.Configure leaderboard settings and announcement channel
- 7.Set up achievements in the Achievements tab (or use the defaults)
- 8.Create daily/weekly quests in the Quests tab for ongoing engagement
- 9.Test with a trial member - have them send messages and check their rank
- 10.Adjust multipliers and cooldowns based on progression feel
Key Considerations
- • SearchableSelect fields are typeable - type to find roles and channels
- • Green buttons always have BLACK text for accessibility
- • Base XP values around 15 per message provide moderate progression
- • Use role rewards sparingly - too many roles become meaningless
- • Test rank card design with different Discord themes
- • Monitor progression rates - adjust multiplier if progression feels too fast/slow
- • Seasonal resets create renewed engagement and fairness
