Arena XP and Rankings

The CDArmy Arena tracks your contribution to the CDA ecosystem through Experience Points (XP). XP determines your ranking, unlocks features, and drives quarterly payouts.

How you earn XP: - Complete missions: Base XP varies by certification level (M0=50, M1=100, M2=150, M3=250, M4=400, M5=600, Crew=1000) - Complete Institute courses: 25-100 XP per course - Pass certification exams: 50-150 XP per cert - Community contributions: 5-25 XP for wiki edits, forum answers, bug reports - Charlie Recon scans: 10 XP per completed scan

XP Modifiers: - Complexity modifier: Simple (1.0x), Standard (1.25x), Complex (1.5x) - Domain stacking bonus: +10% per additional domain in same engagement - Speed bonus: Up to +15% for completing ahead of estimate - Quality bonus (C2 rating): C2|A=0.5x, C2|B=0.75x, C2|C=1.0x, C2|P=1.5x

Quarterly payouts: At the end of each quarter, 100% of the net profit pool is distributed: - 80% to Crew (split by XP share) - 10% to Mercs (Enlisted and Officer, split by XP share) - 10% to Allies (referral partners)

Your XP share = your XP earned that quarter / total XP earned by your pool. The more you contribute, the larger your share.
