# Leveling

> Reward active members with XP, levels, and role rewards.

<Info>
  This is a **premium feature**. [Upgrade your plan](/getting-started/billing) to access it.
</Info>

Members earn XP by chatting in your server. As they accumulate XP, they level up. You can assign roles at specific levels as rewards, giving active members recognition and access.

## How it works

Each message a member sends earns them a configurable amount of XP. Once they reach enough XP, they level up automatically. You can set up role rewards so members receive specific roles when they hit certain levels.

## Configure leveling

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open leveling settings">
    Go to the [BrewBot Dashboard](https://brewbot.gg) and select your server. Navigate to the **Leveling** page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the XP rate">
    Adjust the XP rate to control how quickly members level up. A higher rate means faster leveling.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set a level-up announcement channel">
    Choose a channel where the bot posts a message each time a member levels up.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add level roles">
    Assign roles to specific levels. For example, you could give the "Regular" role at Level 5.
  </Step>
</Steps>
