# Progression - FOLK Wiki

> Levels, the Island Journal, daily quests and badges.

Your Folks get stronger by winning fights. You grow by following the Island Journal, doing daily quests and earning a good reputation.

## Folk levels

- Your Folk earns XP when it beats a wild Folk. A Folk of its own level or higher pays the most.
- Beating a Folk below your Folk's level gives no coins, and less XP: half for each level it is below you.
- A win against a Folk at your Folk's level or higher pays 5 coins plus 7 for each level of the Folk you beat.
- Folks stop at level 20. Every level makes their stats grow, except Luck, which stays the same.
- Levelling up heals your Folk to full. In a dungeon, that heal waits until you're back out.
- Out in the world, a Folk that hasn't fought for 5 seconds heals back to full within 60 seconds. In dungeons it doesn't.

Each Folk's page shows its stats at level 1 and 20. See [Folkopedia](https://folk.lol/wiki/folks).

## Temperament

Every Folk you summon has a temperament that never changes. It raises one stat and lowers another by the same percentage. How much depends on its strength, shown here with Brash: 6% for Mildly Brash, 10% for Brash and 14% for Fiercely Brash.

- **Brash**: Hits harder, but takes more damage.
- **Brutish**: Hits harder, but is easier to hit.
- **Fey**: Stronger special attacks, but takes more damage.
- **Pensive**: Stronger special attacks, but is easier to hit.
- **Stoic**: Takes less damage, but is easier to hit.
- **Skittish**: Harder to hit, but takes more damage.

## Energy

- Walking is free, but below 2,000 energy you walk slower the less you have. Opening the dig board costs 75 energy, each fishing cast 15, collecting water 6 and collecting sand 9.
- Out of energy you can't dig, fish or collect water or sand. Some dishes give energy back.
- You get 1 energy back every 5 seconds, up to 5,000. It refills even while you are away.
