XP Waste is a cozy idle skilling game built around one simple, satisfying goal: level every skill to 99. Tap a big, thematic training object to earn experience — chop a tree, cast a line, throw a punch. As a skill grows, its training method upgrades into something new and more powerful, and every tap is worth more. Set skills to train passively, bank Energy for explosive Supercharge bursts, and chase the ultimate flex: max level in all 23 skills. TRAIN 23 SKILLS TO 99 Four categories — Combat, Production, Utility, and Gathering — each with its own thematic training. Every skill uses an authentic, hard-earned experience curve where reaching 99 is a real achievement. Maxing all of them is the true endgame. METHODS THAT EVOLVE Training is never static. Each skill has six tiers of thematic progression that unlock as you level, and the on-screen object visibly upgrades as you climb — a small, frequent reward for every milestone. EVERY SKILL MAKES YOU STRONGER Leveling isn't just a number. Each of the 23 skills grants a permanent, account-wide perk that grows the more you train it. No two perks do the same thing — one widens your biggest hits, another deepens your Energy reserves, another even auto-taps for you — so there's always a reason to spread your taps. TRAIN WHILE YOU'RE AWAY Assign skills to AFK slots and they earn experience passively — while the app is open and while it's closed. Come back to a welcome-back summary of everything your skills earned, and every level-up, while you were gone. Unlock more slots as your total level climbs. ENERGY & SUPERCHARGE Tapping has a chance to spark Energy. Bank enough and Supercharge a skill for a burst of multiplied XP per tap. In a hurry? An Energy Cell fills your bar instantly so you can burst right now. DAILY BOOST Activate a daily boost to multiply all experience for a few minutes — stack it with a Supercharge for an enormous payoff. Certain skills make your boosts stronger and last longer. RAIDS, DIARIES & XP LAMPS There's more to chase than taps. Run daily themed Raids for each skill group and work through Diary tasks as you hit milestones. Clear them to bank XP Lamps — one-time rewards you spend on any skill for an instant burst of progress. BUILT FOR IPHONE & IPAD A clean, native, universal experience designed to look and play great on every device, in every orientation on iPad. Play your way — grind combat, master the gathering skills, or spread your taps wide. It's your account. Push all 23 skills to 99, reach the max total level, and earn your place among the maxed. XP Waste is free to play. Optional token packs can speed up your bursts, but everything can be earned through play. No ads, no account required, and no internet connection needed — your progress lives on your device.
