Combat is increased by killing monsters. Each increase in Combat Level adds one or more [[Crafting]] or [[Cooking]] recipes and may add HP ([[health]] points) to the player's health meter.
Experience level is increased immediately upon slaying a monster, but the "level up" window doesn't appear until the character (or all characters in [[multiplayer]]) go to sleep.
