Introduction

Palworld allows you to customize gameplay multipliers through the server configuration, including the amount of XP players earn. In this guide, you'll learn how to increase the XP rate on your ZAP-Hosting Palworld game server by editing the correct configuration file and applying the changes properly.

Preparation

Before you start, make sure you have access to your Palworld game server via the ZAP-Hosting web interface and have permission to edit the configuration files.

Info

Configuration access required You need access to the server web management to edit configuration files in the Configuration tab (raw text view). If you do not have access to the server management, first check your product access rights in the ZAP-Hosting panel.

Locate the configuration file

To increase XP on your Palworld game server, you need to edit the PalWorldSettings.ini file.

In the ZAP-Hosting game server admin area:

Open your Palworld game server.
Open the Configuration tab (raw text view).
Open the PalWorldSettings.ini file.

This file contains the main gameplay settings used by the Palworld dedicated server, including the XP multiplier.

Edit the XP multiplier

The setting responsible for XP gain is called ExpRate.

Find the correct setting

Open PalWorldSettings.ini and look for the line OptionSettings or the section where gameplay multipliers are defined.

The relevant configuration entry is:

ini

ExpRate=1.000000

Change the value

Adjust the value of ExpRate to the multiplier you want to use.

Config Key	Default Value	Example Value	Effect
`ExpRate`	`1.000000`	`2.000000`	Double XP
`ExpRate`	`1.000000`	`3.000000`	Triple XP

For example, for double XP:

ini

ExpRate=2.000000

For triple XP:

ini

ExpRate=3.000000

Tip

Recommended value format Palworld server settings usually use decimal values like 1.000000 or 2.000000. Using the same format keeps the configuration consistent and easier to read.

Example configuration

Depending on your file content, the setting usually appears within the OptionSettings block. For example:

ini

[/Script/Pal.PalGameWorldSettings]
OptionSettings=(Difficulty=None,DayTimeSpeedRate=1.000000,NightTimeSpeedRate=1.000000,ExpRate=2.000000,PalCaptureRate=1.000000)

If ExpRate is already present, just change the value. If it is missing, add ExpRate=[your_value] inside the existing OptionSettings=(...) block.

Warning

Edit existing OptionSettings block carefully Do not create multiple OptionSettings entries unless your current configuration explicitly requires it. In most cases, you should only edit the existing OptionSettings=(...) line and change the ExpRate value there.

Save and restart the server

After changing the XP multiplier:

Save the changes in PalWorldSettings.ini.
Restart your Palworld game server via the ZAP-Hosting server management.

A restart is necessary because Palworld does not apply this gameplay setting immediately while the server is running.

Action	Required
Save `PalWorldSettings.ini`	Yes
Restart server	Yes
Run additional console commands	No

Info

No additional commands needed Usually, no further in-game or console commands are required for this setting. The new XP rate will apply after the server restarts.

Verify the new XP rate

Once the server is back online, connect and perform an action that grants XP, such as defeating enemies, capturing Pals, or completing normal gameplay activities.

If the XP gain does not change:

Open PalWorldSettings.ini again
Check if ExpRate is present in the OptionSettings block
Make sure the value is correctly written, e.g., 2.000000
Ensure the server was fully restarted after saving

Warning

Avoid invalid configuration syntax If you accidentally remove commas, parentheses, or other values from the OptionSettings=(...) line, the server may ignore the setting or fail to load the configuration correctly. Carefully check the entire line before saving.

Conclusion
