đSetting Up Leveling Multipliers
Learn how to boost XP rewards in specific channels or for members with certain roles, shaping your server's leveling experience.
Why Would You Need This?
With Lurkr you are in complete control how fast or slow each one of your members can gain levels in your server! Multipliers are the extremely in-depth solution to rewarding certain roles or channels, punishing others, setting pace of the entire leveling system and more!

Guide
Make sure you have leveling set up
Before following this guide, please make sure that you have correctly set up leveling in your server already. If you need guidance in doing so, please follow our guide here:
đInitial Leveling SetupUnderstanding Multipliers
Multipliers might take some getting used to, but don't worry! That's what this guide is for! Multipliers essentially take the amount of XP a user would normal receive for a valid message, and multiply it by however much the multiplier is set to. For example if a user gains 34 XP for one message, but the server has a global multiplier of x1.5, they will actually receive 51 XP.
However, multipliers can also be set below 1, meaning a multiplier of x0.5 is valid, but that does signify a 50% XP gain, but rather a 50% XP loss. Any multiplier that is above 1 will give more XP, and any multiplier that is below 1 will take away XP.
If you prefer to think in percentages; a multiplier of x1.5 equals a 150% XP gain, and a multiplier of x3.4 equals a 340% XP gain.
Understanding the Hierarchy
When you have more than one multiplier currently active, a hierarchy is established to decide which multiplier is used in which circumstance. Role multiplier hierarchy is a bit different and will be explained in this section.
Lets say that we have a global multiplier of x1.1, a channel multiplier of x1.5 in #Channel-A, a channel multiplier of x0.75 in #Channel-B and another #Channel-C with no multiplier:
Multiplier
Application
x1.1
Global
x1.5
#Channel-A
x0.75
#Channel-B
None
#Channel-C
Based on this, we now want to know what multiplier will be used in each channel.
If we talk in #Channel-A, the multiplier of #Channel-A will be used, since it is the highest one currently applicable.
If we talk in #Channel-B, the global multiplier will be used, since the channel multiplier is lower than the global one.
If we talk in #Channel-C, the global multiplier will be used, since there is no channel multiplier set at all.
Important to Remember!
Whenever applicable, the highest multiplier will always be used!
Setting Global Multipliers
Global multipliers, as the name suggests, apply to the entire server regardless of role, channel, permissions, etc. They can be useful when you want to regulate the total leveling gain on your server, for example if you find that your members are gaining levels a bit too quickly, introducing a global multiplier that is less than 1 will lower the amount of levels gained globally. To add a global multiplier, you can type the following command:
A modal-box will then appear, in which you can then enter the global multiplier you want to assign.
Using Global Multipliers you can change the leveling curve to match that of other popular bots! *Assuming Default Leveling Options & Multipliers AmariBot âĸ x0.09 Polaris âĸ x1.1 Arcane âĸ Approx. Equal MEE6 âĸ x0.32
Setting Channel Multipliers
Channel multipliers allow you to set multipliers on a per-channel basis.
They also let you set multiple channels to the same multiplier, or set different multipliers for several channels!
To add a channel multiplier, you can type the following command. In the values option, you can enter as many channels as your current server plan will allow. You can check the limits on the Patreon Perks page!
A modal-box will then appear, in which you can then enter the channel multiplier you want to assign.
Setting Role Multipliers
Role multipliers work in much the same way as channel multipliers.
You can assign numerous roles to the same multiplier, or create different multipliers for different roles!
To add a role multiplier, you can type the following command. In the values option, you can enter as many channels as your current server plan will allow. You can check the limits on the Patreon Perks page!
A modal-box will then appear, in which you can then enter the role multiplier you want to assign.
Changing Role Multiplier Hierarchy
If you haven't read how the regular multiplier hierarchy works, please read that section first.
Role hierarchy by default is managed in the exact same way as all other multipliers; the highest applicable multiplier will be used regardless of the role hierarchy.
However, you can change the prioritization of which multiplier is used by toggling it in the configuration.
If you do so, the highest role that a user has that also has a multiplier attached to it will be used, even if a lower ranking role has a higher multiplier.
Let's Show An Example
Because this feature might be a little too complex to explain in words, here we have two role multipliers setups.
This first setup has the checkmark on the higher multiplier even though it is lower in terms of the role hierarchy. This is the default behaviour!
This second setup has the checkmark on the higher role even though it has a lower multplier compared to the other. This is the behaviour when you toggle this feature.
Be Careful!
This only applies to situations where one user has 2 roles at the same time that both have a multiplier applied to them!
To toggle role hierarchy prioritization, you can type the following command:
Toggling Vote Boosting Leveling
Voting helps us get Lurkr seen by lots more people! To help incentivize people to vote for Lurkr we give everyone who voted a 12 hour multiplier that is applied globally across all servers.
This boost is 20%, so the equivalent of a 1.2x Multiplier.
Unlike other bots, it is completely free to turn this boost off for you, however if you like what we're doing and can't support us directly with Lurkr Max or Lurkr Ultimate, we would appreciate you leaving this featured turned on!
To toggle vote boosting leveling, you can type the following command:
Final Words
And that's it! You've successfully learned how to use leveling Multipliers in Lurkr!
