I am stuck at level 1 with 3000/3000 XM.
I can see XM but I can’t collect it anymore. Is there anything mandatory to be able to level up?
Answer
In order to level up you need to gather AP not XM (XM is energy, AP – experience), you should see an octagonal progress bar in the upper left corner.
In order to get AP you need to deploy resonators, blow up enemy resonators, build links, etc. Here are the exact numbers for each action:
Placing a resonator 125 AP
Destroying a resonator 75 AP
Placing the first resonator on a portal 500 AP
Placing the eighth resonator on a portal 250 AP
Updating another agents resonator 65 AP
Updating your own resonator 0 AP
LINKS:
Creating a link 313 AP
Destroying a link 187 AP
FIELDS:
Creating a control field 1250 AP
Destroying a control field 750 AP
OTHER:
Applying a portal shield 150 AP
Hacking an enemy portal 100 AP
Recharging a portal 10 AP
