Rise runs the leveling system. Users gain XP for sending messages and spending time in voice channels.

​
How XP works

Messages. A random amount between min_xp_per_message and max_xp_per_message (default 15–25) per message, with a cooldown (default 60s) to prevent spam-farming. Configurable per server. Voice. XP per minute spent in a voice channel. Muted users optionally skip XP (default on). No-XP zones. Block XP in specific channels or for specific roles. Useful for bots, off-topic channels, or staff-only spaces.

​
Levels

The XP-to-level curve uses the industry-standard quadratic formula: level N requires 5 * N² + 50 * N + 100 XP. This means:
  • Level 1: 155 XP
  • Level 5: 475 XP
  • Level 10: 1 100 XP
  • Level 25: 4 475 XP
  • Level 50: 15 100 XP
Up to max_level (default 500). The curve is the same across all Kovra servers — we don’t let servers tune it because it breaks cross-server expectations.

​
Role rewards

From Rise → Rewards, map levels to roles:
LevelRole
5@Active
15@Regular
30@Veteran
50@Elder
Free plan: 3 rewards per server. Premium: 50. Remove previous. Optional per-reward flag — when a user earns a higher reward, the previous one is removed automatically (stackless progression). Default is stacking.

​
Level-up notifications

Four modes:
  • Current channel — post in whichever channel triggered the level-up.
  • Designated channel — always post in one channel (#level-ups).
  • DM — DM the user privately.
  • Disabled — silent level-ups.

​
Leaderboard

Dashboard leaderboard shows top 25 / 100 / 500 by XP. Rank, user, level, XP, message count. Per-server. Public leaderboard page available to all members at rise.kovra.xyz/<guild-id> (Premium gates the “Powered by Kovra” header removal via the Agency add-on).

​
Rank cards

/rank slash command renders a card with the user’s avatar, level, rank, XP progress bar, and message count. Premium: Kovra Custom lets you pick the accent color and replace the “Powered by” footer per server. Agency add-on strips the footer entirely.

​
Voice hubs

Temp voice channels. Create a “hub” voice channel. When a user joins, Desk spins up a private channel for them (auto-deleted when empty). They can rename, set a user limit, and kick others from their own channel. Free: 1 hub per server. Premium: 5.

​
Birthdays

/birthday set MM/DD to opt in. On the day, Rise posts a message in the configured channel and temporarily assigns a @Birthday role. Respects timezones.
