What exactly is XP used for? I’m fiddled around with all my skills hoping I could level them up somehow. Haven’t exactly found a way to use it either

XP is automatically deducted to train your skills, which happens when you use them. In other words make use of your skills to make them go up in rank, but keep in mind that you must have XP at the time for it to happen. No XP = no skill advancement.

If you tab over to your skills in the @ menu, you can use spacebar to disable any skills you don’t want to spend XP on.X
