Levels, stars, skills, weapons, equipment, Talents and Relationship Rank
Blue Archive progression and upgrade costs
A student grows along seven tracks: level, stars, four skills, the Exclusive Weapon, three equipment slots, Talents and Relationship Rank. Each table below is the game's own cost; the upgrade planner adds them up for one student and goal.
Student level
Students level to 90 with Activity Reports. Level 90 takes 1,249,185 EXP in all, about 125 Superior Activity Reports.

Skill levels
The EX Skill goes to level 5 on Tactical Training Blu-rays; the Basic, Enhanced and Sub Skills go to 10 on Tech Notes, each of the student's school. Both also take two artifact sets that differ by student (their pages name them), so the artifact lines here give the tier and amount. EX Skill 5 costs 13,580,000 credits; each other skill at 10 costs 8,812,500.

Secret Tech Notes
Exclusive Weapon
At 5 stars a student unlocks the Exclusive Weapon. Its stars take more Eleph and credits and raise its level cap; its level takes Weapon Parts, and a part of the matching kind counts for more EXP on some weapon types.

The EXP each kind of part gives a weapon type, as a share of the EXP listed above.
Equipment
Each student has three equipment slots. A piece levels on Enhancement Stones up to its tier's cap, then tiers up with blueprints of the next tiers. Every slot costs the same.

Gifts and who likes them
73A gift gives more Relationship EXP the more of a student's favourite tags it shares. The first faces are the students who like it most; the second group likes it too. A gift with neither still gives the base amount.
