Steam是查找和玩所有您喜爱的 PC 游戏的绝佳平台。如果您经常访问自己或其他人的Steam个人资料，您可能会注意到“等级”部分。Steam创建了这个练级系统，作为一种将平台与您在其上玩的游戏交织在一起的方式。
这个过程非常简单：您通过各种任务获得 XP，主要任务是制作徽章，一旦获得足够的 XP，您就可以升级。当然，您可以遵循一些策略来快速升级。以下是有关如何在Steam上升级的基础知识。
获得 XP 的最快方法：制作徽章(The Quickest Way to Earn XP: Badge Crafting)
当您开始使用Steam时，您只需要 100 XP 即可获得您的第一关。对于 10 级之前的每个后续级别，100 XP 将为您升级。从那时起，您每级需要 200 XP，当您达到 20 级时，需要 300 XP，依此类推。
获得 XP 的最快方法是制作徽章。徽章是通过您的游戏收集交易卡以及购买或交易它们来创建的。您可以通过转到Your Account Name > Badges来查看您当前的所有徽章和交易卡。
为此，您首先需要一款支持获得徽章的游戏。(game)您可以使用带有Steam 集(Steam)换式卡修饰符的过滤器在(Trading Card modifier)Steam搜索中找到这些。一旦你购买并下载了一个，玩它会给你卡片掉落。
您需要一定数量的游戏卡片才能创建游戏的一级徽章。在您玩完游戏并达到最大卡片掉落数量后，您必须购买其余卡片或与他人交易以获得它们。您可以在Marketplace(Marketplace)上购买卡片。
一张卡片通常只需要几美分，所以完成一个徽章并不是很贵。如果您在卡片掉落中收到重复的卡片，您可以将它们出售以在市场(Marketplace)上购买您需要的卡片。
还有助推器包(Booster Packs)。这些是随机给您的，其中包括来自某个徽章套装的三张卡片。要获得这些，您只需要确保您每周至少使用一次 Steam 以保持资格。
升级您的徽章(Upgrading Your Badges)
每个徽章都可以在Steam上多次升级，最多 5 次。因此，只需一场游戏，就有可能获得 500 XP。您可以看到在为多个游戏制作徽章时如何快速累积。
每次制作徽章时，您都会获得三个随机物品。然后，您可以在市场上出售这些物品，并使用这些资金购买更多卡片。或者，如果您有一件似乎没人愿意购买的物品，您可以将其转化为宝石。宝石可以累积，然后用来购买助推器包(Booster Packs)。
对于更受欢迎的游戏，助推器包(Booster Packs)的价格通常约为 1,000 颗宝石，因此可能需要花费一些时间来收集足够的宝石。但如果你有很多额外的、滞销的物品，那可能是值得的。
制作 Steam 销售徽章(Craft Steam Sale Badges)
除了惊人的游戏价格外，Steam销售时间对于升级您的帐户也是非常重要的。这是因为对于您在Steam特卖活动中制作的所有徽章，您都会获得特卖的特定集换式卡片，这些卡片也可以制作成徽章。
这些Steam特卖徽章可以无限升级，因此等待下一次特卖开始实际制作您的常规徽章可能是值得的。然后，您可以将它们尽可能多地 用于Steam销售集换式卡牌。(Steam)
利用这一点可以帮助你极大地提高你的水平。而且，现在是购买更多游戏以获得更多可制作徽章的最佳时机。
其他获得 XP 的方法(Other Ways To Gain XP)
除了制作徽章之外，您还可以通过其他几种方式获得 XP，这些都是在Steam上提升等级的第一步。
首先(First)，有社区(Community)支柱(Pillar)徽章。这是您可以通过在Steam上完成某些任务（例如添加朋友、玩游戏或发布屏幕截图）获得的徽章。完成某些任务后，您将获得 100 XP 的 1 级徽章，您可以将其升级到 2 级，再获得 100 XP。
还有游戏收藏家(Game Collector)徽章。每当您购买一定数量的游戏时，此徽章都会为您提供 XP，假设您购买了Steam商店上的所有游戏。虽然您购买的游戏越多，每次获得的 XP 越少，但这对于您获得的前几款游戏来说是件好事。
您也可以通过拥有Steam帐户一段时间来获得 XP。这是您的服役(Service)年限徽章。每拥有一个帐户，您将获得 50 XP。
升级奖励(Rewards For Leveling Up)
那么，在 Steam 上升级的动机是什么？嗯，实际上你获得的每个级别都有一些很好的好处。
每次升级时，您都会获得五个额外的好友名额。因此，在每个级别中，您都可以将更多朋友添加到您的帐户中。在 10、20、30 和 40 级时，你有 +20% 的几率获得补充包，让你更容易升级。
因此，如果您对所有Steam游戏感到有些厌倦，您总是可以从玩游戏中抽出一些时间来升级您的Steam帐户，并在此过程中获得一些不错的福利。
How To Level Up On Steam
Steam is a great platform for finding and playing all your favorite PC games. If you frequent yours or other’s Steam profiles, you might notice the “Level” section. Steam created this levelling system as a way to intertwine the platform and the games you play on it.
The process is pretty simple: You earn XP through various tasks, the main one being badge crafting, and once you earn enough XP you level up. There are, of course, strategies you can follow in order to level up quickly. Here are the basics on how to level up on Steam.
The Quickest Way to Earn XP: Badge Crafting
When you start out on Steam, all you need is 100 XP to get your first level. For each subsequent level until 10, 100 XP will level you up. From then on, you’ll need 200 XP per level, and when you reach level 20, 300 XP, and so on.
The fastest way to earn XP is crafting badges. Badges are created by collecting trading cards through your games, as well as buying or trading them. You can see all your current badges and trading cards by going to Your Account Name > Badges.
To do this, you’ll first need a game which supports badge earning. You can find these on Steam search by using the filter with the Steam Trading Card modifier. Once you’ve bought and downloaded one, playing it will give you card drops.
You need a certain amount of cards from a game in order to create the game’s level one badge. After you’ve played the game and reached the max amount of card drops, you’ll have to either buy the rest of the cards or trade with others for them. You can buy cards on the Marketplace.
A single card usually only costs a few cents, so it’s not very expensive to complete a badge. And if you received duplicates in your card drops, you can sell them to buy the ones you need on the Marketplace.
There are also Booster Packs. These are given to you randomly, and include three cards from a certain badge’s set. To get these, you just need to make sure you use Steam at least once a week to stay eligible.
Upgrading Your Badges
Each badge has the ability to level up on Steam multiple times, at a max of 5 times. So with just one game, it’s possible to get 500 XP. You can see how this can add up fast when crafting badges for multiple games.
Each time you craft a badge, you get three random items for doing so. You can then sell these items in the marketplace, and use those funds to buy even more cards. Or, if you have an item that nobody seems to want to buy, you have the ability to transform it into gems. Gems can be accumulated and then used to buy Booster Packs.
For more popular games, Booster Packs usually cost around 1,000 gems, so it might take a bit to collect enough gems for that. But if you have a lot of extra, unmarketable items, it may be worth it.
Craft Steam Sale Badges
Besides amazing game prices, Steam sale times are exceptional for leveling up your account. This is because for all badges you craft during a Steam sale event, you are given the sale’s specific trading cards which can also be crafted into a badge.
These Steam sale badges can be upgraded an unlimited amount, so it might be worth it to wait until the next sale comes along to start actually crafting your regular badges. Then, you can put them towards Steam sale trading cards as much as possible.
Taking advantage of this can help you increase your level immensely. And, it’s the perfect time to buy more games to get even more craftable badges.
Other Ways To Gain XP
There are a few other ways you can gain XP besides crafting badges, and these can be great things to do at first to get your level up on Steam.
First of all, there is the Pillar of Community badge. This is a badge you can get by completing certain tasks on Steam, such as adding a friend, playing a game, or posting a screenshot. Once you do some tasks you’ll get the level 1 badge for 100 XP, and you can upgrade it to level 2 for another 100 XP.
There are also Game Collector badges. This badge gives you XP whenever you buy a certain amount of games, hypothetically until you buy every game available on the Steam store. The more games you buy, though, the less XP is awarded each time, but it’s good for the first few games you get.
You can also get XP just by having a Steam account for a certain length of time. This is your Years of Service badge. For every year you have an account, you’ll earn 50 XP.
Rewards For Leveling Up
What’s the incentive, then, for leveling up on Steam? Well, there’s actually some good benefits to every level you gain.
Every time you level up, you get five extra friend slots. So, with each level you’ll be able to add more friends to your account. At level 10, 20, 30, and 40, you get a +20% chance of receiving booster packs, making it even easier for you to move up the ranks.
So if you’re feeling a little burnt out with all your Steam games, you can always take some time away from playing games and do some leveling up on your Steam account instead, and get some nice perks in the process.
