部门 Points, also known as DP, are an important Mechanic in 异度神剑X. They are earned by performing various BLADE-related activities, such as completing 任务, defeating 敌人, planting 数据探针, or 收集 Collectibles. When enough DP are earned, Cross's BLADE Level will increase.
The amount of DP earned is greater when the activity is related to Cross's current 部门. For example, 开拓部 are responsible for planting 数据探针, and will earn more DP than 其它 部门 do for that activity.
When playing online, 部门 Points are also used to determine the daily global ranking of each 部门, with all players in a 部门 contributing to their division's score.
It takes 141,500 DP to reach BLADE Lv.10. However, the game does not show cumulative DP totals; instead it shows the amount of DP earned since reaching the current level and the amount needed to reach the next level.
