Reaching Level 100...

[Ladioz]

Is there anyone in the community that was able to reach level 100 in the main walkthrough or is NG+ a must to do that regarding how the XP multiplier works? or it doesn't matter? someone explain please so i don't waste my time.
I would really like to reach this milestone. I tried leveling organically with quests and sidequests and now im exploring the option to farm animals over and over

thank you i appreciate it

I am level 108. But you can get to level 100 without doing NG+. However, there is a issue with the game that some suffer from not doing a NG+ run. It is save game bloat from too many items the player has generated during their play run and can lead to crashes.

Doing a NG+ run, will wipe all the items the player has collected and set it back to a good state. Something to think about. And Beth is aware of it and are working on a solution. But that may be months from now.

Until then, I suggest you keep the number of saves to a small number. Like 6.

You have to boost it somewhere. High level star systems, Strix for example. Shoot the flying creatures with increased XP, rest/companion bonus

There are so many ways to make XP that getting to level 100 isn't really difficult if that is the goal. You can build XP farms with outposts, pick something you want to make build outposts links to get all the resources into one location where you can use the workbench to create them. The more complicated items create more XP per item, but you can easily build reach level 300 doing nothing but creating Adaptable Frames from Fe and Al.

There're are other ways to farm XP beside the big critter hunt, although that can be fun for awhile, especially if your working on challenges that count kills.

Outpost XP farm:

I get a lot of XP from taking on pirate bounty missions.

i was at lvl 106 when i was gone to NG+. But i was forced to, caused by the ID-bug. No more powers could be collected , Vlad didnt gave any new infos because no markers for my last given temple was shown. Maybe one of the next big updates will fix this . But i reached this milestone in my first run^^

Quickest missions are deliveries followed by bounty in space then on planet.
I like doing the on-planet ones even though the subset of POIs is relatively small because you can make so much more money just looting the bodies and selling it all when you're done.

It's possible to get to at least level 10 before you fight anything beyond the tutorial fights at the start of the game. I might have to try doing all the non-combat side quests around New Atlantis again just to see how far it gets me.

Im level 56. Long way to go.... I farmed Fauna from level 48 to 56 lol

Also note that the main quest line gives you the largest quest rewards (that I've seen) and you can do them all they to Unity then not progress to NG, but turn around and return to your originating universe. Doing so unlocks additional temples and side quests that are blocked by the main story. For example, you'll never get the last two quests from Sgt. Yumi if you don't do the UC Terrormorph quest line and you have to proceed through the main quest line to a certain point (past hunter's attack) to unlock the final quest that he offers (a total of 4 as part time security officer). I don't have the rest of the list handy at the moment, though.

Good point. I was given 5000 xp at the end of Revelation. I can't remember if its always that much.

Basic outpost xp farm is >1000xp/5sec.
(depends on how long you need to rest to fill your outpost & how fast you can spam: E click E)
That is with 1xp/craft in a single outpost.
If you get complicated you can get 10x as much.

Legitly level 100 would take forever to reach because the max planet level is 75

Can confirm it's possible to reach level 100 without using NG+

As someone who's gotten 100% achievement completion (including the level 100 Achievement) I can tell you from experience that the two fastest ways to level up are by killing high-level alien fauna, and massacring ships in orbit around inhabited planets.

The former doesn't scale with NG+ at all and is wholly dependent on system level.
The latter scales with NG+ but only up to a point. If you start slaughtering civilian ships in orbit around New Jemison and the UC Security ships that show up are level 30, then you've already hit the cap :P

Level 100 is easy without any farming. Do some missions in between quests. Survey the planets you land on. Scan all planets. A single high level planet should give you at least half a level if you shoot everything in your way.

I did bounties to go from around 50 to 100, much more time efficient than quests.

Build an outpost on a level 75 planet put a bed there and a Mission Board. This gives you higher level bounties and filters out the worthless supply and transport missions. Marry one of your minions to get 5% extra well rested bonus. You also need a powerful ship for ship bounties.

lol pretty sure farming planets for survey data is still a form of farming.
