What is the next best efficient way to farm experience without cheats?
Before v 0.1.6, I find that the best way to farm experience for both Man and Yona is from raids. By increasing the raid difficulty and amount of raiders, you can farm exp through spawning them with a horn and cleaning them with a flesh collector after you are done.

With this version, it seems you cannot gain experience if you kill raiders. Maybe this is a bug or a problem on my end of the game? But this annoys me because I still wish to level up my Yona's stats more.

Another thing about raids is that some enemies spawned are not the same levels according to the totem placements. For example, raid level is supposed to be 1000 but several natives spawns on level 1. So even if I gain exp, the exp gained are not that efficient

Is there any good alternatives for exp grinding?

This might sound kinda dum but uh... If you make a Harvest Box or whatever it was, the gathering sticks/herbs job? They'll pretty often find EXP Berries. I forget if they're Small or Medium size, but it's a decent little income if you have several people working on it at once. Plus unlike killing stuff, you can use these on any character you want.

Kidnap a bunch of natives and make them work the berry mines for you! o/

You can boss farm, if you save and load most entities and some bosses reset. For instance the spider boss, werewolf miniboss and baharamet conifrmed reset on save/load so you can kill the boss save and load and do it again. You can do this with help from pets/companions too if your still relatively early game.

You could also save/load to reset camps of natives, high level natives give decent exp. And you can just pick one and grind it 20 times. Sort of similar exp to equivalent level raids but I believe the level ceiling is lower for the natives in the wilds than you can make from raids.

If youre gonna do this method I recommend putting a fast travel flag near the site so you can come and go as needed.

1. use one of the MCs to max build stuff by mining and chopping trees for quick xp
2. lvl up hard melee bash exclusively as well as speed and strength
3. Farm the giant spider boss
4. farm the purple shard monsters in the mines
5. once enough lvl farm the ruins for bigger xp fruits and gold fruit chalices
6. return to the other MC and feed em all the xp fruits / items
7. Invest into other stuff like resource collection survival etc.

You can craft 5 Iron Dolls and one Hell Totem for raids.
One Iron Doll adds 10 more raiders
One Hell Totems raises level 50
Craft many raid horns for leveling.

1: Unlock the Ruins and farm Dead Orbs from the phantom like enemies that appear on the lower floors

1a: I recommend getting the weapon from the last boss in the ruins too, as it will make your life easier later on

2: Go to the trader and trade the Dead Orbs for Jack O Lantern tokens (You could also craft horns, but they take a lot more time IMHO as Dead Orbs are a lot easier to come by than Flesh)

3: Make and deploy various totems to adjust the amount of natives and level of raids, pile on as much difficulty as you currently can handle. Even killing just one high level raid native will net you lots of exp. Even if you die before you finish, you still will come out ahead

3a: If you have the sword from the final boss in the Ruins, you can use its special ability to kite and use guerrilla tactics, this makes it a lot easier to boost your level faster by taking on harder raids at a lower level. Even if you manage to just take down a few before you are overwhelmed, you will get a butt tone of exp.

3b: Take some NPC's with you to power level them.

3c: You can also take a Ruck with you, to loot all the dead body's fast if you want to farm the drop items.

4: I recommend going to the desert before using your tokens to invoke a raid, as there is lots of room to maneuver. Also because you are closer to the top of the map, you will get higher level natives by just being farther north.


Edit: forgot some info
