Best way to level up 70+ ?
What gives you a lot of exp and what is easy to do.


1. Killing deathworms sounds very difficult. Being out there in the desert sand you have guys running around with Wyverns trying to kill you thinking your taking loot boxes.

2. The swamp cave seems do able but you need very strong stuff. Would a Doedon do well?
What is a very strong option?

3. How much exp is it to simply just kill stuff with a crossbow in the water cave, center?

4. Is therz fiber making pants seems good

5. I don't have an industrial forge. Is it a whole ton of exp?

TLDR: JUST PLAY THE GAME.

Seriously just play, build, hunt, tame and you will get there pretty fast. You can can like your first 20-30 levels just harvesting and building a first base pretty fast. Since youll start with thacth then wood, then likely stone, maybe some metal parts. You will essentially rebuild parts of your base 3 to 4 times just upgrading the type. Plus fences etc. Build rafts. Tame a rex and run around killing stuff. Tame a higher rex, repeat. Breed them etc.

to your specifics,

1. Horrible in my opinion especially in SP or crowded servers. due to how the game works. You will be running around more than getting xp. They take a lot to kill. Take time to find, others may get them before you. They despawn pretty easy once they are "spawned" by anynone. Very Inefficient,e specially solo, decent to power level dinos with a partner though.

2. My main cave runners tend to be wolves, sabres. High bred ones you can wreck most caves if you are smart, save some of the more obivous dangers in some of them. (many different takes on what to use in caves) If you are talking about the swamp cave im thinking of, you need a gas mask and a good one, or else multiples to be able to do the whole cave long enough for it to be worth it. And they are resource hogs, and use some rare stuff to make/repair.

3. Depends on the level and typeof dino i believe, pretty sure there is an xp breakdown somewhere online, may be outdated. Again inefficient as it will take a lot of time, and resources (arrows) to kill like that, at least anything worth xp enough to kill.

4. IDK quite what you mean. Making anything is good, especially newer engrams you just unlocked, meaning progress from fiber to leather etc. But really those items (gear) tend to take more resources than its worth to waste to level up. Building is better just making building parts, build your base, upgrade it, improve it, change it (as we all do) you will be suprised how much you get just doing this. Since stats/quality is not affected by level or how much you craft, most gear items are a waste of resources to spam craft to level up.

5. Well its a lot of xp to get to the level to make it. if you are on a server you can get anyone you trust that has the engram to make you one. It just makes metal/gas faster thats all. It takes a TON of resources to make. Its really not about getting the level to make as much as getting the metal and poly to make one.

Spam craft things you need, arrows, tranqs, narcs, stims, food/kibble etc.(you need this stuff always anyways stock up) and seriously just build and tame dinos. Use the tames to do more. Tame a decent rex and just run around killing stuff, get a really good rex and you can kill most all alpha carnos and a raptors without worry (depends on skill and stats of rex)

The more difficult levels to get were like 95 and up i think, thats where it slowed down. But to get to 70 is like nothing really, even on officials. Plus if you know 2x event or whatever is coming, just harvest up during the week and then build everything when the boost is active.

There really is no one best way to get to any level. There are certain things as you progress, like stims and narcs, tranqs and rafts and others that give good xp when you first open them up. And up until you get to high enough levels and well set up any way, you will be running around getting what you need, food, water, resources etc enough you will constantly be gaining xp doing these things.

Also join a tribe and work with a partner, you will get bonus xp from whatever you both do when you are near to each other.

Tame a wood, berry, stone thatch gatherer dinos and just play and you will get there fast.

Hunts Spinos, they give you a big amount of XP, lvl 1 = 120 / lvl 120 = 1548, if u found many of them u can get alot of XP :) but at all like the guy above me, just play the game, its hard to lvl fast, hunting alphas, spinos and other stuff to gain exp, craft nacos (tons of them), there so many ways to gain the lvls :)

I find that it's easy to level by creating a lot of Narcotics since it's low resource requirement.
Also, the narcotics then can be used for other things which also give XP.

Damn that's dark. xD
I just imagine you sitting there as that little guy is hatching, sitting there with your sickle;
"Hey there little guy!" *shink"

Industrial grinder can get xp pretty fast. The more people you have to help you fuel it the faster you'll level. Can kill 2 birds with one stone if you want to make gunpowder by grinding stone to flint and using any remaining stone to make sparkpowder. You can level up level 70-85ish pretty quickly using just the grinder. If you really want to just focus on levelling, you can level up around 1-2 hours between 90-100 while an evolution event is on if you do nothing else but keep crafting things in the grinder. Better still, make several of them and you can power level and cut down the time a lot. But if you want to do that then as before you will want a couple of people helping by bringing wood and/or stone to you.
