How to level up fast solo--official servers

[Orvman]

So I searched online for this to see if anyone else had ideas but they all seemed silly--like go out to beaches and punch dodos... or tame something. While these things can "help" level someone up, I decided to post what I've found helps level my character up the fastest. Please post any ideas you may have that I may have missed/forgotten:

1) First, it helps to play on a 2x weekend. XP will go up 2x as quickly. Also, it will help if you find an explorer note right before crafting/hunting to boost XP for a short while.

2) Make narcotics

3) Build rafts (super XP)

4) Build grinder (expensive but worth it) and start making fiber and thatch in grinder. XP goes up really fast with this trick.

Of course, theres always the obvios "go kill a high level wild animal" like a rex or bronto but besides just playing the game nomally, these ideas help me level up the fastest on my own.

Being in a tribe will help boost your XP as the other tribe members work around you and you get a bonus from them--however, this post was mainly for solo playing.

Please post any ideas you may have as well

Explorer notes.

Mass sparkpowder leads to mass gunpowder leads to mass ammo.
This is how i help my tribesman level up from 1 to 50 in 1 afternoon.

Yep. Was in #1 but I agree. Just getting explorer notes gives XP.

It is a great train for say. U wont keep most of the mats as they are always changing. This makes u lesser of a target as well. Less to steel.

Also depending on the level, stone foundations (same goes for thatch and wood) give a lot of Exp, so just clearing out the beach of resources to chain build them is a rather good way of getting the first unlocks going.

For the bit higher levels :

Breed rexes, hatch, kill the babies. Great xp :)

If your goal is to level fast, then my suggestion is to combine several previous suggestions. Set up multiple mortars, ready to craft in each narcotic, sparkpowder, gunpowder and anything else you have use for. Go out and hit an explorer note or two, since what they actually do is buff xp gained for a time. Then go back and hit start on all the stuff you had que’d up and watch the Xperia fly. This is particularly useful for later levels when the grind curve starts to kick in around 75 or so.

Great ideas all :)

fastest way is still explorer notes.. go to the wiki for the map and spawn in those areas.. hunt for it and don't care if you die.. got to level 70 on official server in just 2 hours, sure helps when you do it in the weekend.. just a matter of knowing where they are and just make a run for it

So.. become a poor homeless guy, just wearing your undies and with absolutely nothing and still be level 80

oh.. and remember.. this takes different approaches to your own levels.. when going the construction way it helps to put levels in weight.. when going the explorer way, put your points in speed.. at 130 speed you can outrun most things

Not sure how you can accomplish anything solo on official. Either you get spawnkilled without end in PVP, or nothing spawns because the entire map is foundation-blocked in PVE.

"fast" when you have super dinos to farm metal and hide, obviously LOL

But if you are new without nothing, the best way still xplore notes and making thatch foundations, narcotics and building to approach the bonus

if you have tribe member you can have more xp so fast

When I used to play on Official Harcore server I always found Narcotics was the best way to level back up after death, A decent size greenhouse full of NarcoBerries, Mortar and pestles and a full supply of Spoilt meat and your back up to Lv 60 in no time.
Plus .. you only need a half decent Theriz to farm the mats for rafts ...so make these while the XP from the Narco's are ticking over for Super Leveling.

These are all great ideas from everyone.
