What is the best way to grind exp/iridescent shards?

[Ragnoraok]

I have around 5000 Iridescent Shards at the moment, and want to buy the Legion for 9000 shards. The grind through levels is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tedious.

How can I maximize the amount of exp gained per match so that I can level up faster?

Thanks in advance.

There isn't a real way to "farm them". The EXP you receive after a game is determinated by the emblems you got after the game, which you need for a lvl up to get shards. Some people used to farm them when shards were received by playtime in a trial.

Play survivor, I think.

Since matches are typically faster you can get more xp per hour.

[Ragnoraok]

Wow, so its tied to your performance as measured by the bs emblem system? so I guess it would be easier to get them as a survivor.

[Stoned Stonehead]

The devs mentioned that the amout of xp you get from the emblems is very little compared to what you get from time in the match, so it doesn't really affect you that much.

Really? Didn't know that, it was a blind guess of mine then.

Yeah like an extra 10-20 EXP I think. Most important is still time in match. If I remember correctly it is around 500 for a 10 minute match.

alrighty, good to know that.

The mot I typically receive is around 595 when I play as the Doctor.

Best way to get bloodpoints fast is killer with bbq. The best way to get irridescent shards is playing survivor.

If you manage to get 4x 8000 Bloodpoints (for each category), you should be able to get more than 650 XP points.

[Ragnoraok]

So, should I prioritize extending matches or performing well? If you get more exp the longer the match progresses, then I might as well play as the survivor, hide in lockers all game, and then let the Killer kill me after 15 minutes. Would this strategy work?

Honestly, just play solo. I can join and get through matches faster playing solo. You don’t have to wait for people to ready up/ join. I just bought most of the Christmas sweaters but I had about 53,000 shards before spending them.

Tbh, your perfomance wont change much. Its just the amount of games you play. Finish games as quickly as you can and just go to the next one

Damn, was there an event where you gain extra exp or shards? Thats a lot.

Longer matches give diminishing returns I think. Don't know the exact break points, but at certain times the amount per time in game reduces.
(As an example for the first 5 minutes you get like 1 XP per second, 5-10 only 0.8 XP per second, 10-15 only 0.5 XP per second and after 15 minutes no more XP, but I do not know the excact break points, also might be incorrect because this is not my own testing, rather information I found when researching this, for different calculations like how many shards one gets by comparision to the old system)
