Complete journey steps and kill things. Lots of things. All of the things. You can Google XP payouts for certain enemies and some give a good amount of XP while being fairly easy to kill even at low-ish levels.

Craft stuff, too. Practically everything you do gives some XP.

The Lemurian city in the SE jungle. Gorillas (use the shaleback moveset which is easy to avoid and give hide for heavy armor) and apemonsters give good XP without being a big threat

loot a good pickaxe from chests in the north and farm mushrooms and lotus flowers.

Get yourself a good pick, you can usually find an acheronian picks rummaging through the chests in Sepermeru. Go to the swamp L7 and hit every purple lotus with the pick. You can also go to the Mounds of the Dead and use the pick on the Crimson Lotuses there. Amazing XP, and you get resources too.

Yep, gorillas and grey apes are really easy to kill and give decent XP.

You sure the pick still works on plants? They changed things around recently and it seems that most plants can only be harvested with the sickle or by hand. Axe, pick, pickaxe doesn't seem to work on bushes anymore, for example.

It did work couple of days ago. I haven't got any updates since then. Should work.

Edit: I tested it just now, both pick and sickle works on lotuses and give the same amount of flowers.

If you can manage it, using a pick on black ice in the Frost Tower gives insane xp. If you go down the stairs from the entrance and go behind them on each side there are tons of black ice nodes and there are also several chests that likely will have more picks in them along with other black ice goodies.

- warmaker dungeon gives great exp, kill everything (not the arena champion)
- vulcano dungeon too
- nameless city, lots of undead

with good equiped thralls non of the above should be a problem

[free_meecrob]

Huh, so then use your pick on the black lotuses in the Forgotten City of Xel-Ha too. If you're having trouble levelling up then cruise the river by the desert attacking small camps until you get a falcata and then go to the Lemurian city of Xel-Ha. There's flotsam in the area to get supply material bundles, shoebills for feathers/eggs and along with the thick leather from gorillas you can build yourself up pretty well as you level, even if you don't have thralls or don't want to go after the (semi)human opponents for their gear

Interesting, and thanks for testing it out. I tried a pick on several plants and it did nothing but I haven't tried it on the lotus. It's such a strange change that we can't use a hatchet or a pick on a bush anymore but we can use a pick on a lotus flower. "Funcom Logic" at its best, I suppose, just like eggs decaying way faster than they should, the current loot tables including a ridiculous amount of decorative items, combat being a complete mess, ridiculous changes to attributes and perks, the poorly designed journey system, the bazaar and the battle pass that no one wanted, dozens of 5+ year old bugs that haven't been fixed yet, etc.

go to the north (temple of frost is a great spot) and mine alot of black ice, i got level 60 in like an hour or two on official server. much faster with high tier pickaxes but youll still get alot with steel which isnt too hard to get, and youll need either warm armor or spicy food/drink

youll also need a decent weapon to fight the frost giants or youll have to avoid them and watch your encumbrance

I remember when rushing the old journey steps was a good way to hit level 20 in a short amount of time. :)

I really miss the old journey system - but not for that reason. I miss it because having to constantly switch journeys is annoying. If I discovered and fully explored the Dregs but didn't have that journey active it won't give me credit so I have to go back there to do it again. It's ridiculous.

Yep, they could have, and should have, left it alone.

What they ought to have done was make a few basic, and completely optional, tutorials for new players that have NO REWARD other than "now you know how to do this thing." There should be NO reward items for completing journey steps that magically appear in our bags, and NO crafting unlocks should be hidden behind journey steps. All crafting unlocks should be earned in game by spending knowledge points or by finding the relevant item, NPC, etc.
