Best way to grind out levels?

[Rotiart]

I feel my major bottleneck right now is my level, is there any way to grind out more EXP faster?

The best way is through combat.

If you are part of a kingdom then you should be facing another kingdom, kingdom with elite troops and lord, elite troops and lord who are worth their weight in XP.

Sadly other than mass butchery there is no other way, at least no other better way.

Bottleneck during seiges. Grab a pike, sit in a corner, and get those exp safely

In native there is only one(there are multiple spears, not pikes).

Grab yourself a Bardiche and just ♥♥♥♥ them up with overheads.

The best bardiche ofc. or a really good two handed sword.

I heard the long great axe was better?

In Native, long great axe can swing and have 50+ damage. but it's slow and not good for close range and on horseback.

Fight battles with high renown------- fewer men fighting with many/strong enemies.
More risk more gain.

It might help to know what level your at. I often hit the city arena to get the low levels. Even later, I usually do a round every time I hit a town, just to get a little more exp and weapon skills.

At higher levels, that goes a lot slower. At that point, most of your leveling comes from seiges where first you have time to head shot opponents on the walls till your ammo runs out, then once everyone charges in, you hack them up either from the second rank with a pole weapon, or just by flanking guys. I usually don't even bring a pole weapon, I just scavange one from the ground. It also helps to bring troops with usable ammo so you can grab more ammo from the ground.

Browse the Internet for screenshots of high level player characters. There are few legit ones over level 40, and fewer still over 50 (mostly in mods that feature level 60+ expiñatas.

You will notice that such characters have high proficiencies in specific weapons - when it is the bow, they probably got it from firing hundreds of arrows at siege defenders, or trolling whole armies solo from horseback. When it is polearm or two handed, it is from slaughtering hundreds at chokepoints, once again in sieges. When it is one handed, who knows... one handed swords are the master of all trades, if you have the power strike, proficiency and player skill to make them deal enough damage to kill in one blow. (In Warband. In real life, light one handed swords simply glance off the armor of a non-disabled opponent, no matter how skilled the user)

Personally, I seldom really go over level 45 until I start sieging multiple fiefs per day. Of course, once you start that, the game is soon over.

Grab a horse and a lance + bow/x-bow (depending on what kind of char you're going for) -> You can solo 20-ish groups of lowly bandits with ease if you kite, but it's bit of a cheesy way of doing things.

It's no secret ranged weapons kill more efficiently than melees: You can kill off dozens of troops before they get to striking distance, whereas melee gets messy if you try 2vs1 (unless you've trained for hundreds of IRL hours).

Make sure YOU kill the enemies and not your army. It's sometimes minimal but it adds up.
