Lvl 15 Hunter XP Farm Tips?

[no one]

Hi all,

Does anyone know a good spot where I can farm XP? I was following a guide that said to farm elder boars in I7. While I didn't see boars in I7, there were some nearby (west of the garages in that area).

While my Coyote rifle can penetrate the elder boar armor, I always have trouble with the boars disappearing behind hills when they run up to me, and I end being unable to kill them before they get to me. Can anyone recommend a good spot/vantage point in the area? Or another boar farm? I have tried farming the Bog Monsters in the Big Village map but I prefer farming boars.

Thanks!

what server are you on

If you are on USA-2, I am a lvl 26 hunter, I can show you a few spots

lizards near korovie village. grab a m5 and lots of chem antidote and medkits and go to work. u can snipe them if u want, but theres a roaming fire anomoly that might "interfere" with your plans. i think those are better xp than level 17 boars iirc

also, you will want to farm mobs that make you heal and use antidotes. that will level your medical skill which u will really need when u make it to the swamps in a few levels. the higher your medical xp the more u heal yourself with kits

Yeah absolutely don't do what they just told you. I mean you can do that but you will spend hours trying to get single level.

The thing with grinding is how fast you want to level up and how much resources are you willing to spend. I will give you few options I think are the best (And since I got 2 characters to level 35 and 1 to 28 I think I know a little bit about how to level up fast)

1. Bog Belchers

Definitely the fastest exp right now are belchers. You can gather about 15-20 of them at once and kill them one by one for about 1-2k exp each. They are tough and you'll need alot of ammo but they are in groups of 3, theres alot of them and they respawn quickly. The only big con is you either glitch them by standing on top of a branch where they can't hit you or you'll need literally tons of bandages and chemical antidotes.

2. Bears / Bear Cave

Bear cave is 6-8k exp every 3 minutes. You can hunt more bears in the northen part of swamp but its alot of running and you have to watch out for NPC camp.


3. Lizards at E5-8

Three high level lizards and 1 "boss" lizard with very short(~1 min) respawn timer. Hide behind trees so they won't spit on you. Their health is low so you should be able to kill them before they reach you. Each regular lizard is about 1,5k exp and 3,5k exp for the boss lizard.


4. Killing bosses (My personal favorite)

Pretty simple. Kill Symbiant and Cave Spider boss every hour for almost 150k exp. You probably won't be able to kill Lv. 6 spider boss being Lvl. 15 Hunter but symbiant should be relatively easy. Stack 1h of antidotes, bring about 40 bandages and 1k ammo (You should be using Marauder assault rifle if you want to kill him quickly). At level 15 he might do quite a bit of damage to you so you should have Fried Deer Meat just in case(instantly heals you for 200 with no cd). If you want a guide on how to kill symbiant look in guide section. Killing Symbiant will reward you with 72k exp for Lvl. 2 and ~40k for Lvl. 1


Thats it. I typed it right now in a hurry so there might be grammatical errors. If you don't understand parts of it or have questions just ask I'll try to answer them


Also every other grinding spot is bad and subpar to what I mentioned.. Like lizards(other then E5-8), spider cave, boars or hornets are waste of time and you shouldn't be grinding them to level up. The only exception to that would be if you can't follow any of the points presented above.

Thanks for all the help offers.

I actually found a spot that allowed me to snipe the boars and get them down to low-enough health before they get too close. 1k-2k xp has been very nice, however boar spawns are somewhat low.

For point 3:

Do I absolutely need AP ammo to kill the miniboss lizard? Or can I use HP ammo for all of them?

Thanks for the detailed reply!

To add on to point 3:

Tried killing elder lizard (with AP) after waiting a few minutes for lizards to spawn. Died in one bite and dealt 0 damage, lol. I may take a look at the symbiant next.

[Kamili's Dad Gaming]

yea, those things he mentioned are all too high for you smdh. you might be able to do bogs but at 15 i wouldnt. If you do try bogs u better carry an assault rifle and forget about making money as you will be spending all u made on ammo med packs and repair kits. I would do either 15+ lizards or sand spiders in k7-7. If you play the game straight up as the devs intended u wont be able to survive those things he mentioned. forget about bears, forget about the spider boss, i hear u can do the simbiant boss but im not sure. there are other ways that people use those high level mobs to power level themselves, but i dont do them so i couldnt tell u how. there are also youtube vids on how to beat alot of the areas in the game.

[Kamili's Dad Gaming]

a level 15 hunter will NOT be able to kill bears without finding some kind of glitch especially at the bear cave. that will be a lot of running there for nothing plus the small simbiots right outside that cave will ♥♥♥♥ your day(and your face)

[Gishler]

Like I said: The things I mentioned require diffrent levels of "commitment". While killing symbiant at Lvl. 15 is not the easiest thing to do its totally doable. Some goes for spider boss. I said there is no way you'll kill Lv. 6 spider boss but you can very easily kill Lvl. 3, 4 and probably 5.

Also yeah you can die to mobs and kinda "feed" them that way so they will yield more exp.

Elder lizards( not retarded lizard and lizard boss) are hands down the best for this if he want to grind xp casually while making money, bosses are burst xp and money and at lvl 15, not the best of options.

OP: Try kuzmicth lizard ponds, and bring some vodka, craft awl stimulator, and sell them to medic in town. edit:( for greater profit, he buys it at a higher price) but you can sell them to anyone if you lazy.
Once you got good cash, you can start your more expensive xp grind, and by that time, you will have gained a couple lvl so Bob's suggestions will be viable, cuz these are great tips, but not where you are at the moment.

boars is not that good xp, heavy low cost loot, not very good.

That sounds like an interesting plan. Question, is Awl the only stimulator craftable at this point in time?

[Gishler]

I hate grinding that's why I like to make it as fast as possible, the fact that you are a little casual fuccboi whom likes griding rats for 20h because they make good money is not my problem. I mentioned several diffrent ways of grinding and I pretty clearly explained that eg. bog belchers will require either glitching or tons of supplies, which doesn't change the fact that they are pretty much the best exp/h right now and it doesn't change the fact that he wanted to know how to farm xp, not money.

I also very clearly said to do symbiant and spider boss every 1h which makes it pretty obvious its "burst exp", which doesn't make it bad at all. Maybe he doesn't have time to farm your ♥♥♥♥♥♥ awl simulator for hours and would rather log in every hour to get 150k exp.

Also the lizards at E5-8 are dogśhit easy to kill, require very little ammo and make you literally hundreds of thousands of tokens. They boss has kinda of an "armor" you have to break before you start doing damage to him. To avoid getting 1 shoted you kite them around a tree.

im actually doing the lizards at kuzmitch on my lvl 13 merc. I went there when i was level 7 and quickly got to 10 on the small lizards, then switched to the bigger ones across the river. doing the repeatable stim mission the entire time.
