Tips Getting XP Faster?

[Almea]

I'm level 21, still feel like I have a lot left to do, and feel like there are skills I should of gotten, but didn't. I still haven't even found a dungeon. Anyway. Any tips on getting XP faster? I've found it very slow now. Tips on getting more money would be good too, since right now my money just comes from forging coins.

"Faster" is relative. Mining Rods are good for getting XP passively (meaning you don't have to do anything to gain the XP. It is technically slower than just mining everything around, but you have to click less to get the XP.

Ballistics will unlock a tower that attacks enemies in a similar way to the Mining Rods, mining resources. To craft these, you will also have to unlock arrow crafting.
You can also get a skill that makes slain enemies to drop gold coins.

Finally, you can use the economy skills to get more coins. Banks generate coins passively, but you have to interact with them to collect the coins. You can get more coins by picking up another skill and placing banks adjacent to each other.

Also, you can buy the marketplace skill. This should allow you to buy and sell items, allowing you to receive items you don't already have access to, but more importantly: You can sell items that you don't need and get gold coins in exchange for them. Even seaweed and berries etc...

If you haven't explored the magic tab yet you can not only get +20% skill on exp gain, but also unlock the inscription table, which gives you a book that also boosts exp gain, also the magic part has shrines, which gives you timed buffs, don't forget to activate the obelisks aswell

The fastest way to get a big dump of xp at once, in my opinion, would be to drink a Wisdom Draught and follow it up with some Sage Scroll spam. Even at level 50 those scrolls have a massive chunk of XP. The skill that grants XP for using potions and scrolls can help, but probably not as much as those two combined.

The Shrine buff "Industrious" can help raise your XP farily quickly if you have a lot of structures constantly working during its duration. I think it can stack with the obelisk buff that grants XP for crafts as well.

However, after playing through the game I think I've decided on the best method of leveling. While its an intentional mechanic in the game, it can make things 'really' easy so I'll put it in a spoiler. To get the most use out of it, it does require some prep and items however:


Spirit Orbs, just force level yourself. Once you have max Stamina and and maybe a bar of hearts and some damage, just use them to level. You can get more from a Sacrificial Altar with the Summoning skill unlocked.

If you want to craft tons of these you'll need the Necro Rod, the Magic Scepter, Ballista/Drones, and a stockpile of Purple Pigment or a means to make a lot of it.

The Necro Rod can sometimes spawn the Big Skeletons that drop the Great Skulls making it easy to farm them next to a ballista or some drones. Having the Magic Scepter means you can use the rod nonstop and rack up a lot of skulls quickly. You'll just need a means of getting a lot of purple pigment, I'd suggest stockpiling all the flowers you come across or setting up mining rods in the Haunted/Frozen lands.

Honestly, you could probably start using the spirit orbs earlier on to boost yourself quickly (though I would wait until at least level 20 or so, since leveling is much faster early on). The game isn't too difficult at the moment so you can get by with lower stats (though I would suggest maxing stamina at least) and the benefit from getting certain skills outweighs combat stats imo. It may even put you in a position to make your own orbs relatively sooner in the game.

As for money, I found bombs were really cheap to make at a cauldron so I just made a ton and sold them to the market. They might need to tweak their selling price, though this was after I had a lot of economy skills so maybe that had an impact on their selling price.

Also, if you need both xp and money, it can be more efficient to

sacrifice those orbs at doom shrine, it will grant either 3 levels at once or loot worth 20-30k per orb.

I didn't even bother with buffing stats and traded all orbs for xp and money while having 2 hearts and half of stamina bar, to buy all the land on the map and get cool skills

Get the skill that grants you exp from selling. Build light houses in the desert, dig up thousands of sand per tile, sell for millions of coins and dozens of levels at a time. If you get the shovel fully upgraded you can also dig up stacks of thousands of plastic, ore and gems which lets you breeze through the last tier of content as well.

Just make like 30 factories and constantly have them making iron, bricks, coal, gold or whatever and you will level up in no time. Put down mining rods and mines in most of the areas. You can use the sage scrolls and shrines for chance at xp bonus, but I had no problem reaching level 65 in the first 8-10 hours without them.

Going for the Gluttony perk Early on as possible in the lower left is a great help I find. You constantly have to eat so having it reward you for doing so adds up. Getting the Calciverous perk and shoveling rocks in your mouth means you never worry for food either.

Towards the end, around 35 I had Markets and Shrines unlocked. I'd buy a Wisdom potion and sage scrolls any time they popped up in my markets and then for shrines wait til the Scholar perk comes up, us the potion and then use all the scrolls you collected and it will net you a large chunk of the xp bar, most of the time it was 2 or 3 scrolls a level up and every time I got the perk I'd get 2-3 levels.

Also when the markets have spirit orbs buy them. Around 55 I had so many I had already maxed out my energy and health and used the rest to do those last few levels.
