A Simple Guide to Levelling Each Skill as Fast as Possible

If you benefit from this guide, GIVE ME A RATING! Or I'll feed you to a pack of Angry Peccary Alphas!

Sprinting

- Just sprint, no real way to level it faster

Strength

- Run around in circles while encumbered (Not the bright red over-encumbered)
- Or shake vending machines over and over

Throwing

- Easiest way so far, is to just throw nets over and over and over. Pickup, repeat. Tedious and a bit slow, but works.
- If you are clever enough to setup a macro, you can throw and pickup a net over and over quite easily. Can basically AFK it to max level.

Sneaking

- Easy, just go into settings and set crouch as a toggle. Then find a pest that spawns but doesn't wander, and just afk behind them while crouched.
- I used the one in the office area near the security robot spawn, I just removed the desk. Just don't get caught out by the robot at night...

Blunt Melee

- Just melee stuff with blunt weapons. However, smashing stuff like computers and corpses helps.

Sharp Melee

- Just melee stuff with sharp weapons. However, smashing stuff like computers and corpses helps.

Accuracy

- Main problem is ammo. Crossbow is normally not too bad, just remember to pickup EVERY pen you ever see to make more bolts. Flathill can be re-run pretty quickly for ~10 pens (80 bolts) per run. Portal worlds do reset.
- If you farm enough pistol ammo, it does give more EXP, but is hard to get alot.

Getting pistol ammo is easier with this:

Reloading

- Actually really easy. Just open inventory, right-click your weapon and select unload magazine, and reload. REPEAT. Super easy with a pistol.

Fortitude

- Fastest way by far is to goto Offices level 2, as per photo, and place a bed undernearth the hanging electrical cable. Set spawn, die alot, gain EXP. Can literally AFK it to max Fortitude in around 30-40mins.
- Make sure you've killed the Exos/Peccary that spawns there, then come back with a completely empty inventory (or place some storage nearby for your gear)

Crafting

- Make LOTS of Throwing Nets, and then scrap em into paper. Turn paper back into cloth, make more. Make sure you loot plenty of wood, paper, and cloth. Pretty easy.

Construction

- Just take apart every thing you see. Every chair, desk, bench, pot plant.

First Aid

- Fastest way I've seen so far, is to make ALOT of splints, and find/create a spot where you can jump off quickly, heal your leg, get back up again, and jump off again. Have a bed nearby.

Cooking

- Cook lots of pest meat, or all cook all the fish you get from fishing. Have 2-3 (or more) cooking stoves, and lots of frying pans.

Agriculture

- Either make a large farm (which needs alot of water), or....
- Repeatedly goto spots where alot of wild Antewheat grows

Far Garden
Throughout the area

Manufacturing West
Shipping, lower area

Cascade Laboratories
Level 2, in the Wildlife Pens

The Mycofields
Throughout the area

Fishing

- No real quick way, just fish. Alot. But totally keep the fish, you'll want to cook it for cooking exp. The gym pool is a great spot to fish.

Final Notes

If you know a faster way to level any of these, let me know and I'll adjust the guide.

[Those Special Eyes]

One place I've found that's good for leveling sneak is on the ledge of the roof where you find the first power cell in Flathill, just outside the fence. Drink some bland pea soup, toggle crouch, and crawl along the ledge while matching the movements of the Composer on the street below. Easy XP, just don't fall.

[Gov McFly]

Pen throwing knives seem quickest way (can throw at the dummy targets in the firing range - just stand next to it and throw and pick up). They are good against early creatures and convenient when you get the automatic pick ups. Zombies are good since it's like one shot one kill.
Sneaking seems to be flathills - first building to the left of the giant wanderer you can crouch at the back left corner (portal to you right) and you get much faster sneak xp since you get increased sneak on a moving creature (just out of range of detection but still in range for xp). Much faster/better spots when you get the sneak armor as well.

[Chemical Cat]

Just came across this guide, should update Reloading. you can just hold R dont move mouse and let go of R after the radial window shows to unload your gun, then just reload and repeat.

[Wang]

For agriculture, you can go to the hydro sector and just harvest all the murkweed, you get a ton of exp that way while you loot the resevoir growths

[Vdexsus]

Throwing
This was my most wanted to level up skill, and as it stands right now, most complicated. For those who wants to level up it as me, I suggest using some clicker with 1 second intervals and toggle it on with throwing nets in hands. when you level up skill to 5 level, you'll be able to automatically pickup thrown nets, so it becomes just a time question. You could also pick Paratheoretical Physicist class to boost your exp gained as well as getting Decathlon Competitor and Wrinkly Brainmeat traits + eat some brains. That will total in +115% exp gained on throw.

[JustRaccoon]

I've noticed that the portal to the "Far Garden"(I think it's the first portal you come across) has 2 Exor Monk spawns. One is always idle(the first one) and is best for leveling up sneaking. Pair it with Bland Pea Soup and you could level it up a little faster.

No need to worry about the second Exor Monk because he won't go near the first one.

[Red]

I've been using "Egg" plants to farm cooking xp. You gain 4 per harvest and if you've got alot of planter plots to work with you can farm xp with little effort other than patience.

The Hydroplant residential stove is very nice for this since it has 16 hobs.

[Enlightened]

With montese SMG accuracy grows VERY fast!

[Shigbeard]

Further for Reloading, some of the guns reload faster than others. I think it's honestly a toss-up between the Pistol and the Makeshift Crossbow, the crossbow might be faster though.

Vaultdweller's suggestion is good too, you can literally turn your brain off while you walk from place to place spam reloading. I'm already max level and even still I occasionally reload my shotgun over and over.

[Vault]

For grinding reload xp, it's much faster to hold R and then release. This will briefly bring up the ammo selection wheel and your toon will perform an instant reload. Once reload is complete, just hold and release R again for half a second
