There’s a lot to do in Ashes of Creation. Finding the best ways to earn experience points will help you level up faster and unlock better gear more quickly. Getting to level 25 can be a long grind, but with some tips, it becomes easier.
We’ll share the best places to farm experience by fighting monsters, along with other options if those areas are busy. Here’s everything you need to know to save time and reach the highest level faster.
Complete Every Quest and Commission You Can
Quests are a good early way to earn experience, but they aren’t the most efficient method. Still, they help you explore the area and do multiple tasks at once. Completing quests provides one-time large chunks of experience, so do them whenever it’s convenient.
The main source of experience for leveling up comes from Artisan Commissions. These are rewards for completing harvesting tasks and other daily chores you already do to improve your equipment. You can get and turn in commissions at different settlement boards across Verra, so keep an eye out for them.
Use Experience Scrolls
Using scrolls that grant Adventuring Experience can significantly boost the experience gained from both one-time and repeatable quests. These scrolls multiply the amount of experience you get but require time to craft and won’t last forever.
Best Places to Farm Experience
Your primary way to earn experience later in the game will be by fighting numerous monsters. As you level up, move to new regions to find mobs appropriate for your current level, which will give you the most experience.
Here’s a quick guide for solo play on where to farm:
| Mob Name | Level Range | Where to Find |
|---|---|---|
| Timid Webweaver | 1-5 | Outside the camp gate to the north at Samia’s Hope |
| Gravehide Creeper, Timid Deer, Ravens, Agitated Grem, Gravehide Flayers | 6-10 | South of Briarmoor Farms |
| Highwaymen, Wolves | 10-15+ | In forests and around campsites |
Note: Watch the color of the enemies’ names. Blue and green are easier or lower than you, while orange and higher will challenge you more.
Additional Tips
Grouping with other players can increase the experience you gain and speed up your leveling process, making it more efficient to reach higher levels.
