View Full Version : How to hunt the XP ?
Hi everyone, pls share your experience how you hunt the experience :)
Its looks harder after lvl 60, tons of XP needed for leveling up, so what is your story, any suggestions, what you do, pls share your routine here!?
Any "guide" is welcome.

Can't offer any suggestions but a very welcome question! I felt as if I was stuck on 66 for ever & 67 ............. dear knows!

I don’t think there is any quick and easy way otherwise everyone would be doing it.
My production and island has developed now to the point where my constraint is the time I can devote to it. I play for about 2 hrs each day on and off and get a steady 1 mil xp per day on average. I know others do a lot more but I like to not get carried away too much with the game as with past experience, if you over do it then you risk burn out!
I have been in a routine of doing one third thief a day for about 3 months now, which with prem and Mary bags 375k xp. On top of that you get two pandas or intriguing coin side quests which when added to the three daily mini quests bought from merchant with stalks, adds up to around 1 mil. I also do other adv and pvp here and there but by doing one daily 3T it brings in a good and consistent level of xp per day. Some will rightfully suggest that this is a bit of a grind and might get boring, but the flip side of doing the same adv over and over is that you learn all the attacks so don’t have to refer to a guide. Also, accidental losses are lower I find. I have also done ywc and bp campaigns in the same way.

there really isnt any secrets when it comes to the process, you want twice as much experience than you normally get - you do twice as many adventures. Or quit wasting your time on the suboptimal ones.
Year long premium + 6-7 woodcutters a day and you're set up, at least until something like 68-69.

Its natural people are feeling stuck considering that the xp levels follow exponential trend, and for every 3 levels ahead of you you need to gain as much exp as you did for the level you're on now.
66 to 67 is roughly the same as 1 -> 60.
The question is do you want to take the bland motorway of grind or would you prefer to take the rural road of enjoyment.

Bigger question is how did some get to lvl 75 so quickly....
Bigger question is how did some get to lvl 75 so quickly....They been playing for years, not very quick :-) Took me 2 years to get to lvl 71.

1) spending resources accumulated over the years of (then) pointless grind
2) proper economy on the server allowing for buying lootspots for a reasonable price
3) spending alot of time doing adventures in an optimal setup
4) other factors, like being carried by the guild

I reckon I'll stick with plodding along, lol.
Have to fit in some time for sleeping, making food, doing the washing up, running the hoover round, chatting to the missus and family, shopping, and even some rl stuff outside the house such as fishing and going to the pub.
(1000mil - current 140mil)/approx 200k per day = 12 years for me to it lvl 75....woohooo
Adventure, Adventure, Adventure. It's all you can do.
The new buff quests help a lot if you can do them.
360 Premium if you can afford it
I'm at 67 now (barely) and it is tough and requires a lot of adventures to advance. I try to adventure at least once every day in some capacity. I like to have both barracks loaded so I'll do perhaps a 1001 nights, then a fairy tale, then load up both barracks and use a recruitment guide, while that's going on I'll take care of a few scenarios and small adventures off my skill bonus list, then repeat.
The short answer is there is no short answer. You just have to keep grinding out the adventures and any/all bonus quests you can get your hands on. Good luck.
hoping the new updates and the volcano quests help the grind
i stopped at 65 ,,, i just couldnt handle the grind anymore ,,,, i was going insane lol

They dont, they're on average 5-10x less effective in terms of xp vs losses than the current best adventures, so, unless there is an absurd amount of room left for optimization, they wont affect the exp gains.
Really the only thing that can speed up the levelling is if you can get some of the new buildings, you will be able to produce units faster to do more of the old adventures every day.
YWC endlessly until your brain trickles out of your nose and ears. If you have enough mma and skilled CoA it can be done for about 100ms. Do 1T and 3T for variety (ha) when you get them. If you're watching your life go by whilst doing these you might as well buy any LS that have a chance of a mini at the same time.
3xp quests daily. 414k xp a day without setting foot on an adventure.
You need a (cough) 'robust' production to do this, mostly wheat and meat. Max out Epic farm with Evil Queen until you are sick of that too will help with the consumables and it's just been changed to provide 2 recipes instead of 1 which cuts that grind somewhat. Ultimately the FT castle even @ level 6 with constant rainbow will fall just short of the stalks you need to buy all 3 daily. Buy a few or skip one quest every so often.
As others have said though, it's a grind like many online rpg's are. You're either into that or you're not.
Personally now those quests are here, that's a baseline which necessitates no more than logging on about 3 times a day to update them. Adventure if and when i feel like it. Grinding for the sake of it is madness to me - especially for the time being since there's nothing there when you reach it anyway.

Yeah some good point eeyore. There is a lot of grinding to get there so you have to really think about what you would need to do in terms of effort and commitment every day versus the final reward. From past experience of playing other games I know that the journey can be a lot more rewarding than the final goal. Fair play to them, but I wonder if the few lvl 75 players think that it was all worth it ultimately?
Key thing is to make sure you don’t miss out on real life and keep things in perspective...

No, it’s not difficult at all. Just time consuming. If I had the time and inclination to do it I would have hit level 75 but now. But I don’t need to prove it to myself or anyone as I know I could. I have let the game serve me in terms or enjoyment when I want it, rather than being a servant to the game.
not telling you
Able to get your post ^^
:)
I do not like too many repetitions aka Tikki.
ToK is fine no reload, it is send/load/whole army and 500k xp for 2,5h.
So, with this new (Obsidian horseshoes) Zone speed buff 30% can be 1h and 40 min aprox wich is in my time/game ratio.
New buildings!
The Scouting Post is a new culture building which provides buffs with increased XP rewards!
