There are many ways for New World  players to earn XP, from intense PvP battles to relaxing professions in crafting. One of the best things aboutNew World is that players have the freedom to level up at whatever pace they choose. Although just about every activity will net XP, some players will be glad to know there are a few methods to gain more experience than others.

While still bearing in mind that New World is a "grindy" MMORPG, players can take advantage of the faster ways to rack up experience points. Even though participating in New World's PvP is possibly one of the best ways to acquire XP (particularly for weapon mastery), players who use the following tips will certainly see an increase in XP gain to level up their character.

To earn more XP and level up faster inNew World, players must first make sure they are always in a settlement before logging out. Similar to the Rested Bonus in Final Fantasy 14's sanctuaries,New Worldalso grants a Rested XP Bonus for players who are in a town when exiting the game. Although it may not seem like much, doing quests or activities that reward high amounts of XP while the rested buff is active makes a huge difference in one's initial rate of experience gain. While this buff is still active, players should rush over to their faction and complete three faction quests to receive the bonus from the Daily Bonuses Available 0/3. In this daily activity, the first three faction quests that a player completes within a day will provide additional XP. This can be combined with the Rested XP Bonus for maximum XP.

How to Earn XP Quickly in New World

New World Earn More XP Town Projects

Another way to obtain XP quickly inNew World is by completing quests on the Town Projects Board. A good strategy would be to complete Town Projects within a settlement with which the player has a high reputation. The higher the standing a player has with a territory, the higher XP gain bonus they will receive when fulfilling projects. Moreover, this reputation bonus applies to all XP-gaining activities within the specific region. Some of the Town Projects are incredibly simple to complete. For a small yet easy XP reward, players can buy the needed resources or items from the marketplace to finish some of the board's minor quests. However, players should have amassed a good amount of gold in New World before exploiting this strategy.

The last three ways to earn fast XP in New World are through the main campaign quests, PvP, and crafting. First, the main storyline quests inNew Worldis likely the easiest way to earn a good portion of experience points. Next, PvP is the number one way to level up a character's weapon mastery. Of course, not everyNew World player may wish to fight in PvP battles. However, those looking to rapidly level their weapon mastery, plus gain a significant amount of character XP, should frequently participate in PvP. Finally, crafting is a great way to obtain useful materials while earning a fair amount of XP. Like PvP, crafting isn't for everyone, but those looking to level up fast should give crafting a try. After all, crafting helps free up inventory space inNew World.
