How To Level Up Fast

Once Human’s leveling system is simple and XP-based — earn enough experience points, and you’ll level up. Sure, main and side missions are the bread and butter of leveling up, and taking down enemies helps too, but let’s be real — you’re here for the quick routes. So, these are the tricks that will have you leveling fast.

Complete Weekly Commissions

Weekly Commissions are time-limited quests that offer substantial XP rewards – up to tens of thousands at once. Make sure to check your quest log regularly and prioritize completing them. You can access them by holding tab and selecting V.

You can easily gain five levels or more each time you complete these Weekly Commissions.

Use Your Digby Boy Deviant

Another effective strategy is to harness the power of the The Digby Boy Deviant. This passive resource collector is invaluable for gathering ore, which can be smelted for significant XP rewards. If you haven't acquired a Digby Boy yet, our comprehensive guide can assist you in obtaining one.

Collect Saltwater And Cook Salt

Cooking Salt is another excellent method as crafting it in large amounts yields a decent amount of experience. To gather Salt, head to the ocean to collect saltwater by holding 'G' on your keyboard, then set up stoves to convert it. The more stoves you have, the faster you can cook salt.

We suggest setting up your base near the Ocean for this leveling strategy, as it allows you to gather seawater much more efficiently.

Collect Wood And Craft Charcoal

Similarly, crafting Charcoalis a reliable way to level up. Wood is abundant in the game, and by chopping down trees and using furnaces to transform the wood into Charcoal, you can secure a steady stream of XP.

You can easily get a large amount of wood from cutting down the giant trees. For example, the Bald Cypress tree located at coordinates (5382, -6506).

Defeat The Arachsiam Boss On Repeat

Finally, farming the Mirage Monolith dungeon, which contains one of the early-game bosses, is a great way to level up. Defeating its boss, Arachsiam, repeatedly can give you a significant boost in experience. We have a full guide on how to successfully defeat this boss.
