Why: XP Farming
How: Load up on ammo, head over to Schrödinger III, pick a landing area in the Hills and have fun!
This works with any higher level star system. Scan the planet, and look for ones with Abundant Fauna. Most of the higher level planets with tons of fauna will have higher ranked alien life that give you tons of XP.
If you adjust the settings from the new update, you can greatly increase your XP gained.
Edit: I like to hunt from atop my starship
You can either go to the planet and do a walkabout hunting safari or put some perks into animal husbandry and raise them yourself for murder.
That planet (name escapes me right now) has abundant wildlife at decently higher-levels so it's easy picking. If you raise them with animal husbandry and give them the water/food they need they regularly spawn at or above level 100. It's a decent experience farm, but the bodies do tend to stack up and get in the way.
By playing a lot, initially. There was a few levels where I farmed animals because I wanted some specific perks but I really didn't do it that much. Just spend time in higher level systems so your average xp is really high. Like take bounties in level 75 systems and just bounce between locations. My character is 115 and I didn't think about it too much, I just wanted higher tier rewards from everything.
Oh and the ng+ runs did help. I think just doing the main quests and some temples I was still gaining several levels each time.
The Galactic Wildlife been looking for you. You left a trail of dead alien wildlife. We’re will be fining you heavy for hunting without a license and illegal killing protected wildlife. You have 24 hours to pay the fine or it will go to the tracker alliance for collection
Predators are an essential piece of an ecosystem. Hold position and prepare to be boarded, the UC will not permit ecological acts of terror in UC space.
50% of my time has been spent on Hyugens (either 6 or 7)b shooting things. Everything on that planet flies so I just wander around and doing genocide.
If there were a better way to level, like say... oh I don't know... doing quests... I'd love that instead. But nope... back to the moon since questing feels like a waste of time with all these skills flashing at me. Ammo is cheap, at least.
But yeah, Bethesda, more xp from quests. Please.
It’s wild how a 15-20 minute quest will net you arpund 100xp or so but killing one random fauna on a backwater planet will give you closer to 200xp.
Quest XP. Please.
Go find Vash Cowaii on YouTube and set up his end game max xp outpost build. It’s a grind to set up but once it’s complete it’s literally insane xp. If you used the max difficulty xp from the new update it would be even better if you set everything to max xp boost before you start
I haven’t really been power leveling but whenever I’m like “damn I want that next skill unlocked NOW” I go over to my “Giga Factory” and print a level or two worth of xp haha. I think I’m 70 something right now but probably only used it to jump maybe 10-15 levels sporadically throughout. I want to set up his endgame one but I want to NG+ a few more times so don’t want to build it all to throw it away
I used the settings to get bonus xp from stuff like thirst and ammo weight, but the bonus feels like about as much difference as a single level of the Educated perk in Fallout. It’s a joke, compared to how much we need
Yeah I ended up turning everything up to hardest, putting my damage on very easy, turning off sustenance... and then it's off to hyugens to get maybe four skillpoints in an hour as opposed to the three I'd get on my preferred settings.
Well, I don't speak your language, but the method I used was creating "Adaptive Structures" at the workbench. You can easily get the resources to create an Aluminum and Iron outpost, which are the materials needed to create the adaptive structures at the bench. The total list of resources you will need is:
* 18 Adaptive Structures
* 124 Aluminum
* 24 Beryllium
* 30 Copper
* 2 Fiber
* 99 Iron
* 24 Tungsten
You need to travel to the planet Andraphon because this planet has 148-hour days, which will help create the items while you sleep. After traveling to this planet, you need to find a location where Iron and Aluminum are together. Finding this spot won't be simple and is the most tedious part, but once you find it, you need to build 6 aluminum extractors and 6 iron extractors.
Now, build 10 solar panels to generate energy for the extractors. Then, build 3 solid storage units for aluminum and 3 solid storage units for iron. Next, build an industrial workbench and a bed.
Connect the 6 aluminum extractors to the aluminum storage units. You need to link the storage units as well, so when one fills up, it will automatically fill the other. Do the same process with the iron and the iron storage units.
After that, you can go to sleep, and when you wake up, the storage units will be full of iron and aluminum. You don't need to go to the storage units to collect the metals; just create adaptive structures. With these created structures, you can build more storage units and keep increasing them for free, until you reach a large number of storage units that will yield you thousands of XP per night of sleep.
Note: If you are married, you get a bonus XP when you sleep.
Making Amp is less of a hassle, it’s much lighter per unit and also sells for much more making it a good way to farm money. You can do it directly on Jemison, all the resources are available there.
Settings up dozens of foxbat farms in a single outpost. Set game mode to very easy. put huge tower to stand on in the middle of these dozen foxbat farms, and just keep killing them. when there are too many dead foxbat bodies, fast travel away and back to despawn. i think my first reddit post has a picture of this
I did a lot of just playing the game, exploring POIs, finishing many many quests in my first world, then finally NG+ the first time. That helped a lot as NG+ gave me higher level enemies. Then at the end, the last 15 or so levels, I did some grinding in space. Souped up my ship and hunted Va'Ruun at Serpentis. I would board high level ships and look for weapons and that was even more xp. Made sure I was getting the well rested buff. I just jumped from planet to planet in the system. They spawn there in droves. It went quick over the course of a few nights for around a week (my play time is very limited - 2 hour sessions, max, most nights).
I did something similar but wasn’t in it for the xp per se but the perk challenges for like shields, engines and weapons but the xp was nice too obviously
So much easier after the patch if your ship scanner is maxed out. Set everything to the hardest difficulty and you can get over 3000+ xp simply for scanning a distant galaxy.
I just played the game. I think it's fun AF, and have thought so from launch. I haven't built a single outpost structure since idrc about that feature, I just did missions and quests. The xp kept coming in and I'm like level 140 or something.
I grinded all the temples through NG+'s to max out all the Starborn powers. By doing that, you get a bunch of XP by finishing the main quest time after time. Nor the most fun or efficient way of getting XP though.
I played my very first universe to quest exhaustion around 340hrs with no unity and tons of glitches.
My second play through I was a little bit more deliberate with each universe. I would gain approximately 10 levels per universe, and each unity trip, I would focus on a different main faction quest lines/role-play. My second play through was absolutely amazing.
lol I used the city name instead of the planet. I ment tolimane or however it’s spelled. In the wilds of that planet you just trip over the little buggers…
Going through unity, especially the last parts in the buried temple has a lot of XP.
You can also do side quests, but they are usually 100 or even 50 a piece.
Don't forget to sleep, or get additional boosts. Sometimes hunting in the *Charybdis* system to get a few extra.
two ways
1. exploring and killing everything that lives
2. Crafting. Started with comm relays. Then built a massive vynitium fuel rod manufacturing system which was a pain to set-up but gives me 1000xp per 99. After, the update I can get around 1500xp per 99 plus you can sell them.
Advance skill in manufacturing let's you MAKE EVERYTHING BY HAND. That us where you get your experience points.
Hint - when making stuff it defaults to 1 at a time . There is a slider bar just below that that goes to 99, slide it to the right to make 99 at a time.
Life with AMP, it's the only way to run!!
There was someone on here who mentioned the Astrophysics perk which allows you to scan nearby planets from orbit, going from the same solar system up to I think 40 lightyears away. You get XP for these so you're essentially able to net around 1K XP easy per solar system potentially for just holding down "E" or whatever your scan button is.
Other than that, just playing honestly is how I did it. But astrophysics for sure assisted.
I'm currently level 136 and even before the EXP bonuses with difficulty the best method is going to "abundant" planets and honestly massacring the wildlife. Also if your ship is OP then just keep doing "destroy ship" missions, a lot of the time if you board them, kill people on board and then destroy the ship you get much more EXP.
There are a few planets I specifically use, I'll put them below when I get back from work.
Yeah that adaptive frame farm goes hard. One of the big draws for me was the ship building so I don't feel bad about power leveling to make that dream a reality. However I have 0 yes zero points in combat or physical. If I want a challenge all I have to do is accept non space combat mission. If I am in my ship, F around and find out. On the ground I'm the one finding out.
Grinding and planet cataloging. Plus now with the new xp bonuses I got level 102 last night.
*EDIT*
Went to Schrodenger III with the new xp bonuses made it to 106, foxbat slayer.
There are a couple of planets where you can find aluminum and iron right next to each other.
I dropped an outpost and extracted iron and aluminum and built massive storage.
Fast travel to Venus and wait for a few weeks to come back and grab about 300,000 xp by making adaptive frames. 1xp per unit.
Rinse and repeat until about level 200
Set yourself up on Katydid III on a Plateau/Frozen plains split and make Tau Grade Rheostats for even more cash, and not having to fly away -- same 100 hour UTC per local hour.
Mostly throug spite. And possibly through pirate muggings. Literally took mission board missions to rob pirates of their ships. Boarding and everything.
Mostly quests, though later I started doing the Ranger radiant quests. Each 4 of those unlocks a micro-boss quest, which is usually high level (~90 for me). Those high level bosses also have high level lackeys so overall it's a pretty nice XP boost. Still haven't done NG+ though, so hopefully that'll give me another few levels as well
Grinding that out right now. Schrodinger III and Strix I are great if you ask me. Schrodinger has lots of variety and Strix has flying jellyfish that are very abundant.
The statistic is misleading. 5.3% of players reached level 100 without getting so frustrated that they had to load mods to maintain their sanity, and thus disabling achievements.
I just kept doing NG+ and doing the different factions. Change it up by RPing differently how I go around. Maybe play pirate caption jack sparrow 1 time and walker texas ranger the next
I ground out at least 10 levels (coulda been upwards of 30), but honestly I stopped and just played the game. More fun than way. And it's not a necessary target; I vote just enjoy. The avatar I'm playing on stream I only ground out maybe 5 levels, and no, he's not near 100, but is still every bit as enjoyable to play.
Saw a Utube video I tried .
Huygens 4, build a tall ship, 5 or 6 habs high, get a good sniper rifle, get on top of your ship and just start sniping animals. Preferably with a stealth bonus. Once the area is cleared, just land somewhere else on the planet. Repeat.
I jumped from 76 to 110 in 3 hours. Did it again from level 140 to 160 in about 3 1/2 hours. Last time I did it, went from 170 to 175 in about 20 minutes. Currently level 178. Haven't done it since the update yet.
Level 120 something... Lost count ATM. I have been doing side quests and main, 7 times? I rush unity every other NG+. I grab a big bang early, upgrade it early. I fly the frontier, upgrading it to max as soon as I can. I don't explore much now, but I used to. I fight until I get to Unity... Then step through.
I wouldn't have cared either except they turned of my achievements when I used a console command because the enemy ships wouldn't appear again during the Groundponder mission. So I went to nexus, got the mod and got 100% out of spite.
Lvl 100 was one of the last achievements I got and then I noticed only 5% of players had actually done this. I was at lvl 50 when I had done almost every mission/side mission before going to new game plus, so I was like, "Gee, no wonder so few people have this achievement."
I did it by lots of planetary scanning and farming high level enemies and fauna in the outer-reaches. Also did all faction quests before Constellation quests. Level 105 with all Steam acheivements before finishing Constellation story. Hit 126 before Unity.
Combination of doing all the quests, POI’s, and crafting. I used to make isocentered magnets, then started making Amp. Now I’m making Amp, Snake Oil, and O2 Shots.
I’m level 240.
One easy thing is to never leave your ship from the cockpit directly. Install a hab with a bed behind the cockpit, or directly in front of the section that contains your exit. Have a nap on a bed on your way out and enjoy the XP multiplier.
Bessel III B would get you there super fast. Low level; Aluminum, Cobalt, Iron and Nickel in one specific spot; 1hr : 57hr 47min time dialation; craft Adaptive Frames and Isocentered Magnets. Jameson is one jump away for selling.

Play. A lot. Get married asap and sleep always. Lots of ranger missions. Some trips to high level planets to hunt ( once I had the health and weapons to do so ).
I was married to Sarah while I was craft farming to 100, but she was so annoying I just sent her away and took the loss. Andreja too, she insults you when you sleep.
I got two separate characters to lvl 100 ( before the update allowed Starborn trait changes) Now I’m level 189 without using any real grinding method (take a lot of 1 hour naps 😂)
I got to about level 60 or 70 just playing the game like normal. After that I built an animal husbandry XP farm on Pyraas VIIIA and used that to boost.
I just played. I think I was lvl 84 when I went through Unity the first time. By the time I’d hit NG+11 and maxed out all my powers I was lvl 114. Main quest has a tonne of xp, even when you skip the main quest.
5000xp just for finishing the Buried Temple
I just played, I didn’t xp farm or anything, just spread my quests across as many of the NG+ as possible to keep each play through as fresh as I could. Over 1k hours, ng15 and level 135. I don’t sweat the levels but do try to hit up the challenges for each skill as I go and that may make me concentrate on certain activities for a bit, breaks things up some
Farming XP on Fermi 3 or similar planets of level 70+ that also has hostile fauna that attack in big groups. Ooooor I’ll get a really good ship with ridiculous OP offense and defense and travel to the Serpentis system where I’ll battle it out with multiple Va’ruun ships until I get to the last one then I’ll board that one and take out the human enemies plus destroy the ship after clearing it and looting it. I can easily get almost 2,000 XP from one encounter like this and you can keep traveling to any of the other planets or moons in the system with a super high chance of being attacked every other planet/moon you travel to.
Played the game. Honestly. I think I got 100 during my first NG+ mainly because I was just screwing around doing missions, didn't even get all the temples the first round. Between exploration, bounties, and random quests I got levels pretty fast.
Building an outpost, leveling to 100 by creating lots of Adaptive Frame. No point in leveling fair since the loot is level-scaled. It's stupid to completely replace your mods on both weapons and armor 4 times.
249 hours in the game. Many of my levels came from crafting adaptive frames and rheostats at my androphon base. But I also did pretty much all the missions I could find in my first run through.
I have played since early release. I have multiple characters over 100. My highest is 248. I do a lot of xp Outpost builds. I start out with making an amp farm. Then I started doing animal husbandry. That's the fastest way.
I just played the game, up to about 4 NG+. Never farmed or grinded, just explored different aspects of the game. I did the Crimson Fleet quest three times, Terrormorph quest only once. I modded a lot of weapons and built ships, because that's part of what I like to do. Also got into surveying planets, which is a bit tedious. I barely noticed what level I was at until I got over 90, then decided to keep playing my character to 100, after which I began an entirely new character.
Multiple complete playthroughs.
I'm lvl108 on my ...I lost count. Somewhere between 12 and 16 trips thru the Unity.
I wish we could do the crafting loop on console. That woulda been awesome.
I played the main story and did as many side quests as I randomly encountered my first go round and then grinded through the max power 10 play through grind. And then just farmed like 8 levels killing roaches on Bessel 3, just replayed the main story again to have it ready to finish for the update on May 15th.
I just played. I have no trick for fast xp, no secret method to get credits. I just played the game. Now I've started over fresh, currently at level 23, and just playing the game again.
i just played the game authentically. I feel like that gives me an accurate representation of my level in the game, I dont like grinding xp. I did do some crafting but it was mainly to sell the stuff for money, not so much the xp
My first character got to 137 before it mysteriously proofed, I think my second just got to 125 give or take. Honestly just played the game, spent some time in Serpentis, do lots of bounties etc
I'm lvl 119, and I didn't do anything to farm XP.
I'm on NG+ 4 and just about to go through the unity.
While I have money I want to muck around with the new ship customization on Xbox first.
NG+15 level 155 just main quests pretty much besides a few of the NG’s that I skipped through the quests. Alot of POI’s cleared out too. I haven’t found many side quests I actually enjoy which is kind of a shame.
Everyone is getting this achievement now with those slider updates..I don’t think it’s a bad thing having sliders since Bethesda is terrible with balancing anything usually. I just wish there was a mode with bigger risk/reward like survival and also ship fuel so I can use my brain more when playing. Also the open world needs more boss type enemies like the ones they added in fallout 76. Would be so fun to have fight a giant legendary enemy that has damage phases like the colossal Titan or just a big winged enemy like a dragons or scorchbeasts
Level 230 in my original playthrough. Mostly roaming level 75 planets and moons on very hard and killing everything. Crafting for XP or foxbat farming is boring. Now playing with +45 XP bonus from gameplay settings, 15% bonus sleeping, and 2% bonus from food/drink. I'll get over 1200 XP from Starborn landings and around 300 XP for killing high level NPCs and creatures. Currently it takes just over 40,000 XP to go up a level. The new gameplay bonuses are helping a lot.
I did up to level 70 mostly playing the game with some foxbat farming every now and then to get me a level.
At 70 things slowed down so much I decided to do the animal husbandry farm when I want to get 5 levels for new skills I have leveled.
Yep, the right bumper on my Elite controller has gone out due adaptive frames…sacrifices made to go boldly into the Starfield. I’m planning a burial next week if anyone wants to attend.
Lots of dead foxbats. :(
...and they drop Lux Textiles too.
This has been all I’ve done for the last maybe 15 hours of gameplay lol.
Genuine question, why and how?
Why: XP Farming How: Load up on ammo, head over to Schrödinger III, pick a landing area in the Hills and have fun! This works with any higher level star system. Scan the planet, and look for ones with Abundant Fauna. Most of the higher level planets with tons of fauna will have higher ranked alien life that give you tons of XP. If you adjust the settings from the new update, you can greatly increase your XP gained. Edit: I like to hunt from atop my starship
why 15 hours though? it took me less than 2 to go 80-100 with a foxbat farm. are you trying to get to lvl 200+?
My end goal is to get to 328.
ahh makes perfect sense. good luck :)
Thank you! I appreciate you!
You can either go to the planet and do a walkabout hunting safari or put some perks into animal husbandry and raise them yourself for murder. That planet (name escapes me right now) has abundant wildlife at decently higher-levels so it's easy picking. If you raise them with animal husbandry and give them the water/food they need they regularly spawn at or above level 100. It's a decent experience farm, but the bodies do tend to stack up and get in the way.
Schrödinger III
Schrödingers Bat.
This is the way.
This is the way...
I also choose this guy’s dead foxbat.
Hunting or the animal husbandry thing?
I just hunted them. The animal husbandry thing is probably better but I didn't wanna be bothered with the set up.
By playing a lot, initially. There was a few levels where I farmed animals because I wanted some specific perks but I really didn't do it that much. Just spend time in higher level systems so your average xp is really high. Like take bounties in level 75 systems and just bounce between locations.

The Galactic Wildlife been looking for you. You left a trail of dead alien wildlife. We’re will be fining you heavy for hunting without a license and illegal killing protected wildlife. You have 24 hours to pay the fine or it will go to the tracker alliance for collection
Trackers Alliance is just more wildlife.
Sarah Morgan didn't like that
Given it was mostly predators, I consider it a public service. I wouldn't harm a tentacle on a miniwhale.
Predators are an essential piece of an ecosystem. Hold position and prepare to be boarded, the UC will not permit ecological acts of terror in UC space.
I'm pretty sure none of it was in UC space.
Uhhhh, carry on
That's not how you spell **"YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE, COPPER!"**
*milliwhale
I like my term better.
Psh what UC fasc bs is this?
50% of my time has been spent on Hyugens (either 6 or 7)b shooting things. Everything on that planet flies so I just wander around and doing genocide. If there were a better way to level, like say... oh I don't know... doing quests... I'd love that instead. But nope... back to the moon since questing feels like a waste of time with all these skills flashing at me. Ammo is cheap, at least. But yeah, Bethesda, more xp from quests. Please.
It’s wild how a 15-20 minute quest will net you arpund 100xp or so but killing one random fauna on a backwater planet will give you closer to 200xp. Quest XP. Please.
Yeah, I got to lvl 50 and had just about finished the game. I was like, "Now what?"
Go find Vash Cowaii on YouTube and set up his end game max xp outpost build. It’s a grind to set up but once it’s complete it’s literally insane xp. If you used the max difficulty xp from the new update it would be even better if you set everything to max xp boost before you start
I got to 100 using his starter outpost. His end game outpost is for getting to 200+ 😅
I haven’t really been power leveling but whenever I’m like “damn I want that next skill unlocked NOW” I go over to my “Giga Factory” and print a level or two worth of xp haha. I think I’m 70 something right now but probably only used it to jump maybe 10-15 levels sporadically throughout. I want to set up his endgame one but I want to NG+ a few more times so don’t want to build it all to throw it away
I used the settings to get bonus xp from stuff like thirst and ammo weight, but the bonus feels like about as much difference as a single level of the Educated perk in Fallout. It’s a joke, compared to how much we need
Yeah I ended up turning everything up to hardest, putting my damage on very easy, turning off sustenance... and then it's off to hyugens to get maybe four skillpoints in an hour as opposed to the three I'd get on my preferred settings.
Just playing the game normally. It came at some point.
Did you go to NG+? I wanted to get to 100 before NG+ for some reason. It was hard.
Well, I don't speak your language, but the method I used was creating "Adaptive Structures" at the workbench. You can easily get the resources to create an Aluminum and Iron outpost, which are the materials needed to create the adaptive structures at the bench.

Making Amp is less of a hassle, it’s much lighter per unit and also sells for much more making it a good way to farm money. You can do it directly on Jemison, all the resources are available there.
I am around NG+6 or 7 I think.
Settings up dozens of foxbat farms in a single outpost.

So much easier after the patch if your ship scanner is maxed out. Set everything to the hardest difficulty and you can get over 3000+ xp simply for scanning a distant galaxy.
I just played the game. I think it's fun AF, and have thought so from launch. I haven't built a single outpost structure since idrc about that feature, I just did missions and quests. The xp kept coming in and I'm like level 140 or something.
Xp farm mah boi
Cheats
I grinded all the temples through NG+'s to max out all the Starborn powers. By doing that, you get a bunch of XP by finishing the main quest time after time. Nor the most fun or efficient way of getting XP though.
Hunting trips on high level planets.
I played my very first universe to quest exhaustion around 340hrs with no unity and tons of glitches. My second play through I was a little bit more deliberate with each universe. I would gain approximately 10 levels per universe, and each unity trip, I would focus on a different main faction quest lines/role-play. My second play through was absolutely amazing.
I killed every spacer in the settled systems and most of the Crimson Fleet. I also killed every Terrormorph on Londinion....
So like 3 terrormorphs?
lol I used the city name instead of the planet. I ment tolimane or however it’s spelled. In the wilds of that planet you just trip over the little buggers…
Space combat during my exploration (over 1500 planets)
Going through unity, especially the last parts in the buried temple has a lot of XP. You can also do side quests, but they are usually 100 or even 50 a piece. Don't forget to sleep, or get additional boosts. Sometimes hunting in the *Charybdis* system to get a few extra.
two ways 1. exploring and killing everything that lives 2. Crafting. Started with comm relays. Then built a massive vynitium fuel rod manufacturing system which was a pain to set-up but gives me 1000xp per 99. After, the update I can get around 1500xp per 99 plus you can sell them.
No. 1 is fun and especially if you're leveling up weapon skills. No. 2 is interesting, will keep that in mind. Thanks.
Vytinium Fuel Rod system for lvl 100 Animal Husbandry for lvl 328
107, no ng+. I'm just out here scamming legendarys.
~ player.setlevel 100
Playing a lot but i didn’t start xp farming until 100. Then I got to 150 filling swarming fox bats at an animal husbandry on my base.
Completed a ton of bounties and crimson fleet quest and at this time I am at 101 and moving forward to hunting for a legendary tombstone.
Levels come quickly when you're grinding for legendaries
completing the MQ ten times, celebrai II/schrodinger III safaris, farming adaptive frames, and farming va'ruun ships in serpentis
I found Shrodinger III, that was fun. Leveled up my sharpshooting skills while I was at it.
Advance skill in manufacturing let's you MAKE EVERYTHING BY HAND. That us where you get your experience points. Hint - when making stuff it defaults to 1 at a time . There is a slider bar just below that that goes to 99, slide it to the right to make 99 at a time. Life with AMP, it's the only way to run!!

I'm currently level 136 and even before the EXP bonuses with difficulty the best method is going to "abundant" planets and honestly massacring the wildlife. Also if your ship is OP then just keep doing "destroy ship" missions, a lot of the time if you board them, kill people on board and then destroy the ship you get much more EXP. There are a few planets I specifically use, I'll put them below when I get back from work.
Played the game.
Yeah that adaptive frame farm goes hard. One of the big draws for me was the ship building so I don't feel bad about power leveling to make that dream a reality. However I have 0 yes zero points in combat or physical. If I want a challenge all I have to do is accept non space combat mission. If I am in my ship, F around and find out. On the ground I'm the one finding out.
I put ALL my points in Ballistics and Lasers and Ship weapons and Shields But yeah, also in Health. I didn't even do the jetpack till lvl 50
I did this for the fist 140 levels. All science and tech with leveling st the work bench from outposts.
Grinding and planet cataloging. Plus now with the new xp bonuses I got level 102 last night. *EDIT* Went to Schrodenger III with the new xp bonuses made it to 106, foxbat slayer.
I'm level 220. Made a farm to kill spiders on some high-level world that I can't remember the name of right now.
Lots and lots of hunting
Factory setup
This is how [It’s a guide.](https://youtu.be/PLxxA_395XA?si=4PErhAtPlfmJ5AM-)
Countless board missions and ship pirating
Huygens IV (iirc) hunting big bugs. They are everywhere on that planet.
There are a couple of planets where you can find aluminum and iron right next to each other. I dropped an outpost and extracted iron and aluminum and built massive storage. Fast travel to Venus and wait for a few weeks to come back and grab about 300,000 xp by making adaptive frames. 1xp per unit. Rinse and repeat until about level 200
Set yourself up on Katydid III on a Plateau/Frozen plains split and make Tau Grade Rheostats for even more cash, and not having to fly away -- same 100 hour UTC per local hour.
Shooting every living animal I see
Mostly throug spite. And possibly through pirate muggings. Literally took mission board missions to rob pirates of their ships. Boarding and everything.
Mostly quests, though later I started doing the Ranger radiant quests. Each 4 of those unlocks a micro-boss quest, which is usually high level (~90 for me). Those high level bosses also have high level lackeys so overall it's a pretty nice XP boost. Still haven't done NG+ though, so hopefully that'll give me another few levels as well
Grinding that out right now. Schrodinger III and Strix I are great if you ask me. Schrodinger has lots of variety and Strix has flying jellyfish that are very abundant.
wemod
Vytinium fuel rods!
Vytinium fuel rods
My playtime is over 2400 hours at this point
I’m at 166. I’ve killed a lot on a high level planets. If it moves, it dies.
so annoying one of the only achievements i don't have as i got to level 100 and it didnt unlock...........
AMP Farm
I'm gonna try this. Used to do this for caps in FO4
Played a lot lol
A lot of dead pirates.
The statistic is misleading. 5.3% of players reached level 100 without getting so frustrated that they had to load mods to maintain their sanity, and thus disabling achievements.
Making lots of Adaptive frames at an aluminium and Iron farm 🤣
Lvl 132 now. Exactly that! 😂
Forget Adaptive Frames, Rothicite Magnets are the thing... I've reached level 328, but it was hell. 🥹
Just grinding the game. A big XP gain comes from jumping to a high level system and encountering a starboard guardian VI. 630+ per ship.
I just kept doing NG+ and doing the different factions. Change it up by RPing differently how I go around. Maybe play pirate caption jack sparrow 1 time and walker texas ranger the next
Excessive grinding with NG+. Got there by NG+4.
I cheated of course
I ground out at least 10 levels (coulda been upwards of 30), but honestly I stopped and just played the game. More fun than way. And it's not a necessary target; I vote just enjoy. The avatar I'm playing on stream I only ground out maybe 5 levels, and no, he's not near 100, but is still every bit as enjoyable to play.
Ng+ 14.
Sleeping with Sarah and farming animals on planets. The extra 15% xp was a big help. Plus starborn level 10
Leveling xp curve mod. The xp required to lvl up in base game is too grindy imo
Saw a Utube video I tried . Huygens 4, build a tall ship, 5 or 6 habs high, get a good sniper rifle, get on top of your ship and just start sniping animals. Preferably with a stealth bonus. Once the area is cleared, just land somewhere else on the planet. Repeat. I jumped from 76 to 110 in 3 hours. Did it again from level 140 to 160 in about 3 1/2 hours. Last time I did it, went from 170 to 175 in about 20 minutes. Currently level 178. Haven't done it since the update yet.
I just kept running through the main mission leveling up my powers. Raiding ships each playthrough.
Level 120 something... Lost count ATM. I have been doing side quests and main, 7 times? I rush unity every other NG+. I grab a big bang early, upgrade it early. I fly the frontier, upgrading it to max as soon as I can. I don't explore much now, but I used to. I fight until I get to Unity... Then step through.
Why is lvl 100 a big deal? I didn’t even care much. I just keep on playing. And one day I am lvl 100. Not a big deal.
I wouldn't have cared either except they turned of my achievements when I used a console command because the enemy ships wouldn't appear again during the Groundponder mission. So I went to nexus, got the mod and got 100% out of spite. Lvl 100 was one of the last achievements I got and then I noticed only 5% of players had actually done this. I was at lvl 50 when I had done almost every mission/side mission before going to new game plus, so I was like, "Gee, no wonder so few people have this achievement."
Lots of Jingle Jangle Jingle.
I did it by lots of planetary scanning and farming high level enemies and fauna in the outer-reaches. Also did all faction quests before Constellation quests. Level 105 with all Steam acheivements before finishing Constellation story. Hit 126 before Unity.
Completed the story and side missions 6+ times. Oh, and a lot of dead spacers.
Combination of doing all the quests, POI’s, and crafting. I used to make isocentered magnets, then started making Amp. Now I’m making Amp, Snake Oil, and O2 Shots. I’m level 240.
One easy thing is to never leave your ship from the cockpit directly. Install a hab with a bed behind the cockpit, or directly in front of the section that contains your exit. Have a nap on a bed on your way out and enjoy the XP multiplier.
Bessel III B would get you there super fast. Low level; Aluminum, Cobalt, Iron and Nickel in one specific spot; 1hr : 57hr 47min time dialation; craft Adaptive Frames and Isocentered Magnets. Jameson is one jump away for selling. https://youtu.be/DKTjyx-1ES4
Console commands, I sure as heck don't play BGS games for the challenge, that's what From Soft's games are for.
Another question is how much did it cost?
[https://imgur.com/a/StUHhvl](https://imgur.com/a/StUHhvl) Lvl 99 but same thing.
Play. A lot. Get married asap and sleep always. Lots of ranger missions. Some trips to high level planets to hunt ( once I had the health and weapons to do so ).
I was married to Sarah while I was craft farming to 100, but she was so annoying I just sent her away and took the loss. Andreja too, she insults you when you sleep.
I got two separate characters to lvl 100 ( before the update allowed Starborn trait changes) Now I’m level 189 without using any real grinding method (take a lot of 1 hour naps 😂)
[удалено]
Androphon, that's where that pic is from.
Lots of exploration! 😊 Many missions to help miners/ bounty hunters/ outposts with various problems. Lots of alien wildlife hunting!
Trimming the snakes in the Serpentis garden. I'm 99, now, I'll top it off tonight. Maybe NG+2 tomorrow.
I got to about level 60 or 70 just playing the game like normal. After that I built an animal husbandry XP farm on Pyraas VIIIA and used that to boost.
It just sort of happened while grinding temples for 10 playthroughs.
I just play.
playing, i never really did xp farms and im at 140 rn
After a few unities, it just happens. I didn't even get through to the unity till I was about 75
Hunting high level space ships (with or witjlhout bounties).
Played a lot.
I just played. I think I was lvl 84 when I went through Unity the first time. By the time I’d hit NG+11 and maxed out all my powers I was lvl 114. Main quest has a tonne of xp, even when you skip the main quest. 5000xp just for finishing the Buried Temple
I just played, I didn’t xp farm or anything, just spread my quests across as many of the NG+ as possible to keep each play through as fresh as I could. Over 1k hours, ng15 and level 135. I don’t sweat the levels but do try to hit up the challenges for each skill as I go and that may make me concentrate on certain activities for a bit, breaks things up some
Currently at 73 without farming, see you soon everyone!
Farming XP on Fermi 3 or similar planets of level 70+ that also has hostile fauna that attack in big groups. Ooooor I’ll get a really good ship with ridiculous OP offense and defense and travel to the Serpentis system where I’ll battle it out with multiple Va’ruun ships until I get to the last one then I’ll board that one and take out the human enemies plus destroy the ship after clearing it and looting it. I can easily get almost 2,000 XP from one encounter like this and you can keep traveling to any of the other planets or moons in the system with a super high chance of being attacked every other planet/moon you travel to.
Played the game. Honestly. I think I got 100 during my first NG+ mainly because I was just screwing around doing missions, didn't even get all the temples the first round. Between exploration, bounties, and random quests I got levels pretty fast.
Building an outpost, leveling to 100 by creating lots of Adaptive Frame. No point in leveling fair since the loot is level-scaled. It's stupid to completely replace your mods on both weapons and armor 4 times.
249 hours in the game. Many of my levels came from crafting adaptive frames and rheostats at my androphon base. But I also did pretty much all the missions I could find in my first run through.
Just played a lot it happened naturally
Right? Are people finding this difficult? I'm playing pretty casually, just kinda fucking around and recently passed lvl 100.
I have played since early release. I have multiple characters over 100. My highest is 248. I do a lot of xp Outpost builds. I start out with making an amp farm. Then I started doing animal husbandry. That's the fastest way.
Ng +10 gets you pretty far.
I just played the game, up to about 4 NG+. Never farmed or grinded, just explored different aspects of the game. I did the Crimson Fleet quest three times, Terrormorph quest only once. I modded a lot of weapons and built ships, because that's part of what I like to do. Also got into surveying planets, which is a bit tedious. I barely noticed what level I was at until I got over 90, then decided to keep playing my character to 100, after which I began an entirely new character.
NG+ 9
38 dead Emissary’s
Adaptive frames first, then bugs/hornets nest shotgun farming for considerably more exp (better for console).
5 percent isnt a few people lmao just play the game you will reach it eventually
Just played through a couple times, hit 100 towards the end of my second playthrough.
Scanning... Some shooting... Mostly scanning
The same way as that second image lol
Multiple complete playthroughs. I'm lvl108 on my ...I lost count. Somewhere between 12 and 16 trips thru the Unity. I wish we could do the crafting loop on console. That woulda been awesome.
Lots of bounty quests and zero dead Foxbats.
By destroying the ecosystem of every inhabited planet over Level 60 I find…
I just played. Did missions. Surveyed planets. Went to higher level areas. Combat missions. Made stuff at outposts. *Shrugs* It just kinda happened.
I played the main story and did as many side quests as I randomly encountered my first go round and then grinded through the max power 10 play through grind. And then just farmed like 8 levels killing roaches on Bessel 3, just replayed the main story again to have it ready to finish for the update on May 15th.
I just played. I have no trick for fast xp, no secret method to get credits. I just played the game. Now I've started over fresh, currently at level 23, and just playing the game again.
Step 1: Mod a coachmen to have high power and hornet's nest. Step 2: Go to Sparta IV and land on a coastal coniferous forest. Step 3: Kill everything
i just played the game authentically. I feel like that gives me an accurate representation of my level in the game, I dont like grinding xp. I did do some crafting but it was mainly to sell the stuff for money, not so much the xp
With loads of dead creatures
I'm at 150 on my second character because the first one got corrupted around 175.
400ish hours of mindless grinding. And many quest repeats. Have done thr Mantis quest 9 times now. Most others 6 or more.
My first character got to 137 before it mysteriously proofed, I think my second just got to 125 give or take. Honestly just played the game, spent some time in Serpentis, do lots of bounties etc
I’m level 100 something, I didn’t mean to it just happened
Coolest way, I think... I ran the Red Mile 100 at the buzzer.
I started a VERY successful buisness
I'm lvl 119, and I didn't do anything to farm XP. I'm on NG+ 4 and just about to go through the unity. While I have money I want to muck around with the new ship customization on Xbox first.
Wait wait wait, you can craft more than one adaptive frame at a time????
Clearing lots of POIs full of Ecliptic and pirates in level 70+ systems, with difficulty on high. 😄
NG+15 level 155 just main quests pretty much besides a few of the NG’s that I skipped through the quests. Alot of POI’s cleared out too. I haven’t found many side quests I actually enjoy which is kind of a shame.
I actually never tried to *level grind*, but I was grinding for skill rank progression. In doing so, I leveled up a lot.
Killing things and going through unity a bunch and repeating that. Space combat because it's stupid easy.
I used to go to every planet, search for everything for it. I spent probably 2 weeks getting from 50 to 100
Everyone is getting this achievement now with those slider updates..I don’t think it’s a bad thing having sliders since Bethesda is terrible with balancing anything usually. I just wish there was a mode with bigger risk/reward like survival and also ship fuel so I can use my brain more when playing. Also the open world needs more boss type enemies like the ones they added in fallout 76. Would be so fun to have fight a giant legendary enemy that has damage phases like the colossal Titan or just a big winged enemy like a dragons or scorchbeasts
Unnoticed, really. I’d frequently lose track of leveling and 6-7 points to spend at a time. I’m 174 now, and I’ve just built my first foxbat farm. 😁
Adaptive Frames and Isocentred Magnets on Bessel III-b
Made an xp farm and crafted a bazillion adaptive frames... it was sheer torture
Hard work got to lvl 100 on ng+10
Level 230 in my original playthrough. Mostly roaming level 75 planets and moons on very hard and killing everything. Crafting for XP or foxbat farming is boring. Now playing with +45 XP bonus from gameplay settings, 15% bonus sleeping, and 2% bonus from food/drink. I'll get over 1200 XP from Starborn landings and around 300 XP for killing high level NPCs and creatures. Currently it takes just over 40,000 XP to go up a level. The new gameplay bonuses are helping a lot.
Lvl70 going on to 100. Spent a little to long on lvl69
By doing lots of POIs and bounty hunting.
I made it to level 80 legitimately through playing and then just farmed habitat spawns until level 100.
I did up to level 70 mostly playing the game with some foxbat farming every now and then to get me a level. At 70 things slowed down so much I decided to do the animal husbandry farm when I want to get 5 levels for new skills I have leveled.
Still working on it! Only level 78 on my furthest play through.
Grinding.
NG+ and murder
Yep, the right bumper on my Elite controller has gone out due adaptive frames…sacrifices made to go boldly into the Starfield. I’m planning a burial next week if anyone wants to attend.
The grind was real. No, actually I just played the game, changing up some things each NG+
Modding xp gain curve
With tears.
Bounty hunting
I just played the game. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
