How to level up fast in Palworld

Luckily almost everything you do in Palworld gives you EXP in one way or another, however, for many players that natural process can be a bit tedious. Below are all the ways you should focus on to save time and level up fast.

Capturing Pals (10 of each species)

It's not a secret that capturing Pals, or even defeating them for that matter, nets you a bit of XP. However, many players fail to utilize the game's bonus system for capturing 10 Pals of a species which gives you that exact big boost of EXP you're looking for.

To help you save time with this, you'll want to check out our guide on how to increase your capture chance in Palworld.

Completing Palbox missions

Completing Palbox missions is also your ticket to effortlessly gaining XP in Palworld. Not only do they guide you on what to do next with your base and Pals, but the XP rewards for clearing them are also pretty substantial.

The more missions you get through, the higher the reward for clearing each one gets. And it doesn't hurt that your base improves all the while. It's really a win all-around.

Clearing out battles

Whether you choose to take out those pesky Alpha Field Bosses or plan on getting through the daunting Syndicate Towers, winning against tough enemies is always going to net you a sizeable chunk of XP. Clearing out the Dungeons that spawn across the Overworld will also expedite your levelling-up process.

Though these things are easier said than done, simply going a step up in competition from time to time will definitely keep the game exciting. But if that's not something that entices you, you can always change the game's difficulty settings.

Tweaking EXP Rate settings

Speaking of settings, we certainly saved the best for last! This method is far and away the most optimal way of levelling up in Palworld. Simply head over to your World settings and turn the XP Rate slider up to max, which will result in your character gaining 1.3x the amount of XP they would from anything they do.

This method isn't for everyone, in fact, it could even soil the game's experience for you. But if you feel you really want to speed up the progression of your Palworld journey, there's really no better way.

Those are all of the best ways to level up fast in Palworld. For more, take a look at the best starter Pals in Palworld, or how you can play co-op with our Palworld multiplayer guide.
