The fastest ways to level up in Throne and Liberty

While Throne and Liberty has a lot of unique aspects to it, such as being classless and allowing you to freely change your role by just swapping weapons, it still sticks to many of the tried and true tropes of MMORPGs. Leveling up your character is one aspect that will be familiar to anyone, and the ultimate goal will be to hit the max level as fast as you can. The game will get you hooked by handing out levels like candy in the first few hours, but then the grind sets in. There are a lot of different things you can do to earn XP, but not all of them are the best bang for your buck if your goal is to be as efficient as possible leveling up. These are the fastest ways to grind levels in Throne and Liberty.

Leveling up is a simple process of earning XP just like a traditional RPG. Alongside increasing your character’s stats, you also get rewards along the way in the Leveling Log, so don’t forget to claim those as you grind.

Complete the main story

It should come as no surprise that the main story quests are the most lucrative source of XP in Throne and Liberty. These are generally quick and dump enough XP for you to take on the next one in most cases, but eventually will hit a few walls. These are especially important to focus on in the early game because you’re let loose long before all the mechanics and features of the game are unlocked. They will also open up new activities and ways to earn XP once you run out of them or feel like changing things up.

Do Appendix Quests as they unlock

Speaking of those new features, Appendix Quests occasionally appear between story missions as branches on the chart in the Codex. These are glorified tutorials on the new mechanics or features the game introduced during the story to give you a better understanding of them. Even if you fully understand them, doing the quests is a fast and easy way to get a quick shot of XP and rewards.

Don’t leave an area before finishing the Exploration quests

Exploration quests are a separate tab on the Codex and give you a number of tasks to do within a given region. The main story will bring you to all the major zones, and each one has its own set of objectives that are the equivalent of side quests in other RPGs. These unlock in stages, with all the steps and rewards listed out for you. Along with raw XP, you will get a lot of other handy rewards like Sollant, recipes, and rare materials for upgrades. This will help you keep up with the scale of main quests as they increase in level, but also make sure you’re able to keep your gear upgraded and properly leveled as well.

Participate in every Dynamic Event you see

Dynamic Events are Throne and Liberty‘s version of world events from other RPGs, which are events that spawn in the world for anyone in the area to participate in if they wish. If you see one pop up on your map or in the distance, drop everything and rush to join in. They are not totally random, however, and you can see when and where one is going to appear on your map screen. There’s a wide range of events, with some being almost impossible to fail like collecting resources within a time limit up to competing against other players for the most kills or facing a boss on the field that could wipe you if there aren’t enough other players helping. The harder the event, the more XP (and other rewards) you get for them. If it is a higher-level one, such as a boss, you can expect a huge chunk of XP as a reward.

Stop for any Mystic Globes and Portals

While you’re exploring and doing any of the other activities listed, keep an eye out for the hidden Mystic Globes in the world. If you have any Mystic Keys when you find one, you can crack them open for some easy XP. If you’re really lucky, the globe will also spawn a portal. It can be anywhere within a marked circle on your map and will shower you with even more XP if you find and open it.

All Relic perks in Black Myth: Wukong
A character gearing up for battle in Black Myth: Wukong.

There are a ton of things to keep track of in Black Myth: Wukong. You have your basic skill tree, plus equipment, Spirits, weapons, armor, and even health gourd to manage as you make your way through the majestic landscapes. Relics show up less frequently than anything else but can have the biggest impact on your experience. This makes them just as important to the gameplay as they are to the narrative. You will only get five across the entire game, each with three distinct perks to pick from. You can only use one per Relic, though, so let us give you a quick primer on every Relic perk in Black Myth: Wukong and how you get them.
How to get Relics
Without spoiling anything, you will automatically get a new Relic at the end of each chapter in Black Myth: Wukong. With a total of six chapters, that leaves five Relics in total since you do not get one after beating the game. None of them are missable. When you get one, you can activate its perk by sitting at a Shrine and going into the Self Advance menu. From there you can go to Reignite the Sparks and finally Relics to choose your perk of choice.

While not a fully permanent choice, you will need to visit a Shrine if you ever wish to change your build with different perks since only one perk per Relic can be active at a time.

How to upgrade health in Black Myth: Wukong

In an action RPG with as many bosses as Black Myth: Wukong, health is your most valuable resource. While you do have ways to upgrade and improve your healing gourd, there will always be a limit to how much health you can recover between Shrines. Your best defense is to not get hit, obviously, but that's not exactly useful advice. The next best tip is to get more health, but it isn't immediately clear if or how you can even do that. In reality, there are several ways, but it takes a little time to find them.
How to upgrade health in Black Myth: Wukong

There are three main ways to upgrade your total health in Black Myth: Wukong. The first is the easiest, but also provides the smallest improvements. It entails leveling up the Robust Construction stat in the skill tree. You can level this stat up multiple times to get incremental buffs to your total HP.

The best skills to get first in Black Myth: Wukong
A boss knocks over the main character of Black Myth: Wukong.

As an action RPG with some Soulslike elements, Black Myth: Wukong has a deep and expanding skill tree to explore. Unlike a lot of other skill trees, this one only has a few stat-buffing skills while the rest add or modify your existing moves. This makes each skill feel more impactful, but also puts a lot more pressure on you to make good choices early on to know what will or will not help you beat the early bosses. And make no mistake, these bosses won't go easy on you. You have a long journey ahead of you in Black Myth: Wukong, so make sure you get off on the right foot by knowing which are the best skills to get first.
Robust Construction/Rampant Vigor

The easiest stats to recommend putting a few early points into are Robust Construction and Rampant Vigor. These are the only two pure stat-increasing skills, with the former being one of the few ways to increase your health and the latter adding more stamina. It will be a while before you find more options to increase either of these stats, or improve your healing gourd, so these are a safe way to muscle your way through tough bosses.
