Best Ways to Farm XP in Palworld

Players can perform the following methods to level up fast in Palworld:

  • Capture new species
  • Catch the same species 10 times
  • Go into dungeons
  • Capture/Eliminate any Pals
  • Win boss fights

When it comes to XP, capturing Pals is your best friend here, especially if you see one you’ve never encountered before. Those who are able to catch an all-new type will immediately notice a significant XP boost for the first-time catch. This levels up your character much faster.

However, the best Palworld XP farming method is to capture the same one 10 times. You’ll receive a notification for it, showcasing an XP Bonus each time. Based on my experience, I was able to advance a few levels in under 20 minutes by doing just this. Yes, it can be tedious to do, but you can try for the lower-ranked Pals to quicken the pace. Note however that once you’ve caught the same Pal 10 times, the boost no longer applies.

Then, once you’ve increased your team’s level, you should start capturing stronger Pals over and over again. Even Pals who aren’t new can still level you up. But if you’re hesitant to catch the same types, you can sell any leftovers you may not need.

I’ve noticed that catching high-level creatures provide more XP farming, primarily the Pals associated with bosses. These creatures are marked with a circular icon on the map and will respawn over time, so make sure to check back on them for more rewards.

You can start with the first boss at Rayne Syndicate Tower. Although it’s a tutorial mission, you’ll need to spend a considerable amount of time getting ready for the showdown due to the creature’s robust powers. Fortunately, the rewards are well worth it, and it can help you increase your rank and your Pals.

Other than catching them, exploring is another good way to go, like the Dungeons in the wild. They appear as caves, but you should prepare beforehand to withstand tough enemy attacks. The more foes you take down, the more XP you and your team will gain.

There are plenty of other ways to earn more XP by finding new areas and leveling up your base. It all adds up eventually, so do your best to clear out the map.
