Guide to Grind Levels

Leveling

Are you tired of being beaten into a pulp and forgetting to save? Stuck on a quest due to it being too high of a level? Fear not! This guide shall teach you how to level up fast and effectively using absolutely everything at your disposal.

Option 1: Enemy Smiting

Ah, the classic way to level up in EbonSide, simply beating things until they give things. For this, you would want to start with slimes until you reach somewhere around level 5-6, then move on to fighting some tougher enemies, such as bees or some of the lurking bandits. From there while using this method, go until levels 12-14 before moving on to bats in the caves.

Be sure to also upgrade your weapons and armor after it can be upgraded, you want to aim for the tier right after your next tier since leveling goes by fairly quick. Now, if you have yet to notice, each interval of when you should upgrade to a higher level enemy is about every 6 levels using this method so that the enemies become easier to handle and your level requirements goes up, requiring more XP.

Option 2: Quests

This one is very simple. Run around every location possible, snag the quests from everybody, then if you plan on mixing the strategies, use the resources from your enemy smiting to fulfill your quest requirements, such as 15 Red Meat from the Chef or 3 Bat Wings for a civilian. Quests usually yield some XP, and if not, reaching that point where it can be completed would also suffice in providing XP.

Option 3: Grand Tomfoolery

My personal means to level up, using this strategy is one of the hardest ways to level up, but also makes sense given on how to do it. Once you have beaten the goblins leading to Killica, you could actually avoid going there entirely, going to Stoneber instead, and casually just walk everywhere.

Walking in of itself does not level you up, but what does level you up is activating key quest steps before the quest begins. Using Grand Tomfoolery is an upgraded form of simply doing every quest, but has the best means to level up since activating parts of a quest beforehand actually skips several steps so you could simply ignore any progression locks.
