Fast Leveling Guide

Party Up With Friends

If the countless hordes of the corrupted are getting out of hand, getting a fellow adventurer will surely help. With friends, you can cover higher-level areas and focus more on overwhelming enemies with higher damage output.

However, keep in mind enemies scale depends on the amount of people in your party, so be careful!

Revisit Areas Close to Your Level

Whenever you find yourself stuck due to a lack of power, try revisiting some areas that are easy to traverse, have respawning optional bosses, and the level range is relatively close to yours! These are the recommended areas for the first two acts:

Defeat Optional Bosses

While it may seem daunting to face the evils of Wraeclast, defeating them will compensate you with a significant amount of EXP!

Furthermore, they have a pool of rare loot alongside necessary Currency Items and Passive Skill points, making it easier for you to progress through the harder sections of the game.

Reasons to Level Up Fast

Reasons to Level Up Fast
To Get Passive Skill Points and Stats To Equip Level-Gated Equipment To Access Endgame Content To Trade Unique Items To Further Strengthen Your Build

To Get Passive Skill Points and Stats

By leveling up quickly, you will gain points to allocate into the passive skill tree and higher base stats such as Life and Mana, allowing you to scale and improve your efficiency!

However, leveling up does not increase any of the main attributes: Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence. You can only get these by allocating them to the attribute highway nodes on the passive skill tree!

Beginner's Guide and How to Get Started

To Equip Level-Gated Equipment

Most of the end-game equipment will be gated by character levels to prevent characters from being overpowered early on. By leveling up quickly, you can get access to better equipment, allowing you to blitz through and tank attacks more consistently!

To Access Endgame Content

A lot of the fun content in Path of Exile 2 is only made accessible after reaching certain level caps. Content such as Breach and the dreaded Burning Monolith will surely give you a run for your money if you are not properly leveled!

Use the Omen of Amelioration to Lessen Experience Loss Upon Death

The Omen of Amelioration can be activated to prevent 75% of experience loss when you die. This is especially helpful when running Atlas maps on higher levels since the 10% loss upon death can be pretty bad.

To Trade Unique Items

If you have ever gotten a Unique Item and tried to trade it over to a friend, it will come to your notice that you cannot do so until Level 25. This bars you from trades as well, limiting the possible ways you can build your character.

To Further Strengthen Your Build

Most of the strong Skill Gems and Passives that players use to complete their power fantasy build will be barred off until the latter stages of the game. Leveling up quickly will allow you to access the sandbox of building potential that is Path of Exile 2!
