Xenoblade Chronicles 3 EXP or experience points are needed to progress through the game, and below we have collected the best ways to level up quickly.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Exp Guide - How to level up fast in the game

Granted Nintendo Switch is not the most popular console out there. However, it does not under-deliver in the quality and experience of its games compared to other consoles.

For example, take the Japanese Role-Playing Game (JRPG) Xenoblade Chronicles 3. It is one of the biggest titles for Nintendo. The game is exploratory in nature, with many locations, characters, and secrets to dig up. Your party will find itself face-to-face with opponents that are hard to beat without leveling up.

Now, the ways to gain EXP (experience points) in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 are several. The breadth of Xenoblade Chronicles is huge and you can just as slowly conclude that Noah and this team are under-leveled and outmatched. This will allow you to understand the game a little better so you can level up much faster.

But saving your time, we have jotted down the best methods on how to level up fast in Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 EXP farming - Exploration

Fortune favors the brave. The same applies to the world of Xenoblade Chronicles. If you want EXP, then you need to get out of your bed and head into the wild. You will encounter small and big rewards as you explore the game, plus secrets and other such valuables. And with each area on the map that you discover, your party gains more EXP.

In colonies, discovering a new room or a floor also comes under the heading of a new location discovery. Of course, this doesn’t reward you with as much EXP as an area in the open world, but you can’t leave any stones unturned.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 EXP farming - Socializing with NPCs

Interacting with NPCs is one of the best ways to earn EXP in Xenoblade Chronicles 3, much like in real life.

In this game, the NPCs can give the party a lot of new quests and errands to complete. When engaged in a conversation, you will notice a star in a yellow speech bubble if the NPC you are talking to has got something new to say. Also, these guys are seasonal. They only show up at a particular time of the day, so use the Time Skip mechanic to speak to whichever NPC you want.

The party gains some EXP for just talking to an NPC too. Plus, some EXP is also hidden in trading with them for the first time in a colony. Also, you can eavesdrop on conversations between NPCs to get new quests in Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 EXP farming - Following a diet

This game certainly has a lot of resemblance to reality. You need the energy to go out there and slaughter people. And that comes with having nutritious meals.

Before you get your Rocky face on and leave for the wild, rest at a camp and eat something that provides you with some EXP in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. The party’s menu expands as the story progresses, but even then, it’s good to follow the thumb rule and go for the one that grants the most EXP.

The first meal that is available to you will give the party a 5% accumulation. Not much at first sight, but given the number of battles you will go through, it’ll add up eventually.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 EXP farming - Fighting out of your comfort zone

Out there in the wild, there is no end to what you get to experience. A huge array of monsters awaits the presence of you and the party.

Now, monsters come in all shapes and sizes, and temperaments. There will be monsters that are on the lookout for the party and will chase it when it comes within their scope. On the other hand, some monsters will require a little poking to start caring about you and start a fight.

In choosing which monsters to fight, always go for a monster that is either on the same level as the party or two levels up at max. You will gain more Xenoblade Chronicles 3 EXP this way and also ranks that will let you learn a new class. Elite monsters can be spotted by two blue wing symbols. It gets tough, but the reward will be worth it.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 EXP farming - Farming unique monsters

There are Elite Monsters, and then there are Unique Monsters. The latter is tougher by definition, but rewards you with more EXP, Nopon Coins, and gold in the game.

The major difference between these two types of monsters, apart from their difficulty level, is that wherever a Unique Monster is killed, a Named Grave will rise. Interaction with this grave site will fetch you some EXP and Nopon coins.

Applying Chain Attack Overkills on Unique Monsters

A Chain Attack lets you choose three characters for an attack, hence bringing three different effects in a single attack.

The use of the Chain Attack on weakened opponents will start the accumulation of EXP until the chain is exhausted. This happens because of the collection of Overkill points. Collecting EXP points on Unique Monsters in such states is one of the best ways to farm EXPs in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 along with other rewards.

Moreover, you can go up against these guys as many times as you want.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 EXP farming - Cash in Bonus EXP at rest points

The Bonus EXP system allows you to Level Up individual characters or the entire party at once at rest points/campsites, provided you guys have enough Bonus EXP in the bank. Just select Level Up and press the + button.

We have also included the top ways to gather Bonus EXP in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 below:

Skirmishes: These are small battles between monsters in which you can pick a side and gain some Bonus EXP for the party.
Exploration: We have explained this in detail above.
Overkill Chain Attacks: Use Chain Attacks on weakened opponents to gain Bonus EXP.
Discuss Topics: In Colonies, you can look at the topics available for discussion at a campsite. Also, listen in on conversations between NPCs that are represented by a yellow symbol above their heads to gain Bonus EXP.

If you look at it, there are no shortages of ways in which you can collect EXP in Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

In addition to all the methods we have listed here, be sure to explore on your own and figure out ways to gain EXP and level up fast in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 as per your needs.
