Key Strategy: Use an aura of effect damage build to kill enemies passively as you move, maximizing speed and efficiency.

XP Gain Breakdown

Following this pace ensures consistent and rapid leveling without downtime.

Pre-Run Setup

1. Set Difficulty to Very Easy:

• Higher difficulties do not provide additional XP but slow down runs. Stick to the easiest setting for speed.

2. Equip Aura of Effect Damage:

• Use items or skills that deal damage over time in an area around you.
• Example: Eternal Queen set for aura-based builds.

3. Equip XP Boost Skills:

• On the character you’re leveling, slot all skills that increase XP and gold gain.
• Ignore item quality or drop rates as you won’t be looting.

The Best Map: Expedition Mode – First Level

Why This Map?

• High enemy density.
• Simple layout: move east for the fastest completion.
• Efficient for passive aura damage builds.

How to Run It:

1. Move through the map in an eastward direction, letting your aura kill enemies.
2. Ignore loot completely—this run is for XP only.
3. Avoid stopping to fight champions; your aura will take them out as you pass.
4. Aim to clear as many enemy clusters as possible for maximum XP.

Tips for Faster Runs

• Kill Your AI Companions:
  • Lead them into explosive enemies at the start to get them killed.
  • This prevents camera issues and allows smoother navigation.
• No Looting:
  • Picking up items wastes time. Focus solely on moving and killing.
• Ignore Higher Difficulty and Gems:
  • Higher difficulty only slows runs without increasing XP.
  • Best way to farm gems is through Boss Rush mode, not Expeditions.

Efficient Use of XP Boosts

• Equip XP-boosting items and skills on all party members.
• XP boosts might apply to the whole party, so maximize this effect.
• Consider testing if XP boosts on one character apply globally by monitoring XP gains across the party.

---

End of Run: Exit Efficiently

• If you get lost, press Start and select “Leave Area” to keep all XP gained.
• No need to backtrack to the exit.

Pro Tip: Even if the exit is far, leaving the area directly preserves all XP, saving significant time.

Conclusion

By following this guide, you can reach level 50 swiftly without wasting time on loot or higher difficulty modes. Focus on aura damage, fast map clears, and optimizing XP boosts to power level your characters efficiently.

Happy leveling, and good luck with the endgame grind!
