By leveling up, the Awakened and your main vassal from Dragon’s Dogma 2 significantly gain strength. In this guide, we will reveal how you can farm experience and level-ups particularly efficiently.
When you earn a level-up for your Awakened or main vassal in Dragon’s Dogma 2, the stats of the fighters – depending on their currently active class – receive a significant boost. Moreover, you also level up your currently active class and unlock new passive or active skills with further ranks.
You will notice how effective level-ups are in combination with the acquired skills and equipment upgrades when you return to older areas for a quest. Formerly tricky groups of enemies suddenly fall like flies.
In short: Anyone who wants to significantly ease the adventure of Dragon’s Dogma 2 should level up their own alter ego and the main vassal as efficiently as possible. How to do this, we will explain in this guide.

General tips for quick leveling
The most important sources of experience: You will receive most XP by completing quests and killing enemies. Small monsters reward significantly less experience than the big ones, such as griffins, dragons, trolls, and ogres.
However, a large group of weak enemies can provide you with similar amounts of experience as a single large foe, only that you often dispatch the group of adversaries much faster.
Note that you can only level your current class through the experience points you gain from battles. XP from quests does not count towards your class’s progress.
What should I consider?
- If you want to level your character strength and class efficiently, avoid fast traveling. Move through the open world and especially take on all large groups of enemies.
- Packing helper vassals that focus on the classes of Archmage and Warrior will maximize area damage. Also include a thief for high single-target damage on larger beasts, who can also steal items, and you have laid the foundation for a powerful farming group.
- At the campfire, you can bring your team up to scratch by taking a rest phase. Cooking a meal for a stat buff, restoring your maximum health, and then farming becomes much easier.
- Do monsters respawn by resting? The creatures of the open world have a rather long respawn timer. It takes about a week for all defeated opponents to reappear.
- Pick up as many side quests as possible while exploring the game world. They can often be completed quickly and grant additional XP alongside killing monsters.
- Note that you will encounter more and stronger monsters at night in the open world.
- Upgrade your weapons and pieces of equipment at the armor merchants to at least the first level to more efficiently carve through the enemies.
- Avoid creatures that you are still too weak for. Avoiding an enemy takes less time than a lost battle.
Perfect XP and Gold farming in the early game – here’s where you need to go
Near the first city, Vernworth, there is a farming route through which you can collect about 23,000 experience points and 15,000 gold per hour. The farming spot is described by YouTuber Kibbles Gaming, who presents the route in his new video:
Here are the most important details:
- Kibbles Gaming set off with two Archmages and one Mage (for healing). His Awakened is an archer.
- Before the run, the YouTuber had collected 56,143 experience points, and his heroine was at level 17.
- The route starts at the bridge that leads northwest out of the city. The first path leads to the Trevo Mine. Then, you return a short distance in the outdoor area, into further cave areas. The third and final cave eventually returns you to the city.
- After about a quarter of an hour, you return to the city to empty your inventory, possibly regenerate health points, and skip a few days (this is particularly quick on benches).
- After about 19 minutes, Kibbles Gaming is back at the starting point to start the second run. The new XP count: 63,805. He managed to collect 7,662 experience points in one round.
- When projected to an hour, about 23,000 experience points are possible.
