How to Get XP to Level Up All Skills

There are five main skills you are able to level up in this farming sim that make up the general progression of the experience. Here are the five main skills you need to worry about gaining experience for:

  • Combat
  • Farming
  • Fishing
  • Foraging
  • Mining

The general idea is the more you do those activities, the more XP you will get and eventually level up for it. For instance, you get combat XP from fighting monsters like slimes down in the Mines and other locations. You get Mining XP from breaking rocks and finding ores. Fishing from fishing in the water, Foraging from chopping down trees, and Farming from caring for animals, harvesting crops, and more.
