XP rates

XP per hour for every activity, grouped by skill. Use it to find a fast way to train a skill at your level.

How to use this page

Find your skill below.
Look only at rows you have unlocked: the Unlock column is the level you need.
Compare the XP per hour. Pick a fast one whose items you can use or sell.

There is no set training order. Train what your next place needs: see Places to rebuild. Fights show only their main skill here; each fight's page also lists the Defence and Vitality XP per kill.

These numbers use the game's own formulas at base prices, with no gear, no mastery and no bonuses from rebuilt places. Where luck is involved they are averages. Your own numbers only get better from here; each skill's Boosts page shows how.
