PoE Level 100 XP, Guide, Best Way to Level to 100 (2024)

The PoE Level cap is 100. In order to level a character up to max level, it is necessary to get more experience. Currently, there is only one source for experience in this game, which is killing monsters. Every monster gives experience depending on the type of the monster, its rarity, the area level and certain stats affecting the monster or the area it is in. The amount for the next level increases very fast.

Level 100 XP

The XP of Level 100 is 4,250,334,444. You need 300+ maps just to get from 99 to 100. When we are going 100 million XP/hour at level 99, it takes about 42.5 hours.

General Tips for Leveling 100 Fast

For both experienced players and new one's alike, this section aims to provide a faster way to reach maps while employing a basic strategy which most racers tend to use. Note that you should only attempt this if you are confident in your abilities; Especially if you are playing on aHardcorechallenge league!

• Do not waste time killing regular monsters when you can help it. Focus on getting quest objectives and only stop to kill packs of blue/purple-tinted monsters. Very early into the campaign, rare (yellow) monsters are too hard to kill efficiently when you do not have good starting gear, so skip those too at least until the middle of Act 2.
• If this is not your first time, learn the layouts of each zone. Knowing where the exit will be based on the starting position of the zone entrance will save you tons of time.
• Only stop and doTrials of Ascendancyduring the first time you start a league (they apply to all future characters so you only need to complete them once).
• Finish the side quests for skill points only if you're starved for points or aren't dealing enough damage or dying too fast. You should normally be able to skip all but the mandatory skill point quests until you're done with the campaign in order to save time.
• Don't bother crafting stuff - this consumes time. Instead - rely on what you find. This goes also for 3-4 linked items and above, items with resists and life, and other gear.
• Check the vendors every time you are back to town to turn in quests or enter a new town (do not backtrack to towns without good reason!). Look for movement speed boots, rings with life, items with resistances, items with more links than you have and items that have one of each socket colour sockets, all linked. For instance boots with 3 linked RGB, or 4 linked RGB[ANY] colours.
• Acquire your ascendancy at or before the level requirement to boost your build power. Try to do the MercilessLabyrinthrun before you kill Kitava, as the resistance penalty is less harsh beforehand.
• Utilise quicksilver flasks to boost your speed, also use blink skills likeDash,Flame DashorFrostblinkto pass obstacles or uneven ground faster. They also help you move out of dangerous situations quickly.
• Utilise utility flasks -Topaz Flask,Sapphire Flask,Ruby Flask,Quartz Flask,Granite FlaskandAmethyst Flaskto bolster your survivability during the campaign. You get these flasks as both drops during normal gameplay and as quest rewards during the campaign.
• Learn to level up yourself and skill gems during zone transitions or just after a zone transition, this will reduce the time you stand around deciding what to do.
• Plan your build ahead of time, usePath Of Buildingand keep it open so you can quickly ALT+TAB out of the game, check your next steps and then allocate the passives while you play.
• Learn item mods and how they boost your build, look for items with those mods during your run and discard or sell items you do not find useful. Instead - focus on only what boosts your damage and survivability. As a general rule, you want Life, Resistances and Damage in that order. Once your resistances reach or exceed 75%, focus on Life then Damage.

Level 100 Guide

In order to level a character up it is necessary to get more experience. Currently there is only one source for experience in this game, which is killing monsters. Every monster gives experience depending on the type of the monster, its rarity, the area level and certain stats affecting the monster or the area it is in. The amount for the next level increases very fast.

In short, the best way to level to 100 is to kill more monsters in high tier maps and don’t die.

1. Not dying is sort of a prerequisite

In default leagues, loss of experience is incurred upon death. The penalty is a percentage of the total required for the next level and is applied as follows:

• 0% loss inAct 1toAct 5and normalLabyrinth
• 5% loss inAct 6toAct 10and cruel/mercilessLabyrinth
• 10% loss in any area reached from themap deviceandthe Eternal Labyrinth

Losing experience in this way will not cause you to lose a level.

Inplayer-versus-playerbattles, the experience penalty does not apply. Likewise, ahardcorecharacter that dies in PvP will not be lost.

2. Build a very powerful character

You just need a very powerful character that clears fast as well as a lot of dedication.

3. Roll maps

You need to roll maps for quantity to sustain your map/currency pool and for extra pack size. Especailly farming in the map with increased Experience gain modifier.

4. Play more

Play more, kill more monsters, especially high tier bosses.

5. Farm in higher tier maps.

Kill monsters in higher tier maps will gain more XP.

6. Speed is king

Play efficient. Just loot currency and maps.

7. Set a level 100 goal

Set yourself a daily goal like I do when I go for 100. I try to get at least 10% of 99 each day. when I’m able to get more the better.

Leveling Unique items

The following gear is helpful while leveling during the Acts, as they are cheapUniqueitems that provide significant boosts, and can be worn from a low level onwards. These are not necessarily required, and players with no currency can simply use the gear that drops during the Acts, andlinkedgear purchased from town vendors.

Self-crafted items

Players can usevendor recipesto easily craft weapons that are required for leveling, if they have no currency to purchase items, or if they are playing in SSF mode (solo self-found).

To do this, simply sell the items in the "Recipe" column to any vendor at any town, in order to receive the item in the "Result" column.

Manual crafting

Additionally, for several builds that rely on spells that scale extremely well with levels - for instance:Absolution,Wintertide Brand,Exsanguinate,Corrupting Feverand others, the player should attempt to craft a wand, dagger or an INT-based shield of as low iLVL (You can view this by holding ALT while hovering over the item) as possible (recommended 1-11) by first usingOrb of Transmutationand then usingOrb of Alterationalongside ofOrb of Augmentationto try and roll one of the following mods on these items:

• x toLevelof all Physical Spell Skill Gems- wands, shields
• x toLevelof all Fire Spell Skill Gems- wands, shields, daggers
• x toLevelof all Cold Spell Skill Gems- wands, shields, daggers
• x toLevelof all Lightning Spell Skill Gems- wands, shields, daggers
• x toLevelof all Chaos Spell Skill Gems- wands, shields

Players should be aware that only ONE of these mods can roll on the item, as they all share the same mod group. Trying to gain, for example -x toLevelof all Physical Spell Skill Gemsandx toLevelof all Cold Spell Skill Gemstogether is not possible, and the same is true for any other combination with the notable exception ofx toLevelof all Spell Skill Gemsmod which is not available until iLVL 55 of the item, but at this stage it also becomes FAR less likely you will get both mods.

The average number of tries to hit one of the above mods is higher at lower iLVL and much lower at higher iLVL items. By crafting either one weapon and one shield or two weapons, you stand to have +2 to a specific gem, which is a massive boost to your power during any stage of the game, even in maps.

List of Level Experience

The amount is the same for every character in every league. The number shows how much total experience is necessary to reach the level.
