Updated for Patch 2.1 - Ultimate Leveling Guide for Once Human

Storyline Context

This guide focuses on efficiently leveling up to level 50 in Once Human using updated strategies introduced in Patch 2.1. The gameplay centers around exploring and clearing hostile settlements to gain large amounts of XP quickly, rather than relying on slower methods like crafting.

Gameplay Highlights & Leveling Strategy

Goal: Reach level 50 in just a few hours through efficient farming.
Map Used: Demonstrated on the “Endless Dream” server, which now features the new “visional wheel” mechanic, enhancing gameplay and XP farming potential.
XP Farming Method: Instead of crafting low-XP items like salt or charcoal, focus on clearing settlements marked by a purple “monopoly hotel” icon on the map. These settlements contain objectives such as:
- Finding mystical crates
- Weapon and armor crates
- Activating rift anchors Completing these objectives yields significant XP boosts.

Recommended Gear & Enhancements for Success

KM Abyss Glance + Stealth Walker Cloak: Essential for crowd control and stealth, allowing efficient enemy handling.
Arrow Leap: Grants a long-distance dash to quickly maneuver or escape.
Weaver Whims: Used to stun enemies in webs for crowd control.
Adrenaline Shots: Vital for healing and reviving during tough fights. The creator emphasizes always crafting adrenaline shots to avoid being easily knocked down.

Key Settlements & Locations for XP Farming

Ashen:
- Weapon crate on top of a large building
- Armor crate inside the mall area
- Mystical crate on the edge of a destroyed high-rise
Sunshroud Caves:
- Use a hidden entrance at the back to avoid heavy combat
- Weapon crate, rift anchor, and mystical crate are close together
- Gear crate on a ledge allows near-complete clearing with minimal enemy engagement

Completing Ashen and Sunshroud Caves from level 1 can quickly get you to around level 21.

Progression Tips

After reaching tier 3 gear, return home to equip it for better survivability.
Being “three-shot” (able to survive three hits) is much better than being “one-shot.”
Suggested route for maximum XP (in no strict order): Ashen → Sunshroud Caves → Firethroat Fortress + Fire Throat (combo called “Throat Goat”) → Fire God Research Center → Fire Dust Monolith → Downtown → Sunshine Farm → Forsaken Monolith → 73 Source Extraction Point → Fort Eerie → Blackfell Oil Fields → White Cliff
Completing these areas provides fast and efficient XP gains.

Additional Notes

The guide encourages players to embrace the challenge and danger of clearing settlements rather than passive crafting. Preparation, crowd control, and healing are key to succeeding in this high-risk, high-reward method.
