Summary
Leveling up and unlocking new skill perks inStarfieldis considered by many to take a lot longer than other games, but one player shows off an absurd number of levels gained simply by mass-producing one of the game’s most basic manufactured items. As is the case with virtually any game involving experience points, players have already devised several highly-efficient methods of farming XP inStarfield, allowing them to grab some of their favorite perks without hours of quest-chasing.
Starfield’s experience and leveling systemsaren’t dissimilar to those seen in previous games from its developer, with players unlocking a single skill point each time they level up. These skill points can be used to unlock the many character perks available across multiple categories from combat to charisma, though players are required to complete certain challenges for each perk if they hope to advance any particular skill even further. As expected, fans can earn small amounts of XP by doing just about anything inStarfield, whether it’s shooting down pirate ships in outer space or just surveying some unique geophysical features on a planet’s surface.

While there are certain methods fans can use to maximize their XP gains while exploring the galaxy, some fans have offered some helpful ways of gaining levels fast. One of the most popular methods offarming XP inStarfieldinvolves mass-crafting of adaptive frames, and one player by the name of FSFreeman demonstrates how this easy technique got them hundreds of levels without even leaving home base. The player was able to craft a staggering 9 million adaptive frames, and with every crafted item granting just a single point of experience, this resource-demanding endeavor ends up providing a total of 9 million experience points. In addition to the experience points, mass-produced manufactured components can also be sold, meaning that these kinds of methods can provide a steady flow of credits as well as levels.
The only requirements forproducing items inStarfieldare resources and an industrial workbench, and adaptive frames are typically seen as the ideal items to manufacture due to them being one of the cheapest and most basic items in the game. Adaptive frames require only iron and aluminum to craft, both of which are relatively common resources which can be found throughout the galaxy. Setting up outposts equipped with resource extractors on certain mineral-rich planets can easily provide players with a steady flow of the metals needed to craft these items, making a farm relatively easy to set up.
The wide variety of skill perks to unlock is just one aspect of the game that could encourage fans to continueplayingStarfieldfor potentially hundreds of hours. It’s also worth keeping in mind that seeking XP through more conventional means can often be more rewarding than exploiting farms, but with the game providing XP for doing nearly anything, fans can feel rewarded whatever their playstyle.
Starfieldis available on PC and Xbox Series X/S.
