Endgame, I like the serpent shrine with all the monkeys. Gets about 3-4000 each cycle.
Warp to the idol. Use the finger whistle* and make all of the monkeys kill each other. There are two white monkey boys and you'll wait to stealth kill the survivor.

Play with how you use the whistle and try to stealth kill the white monkey on the roof before he jumps down.

Best farm imho is Mibu Manor - 6x blue noble. 3180 (NG) / 5088 EXP (NG+) every 35s (counting in resting at idol, without any exp buffs)

Submit

If you're to the point where Ashina has been attacked by the interior ministry (doesn't apply to Shura ending), there is a purple ninja below the Upper Tower Dojo idol that drops 1052 EXP per kill and can be backstabbed. Best EXP farm in the game? He also drops scrap iron and scrap magnetite with occasional adamantite scrap.

Best farming spot is Ashina Castle - Antechamber idol after the first attack. Stealth kill both blue samurai and purple ninja and repeat. Takes about 20 seconds and it gives you ~3000XP.

Submit

Best place to farm Exp is at your second visit to Hirata Estate just before the Owl boss fight. Rest at the idol, destroy all the paper walls and obstacles then kill the black shinobi hunter, kill the white one from behind and then the 2 archers in front of him. You can use shuriken to destroy the walls, wait a bit and the enemies go back to their starting positions. Rest at the idol and repeat. The paper walls stay broken. For best results rush to NG+7 and do it without Kuro's Charm and Demon Bell active.

Submit

There is no max level, you only stop leveling up once the required xp to level up surpasses 999999999 as you cannot get more than this amount of xp. This is due to the game not being able to load a number over 999999999.

All anyone really wants to see on this page is =best xp farms

Submit

I disagree. It's a very good game, but I think Donkey Kong is the best video game ever.

Submit

Mortal Kombat, for Sega Genesis, is the best video game ever

I'm not sure why this hasn't been mentioned but has definitely been my favorite farming method since I can get about 12,000 exp in 1 minute in NG+, requires you to get to Hirata Estate (Second Memory) so you would need to follow the path of the Purification Ending. At the Audience Chamber Idol apply Gachiins Spiritfall get behind the spear enemy in the main hallway give them a deathblow, then loop around to kill the second spear enemy in the room with the two archers. Note that you will need to knock down some doors every time you re-enter the area. Afterwards run outside to where you fought the Loneshadow and second Juzou encounter, sneak up behind the Ninja and give him a deathblow. Run back to the idol, rest, repeat. Each spear enemy gives about 2100 exp each and the Loneshadow gives about 2200 in NG+. Gachiins Spiritfall isn't necessary but obviously makes it easier for enemies to spot you.

Late game, after the divine dragon, in the Ashina castle, idol is warrior chamber or something like that (I'm playing in italian language) you can find a shinobi nearby that gives you 1052 exp and 145 sen per kill, a total of 235k exp per hour if you repeat the process

Submit

what happens after lvl127? can i not upgrade anymore?

Submit

Great area to farm XP is Senpou temple after getting Divine Abduction and Mortal blade. Starting from the first Idol and ending at the broken bridge where the two Spear Adepts are. Killing all the enemies from these two points will net you 2589 XP. Divine Abduction will make short work of all the Monks as it insta kills them. Infested monk is easy once you have mortal blade. Spear adepts are short work if puppeteer the first one and then watch him fight the other. And then the four warriors are easy kills.

Submit

endgame ashina outskirts staircase method (backtrack stealth killing the 5 guys and grappling back up to idol to rest and repeat) takes about 40 seconds per trip and nets over 8200xp per trip on NG+2. Would take probably 2-3 hours to grind out whatever remaining skills you need for the all skills achievement at this spot on third playthrough and considering it'd prob take at least that long casually to get here on a higher NG+ I'd say third playthrough's prob the earliest you should consider grinding xp to unlock skills you don't plan on ever using.

Submit

Just thought I'd put this here because nobody did the math for it, if you want to max out your attack and get every skill it will cost you 550 skill points

Submit

The area right after obtaining the mortal blade, can’t think of the name but easy 1000 xp every 45 seconds. Kill the guards outside the temple with stealth for extra scrap metal, coin bags, etc.

Submit

Best mid game spot is at ashina depths mibu village idol sneak up on purple ninja deathblow then repeat

Submit

Best XP grinding spot I've found (better than fire-stairway) also requires non-shura ending: Antechamber, kill the Purple Ninja, Drop down to the wooden beam and Idol back. The Ogre (you must not have killed him) is going to kill the 2 red guys while you're using the Idol (looking down ALWAYS killed both for me). NG+3 ~14k xp per run, only problem is the loading screen.

Submit

From my personal experience, the fastest way to farm seems to be from the Mibu Manor idol. Just run through, one-shot each of the nobles, quickly kill the Samurai, and profit big time. It's also fantastic for money farming at the same time.

Submit

Best farming spot is the spear guy at the estate when you kill the drunk guy for a second time. On NG I was getting 1700 XP and about 500 Sen, also dropped loads of coin bags and materials too. Easy backstab and the idol (the one on the way to where lady butterfly was) is right next to him.

Submit

Best and most low effort farming spot is Upper Tower - Antechamber (SPOILER) after you defeat the Divine Dragon. Kill the purple ninja and reset. Destroy all the walls after your first kill, it's faster than running all the way around. If you mess up and have to fight him, you can either just use your hidden tooth to quick die or spam your sen throw up close to break posture.

Submit

I heard that enemies and bosses are scaling with your strength. is that true?

Submit

does this mean that there is a limit of total 63 skill points you can gain in the whole game? this would mean that you can never reach a strength of 99 AND all skills together...

Submit

I found the best grinding point for me on ng+2 it gives me about 9900 xp in less than a minute WITH the kuro charm so you could earn more if you gave it away. After the red guards come and invade Ashina castle, , there will be a chained Ogre in the center room down, dont kill him. Instead spawn at the Old Grave bonfire and go up the bridge and kill the spear guy who is praying that will net you 1823xp. Then jump in the water and swim across and grapple up the platform to sneak behind the red guard that is waiting to attack you from the corner. This gives 2707 XP. Then you should have unlocked the door to the right which leads to the Ogre. Just go by the front and aggro the Ogre which will try break free but then there are 2 red guards in the room that will try attack the Ogre. As soon as the Ogre breaks free and those 2 red guards are around him they will die instantly, giving you 5404 xp. Repeat.

Best farming spot is definitely Flower Viewing Stage in Fountainhead Palace, just avoid the nobles playing the flute cus you know what happens if they get you

Submit

Another great EXP farming spot, that is about as good as the endgame Ashina Outskirts Stairway (killing the 5 nearest enemies and then resetting) in terms of exp to time ratio, and can also be accessed a little earlier, is at Fountainhead Palace - Flower Viewing Stage. I've done some testing, and was able to consistently run the farming route in roughly 71 seconds, and getting 10095 EXP for each run (That is in NG+, the rate in NG should still be as good, just with less EXP), ending up at about 142 EXP per second, which is just a little less than you would get at Outskirts. Here's a guide for the run: You start at the Flower Viewing Stage idol, turn back form the bridge, and kill the noble right past the gate ( I'd advise to use charged running attacks instead of a deathblow backstab, because it saves time). Then run at the next noble in view, slap him once so he can be deathblowed, but instead use the vault over skill to backstab him and activate the bloodsmoke ninjutsu, allowing an easy backstab on the spear wielding enemy to the left. Immediately pop Gachiin's Spiritfall (Candy should be avoided since they are limited) and head straight up the wooden stairs, towards the wall with a hole in the floor next to it. Move ahead, PAST the bridge, and then turn left to stealthblow the noble near the 2 samurai enemies. Use bloodsmoke on the noble, and then again on the 1st samurai, saving more time by stealth killing all 3 of them. Now when facing the wall they were standing at, head LEFT, around the corner and inside the building killing the noble inside. Head back out and further down the hallway and you should see the next noble through a wooden grid wall. take a right to avoid being spotted by the enemies outside and one shot the noble on the bridge. if you look to your left you should see the next noble. Kill him and head back towards the bridge, but instead of going over it head all the way to the end til you hit the wall (You should not be spotted if your Gachiin. The next enemy to kill is a larger samurai sitting inside the building and can easily be stealth killed from behind if you enter the building from the back. The last noble is right ahead of you and can be dangerous if you don't rush him immediately, because he will start his 'aging' attack as soon as you killed the samurai, so look out for that. Homeward after this, and repeat.

you can never lose skill points from xp bar. if you collect 1 point, it won't go back to zero. keep this in mind if you're going to face a boss soon and where your xp is at.

Submit

I believe it's 124 skill points for the trophy. This should be double checked and added to this page.

Submit

Best XP grinding spot I've found is in Ashina Outskirts Stairway after Ashina has been caught on fire. I'm getting around 5500 XP every 30 seconds by quickly stealth killing the 5 guys. (XP scaled for 2nd playthrough)

Submit

This page will become unwieldy with all the skill points. I'm at around 38k for the next, still 30 points to complete all trees, none used for attack power. (NG+) Without farming I think you will complete the tree around NG+2 or even +3 depending on how it scales

Submit

I'm not sure what level I am, but skill points cost 24275 now. I recommend people plan out what skills they want far in advance. With the exception of High Monk, all of the final combat arts cost a lot of emblems to use and are thus not very rewarding. It would be better to put skills that would go towards those into other skills or into attack power with the mask, especially considering we cannot re-spec at the moment. Poor planning will render NG+s very difficult because you won't be able to increase attack power with any kind of ease.

Submit

Can we reset the skillpoints?

Submit

Is 30 skill points the limit you can gain per playthrough?

Submit

After a while, ghost enemies seems to appear in old places, usually dead ends or in dark areas, they all give about +620 XP and are quite tough (Ashina castle and above tier) in terms of skills.

Submit

can you reset skills, in the same aspect of resetting stats in Dark Souls 3 re-specking builds?
