WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Level Traits with XP and Tomes of Knowledge
Campaign and Adventure areas, including the cited Corsus and Yaesha exploration routes; spend points through the character trait menu.
Before you go
- Unlock the trait menu through campaign progression.
- Have areas available to explore and enemies or objectives to complete.
- Decide which traits support your current weapon and survival needs.
Farming steps
- Enter a Campaign or Adventure area that you are already progressing through.
- Clear enemy groups and complete objectives to gain XP.
- Check side paths and rooms for a glowing Tome of Knowledge.
- Collect each Tome you find before leaving the area.
- Open the trait menu and review the available Trait Points.
- Spend points on traits that improve your current build or address a weakness.
- Continue to the next area, repeating the XP and Tome search as you progress.
- Elder Knowledge and Sagestone can add XP bonuses when available to your character.
- Story progression provides varied objectives while you earn XP; do not skip useful exploration solely to grind enemies.
Repeat, collect and use
XP accumulation is repeatable through play, while Tome locations depend on randomized areas and are collected when encountered; continue exploring for more opportunities.
Common mistakes
- Leaving a Tome behind: scan side spaces before exiting an area.
- Spending points without considering your build: prioritize traits that help the gear you use.
- Expecting a Tome in every area: use ordinary XP from combat and objectives as the continuing source.
When to stop or switch
Stop focused trait farming once the next planned trait investment is reached; return to normal progression and gather more XP naturally.
