At the beginning of Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, it's important for players to quickly earn experience (XP) to upgrade skills, improve equipment, and make it easier to defeat tough enemies. There are several proven locations for effective XP farming in the early stages.

One of the best spots is a cave near the Rebel Camp, which can be found in Chapter Two. This area is home to a tree-like monster that grants around 2,000 XP upon defeat. A major advantage is the nearby checkpoint — this allows you to quickly respawn the enemy by activating the checkpoint and repeatedly gain XP.

Another efficient farming location is in the eastern part of the Shu Sanctum zone, particularly in the area called Worship’s Rise. Here, tightly packed groups of enemies frequently appear, which not only grant a significant amount of XP but also have a chance to drop rare materials, including Red Mercury — a resource needed for character upgrades.

Some players and guides mention that with the right strategy, you can farm over 5,000 XP per minute in this zone. The method involves clearing the area of enemies, returning to the checkpoint to reset their spawn, and repeating the process.

For maximum efficiency, it's recommended to start with the tree-monster cave in Chapter Two. This is the fastest way to gain consistent XP with minimal effort. As you progress further in the story, you should transition to Worship’s Rise for large-scale farming and additional resources.

In the early game, these two locations are the best options for leveling up in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. They provide steady progress without the need for long and dangerous journeys across the map.
