The focal point of progression in Game of Thrones: Kingsroad is leveling up as it aids in unlocking high-tier items, stronger skills, and powerful traits. Whether you are new to Westeros or an experienced adventurer trying to hit the level cap, understanding how to earn EXP is critical to becoming a true champion of winter.  

How Does Leveling Work in Kingsroad?  

Unlike many other RPGs, Game of Thrones: Kingsroad features an auto-leveling system. As long as you are earning EXP, your character will level up without needing to go to a menu or trainer, making the process entirely seamless. Leveling up also increases your Momentum stat and boosts your overall power, unlocking new Traits and Skill upgrades. Currently this figure is capped at 45, though future patches may raise this limit.

Fastest Ways to Level Up in Game of Thrones: Kingsroad

Leveling quickly requires a strategic focus on activities that grant the most EXP. Here's what to prioritize:

1. Complete Main and Side Quests

Quests serve as your main source of experience points. In particular the main story quests which reward you with EXP after every major battle or narrative progress.

• You can preview the EXP reward for each quest in the map or quests menu.
• Don’t skip side quests, they often provide a hefty EXP bonus with minimal effort.

2. Clear Bandit Camps

Bandit camps appear throughout the map and grant a good amount of EXP once fully cleared. Just be sure to open the loot chest at the end your rewards won’t be granted until you do.

3. Fight Bosses in the Altar of Memories

Found in Winterfell’s Godswood, the Altar of Memories lets you fight past bosses in co-op mode. These battles reward both loot and EXP, and can be repeated, making them ideal for grinding.

• Echoes of the Past (Weirwood trees) offer similar benefits and refresh on a timer, allowing for repeated runs.

4. Slay Regular Creatures

While regular human enemies don’t give EXP, wolves and certain wild creatures do, albeit in small amounts. If you’re traveling between locations or waiting for quests to reset, hunting animals can offer a minor XP boost over time.

5. Defeat Free-Roam Bosses

Some high-level enemies appear in the open world during your travels. Beating these bosses can provide bonus EXP and rare drops, so take them on whenever you’re properly geared.

Leveling up fast in Game of Thrones: Kingsroad is all about focusing on high-yield EXP sources like quests and boss fights, while taking advantage of timed content like Echoes of the Past. Although traditional EXP farming isn’t viable, smart use of available resources will push you to max level in no time.
