*Corrections:*
1. Early game do not put points into heavy armor until you are ready to make and wear it. This influences chance to drop armor books and I have no idea if the chance stacks. It looks like it may. Just putting points into any main category so for example Strength will increase chance of finding armor books.
2. *Do not* put a point into Advanced Engineering put it into *lockpicking* instead. Advanced Engineering also gives a chance to find trap, electric and build tool magazines and lockpicking only adds Great Heist and Workstations. So it is a better option.
3. The boots. Looks like these are not important. I misinterpreted what I was reading. Looks like they only give stamina regen only when running. So with maxed out miner 69'er and the ergonomic grip you will regen stamina faster than you can spend it mining. So use whatever boots you want.

These are the only discrepancies people have pointed out so far that are actually factual. I am verifying claims by looking at the actual XML files. I am very sorry for these mistakes. I do my best but I'm not perfect. Thank you to the people who caught them.

Tip to level fast = Step 1. Have top tier gear already. Hmm...

[zimzim]

So in order to lvl fast, you already have to be leveled up and have end game gear...
Didn't think this one thru did you?

[chriswells]

I made it 28 seconds and bounced. By the time you have this gear, what's the point of level grinding? Just play, vibe, and the levels will come on their own.

[realjoecast]

should be titled, how to get fast xp when you really don't "need" it any more. get a nail gun and upgrade your base blocks with an elixir. going from frame to to concrete is a lot. doing it over night is sweet.
EDIT: still some sweet info worth the watch.

[snootchie]

Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun....
What's that sound?
You don't know about the Nerf engine? It's the sound of TFP going into battle.
They say not a single fun thing has heard it and survived.

better way to get exp early game? screamers. build a cheese base and then screamers. mining is good for late game but also add the screamers. also scavenging is good exp, and its good for screamers. go to a poi and take everything apart, and get screamers. you know, you can also just stand and stare at the sun and screamers.

My best leveling way but needs a higher level setup are horde nights and I usually set them more frequent like every 3 days and max the zombie settings. My best setup has been a room with blade traps on floors and ceilings and wire from the sides as I sit behind and shoot the zombies. With learning elixirs, nerd head, xp mod, 75% trap xp from electrical perk etc this gave me roughly one level per in game hour after the 180k xp cap so it's usually 6 levels per horde night after roughly 1k zombie kills. I get that upping the hn time for farming xp can be thought of as cheesy but it's fun to me so I do it.

[streblo]

Also Mother Lode does increase your experience gain. Base experience gain is 420 per, 466 if you drink coffee with Art of Mining Vol 3, and 502 if you drink a Learning Elixir while it caps at 575 for both. But with Mother Lode you get 450 as your base and Coffee makes you loose experience, and Learning Elixir gives you 614 per block mined. So I don't quite understand why you tell them not to take Mother Lode as that +30 xp, and +100% additional materials without a learning elixir or +94 xp and still +100% additional materials is huge.

Its so weird having played this game for years and all the sudden seeing a ton of YouTubers that rarely or never cover it start releasing videos for it.

If any new players are reading this, you're going to ruin the game for yourself if you worry about XP all the time. XP is not a huge deal in this game, just invest early skill points in combat skills and you'll be fine. 7days is more about the journey than anything else, if you go and farm XP until your eyes bleed you'll miss out on a lot and you'll go do a few of the tougher POI's and then you'll get bored. Unless you're on a pvp server I would just take it easy, experience as many POI's as you can, and as long as you're frequently fighting zombies the XP will come quickly enough. But like I said, pvp is a different story 😂

Biker Boots reduce melee stamina use (including pickaxe), while lumberjacks only reduce while running.

[GinSoakedBrain]

Fast leveling isn't always a good thing. Your game state increase and you very well can outpace your crafting abilities. So you could be running pipe weapons against radiated zombies quick. Be careful.

[leenomedal-lafon]

So funny.. In order to 'get yourself' all these Tier 6 tools, you are probably already into the fourth week of the game in order to even acquire the legendary items. At this point, I think you probably have done most of the leveling that is needed.

[jimbodee]

Very comprehensive guide, also useful to point out the flaws of going off your path.

[scubasteve]

At the point where I have all of that gear, I’m pretty much bored of the game and starting another.

[IsThatDrak]

its a good guide, the only propblem is once you have all these things you dont need to level anymore lol i LOVE 7 days, but by the time i have tier 5 or 6 gear the game is mind numbly easy, your basically immortal and 1-2 shot most zombies. i hoped 1.0 would come with more endgame stuff to do but maybe later, figers crossed

and they need to boost kill XP, mining has always been the fastest way to level and thasts stupid, i would go out clearing multiple tier 5 POIs come home to a friend double my level from just minding a bloody tunnel with no risk challenge and barely any effort.

[BChuckVT]

While this is true, I wouldnt recommend grinding out xp as fast as you can. The size of the horde is based heavily on your gamestage and lvl. So if you just grind xp, youre gonna have a high lvl horde with a mediocre base, weapons and ammo. So if youre gaining xp, make it worth it.

That really only applies if you're playing solo though. This is great if you're playing with a group, because you can rely on others to get the books, weapons and ammo!

[Zonker]

Also, according to the info, adding points into Heavy Armor shouldn't influence what books drop. It states 'attributes' opposed to Heavy or Light Armor skills... so, what should affect your Armored Up magazine drops is Strength and Agility, not the underlying skills.

[apiscator]

SO PRETTY MAXED EXP BEFORE YOU CAN AFFORD ALL THIS. 😢

[selectaproductions]

So basically get everything to the point you dont need xp
