The daily chores are actually something I enjoy in the game. You'll always have something to do. But at early game I seem to never have something to do before I learn wooden foundations, walls, ect.

Cloth Hats are quick XP in the very early game. Though you don't get anything useful out of it, making spears a more popular choice.

 

Kill turtles with spears. Even a high level turtle can be killed this way if you keep backing up. Just don't back into something worse.

Make cloth hats. Excellent way to level up until you can make the thatch foundation. Also the spear (both of these were mentioned, but this is what I do).

Next I make narcotic (unlocked at level 5). Then cooking pots (unlocked at level 10). Then rafts (unlocked at level 15).

(What the heck! Why do people respond to 6 month old posts? Got me going  )

Lol, I didn't even notice the date... Someone else revived the post first, so it was on the front page.

Whenever I join a server I never manage to make it past level five out of pure boredom.

If you can't get past Lvl 5 without being bored then no suggestion in the world is going to help you, you're playing the wrong game.

If you have the Scorched earth dlc it helps a lot imo. If I were just starting out. I would immediately tame a low level berry gathering Dino like a Morellatops and begin gathering to craft narcotics until level 20. Once you can make a forge I would gather metal to buy myself a nice Rex. A lot of people have Rex for sale and they are fairly cheap even for someone just starting out. With the Rex you can go out to the blue obelisk corner of the Scorched Earth map and kill death worms to level yourself up to 80 within a few hours. If you don't want to go the route of buying Dino's you can always get your fire arrows at level 25 and take those with some oil jars out on your Morella and kill death worms. There are a few videos out showing how to do this method, it is not hard but bring sleeping bags in case something goes wrong. Buying a Rex is obviously the much easier method.

i play on official and i hust played the game and wenr up to 68 in 2 or 3 days. building and crafting narcotics.

[Samammo]

As a lot of the others have said, this probably isn't the game for you.

theres a lot of grinding involved in ark, and it never really stops.

maybe play on an unofficial server or single player, and just have the xp rates and gathering rates turned right up

[TheNarcoberry]

Just asking if any of you guys know, because most people are better then me at ark. How do u lvl up faster.

[TheNarcoberry]

just crafting, i guess

1000000% fastest way Deathworm!

Hello TheNarcoberry,

For XP I suggest killing Alpha creatures, Wyverns, and Deathworms as they give the most XP and they are not that hard to find.

That is actually a really good point, we need something before wood tier, that can satisfy any new player... Good point

Lol no wood unlocks at level 5,  by the time I spawn,  pick some berries,  make a pick and a hatchet,  make a few spears and some clothes I'm already past level 5, after that you always need hide,  you need hide for a mortar and pestle and a raft and a trike saddle so you need to go killing stuff for hide,  I usually knock a trike out when I unlock sling shot and then go on a hide raise while it tames,  by the time the trike is up you should have enough hide and level for a raft, build a raft,  make a mortar and pestle and use your new trike to farm narcos,  you should hit stone tier by then and can make your raft stone,  the exp off building the stone will level you high enough to get a decent mount and unlock the saddle,  I usually go for a high level frog as it's early saddle it's mega mobile and can farm Cp for you,  it will collect loads of meat and get mad xp from killing flies in the swamp, but a bear or sabre or Wolf will do just as good,  run round on that and kill some stuff,  while you tame dodos and a phomia and build a few medium crop plots so you can get your carrots for a kibble ptera tomorrow,  if your bored by then the games not for you, I usually find I am leveling quicker than I can achieve my goals and not waiting to level up before I can do the next step,  there is loads to do on this game at an early level. If you can't think what to do next,  make narcos or build spike walls and gates to put around the perimeter of your Base

Build build build. Amass a large amount of resources i.e. Wood, Stone, Thatch and then build walls, ceilings and foundations. Get cementing paste from dams and make pillars. Build until you have a few wonderful buildings and watch your lvls fly up when making the walls etc.

[Irk]

Rafts. I swear by this method. Grab a beaver and bear, and farm as much wood, fiber and hide as you can. Then craft a million rafts. If you have tribe mates that'll help, they can stand around and get some shared exp. You get 187.5 exp per raft.

You can also fill a grinder full of stone and let it grind away while you're doing this. Alpha's offer a lot of exp, but on an official server you might have a lot of competition; the downtime could hinder your exp gain.

[TranqRex]

Depends on your level?

If starting out, just gather/craft/kill stuff.

If you're a higher level and have the means, kill alpha's, use a grinder, etc.

Use an Evo event weekend in any of the above and it'll be way faster. For example, a tribe member went from 1 to early 40s this weekend alone and he wasn't even online for a huge amount of time.

[Harrist14]

Nah. Explorer notes to start. I leveled an alt from 1-67 in less than an hour the other day. You can get to 75 or so with them, more if it's on 2x.

It's funny that your name is narco berry because that's the fastest easiest way to level up,  grind loads of narcotics. 

[Baton]

building + grinder

[London1234]

Using a grinder and killing things 

[bigfishrob]

2x weekend, get somebody to let you get last hit on a titan kill, xp pot. 72 levels at one time.

[HalfSlabBacon]

All these suggestions are really solid. For fastest xp combine them... I usually have narcotics, stimulants & gunpowder crafting non stop while I build a massive base. Bonus is the huge surplus of materials for taming/caving etc when you're done!

Ill be honest, I usually just kite the buggars off a cliff into the water - never tried killing them... but 72 lvls? I dont see that as viable.

X2 + golden egg+ dos box+ Broth of Enlightenment 
My mate did lvl from 1-100 in 2h on scorch

[warmachine4399]

join a tribe, craft stuff, and kill stuff

[ChargingParacerParacer]

Always Be Crafting, and narcotics and gunpowder is always nice to have. i also agree with people saying  if you have the means then alpha hunt. If you aren't quite able to yet the Redwood and snow biomes always have enough enemies for a steady flow of XP.
