Starfield EARLY XP FARM With Your Starship Xbox & PC (Level Up CRAY FAST No Outpost Required)

[@INMATE2468]

An exploitless xp farm. I love it. Other farms just break the immersion. This one is legitimately part of the game

[@realityaskew]

This isn't really an exploit, it's more of a strategy, which I think is better.

[@steriopticon2687]

Exactly. Much more immersive.

[@Ka_Wouter]

It is an exploit. It’s exploiting a intended feature/mechanic. Exploiting is not necessarily a bad thing, it just depends on what you’re exploiting.

[@urxtoxicxface1]

Well I feel like not really having a negative consequence for easily changing the difficulty is an exploit. Thus allowing you to go up against high level enemies that on normal or higher difficulty, most would struggle.

[@kevincolombo2327]

I think it's funny people use exploits in this game, it so easy to make credits.

[@sanguinesomnambulist]

Starfield is my first Bethesda game and I'm really not wanting to continue because of the grind and the frequent breaks in immersion. I've also tried some of the more annoying XP/credit farm strategies and hated how tedious they were. This strategy may convince me to keep going, thank you. Since it, know, actually involves playing the game lol

[@arklainquirk]

Just put 6 of the Vanguard Obliterator Autoprojector's on your ship and you will destroy everything in your path! They do 11 damage to shields and armor and have a high rate of fire making their dps insane! They also have one of the longest ranges so you can start shooting and hitting enemy's before they can hit you! They are easy to get, and you only have to do a few of the Vanguard missions to get access to them.

[@circuitscore]

Thanks for the suggestion! Ill have to do a few Vanguard missions here shortly.

[@panpiper]

I completely agree. Six Vanguard Obliterator Autoprojectors are BY FAR the best possible weapon set, regardless of level. You don't want anything else. (Later, you might want to add an EM weapon bank for capturing ships more easily.) By the way, you only have to do the very first mission to unlock the Vanguard Obliterator Autoprojectors, if my memory serves.

[@keithbryancwong1837]

Tottally agree. Only issue with them is they take down enemy ships so fast if you're not careful they'll blow up the ship that you are trying to capture.

[@bane-980]

Yes 6 of these weapons produce the second highest dps in the game. 1st being the class B 4x PBO-175 Auto Helion Beam

[@kalancosta7650]

@@circuitscoreyou only need to do the first mission “grunt work” and you get access to them

[@mackeysasser420]

If u get a little bored of the ships. Serpentis 3 has some animals thatt u can farm for xp also. Just running around there with a companion is a good little ship break.

[@circuitscore]

Oh good thinking! I've been on Serpentis 2 a lot will check out 3 as well!

[@FcoEnriquePerez]

Just use particle beams and lasers, beams are OP, or beams and suppressors if you wanna board ships. For 3rd weapon maybe add a turret pointing backwards for when you are getting tailed and use it with low power.

[@stuartd6359]

I built an outpost in Serpentis IV, it’s got plenty of aliens to kill for XP while down on the planet. If you create a landing pad with shipbuilder option it’s a nice place to just chill, upgrade your ships then test them against the Va’Ruun ships in the local system. Try different builds and see how well they do in combat. Good fun.

[@rickyricardo4331]

Yet another great multi-functional xp farm. I use this one to also farm numbers for upping ship and pilot skills, the husbandry one for weapon skills, the outpost one for credits (trade for ammo mainly), and the abandoned station ones for everything else. Went from 45 to 100 with my playstyle skills maxed out in a single night. Thanks!!

[@mvhuber]

I am glad somebody posted this. This is the way I leveled up my shipboard skills. Even on Very Difficult (my setting), this was a great way to level up.

[@kameronkelly7007]

Thank you for this lol way better than an outpost set up!

[@rparavicini]

Serpentis is great for A class ship farming. Dirge III has the most powerful Class A reactor (33 Power), the third best Class A shield generator (730 shield), and 4 of the strongest Class A engines (3220 Man Thrust). The only thing lacking is the Cargo, but that is easily fixed, as the most efficient cargo module are available right from the start. And the Dige II and I are also nothing to laugh about (23 and 20 power). Same goes for the Trebuchet ships, as they are identical to the Dirge (same for Revelation and Stormrider, just that there is no Revelation III).

[@circuitscore]

Thanks for the tip!

[@pete4656]

I found this out by accident myself within the first couple of days of playing, works a treat and the money and resources you get mount up really fast as well, I had to fit bigger cargo holds so I could collect more before having to return to the lodge to store/sell it all, (storage box in the lodge has infinite storage space).

[@Skyblade12]

The Vanguard Obliterator Autoprojectors are the best low level weapon in the game. They are A class, and you can fit six of them on your ship. They are the second best ship weapon in the game overall, behind only the PBO-Auto Helion Beam. They have no level requirement, you only have to complete the very first Vanguard quest that takes you to Tau Ceti. Since they are only locked by a single mission, that you can do as soon as you get to New Atlantis, just a bit of talking, they’re really easy to get, and they’re available at an incredibly low level overall. That mission also unlocks the Vanguard Hellion Autocannon, which is by far the best Ballistic ship weapon in the game (seriously, it has nearly double the burst DPS of the next best ballistic ship weapon). It’s a B class, but still good and open early. Oh, and they have the second best B class shield. Seriously, if you want to do anything with ships, it is worth doing that mission immediately. You save so much money in the long run by getting those good weapons on your ship immediately.

[@circuitscore]

I will have to complete the Vanguard missions. Thanks for the tip!

[@robertg5792]

This is discovering a quick spawn location. I will have to check this out. Thumbs up.

[@aonaran7571]

My dude, you sound like Jason Lee (this is a good thing). Also, cheers on the guide! Very helpful!

[@circuitscore]

I had to look up who that was 😂 Also no problem glad I could help!

[@UncleManuel]

The problem with Starfield is: there is sooooooo much stuff to do! I looked at the skill tree and counted: 5 categories, 82 skills with 4 ranks each --> this makes a total of 328 XP points you can spend... 😮😮 Btw: I'm currently at rank 32 and haven't even manage to level up "Ship Building" yet - because other stuff was more important. The grind is real! 😁😁

[@SteelDoesMyWill]

That's how they incentivize you to play New Game Plus (x 10). You'll never max out your skill tree in a single game, but you carry your skill points already earned into a new universe so you can build more each time.

[@circuitscore]

I know the feeling. Game is massive!!

[@warwarneverchanges4937]

This is a legit XP grind

[@MrEgg93]

This is great. I dont like exploits and this is far from an exploit. Its just fun! Thanks mate

[@circuitscore]

No problem! Thanks for watching!

[@n8_sh00ts8]

I think there's actually a better a tier gun at new Atlantis to use for this and it's the PBO 3300. And not the auto version. I don't know the damage is as high as the PBO 30s you used (I think they are though) but they never run out of energy. You can fire endlessly without a cool down period.

[@Saviorcomplex-j]

Low level 3300 disruptor beams not the autos. 4 of them and 4 of the pb30 non auto. Won’t ever have to worry about running out of ammo and waiting for recharge. And will sink anything and everything

[@circuitscore]

I will check that out. Thanks!

[@thehighgroundde1571]

​@@circuitscoreif you got time I think it would be cool to see a comparison which is the best for XP Farming

[@zacht678]

Works good with the starborn too. Like 675 per ship.

[@offensichtlichfabian]

piloting is easier in the venguard training simulator. just make sure you have 4 skillpoints. cause you can then enter tier c ships what would stuff easier. Also you will only level fast this way up to level 100. after that an outpost on a planet with hundreds of aliens will go faster.

[@joebeezy9471]

I ended up finding this system when I was trying to level up my ship weapons. I did exactly this. Just went from planet to planet and had no issues at all finding a fight.

[@stephd479]

Nice. Will definitely be trying this.

[@PatrickPaul1203]

Thank you, I’ve been looking for a place for a lot of space combat

[@circuitscore]

No problem!

[@vanveenmatt]

Better yet. Land on Serpentis IV. Shoot all the animals. There are some invisible giant grasshopper things called "pack clickbeetles". You get around 50 to 100 XP per kill. They really add up. Also, a planet in the Bel system, I believe Bel 1, also has a ton of animals with high XP points. That planet also has invisible animals.

[@marylinbradford8603]

I think the house va'run home planet is hidden around here or a mayor jump point to it because of the amount of guard ships. Even the system is named serpent sounding. To bad you can't join them . My opinion anyway. Great video keep up the nice work 👍

[@circuitscore]

Thank you!

[@bradfletcher5561]

My strat is slower but easier on low levels. Take the freestar(not sure if this helps with ranger rewards or not) and wanted traits. Take the bounty hunter background. 3 points in tech tree for free. Join the vanguard. Get the weapons Start to Join the rangers to get their mission board. Take all ship missions from rangers board and the one at hitching post on Akila. Grab a tier of scavenging for the credits. Then focus on piloting, shields, particle beams, and em(if you want to capture a few ships). Kill and loot all missions and head back to Akila to sell and repeat. On jemison if you jump boost up to the ledge on the left of the starport right before you hit the ramp there are mission boards closer than the viewport bar. Like i said its slower. But it keeps the new player closer to the safer systems and lets you take a break and go do a quest or two.

[@toddwesley3680]

To add to this if you compete the game first so you have the option to hop universes, you can bounty up every star system and add additional ships to blow up. I went from 26-58 ridiculously fast.

[@circuitscore]

Ill have to check that out. Thanks for the tip!

[@nolansprojects2840]

Another thing you can do is go into “very hard” mode, travel to one of those locations, and then after it loads, switch to “very easy”. This will make more legendary enemies spawn, increasing XP gains

Good Sir thank you so much for this 😊 I very much enjoy space combat it’s an excellent entertainment for me.

Is it fun? I think one of the biggest issues with this game is how weak the actual space flight in this game is.

[@circuitscore]

Yeah space battles are pretty fun. Space flight is decent in Starfield.

[@mbraden66]

The Disruptor 3320 Neutron Turret are what you should upgrade to when you have they chance. They have 3500 range and are autofire. So they will just shoot at whatever is in range.

[@circuitscore]

I will check that out! Thanks for the tip.

[@thehighgroundde1571]

I think it also helps when you are in a relationship in Starfield and drink some kind of special Tea or drink, then you get 15% XP Bonus from the Realtionship and additional +2% because of the drink for like 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the drink.This added to this Farming Method should get u massive XP gains.

[@circuitscore]

I knew I forgot to mention that in the video! Thanks for the tip.

[@teddybear0313]

for your character on Starfield, try going to either Neon, or the Red Mile to use the particle beam weapons there, in my opinion Akila City has the best class A, B and C weapons for ships, but this is me, some are level guarded, ALSO, some ship parts are only available at the manufacturer's hub location I have found ... be safe boss please

[@circuitscore]

Yeah later I came to the same conclusion that Akila is the best for a wide selection of the best early game weapons and ship upgrades.

[@dinovoldo544]

You can also get bigger lvl ships this way. Those (Ship Name) III has better parts than what you have on. They’ll also sell pretty well if you dock and take it.

[@luiskapel3020]

I have to ask - I am having a terrible time adjusting my Xbox controller to suit ship fights, seems to wander all over the place. Do you have specific settings you use for Look, Aim, and Sensitivity, or is it related to the type of ship you have and the weapons you have on it? Your advice would be appreciated.

[@circuitscore]

I do believe some ships are easier to fly than others. As for the settings the only change I made was inverting the Y Axis for piloting.

[@RedYeti2]

The vanguard beam weapons that only take 2 power each you can have 6 of then and they melt with those 4 disruptor beams

[@PizzaTime727]

Looks cool, definitely more fun than farming animalls as you said. Question though, why not board the last ship? Get more loot from inside? Maybe steal?

[@circuitscore]

I'll have to try this. Good for loot but not as fast to farm XP IMO.

[@PizzaTime727]

@@circuitscore Yeah, the process might not be as much in terms of exp, just more loot.

[@Soljie1969]

If enemies scarce after a while, you can travel to Sol and sleep on Venus for 6 hours and return . And oh, stop by Kryx on your back and forth you get a very good dog fight there with about 10 Crimson ships coming at you .

Thank you, man really, thank you.

[@circuitscore]

You're welcome!

[@NotBlackWolf]

I did this for early levels. But outposts are definitely the way to go for serious leveling. One run to Venus and then to my xp farm gets me 14,000 experience and that's not even that good outpost wise. Like the zoology farms are getting people thousands of xp per minute because no crafting time.

[@theonlysjc]

I know its not much but am I the only one that sleeps and drinks a tea for up to 17% xp boost?

[@CorporalChhin]

Hit the crimson fleet, the Key, at Kryx, with auto turrets if you want to blow ships up fast and then jump to the nearby moon, sleep 24hrs, and repeat

[@Rowgue51]

This is definitely a better xp grind than the outpost crafting or animal farm nonsense that completely breaks immersion. If you're going to use those methods then you may as well just use the console to cheat your levels. But you can get xp way faster than this by simply going to a high level planet relative to your own level that has a high concentration of fauna and farming the creatures. The only benefit of this method over that is that this method doesn't consume ammo. But by the time you're looking at doing xp farming it's likely at the point where you've finished all the major content in the game and you're just doing it to be able to fully flesh out a skill build so you can see just how effective a particular skill combo is. And at that point you should be swimming in ammo.

[@circuitscore]

100% agree. I really like this method because it actually in the game and not some glitch. Thanks for watching.

[@therandomotaku3851]

I usually just go there, blow up the tiny ships, board the large ones, kill everyone on board then loot em all for everything they have. Then once my cargo hold fills up, i just go ahead and sell everything.

If you change it to "very hard", teleport, wait for the loading screen, and then change to very easy, should't you be getting a really hard reward on very easy?

[@circuitscore]

Yeah I think so! I will test that out.

[@Rowgue51]

There is absolutely no point putting all those weapons on your ship. You don't have half the power you need to actually power them all. So unless you're dumping all available power into the specific weapon group you're using at that exact moment then they're not functioning at their full capacity. If you're splitting the available power between all three weapon groups and leaving it there then your weapons are only functioning at around 40-45% of their capacity and they drain faster and take forever to recharge. You're much better off sticking with only the amount of weapons you can actually fully power at all times.

[@circuitscore]

Good call! I'll have to find a better reactor.

[@hardcorehage]

i actually have a much better way of farming xp without spending a single credit. simply join the uc vanguard faction at the mast district and then follow the directions until u get to the flight simulator. enter that and destroy all ships i the sim until u t finished or destroyed then return to the control panel behind the seat and restart the simulator. a simple rinse and repeat of that and u can farm xp until u get bored. plus it helps towards ur piloting skill in order tom het those class B and C ships. just don’t finish the faction quest by checking ur exam results in the next room oneto and u should be fine. in fact don’t finish the quest at all, just use the simulator as need.

[@circuitscore]

That is an excellent idea! I didnt even think about going back to that simulator. Does it still give good XP at higher levels though? If I go to Serpentis I can typically get around 300-400 per ship.

[@elvampile]

i’m not entirely sure if u can go back, i have never tried but there is no harm in trying. ive only been farming xp for a short time becuz i stopped playing. i have invested much of my time playing so many games i sometimes get side tracked. but i would like to know if it is possible to return to the simulator after finishing the quest line.@@circuitscore
