Known Leveling Exploits
Bear Farming Exploit
There is an exploit that has fast infinite spawning bears! You can head to the Lodestone Lair, in Monarch's Bluff to find a cave with infinite spawning Lodestone Bears. The bears will be level 25 so keep that in mind when going for this exploit. We recommend you join a group to make it much easier, and if you are under-leveled you can still level up your Tracking & Skinning by skinning the corpses!
Boar Farming Exploit
There is a spot where Boars will infinitely spawn constantly, allowing you to continuously farm them! You can find it in the Restless Shore region. There is a point of interest called Boarsholm near the northern border where the boars will be constantly spawning. The boars will be level 40 so we recommend you your level to be as close as possible to avoid getting killed.
Just like for the bear farming exploit, we recommend you farm them in a group to make it easier.
How To Level Up Fast
Always Do Town Board Missions
One of the fastest ways to level up in New World is to always accept Town Board Missions whenever you can as it rewards you with a ton of EXP per completion. They can range from bringing a no. of resources to hunting certain no. animals.
Keep in mind that you are only allowed to take 3 missions at a time and you'll have to wait until the Town Board refreshes to get more, so always make sure to complete the mission with the highest EXP reward first so that it doesn't expire when the reset happens.
Buy Resources from Trading Posts
The Town Board Missions with bringing x amount of items/resources is one of the easiest and fastest ones to complete for easy EXP. You can simply buy the resources or materials needed and craft them to complete the objective.
Participate in Faction Missions
If you completed all the missions in the Town Board way too early and have a lot of time in your hands before the refresh, doing Faction Missions is a good way to spend your time to maximize the amount of EXP you get.
You also get faction tokens, which you can exchange for equipment and items in the faction shop.
Partake in Expeditions
Another way of leveling your character fast is to do Expeditions with other people. Not only will you get rewarded with EXP but also rare and powerful items that will help you progress quickly throughout the game.
Farm Red Landmarks With a Group
Be on the lookout for Landmarks that have a fiery red symbol on them. There are several dangerous enemies inside these landmarks, but they offer a generous amount of exp when killed, especially if you pull mobs in great numbers. Aside from that, you are also rewarded with chests containing a lot of loot inside.
Before heading into one, make sure to set up camp and set it as your respawn point. It is recommended that you take on these zones with at least 5 people. Everyone should be well equipped with a proper team composition, complete with a Tank, DPS, and a Healer. Make sure to only pull mobs that your party can handle, or else there's a chance of being wiped.
Prioritize EXP Bonuses
Taking the EXP Bonus every time it appears as a reward for your Territory Standing Rank Rewards is not the best choice as it does not scale very well. But getting it when there are no better options will provide you some benefit.
Make sure you're doing the missions inside the territory where the bonuses are.
Make sure to Log Off at a Settlement
Logging off at a settlement for a while will give your character a Rest Bonus when you log back in. This will give an extra EXP whenever you do something to gain it. Make sure that when you are logging off that you are in a settlement to get the most of your EXP grinding when you come back!
How To Level Crafting And Trade Skills Fast Pt.1
Mining
Prioritize Getting Iron Tools or Better
Choose the Gathering Speed Bonus
Keep Mining Iron, Silver, and Gold During Early Game
Start Mining Alchemy Stones At Level 50
Clear Out Enemies Before You Mine NodesMining can be leveled up quickly by mining Iron, Silver, and Gold Veins in the early game. Iron and Silver are abundant with the former having the most nodes that are easy to find. Getting Iron and better pickaxes will decrease the gathering time, with the Gathering speed Territory Standing bonus from further lowering the time it will take for you to mine these nodes.
Once you hit Mining Level 50, it is best to start mining Alchemy Stones as well. These will provide you more EXP as the amount from Iron, Silver, and Gold Veins will not be enough.
Logging

Upgrade your Logging Axe from Flint
Choose the Gathering Speed Bonus
Start Gathering Mature Trees at Level 50 Logging
Chop Wyrdwood and Ironwood Trees Once You Unlock ThemLogging can be leveled up quickly by cutting down trees fast. Using an Axe better than the Flint one you get early on will make cutting down Young Trees much faster, combine it with the Gathering speed Territory Standing bonus to be as fast as possible. Because you will be cutting a lot of trees down to level up you will want to do it near a settlement as you can end up being encumbered fast if you hold onto the logs.
Once you reach certain levels you will unlock the ability to cut down new trees. You will want to start cutting these trees down as the Young Tree you start with will not give enough EXP by then.

Once you unlock the higher tier harvesting nodes like Silkweed and Wirefiber, you will want to start farming those as they will give more EXP.
Tracking & Skinning
Use Iron Skinning Knives or Better
Use a Bow or Musket for Hunting
Hunt Prey and Farm Animals in the Early Game
Hunt Predators for High EXP and Territory StandingLeveling up Tracking and Skinning will require you to hunt and skin wild animals, from harmless prey to dangerous predators. Having a high-tier skinning knife will make the skinning much quicker. If you are not leveled high or have weak equipment at the moment, it is faster to focus on prey (e.g., Rabbits, Boars, and Elk) and farm animals (e.g., Cows and Pigs) as they are weaker and mostly won't fight back.
Once you have better equipment you will want to hunt predators like Wolves and Lynxes. They will give more of a fight but will provide much more EXP.
Fishing
Craft a Fishing Pole and Catch Fish
Upgrade Your Fishing Poles
Use Different Kinds of Bait for Fishing BonusesLeveling up fishing will have you using fishing poles at bodies of water and catching fish.
