Returned after landing in palace, at level 20, received 289 XP. Returned during (& after) Lotus Assassin Fortress, at levels 18-19, received 161 XP. "The Mother" must be left alive to retain respawns. If the player remains in the forest, the extra XP is not seen, only 86 XP. Higher is better, but level 18 is the earliest that I have noticed a large increase. Multiple variables are affecting the respawn XP: Necropolis Respawns: 29 XP (also varies, but respawns are discontinued later). Location: Tien's Landing > Ru's barge to pirates > Gao's Treasure Room.įorest Respawns: 86 XP (variable, depending upon gem, revisit, level, locations visited) High level characters (~30) will receive ~15,000 XP from various scrolls. The only way I've found to reliably level a character, prior to using scrolls, is to kill respawns within the forest, see further below for details.Īt character level 6, reading a scroll provides 297 XPĪt character level 19, reading the same scroll provides 1,542 XP. Also, the Black Leopard school must be kept open for two of them, if playing CF OP will retain access to the school, but needs to read the ship's scroll before flooding the valley. Up to 30 Scroll Stands can be saved if playing Closed Fist (only 29 for OP), just leave the one on the ship alone, since it can't sail away with a broken dam. It is actually based upon total XP earned during a playthrough, so it is best to save the stands until the last possible moment, after all other XP sources are exhausted.
The higher a character's level, the more XP that is gained from stands.
