Here Be Monsters Best Ways to Earn EXP
To level up fast in Here Be Monsters, there are a couple of ways available to you. Pretty much all of the actions in the game will generate some EXP, however some methods are better than the others depending on where you are in the game.
Level 1~25: At this stage the best way to level up is by foraging through all of the trees including bushes and fruit trees. Hop from one location to another, collect from all of the trees. You can either use all of those fruits on yourself to replenish the lost energy, or you can consider farm Potatos and bake them for energy use. You can sell the berries or fruits that give you only 1 energy to save yourself the trouble of massive clicking. Foraging is one of the most straight forward and nonhassle way to level up.
Level 10+: During this stage, you should build your production buildings such as the camp fire, laboratory, and the workshop. Your goal is to keep these things functional at all times. One of the best and easiest way is to plant potatoes and use them. You can use the following recipes to keep all of your buildings working at all times:
Campfire – Roasted Potatoes. The Potatoes have really quick grow time. You can set it up so that your campfire can work on producing thousands of roasted potatoes quite easily throughout the game. While at the same time free up the farm plots for you to grow higher level crops. While waiting for the roasted potatoes to complete, switch off your focus to other high level crops.
Laboratory – When you do not have anything brewing inside the laboatory, a good way to keep things repeating the following recipes: Creep Vine <-> Creeping Ooze. You can change them back and forth to keep your labs working for your EXP at all times. However, this method does not really generate that much EXP for leveling up in Here Be Monsters.
Workshop – You should have plenty of opportunity to keep your workshop working all the time. The Workshop can be used to produce juice which makes your foraged fruits more efficient and effective. In addition, you will use the workshop to cut all the rough jewels into polished cut ones. If you do have some spare workshop time, consider making your foraged fruits into juices to lessen the numbers of your clicks.
Windmill – The Windmill can be used to make Sugar and sunflower oil which can be used for higher level campfire food productions. Plant enough sugarcane and sunflowers to keep your windmill operating at 100% capacity at all times.
Level 30+ – At the time of writing, the best way to level up fast is through smart fishing. Some of the best way to earn EXP through fishing is by having black lures and fish in Blacktip Reef Shark spots. Some other good fish include yabbie baits. However, fishing does require some more strategy and concentrations compared to other forms of grinding in Here Be Monsters.
Other EXP Considerations:
Monster Trapping: You can earn very little amount of EXP in monster trapping compared to other activities.
Complete Quests: Every quests will give you some EXP rewards when complete. They are also important to guide you through the game and leave various aspects. However, we would recommend for you to power level your character through foraging up to level 25 before starting quests. At higher level you will have much higher energy tank and backpack capacity to function efficiently.
Homestead Actions: The majority of the actions that you can do in your homestead will reward you 1 xp per energy. This include seeding and harvesting your crops, and tend to your animals or trees.
Here Be Monsters Best Ways to Make Money
The best way to make money at the moment in Here Be Monsters is through mining and fishing. At early levels you want to make as much coins as you can to unlock the high capacity backpacks as well as expand your homestead to the fullest. With expanded homestead, you have the ability to produce more resources and help you gain levels even faster.
Use our Here Be Monsters Mine Location Map to help you locate all of the good mining places in the game. The easiest and hassle free way to make a ton of coins in the game is to grind out the various precious jewel mines in the game. Put them into the Workshop to grind out cut jewels while you sleep or tend to other work or games.
The second good method is the same as leveling up fast in Here Be Monsters. You can gain lots of coins within a short period of time if you fish at the right spots. However, these spots usually require you to be higher level to have enough energy to do the expedition.
Although you can make coins through other methods such as farming or foraging, they really pale in comparison to the above two methods. However, always leave your traps working for you because it never hurts to have some additional free coins generated through your traps.
Lastly, you can always purchase coins with banknotes but that is a bad investment of your money.
Special Notes About Time Potions
The Time Potions can be quite powerful to help boost your coin making and leveling speed. You should always have some time left on your Time Potion counters. We will go over some of the ways for you to obtain more time potion. When used properly, time potion can help you budget your time better. So that you can always have something working in your production buildings.
The time potion can be used to:
Speed up growth rate
