There is plenty of different gear in the game which you can pick according to your playstyle. Some of it you will be able to get through completing quests and looting and some you will have to buy in the shop. Gear also requires a certain level, which means not everything will be able for use all the time. Here you can find the best tips on how to farm experience and gold faster to equip that gear you want in no time.

10. Salesman Ability

Upgrading the Salesman perk will allow you to earn more gold. You will get a 25% bonus on all animals loot and trinkets sold to merchants. For that reason, you should upgrade the skill as soon as possible, since in that case, you will be able to earn more money. The ability you can find in the Seer section and requires 2 ability points to be upgraded. Roam around the map and look for animals and loot, so you can sell goods to the merchants to make a fast profit.

9. Changing Helix Credit for Drachma

Helix Credit will allow you to purchase a variety of packs and bonuses in the online shop. Some things in-game you can only purchase with Helix Credit. The game gives you 200 Helix Credits after completing just a few main quests. Unfortunately, that’s all of the Helix Credits that the game will provide you for free. If you want to claim more of the credits, you will have to spend real money on them. The credit that is given by the game you can exchange for 2000 Drachma.

8. Hippodrome Races

Winning Hippodrome races is one of many ways of earning money and XP. They will be available once you discover Kanopos. Participating in the races in the Alexandria region will give you a real taste of Egyptian culture. This may not be the fastest and easiest way to farm, but it’s worth a shot. There are multiple races, and winning them will grant you Drachma and XP. You will be able to fight off the opponents during the races, but you will have to dodge their attacks as well if you want to win the race.

Each of the races will grant you 600 XP and bonus Drachma

7. Papyrus Puzzles

There are a lot of Papyrus Puzzles hidden around the desert. 25 to be more exact. Every puzzle will provide you with the riddle which you have to solve to collect the money. Each Puzzle solved will provide you with 300 Drachma. Try to use your knowledge to make some extra money. Puzzles can be tough and consume a lot of time. But for that, you will be highly rewarded. Considering that there are 25 puzzles, you will be able to make 7500 Drachma in total.

6. Loot Anything and Everything

Everyone that played grindy games knows that gold and XP are hidden all around the map. You can make quick Drachma on every step. If you have some extra time on your hands, you will be surprised how many XP and money you can encounter in the desert. Killing animals, looking for hidden treasure, bounty hunting are just some of the activities that will allow you to level up and make money. One tip: Don’t buy weapons in shops while low level, but rather use a weapon from loot since gear costs the same at the first and the last level.

Loot as much as you can.

5. Complete Side Quests

Side quests are a very important part of the game since they make the game experience much better. There are over 100 side quests all over the desert, each with the story behind it. They will help you to gain faster money and experience, which allows you to get better gear. When it comes to the gear, you will be able to claim some cool stuff by completing side quests, including bonus Drachma and XP, so you won’t have to spend any money at all.

4. Destroy Ptolemy Statues

You can find 19 Ptolemy statues around Egypt. Each of the statues you find, you will have to destroy to gain XP. Not all of them will grant you the same amount of XP. It can range between 150 XP and 450 XP per statue, depending on which one you destroyed. You should keep in mind that destroying these statues in front of guards makes you Wanted, so you will have to be careful while doing it. Farming XP this way requires a lot of roaming around the map, but it’s an easy way to help you level up.

3. Complete Locations

Discovering and completing locations will grant you decent XP and profit. To complete the location, you have to solve every possible quest in that area. That includes chests, killing unique animals, killing an enemy captain, and so on. To complete all locations, you will have to complete the main story and all side quests in the game. Once you complete all the locations, you will get the Old Habits Trophy, which will probably be your last. This will require a lot of time to complete, but you will gain XP and Drachma in the process.

2. Synchronize Vintage Points

Like in previous Assassin’s Creed games, you can synchronize vintage points in the map, which is mostly the highest point in the area. Synchronization will give you 100 XP in the beginning and will increase over time. Discovering new parts of the map will also improve Senu’s perception, which will be very helpful for discovering objectives. You will be able to spot objectives from a bigger distance and even through the wall. This will allow you to spot better loot and objectives that grant you better rewards.

1. Play Stealth Mode

Killing bosses will get you a decent amount of XP and Drachma, but eliminating regular targets unfortunately won’t do the same. However, playing more like an assassin you will be able to get bonus XP on each kill that you kill in stealth mode. To claim that bonus XP, you will have to get some abilities first:

Assassination XP - As the name says, you will get bonus XP if the target is assassinated.
Headshot XP - Headshoting the enemy from your bow is one more way to claim bonus XP from a kill.
Tool Kit XP - Killing an enemy with one of your tools will get you some extra XP as well when eliminating the enemy
Stealth Kill Streak - While killing multiple targets without getting spotted will bring you some extra XP like previous abilities.
