PSA: You Can Get Big Starfield XP Bonuses With These Quick Tasks, Including Sex
Experience points can make all the difference in an RPG like Starfield. But what's the best way to level up quickly? We have a few suggestions as fans gear up for Starfield's big release on Game Pass later this week.
IGN's intrepid guides team have identified several quick tasks that will gain you a nice XP boost. Here's a list for your reference.
Starfield also rewards a strong XP bonus for having sex with your partner on a regular basis. Yep, you read that right. Starfield has an Emotional Security buff that will get you a sizable 15 percent XP gain over the course of 24 minutes.
In order to unlock the Emotional Security buff, you'll need to get married to one of your companions and go to bed with them. In essence, you're getting a big boost to the typical "Well Rested" buff, which normally affords a 10 percent XP gain, but that doesn't make it any less useful.
As for the food buffs, you can stack the various gains, but keep in mind that they have to be from different categories. For example, you can't stack two Tranquiliteas, but you can stack a beer and a tea buff. The sleep boost also stacks with the food boost, affording even more experience points.
The Gastronomy Skill is espectially useful if you're looking to abuse food buffs. Among other things, it allows you to learn the recipe to make your own Shepherd's Pie by finding a Skill Magazine in Kay's Place Make sure to check out our full Starfield Walkthrough for more info.
