Donate to shrines up to your "XP from donations limit" every game day, nibble tons of piggies, cook tons of food, mine tons of rock, season tons of beans and eggs... etc. etc. Good luck!
Sing to butterflies. It costs a fair amount of energy, but it gives good XP.
Collect emblems, and you can "contemplate" them once each game day. Even better is to get some icons, they give even more XP when you "reflect" them. Plus, when you have icons in your house you will get periodic "giant love" when you walk past, which will come in the form of mood, energy, XP, or favor.
Like Aurora said, donating from shrines is a really good way to get tons of XP. For the most effective donations, get some Extra Hallowed Shrine Powder, and then donate something that you can donate hundreds of at once. Molybdenum is really good for this.
Check out the "achievements" section of the encyclopedia, and you can see which badges you haven't gotten yet. Badges come with a few hundred XP (not to mention the XP you will get for the stuff you did while you were trying to earn the badge).
I guess I have to ask, other than being one of the hundreds listed in #1 spot on the leaderboard, why would you want to level up FASTER? Okay, so you get a bigger energy tank daily...but being a higher level doesn't seem to gain you a whole bunch other than that...and once you get to level 60, it's not like we have multiple avatars, and you can then do it again with one of the other avis for your account...you just stop leveling - you're now 'done'...I get that it's a goal for some, but I'm just wondering what I'm missing that is the 'big gain' for being a higher level...to me, being 'done' seems to be final...kinda of funny for a game that's supposed to have some roots in a previous game called "Game NeverEnding"...
I guess I'm more of an enjoy the journey person when it comes to playing games, than get to the destination (completely different in RL though). I might understand if no one was level 60, and you wanted to be the first (I sooooo supported clare's 100+ efforts in first beta)...or if there were unlimited levels, and you wanted to pass the top dogs like in other games...but, I guess I just don't get the point...level up doing what you enjoy doing...and don't look for the fast track/shortcut...you'll get there eventually, and it will be the same view when you do.
I donated 750 meat+ with shrine powder to several gods 5-6 each game day (every 4 hours) plus when I logged off if I had any energy left I'd then sing to butterflies : ) Meat was a doddle for me to collect in Tamila and surrounding areas so I was harvesting and donating along the same route. I also started trading all the extra emblems I received on the marketplace forums in exhange for Extremely Hallowed Shrine powder which saved me the hassle of making/buying them : ) : ) : ) Good deal, good deal............
@b3achy, I wanted to level up to 60 primarily because of the curve start when the game switches over to imagination. The main benefit I've noticed is that my mood in game is irrelevant now as at level 60 you don't gain xp from harvesting/donating/petting etc. This means I don't have the hassle of making/buying drinks so anything I do harvest now I can sell at auction. I also find now that I've turned from mining to cooking! It's a much more relaxed affair now that I'm playing at level 60 : )
Fair enough on the money aspect...forget about that since they took away the money initially, but we have it back at intervals. And fair enough on it being a goal to accomplish...since we run out of quests, it does make sense from a 'want to reach that goal' point of view.
Interesting that folks think the curve is a good thing at the higher levels...I saw as something that it would be smartest to be in the middle of the pack over, vice at the top of the heap...but since none of us really knows, I can see why some might try to get to the top for that. Also a good point on the mood, but by level 20, I didn't see a huge mood impact anymore...but then again, as you can tell, I don't play as hard as some of you folks...so maybe I just am not doing enough.
