Most Efficient Leveling Methods
Drop and Pick Logs (Fastest)
Drop a log, pick it back up, repeat. Each pick grants Strength XP. Far faster than combat or woodcutting.
Woodcutting
Chopping trees with an axe grants Strength XP. Natural progression — you'll level while gathering building materials.
Melee Combat
Every melee hit grants XP. Lower-threat enemies (standard cannibals) are safer for sustained grinding.
Tip: Use Lumberjack Juice cooking pot recipe for a 2× woodcutting buff during grinding sessions.
