Solo Leveling: Arise features a tough level-up system that has led to many players needing help to level up efficiently. This has made it harder for free-to-play players to progress the ranks and instead many have ended up failing to clear high-ranking Gates and defeat strong bosses.

However, it is still certainly possible to complete the game quickly by following these best ways to consistently earn XP and level up Sung Jinwoo to become the best hunter in the world.
