Grinding XP in The First Descendant has always felt like a slog — with 12 mod slots per Descendant and 10 per weapon, catalyzing everything takes serious hours. The good news? Season 4 reshuffled XP distribution, and a few spots now blow past everything that came before.
Table of Contents
The First Descendant: Best XP Farms
| Farm | Time per Run | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Kuiper Mine Blockade | 6–7 minutes | Fastest Descendant leveling (0→40) |
| Karel’s Mothership | Single run | Level everything to 40 at once |
| Sigma Sector | 2–3 minutes | Fast repeatable Arche XP + gear |
Kuiper Mine Blockade — The New King
This is currently the single best spot to farm dedicated Descendant XP. Enemies here are far less punishing than other late-game content, letting you take a character from 0 to 40 in roughly 6–7 minutes per run. If your only goal is leveling Descendants fast, park here.
Karel’s Mothership — The One-Stop Shop
Season 4’s new mega-dungeon is a genuine game-changer. Head in with an active XP booster and nothing else equipped, and by the time the mission ends, everything you’re carrying — Descendant and weapons alike — hits max level in a single run.
Sigma Sector — Fast and Repeatable
Sigma Sector won’t give the biggest XP payout per run, but its 2–3 minute completion time makes it one of the most time-efficient farms overall. It also drops materials for strong endgame Descendants like Serena, Dia, and Raven, plus a flat 1,500 Arche XP every loop — useful if you’re chaining runs back to back.
Why This Matters Right Now
With Ultimate Hailey releasing September 17, getting your roster leveled ahead of time means you’ll be ready to build her out the moment she drops, instead of scrambling through slow XP grinds afterward.
