The following methods can help you quickly level up in Path of Exile 2.

Focus on the main campaign

At the moment, there is no better way to level up in the game than focusing on the main campaign. The amount of XP you earn from completing each main quest is much higher than what you’ll get elsewhere.

Your main focus should be on completing the main campaign, as it is the best and fastest way to level up your character.

Complete side quests

While main quests are important, side quests can also help you earn a lot of XP. You can complete them when you want a break from the main campaign.

Side quests will also help you learn more about the game while letting you earn plenty of other rewards alongside XP, such as weapon specialization points and extra Spirit. On top of that, completing each side quest will also reward you with Gold.

Revisit old areas

Another excellent way to earn a significant amount of XP in Path of Exile 2 is by revisiting older areas that are below your current level. For example, if you’re at level 50, you can explore areas designed for level 45 or slightly higher and battle the enemies there.

Since you will be at a much higher level, the enemies will be easier to defeat and you’ll keep earning a lot of XP during the process.

Fight optional bosses

Path of Exile 2 has many optional bosses that you can find and defeat. While the fight isn’t going to be a walk in the park and you might get killed multiple times during your first few ones, you’ll earn plenty of XP through them.

On top of that, bosses also drop unique loot upon defeat, which can further help you with progressing through the game.

This was everything you needed to know about how to level up fast in Path of Exile 2.
