If you’re feeling stuck in RogueBlox, running around aimlessly or failing bandit missions over and over, don’t worry—you’re not alone. A lot of new players get hard stuck at the start, wasting time on quests that don’t give consistent rewards. But there’s a better way to progress, and this guide will walk you through exactly how to farm XP fast, get gear early, and unlock your base class quickly. Let’s break it down step by step—from gear and farming routes to class unlocks and XP scaling. Also check out our RogueBlox Tier List and More for those interested!
Step 1: Start by Gearing Up (Armor & Trinkets)
Before you rush into combat or missions, get yourself some early armor. Here’s how:
- Scout buildings near the starting village for trinkets (shiny items).
- Sell them to merchants to get Notes (the in-game currency).
- The basic chestplate costs only 40 Notes—and it gives you a decent defense boost.
Why armor first? Even a small boost in resistance makes a huge difference when you’re farming mobs for XP. You’ll last longer and get more XP without dying.
Step 2: Ignore Bandit Missions (For Now)
A lot of new players jump into bandit missions right away—but they’re not ideal for early progression. Here’s why you should skip missions at the start:
- Enemies are tanky and hit hard early on.
- Risk of dying without good gear or coordination.
- Missions are inconsistent and waste your time if you fail.
Instead, there’s a much faster and easier method…
Step 3: Farm Zombies at the Graveyard
The best early-game XP comes from zombie mobs found near the graveyard area. These mobs are weak, predictable, and give massive XP when you’re just starting out. Here’s what to do:
- Head to the graveyard located just outside the starter village.
- Bring a friend if you can—it speeds things up and makes it safer.
- Farm the zombies there. They’re easy to kill and give around 20+ XP each when you’re low level.
- Avoid the tree mob for now—stick to regular zombies.
Pro Tip: If you’re low on health, just run away. The zombies have poor pathing and are easy to escape from.
Step 4: Set Your Spawn & Keep Farming
You can set your spawn near the graveyard to keep things efficient. That way, if you die or log off, you’ll return to the farming zone instantly. Stay at the graveyard and keep farming zombies until your XP slows down—this usually happens after your Base Class is ready to unlock.
Step 5: Unlocking Your Base Class
Once you hit around 100 XP, you’re ready to choose your Base Class. Find the correct trainer NPC based on your weapon type or class preference.
- Sword / Heavy weapons
- Fist / Martial
- Mage / Magic
Each trainer is labeled, so you can easily see who gives what.
How to check your XP: Your XP isn’t displayed as a level, but more like a hidden stat that builds until your class unlock becomes available.
Step 6: Upgrade & Move On
After unlocking your base class:
- Consider upgrading your weapon (e.g. Iron Sword).
- Farm the larger zombie variants or head to Tundra or higher-level areas when zombie XP slows down.
- At higher XP, the smaller zombies give less (around 1 XP), but the big ones still give decent gains.
Reminder: XP gain is tied to how much XP you already have. The higher your XP, the less you get from weak mobs. So always scale up your farm zones.
Farming Tips & Notes
- XP Scaling Exists: Low XP = fast gains from zombies. High XP = diminishing returns.
- Use Mana: If you’ve unlocked it, mana helps with mobility and burst.
- Trinket Runs: While zombies respawn, search the surrounding area for more trinkets to sell for better gear.
- Group Farming: Grab a squad and rotate mobs. You’ll prog even faster.
If you’re new to RogueBlox, the graveyard zombie method is hands down the best way to progress efficiently. Skip the early missions, gear up with cheap armor, farm zombies for fast XP, and unlock your base class without the frustration of dying to overpowered bandits. Stick to this route and you’ll go from beginner to super class-ready in no time. Make sure to scale your farming spot as your XP rises—and always keep an eye out for trinkets and better gear.
