Awakened XP is needed to upgrade your Awaken Cursed Techniques in Jujutsu Zero. Each technique has its own XP, so you need to farm the correct type while the Awakening you want to upgrade is equipped.
For example, if you want to upgrade Awaken Limitless, you need to earn Awaken Limitless XP. The same rule applies to other Awaken Cursed Techniques. Normal enemies give at least 10 Awaken XP, while stronger enemies and bosses can give more. This XP is mainly used to unlock nodes in the Awakening progression trees.
Awaken Limitless requires a total of 165,000 Awaken XP to complete the Labs, Reversal, and Limitless trees. That is a lot of XP, so choosing an efficient farming method can save you several hours.
How to Farm Awakened XP
There is an important trick that can make Awakened XP farming much easier. You can use Copy or Ten Shadows to summon Shikigami. After summoning them, switch to the Awaken Cursed Technique you want to level.
As long as the Awakening is equipped when the Shikigami defeats an enemy, you will still receive XP for that technique. This means your Shikigami can do most of the fighting while you keep the Awaken Cursed Technique equipped. It is especially useful for players who want to level a technique that is not strong enough to clear enemies quickly by itself.
Method 1: Siege
Siege is one of the available ways to farm Awakened XP, although there is a level requirement. You need to be at least Level 1,000 to enter Siege.
The mode contains multiple enemy waves. Most waves have around eight enemies, while certain waves contain a single stronger boss.
After clearing a wave, you are moved to the next area.
Siege gives you a large number of enemies to defeat, which makes it a decent XP source. The downside is that you lose some time between waves because of the movement and teleporting.
For this method, Copy and Ten Shadows are especially useful. You can summon your Shikigami, switch to the Awaken Cursed Technique you want to level, and allow the summons to clear the enemies.
After testing Siege for five minutes, the result was:
- 3,730 Awaken Limitless XP in 5 minutes
- Around 44,760 XP per hour
- Around 3 hours and 41 minutes to reach 165,000 XP
Siege is still a good option if you also want the rewards from the mode, but it is not the fastest method for Awakened XP alone.
Method 2: Overworld Raids
Overworld raids are currently one of the best choices for farming Awakened XP. You can use different raids and difficulties because defeating the raid boss gives 50 Awaken XP. The best option is Eldest Worm, also known as the Choso raid.
The main reason this raid is so useful is that Choso spawns very close to your character. If your build or Shikigami can defeat him quickly, you can repeat the process with very little downtime.
After killing Choso, wait for the boss to respawn and defeat him again. You can also use the same Shikigami trick here. Summon your Shikigami with Ten Shadows or Copy, then switch to the Awaken Cursed Technique you want to level.
Keep that technique equipped whenever the boss dies so you receive the correct XP. After five minutes of farming Choso, the test produced:
- 5,600 Awaken Limitless XP in 5 minutes
- Around 67,200 XP per hour
- Around 2 hours and 27 minutes to reach 165,000 XP
This is more than an hour faster than Siege when looking only at Awakened XP.
Alternative: Deadly Judge
If you cannot defeat Choso quickly, try the Deadly Judge raid instead.
This boss also spawns relatively close to the player, so it can be another useful option for repeated boss farming.
The most important thing is to choose a boss you can defeat quickly. A slightly weaker raid that you can repeat without much downtime can be better than a stronger boss that takes too long to kill.
Method 3: Point Quests
Point quests are another way to farm Awakened XP.
Two options worth considering are:
- Level 930 quest
- Level 1,000–1,300 quest
The Level 1,000–1,300 quest has a large number of enemies, making it a reasonable option for players who want to use their Shikigami.
Ten Shadows works particularly well because you can summon multiple Shikigami to cover more of the area.
Another useful option is Infinity Aura. It can help protect your character while your Shikigami handle the enemies around you.
One advantage of this quest compared to Siege is that you do not have to wait for a teleport between waves. The enemies remain in the same area, allowing your summons to continue attacking.
However, the XP gain is still lower than the Choso raid.
After five minutes of testing, the Level 1,000–1,300 quest gave around:
- 3,210 Awaken Limitless XP in 5 minutes
- Around 38,520 XP per hour
- Around 4 hours and 17 minutes to reach 165,000 XP
So, despite having many enemies in one area, this method is slower because normal enemies provide much less Awakened XP than raid bosses.
Awakened XP Farming Comparison
After testing the three main methods for the same five-minute period, the results were:
- Choso / Eldest Worm: 5,600 XP
- Siege: 3,730 XP
- Level 1,000–1,300 Point Quest: 3,210 XP
Based on these results, the Choso raid is the fastest method for farming Awakened XP.
The reason is simple. Normal enemies only give a small amount of XP, while the Overworld raid boss gives 50 XP each time you defeat it. Since Choso can spawn close to you, you can defeat and repeat the boss much faster.
Best Awakened XP Farming Strategy
For the fastest results, use Ten Shadows or Copy if you have access to them. Start by summoning your Shikigami. Once they are active, switch to the Awaken Cursed Technique you want to upgrade.
Do not switch away from that Awakening before the enemy dies. For example, if you want Awaken Limitless XP, make sure Awaken Limitless is equipped when the Shikigami defeat Choso. Your ideal farming setup should look like this:
- Equip Ten Shadows or Copy.
- Summon your Shikigami.
- Switch to the Awaken Cursed Technique you want to level.
- Enter the Choso/Eldest Worm raid.
- Let your Shikigami defeat the boss.
- Make sure the correct Awakening is equipped when the boss dies.
- Wait for Choso to respawn.
- Repeat the process.
If you can defeat Choso almost instantly, keep farming that raid until you have enough XP.
Awakened XP farming becomes much easier when you use your Shikigami correctly. Ten Shadows and Copy can handle enemies while you keep another Awaken Cursed Technique equipped. For the fastest method, farm the Eldest Worm/Choso Overworld raid if you can defeat the boss quickly. The 50 XP reward per boss kill makes it much more efficient than farming regular enemies. If Choso is too difficult or takes too long, use Deadly Judge, Siege, or Point Quests until your character is stronger.
For Awaken Limitless specifically, expect to need 165,000 XP for the three progression trees. With an efficient Choso farming setup, that can take roughly 2 hours and 27 minutes based on the tested rate. The most important trick is simple: summon your Shikigami first, then switch to the Awakening you want to level and keep it equipped when the enemy dies. This lets you farm XP without needing to do all the fighting yourself.
