Leveling Talent builds

Best Talent Setup for Efficient EXP Farming

Introduction

Immortal EXP is one of the quiet bottlenecks in Infinity Kingdom. Every level gained increases both stats and troop capacity, meaning combat power scales far more sharply with levels than many newer players expect. This becomes recurringly relevant as you move between seasons—Season 1 to Season 2, into Conquest, and eventually Legendary—because each transition raises the immortal level cap again.

In practice, this creates two overlapping goals:

1. Max your main march as quickly as possible to push PvE content and stay competitive in PvP.
2. Gradually raise a wide immortal roster across all four marches, plus several benched immortals for situational or niche setups.

Both goals demand a large and steady supply of EXP. Since Action Points (AP) are a limited resource—and compete with PvP, Infernal Assault gold farming, and event participation—the only sustainable approach is to extract as much EXP as possible from every AP spent.

This guide focuses on the most efficient talent setup for manual EXP farming, specifically targeting gnome camps.

Core Principle: Daily Talent Swaps for Maximum Value

All of the talents discussed below share one thing in common: charges with cooldowns. That means you do not need to stay in this talent setup permanently. Instead, the optimal approach is to:

• Swap into your EXP farming talent page once per day
• Spend all available charges efficiently
• Swap back to your normal build afterward

This mirrors how experienced players already manage talents for gold farming, honor farming, or dragon and technology progression. Unfortunately we can only have three talent pages, so combining some of the uses may also be useful. In this guide we are only looking at most efficient EXP gnome farming, but if you are not incurring big losses farming gnomes, you can opt to combine EXP farming talents with the Technology or Dragon upgrade talents, more on those in their own guides here on site.

While the EXP-relevant Development talents are being secured, you have two you should consider combining these with either Technology Development talents or Dragon Development talents.

Development Tree Talent Build for EXP Farming

Experienced (Level 15)

• Effect: 100% bonus EXP from one gnome camp
• Charges: 4
• Cooldown: 6 hours

This is the single most important EXP talent in the game. Doubling EXP on four gnome camps every day dramatically accelerates immortal leveling, especially at higher levels where EXP requirements spike.

In practice, you should always plan your daily farming route around consuming all four charges. Because of the cooldown structure, this naturally fits into a once-per-day talent swap without waste.

Safe and Sound vs Divine Walker (Level 21)

This choice depends entirely on your current progression and troop situation.

Safe and Sound

• Effect: Prevents troop deaths entirely
• Charges: 6
• Cooldown: 4 hours

Safe and Sound shines when you are pushing into higher-level gnome camps where troop losses start to spike. In early new seasons or right after a level cap increase, this talent can be the difference between continuing your EXP grind or being forced to stop because you ran out of troops.

If you are still stabilizing your marches or notice heavy losses, this is the safer and often more practical option.

Divine Walker

• Effect: Removes AP cost for one attack per charge
• Charges: 3
• Cooldown: 8 hours

Once you can comfortably clear the highest gnome camps available to you with minimal losses, Divine Walker becomes the more efficient long-term choice. AP is arguably the most constrained resource in the game—needed for PvP, Infernal Assault gold farming, and event participation—so any daily AP savings compound over time.

For established accounts, Divine Walker is usually the correct pick.

Side Note: Pleasant Surprise (Level 27)

• Effect: Doubles Enchanted Stones from gnome camps
• Charges: 4
• Cooldown: 6 hours

While this talent does not affect EXP directly, it deserves mention because it fits perfectly into the same daily routine. Enchanted Stones are consistently in short supply, especially as equipment upgrades ramp up in later seasons.

If you are already swapping talents daily for EXP farming, it makes sense to consume these charges as well.

At this stage you can opt to stop in the Development Tree and move into Military talents to reduce troop losses while fighting gnomes. However, there are still the talent node Marathon Runner available in the end of the tree, giving you a 10% reduction to AP costs while fighting gnomes.

This is technically the most efficient talent for this gnome-daily routine setup, BUT it does require you to go through 18 points that does not provide value for gnome fighting (beyond Effortless for gnomes bosses if you do those daily too) and then 5 points more to get the 10% reduction of Marathon Runner. This is a choice you have to make based on your needs: AP efficiency versus troop preservation efficiency. Read more below.

If you are struggling with high troop losses

So to get all of the efficiency talents in the development tree, we are spending the vast majority of our talent points (based on your level maybe even all of them) getting these. If you are experiencing large troop losses as you kill gnomes and you wish to reduce on the AP-efficiency in favour of more combat strength and reduced troop losses. You can opt to stop with the Development Talents after getting e.g. Pleasant Surprise. In that case, you want to move into the Military talents instead of continuing through Marathon Runner in Development.

For pure gnome farming, the Military Tree offers tangible benefits.

If you go into Military Talents for Gnome Farming

Clutch Shot

• Increases Crit Value
  Crits dramatically improve kill speed against gnomes, which directly reduces incoming damage and troop losses.

Pack Light vs Riding Fast

• Pack Light: 5% AP cost reduction
• Riding Fast: 50% marching speed

Pack Light is technically more efficient from a resource perspective. Riding Fast, however, significantly shortens your daily routine. Personally, I use Riding Fast because time efficiency matters in practice, but players focused on strict optimization should take Pack Light.

Survival Methods

• Reduces troop losses by 10%
  This talent has a noticeable impact when farming higher-level camps repeatedly.

Domination

• Reduces enemy physical and magical defense by 5%
  Lower defense means faster kills, fewer hits taken, and better troop conservation.

---

Guardian Choice: Owl vs Meerkat

• Owl Guardian: 5% Energy Regen
• Meerkat Guardian: 6% Attack Speed

This depends on your march composition:

• Normal attack-focused builds (for example, Earth–Wind hybrids) benefit more from attack speed.
• Most other builds gain more consistency from energy regeneration.

---

Strong Will

• Increases Resilience
  Reducing incoming crits is a subtle but meaningful form of troop protection during extended farming sessions.

---

Talent Row Note: Rank Advancement

After Survival Methods, there is a talent row that does not meaningfully affect gnome farming. In that row, Rank Advancement is the most practical pick—not because it helps with EXP, but because it aligns with the same daily routine.

• Effect: Double Honor gains
• Charges: 3
• Cooldown: 6 hours

Since you are already swapping talents daily, it makes sense to also consume Rank Advancement charges during your routine. This is standard practice among experienced players and keeps honor income consistent over time.

Conclusion Summary

Efficient EXP farming in Infinity Kingdom is less about grinding endlessly and more about intentional daily optimization:

• Use Experienced every day without fail.
• Choose Safe and Sound or Divine Walker based on troop stability and season progression.
• Fold Pleasant Surprise into your routine for long-term equipment progress.
• Invest remaining points into Military talents that improve kill speed, reduce losses, and conserve AP.
• Treat this entire setup as a once-per-day talent swap, not a permanent build.

Handled correctly, this approach ensures you keep pace with rising level caps while preserving AP and troops for the parts of the game that truly demand them.
