Starfield's intro can be considered a slow burn before you get into the gameplay loop of exploring new planets and levelling up. However, you might feel underpowered in the face of the vast world expanding in front of you. In this case, we suggest you use our best early-game XP farm methods for Starfield.

This guide will cover three early-game XP farm locations and methods to gain levels and skill points quickly. Once you've levelled up adequately, you can easily take on anything the main story throws at you. Once you finish these three early-game XP farm methods in Starfield, you can opt for the midgame XP farm.

Masada III Creature XP Farm

Today's number one on our list is the creature XP farm that you can employ in the Masada star system. Once you're done with the intro, you can travel to any planet and star system that you have the necessary skills for. The Masada Star System is located at the bottom right of the Kryx Star system.

We recommend getting food XP bonuses, the well-rested XP bonus or even the Sex XP bonus.

Adaptive Frame Crafting XP Farm

If you prefer to avoid repeating endless combat for XP, this outpost and crafting-based XP farm method might be the one for you. Crafting adaptive frames requires you to have access to Iron and Aluminium. These resources are two of the best to collect early game for outpost building. This method puts you ahead in multiple ways, so here's what you need to do.

Go to the Narion system and make your way to the moon Andraphon. This moon has plenty of Iron and Aluminum deposited located near each other. You need to make your outpost where the Iron and Aluminum regions meet. Set up lots of storage and extractors, and watch your resources pile up. You can go to Venus and wait to pass the time very quickly. Once you have the materials - craft a ton of Adaptive Frames for some significant XP gains.
