  • *IMPORTANT I say I start as "The nobodies" but I actually picked "The Freedom Seekers" make sure you pick the freedom seekers.
    Fair warning we exploit the game mechanics like crazy and this is pretty much cheating in many respects.
    To train fast you need to acquire a variety of tools, blueprints and equipment. The difficulty is in getting your hands on those tools early in the game, the easiest thing to acquire is money. Using Money you can give yourself several advantages. This video covers how you can power level skills that are very useful for taking shortcuts in this game. Namely Thieving, Sneaking, Lockpicking and Assassinations. All you need is an enemy Ninja with a busted leg.

    The fact that you kidnapped and stripped a cripple to train skills on a "helpless" target, only to be forced to retreat when he started fighting back is why I love Kenshi.

      @@comatose1818 hardcore stuff man. I like to use some sort of recruiting mod, usually the lore friendly one but recruit anyone if I'm feeling like an unbalanced playthrough. Then you recruit the training dummy after you're done with them and send them out into the wastes to prove themselves. This can honestly lead to some really interesting stories, especially when you see your former training dummy again in a slavemonger caravan.

    Ironically, starting as a slave is also a good way to train up efficiently. You can do all the above exploits, but if you get caught, they will beat you up (toughness and combat training), lock you, and heal you up. The feed you just enough to not die, so you always have a malnutrition malus. Which, ironically again, is a good thing. The debuff to stats makes them level faster. It's absolutely free and also, relatively risk-free.

      Agreed, the slave start in Rebirth with the two characters is the best start in the game by far - spend every day running around fighting guards and every night sneaking around stealing and knocking out guards, you level so fast no exploits are required - by the end fo the second in-game week, you're stronger than most of the guards (all stats in the high 50's-low 60's) and have enough athletics to simply run right out the gate past them if you want...but also high enough martial arts skill from all the unarmed fighting to beat the shit out of every guard in the camp LOL. Personally I like to knock a few of em out and throw them in their own cages at night....their friends let them out in the morning, put shackles on them, and treat them like every other prisoner LMAO after a few days, most of the slaves are former paladins, and you can free all the other slaves.

    I would like to recommend anyone playing for the first time, do not do the things in this video. Play the game how it is meant to be played, at least in your first play through. Getting in over your head, learning just how strong your opponent is, and then coming back to kick their ass is the fun of the game. If you are strong enough to wipe out everything on your first try you lose a lot of what makes kenshi personal.
    When I made my first base, it was constantly raised by dust bandits, and they would occupy my building and kick my squad out. I would have to go and hire mercenaries to have them clear the base for me. After my squad became powerful we went out and wiped all dust bandits settlements from the face of the earth. Doing it felt personal, it was my revenge, rather than just to decrease dust bandits spawns.

      Agreed. You CAN break the game and just go on a big power trip. Just like playing D&D, you can min max your character and make yourself Godlike, most people try to do that when they first play, after awhile though you realize there's only so much fun in that. Past that it's about making a realistic character and stepping into their shoes to make a story. For that, Kenshi is an S tier sandbox.

    For the "Make Gutters allies" trick, it's more easy when ground floor cages are already full. The slave trader will just enslave the gutter man (3-4s animation) and move away. That's all. No cages interaction. After you buy the slave, the trader (or a guard) will do another short animation for "release". This last animation can be interrupted. Pick up/Drop and the loop starts again. It's not very long and cost something like 400k. I did it with speed #2. If the loop is done fast enough, the slave will never have time to wake up (he must not be awaken for the trick to work).

Every failure gets you about 3-5 levels, and then you have the most powerful attack in the game practically max level.

    No idea if it's due to a mod doing something or pure vanilla Kenshi jank, but a great place to train stealth and other thief stats is the Exile Camp right below the Waystation west of Squin. For some reason they don't mind you sneaking around the camp, even in full sight, but will also attack you if you regular walk into the camp (or just quickly provoke them).
    From there, the game considers them all hostile (with the little red cursor on mouse-over), but they don't bother you if you're sneaking, leading to huge stealth gains. I did a bit of stand-up-fall-over toughness training with them too, since you can just hop in one of their beds, no problem, and then sneak out after you've finished letting them beat you up enough

    thievery and stealth are op.
    basically you steal, sell stolen goods in another faction town, and then if you find correct container you steal those items you sold right back and repeat.

    about stealth power leveling, I have another method, not as safe but much quicker: enable lowest speed and follow a big group around, hungry bandits in skinner's roam are perfect (but fogmen are more fun :)). can you see those spikes in experience as you're leveling next to the cripple? I believe they happen every time you almost get spotted, with big chaotic groups getting stuck on terrain and doing U turns basically all your exp will come from those spikes, as soon as one of my newbie characters is quick enough to run from low level enemies I send them stalking hordes for ten minutes and they come back as master ninjas lol

    I think you can do 1 frame assassination's attempts to make the process much faster, queue the knockout while you're close enough to do it, pause during the animation and do it again and over again, you can do like 5 attempts per animation. This only works if they refuse to agro on your which weirdly happened to me.

    The thief build is good becau7se you will never be without money, i make a char with that skills near lv 100 (except thievery that i know how to train now with this video), and my money making was only exploring ancient buildings, taking beak thing eggs and knocking out people with bounties (but that way is good you have more people with sneaking + strengh because you can find more bounties in the same place)

    Grey Desert Waystation is generally speaking very busy, you can get all different kinds of bandits attacking the place which you can choose to help against and loot them for easy early cats. you can even buy and fix the tower to have a base of operations there. Its centrally located so you can get to most anywhere you want quite easily.
    Assassination, sneak and thievery are all broken at high levels the AI doesnt handle them well at all and you can just cruise through the game if you want, stealing all the cats ko ing all the bounties and "winning" the game in that sense.
    Armor plating makes for decent strength training material.
    You can ally with almost any faction using the free from slavery method. Free beak thing omelets for life.

      Money printing is pretty easy this way for sure, it's not worth the effort of stealing beak thing eggs to sell, robotic repair kits are more valuable and more compact.
      I want to see how quickly we can get to the point of training 10 trainees up to level 80 ish is all the combat stats, I'm thinking strength is going to be the slowest one we level.

      @@FrancisJohnYT Probably way too late with this reply but i read on the wiki that you can set a group member to block and then exile them or kick them from the group (sets them to drifters faction) and they will be stuck on block.
      Load the trainee up as heavy as possible, carry someone and use either the heaviest weapon you have for ultimate strength gain or go unarmed to power-train martial arts, dexterity and strength at the same time.
      As you train your ex-friend will be leveling his defence too so it scales with you to 100 if you are patient.
      Another version of this is to find a hostile skeleton and hope one of their legs falls off, put them in a skeleton repair bed and just beat them forever but this will be slower unless you plan on dragging Cat-lon or Tinfist to a repair bed minus a leg... Also works with iron spiders but that's janky and also slower than the block method as "sleeping" things only level toughness and no combat stats leading to slower xp gains as you become more powerful than they are.
      Or for the simplest and dirtiest version find a bonedog or similar, have it be put into a time out by some passer-by, carry it to a bed and hit it with blunt weapons for a morally bankrupt yet very successful training method that can level martial arts, blunt and pole arms (with staff) to the 80s in an ingame day or two, bonus strength xp if malnourished so keep hunger just above 100 and technically you will be getting the xp rates of someone at 30 str when you are at 100, have an arm broken for a further 33% decrease to effective strength for 33% bonus xp per strike.

      The R key on the keyboard, it tells your pawn to stop what they are doing. So if while paused you told them to say move somewhere by accident and you want to cancel that move as they are currently committing a crime, the R key stops them and causes them to stay where they are.

    Leveling up athletics first will allow you to level up strength faster. When you run at a lower speed, it is more difficult to level up strength. I will run my "wanderer" from the Hub to the Stack to mine cooper there and recruit 5 people in 2 days by mining. Letting your guy carry more weight early on is not a good strategy. The best way to train assassination is to knockout the crippled guy and put him right next to the mine that you are mining. This way, you can mine and hit him continuously without losing your time. LOL I collect like 3 to 4 crippled guys to mass train my people while they are mining. LOL I am not an expert in this game. But I managed to figure out most of the things by myself. LOL

    If you just wanna earn or are at a point where you need to earn cats, going to the swamp buying drugs (hash) then traveling to the flat lakes city is really good for making money. You don’t need to worry about being caught smuggling and you can just sell the drugs for a 705% mark up. Once you have a few companions and animals you can clear out at the hash and usually all the cats from the stores you sell them at. If that happens you can head to Mourn, however there’s an increased risk of running into beak things. Luckily most of the Beal things you run into a fairly well feed and won’t try to eat you alive.
