Schedule 1 XP Farm Guide: Best Ways to Gain XP
Ranking up in Schedule 1 isn’t just about bragging rights, it unlocks new tools, properties, and systems that let you scale your entire operation. XP farming can feel slow if you only rely on dealers, but with the right approach you can speed through levels and hit higher ranks in record time.
How XP Works in Schedule 1
XP is tied directly to actions you take each day. At the end of the day, all XP is tallied and shown on the results screen. The core ways to gain XP are:
Harvesting plants (5–10 XP per full harvest)
Manual sales to customers (20–30 XP per deal)
Dealer sales (10 XP per deal)
Completing quests (varies, often large bonuses)
Escaping police when Wanted (40 XP once per day)
Killing cartel members or cops (20 XP each, risky)
Pickpocketing NPCs (5 XP per success)
The key detail is that XP isn’t based on how much you sell, but how many times you make a transaction. One cheap sale nets the same XP as an expensive one.
Best Ways to Farm Experience
The most reliable way to gain XP fast is by focusing on manual deals. Dealers are useful for cash flow, but they cut your XP per sale in half.
Make unplanned deals with every unlocked customer early in the day.
Keep prices low and quantities small to stretch out more transactions.
Carry extra baggies or jars to maximize sales without running back constantly.
Schedule deals past midnight for more time in a single day.
Curfew sales don’t increase XP directly, but because the clock freezes at 4 AM, you can keep stacking deals without losing the day.
Secondary XP Sources
Beyond selling, several systems can pad your XP gain:
Harvesting everything yourself before handing plants to botanists.
Running from cops once per day, letting them chase you, then escaping for 40 XP.
Ambushing or eliminating cartel dealers, which lowers influence and grants XP.
Using pickpocketing to chain extra XP after deals. Sell, crouch, steal it back, resell.
None of these methods outpace manual selling, but combined they help squeeze out every point.
Advanced XP Farming Loops
Once you unlock more regions and products, you can design loops to hit maximum XP per day:
Grow and package a steady stock during the day.
At night, run through your customer list making cheap direct sales.
Hit graffiti spots or ambush cartel dealers to lower influence and get bonus XP.
Trigger a police chase and escape clean before heading to bed.
With this loop, players can consistently hit 500–1000 XP per day even before endgame products.
Why Manual Sales Always Win
Dealers are best for passive money, but manual sales are the backbone of leveling. Every time you let a dealer handle a customer, you’re giving up double XP. The fastest grinders often unassign customers from dealers to keep them open for personal deals.
Final Blurb
Schedule 1’s XP grind is about volume, not value. Focus on making as many manual sales as possible, supplement with graffiti and ambushes, and run daily escape bonuses to maximize your totals. Play this way and you’ll push through the ranks much faster than if you rely on automation.
