How To Gain EXP In Tale of Immortal
Qi is the key resource you need to improve your character’s cultivation level and can be considered the same as EXP. There are several methods to accumulate EXP throughout your journey, which allows you to progress through the realms. Here are all the ways through which you can gain EXP in Tale of Immortal:
- Cultivate on a Qi-Spot: As you explore the world, you’ll find specific locations on the map rich in Qi. These are prime spots for cultivation and can provide a significant boost to your EXP gain. Always check out these spots as they are great for getting some quick EXP.
- Cultivate in Sect Spirit Pavilion: Joining a sect can grant you access to their Spirit Pavilion, where you can meditate and cultivate more efficiently. This is one of the most reliable methods to steadily increase your EXP in Tale of Immortal.
- Dual Cultivation: This is a special mechanic where you cultivate alongside a partner, which boosts your gains. Dual cultivation also has additional bonuses if your partner is equally matched in power or of the same realm as you.
- Events and Quests: Apart from the above, some random events and quests can also provide you with EXP, as well as other valuable resources. So, be sure to complete these events whenever they appear.

How To Breakthrough In Tale of Immortal
Breaking through a realm is the most essential aspect of your character’s progression in Tale of Immortal. Each realm’s breakthrough process involves unique challenges, but the general steps remain the same across most realms.
Here are the general steps you will need to follow in order to break through in Tale of Immortal:
- Open the Realm Page: You can press J or click on the button near your portrait to access the realm page. This page will display your current realm and the available breakthrough options on the right side.
- Gather Materials: Breakthroughs require special materials, including elixirs, rare items, or treasures. You will get hints about where you can find these items by hovering your mouse over the required materials. Pay attention to which regions or events these items are tied to.
- Use Elixirs: Elixirs are essential for progressing through the early, middle, and late stages of each realm. Elixirs for the even-numbered realms (such as Foundation and Golden Core) can only be bought from the main cities, and they refresh once a year.
- Special Requirements: Breaking through to the higher realms, especially Reborn and Transcendent, requires more than just elixirs. You will need to collect rare items, often found in difficult or hidden regions, and you’ll occasionally need to fight bosses to get what you need.
- Surviving Tribulations: There’s always a chance of failure when attempting a breakthrough, especially at higher stages. Failing will result in a setback, and you’ll need to gather more resources before trying again. So, always ensure you have backups and sufficient resources before attempting a risky breakthrough.
