Leveling up in Schedule 1 will unlock tons of new opportunities and options for you to grow your empire. You won't personally get any stronger than usual, but as you climb up the ranks, you'll be able to buy more stuff and unlock the rest of the game's features.

Getting XP is a fairly slow process, but if you want to make the most profitable products in Schedule 1, you need to reach certain ranks in order to get certain workstations and other tools. Here's a quick tip on how to level up as fast as possible.

How to Get XP Fast in Schedule 1

The best way to level up is to manually sell your products alongside your dealers. While it's tempting to rely completely on dealers to push your products out, doing so will hamstring both your income and XP gains.

Doing activities throughout the day will net small amounts of XP, though you won't see the total amount of XP you've earned until you go to sleep. Such activities include:

  • Completely harvesting plants (5 XP per plant)
  • Selling products (20 XP per transaction, both planned and unplanned)
  • Having dealers sell your products (10 XP per sale)

Every transaction you make rewards 20 XP regardless of how much money you make or how many items you sell to a person, so if you want to get as much XP as possible in a day, you'll want to sell to as many people as you can.

There are occasions where players can get more than 20 XP per transaction, though we are yet to pinpoint what exactly triggers this.

Recommendation for Earning XP Quickly in Schedule 1

To fully maximize your daily money and XP gains, it's best to sell past the nighttime curfew. There are a number of benefits to this:

  • Selling past curfew time won't increase your XP gains, but you'll get a 20% bonus for every direct transaction you make.
  • By scheduling deals past midnight, you'll get more than enough time to cook or grow as many products as you need during the day.
  • Time will never progress past 4AM, essentially eliminating any time pressure connected to deliveries. However, plants will stop growing, workers will stop working, and dealers will stop dealing.

Still, you shouldn't sell only during the night. If a customer texts you, schedule a meetup past midnight. During the day, either prepare your products or peddle them to your customers as they go about their daily routines. This will maximize the number of people you can sell to before going to bed, thus increasing the XP you earn per day. Just don't forget to hide from the cops.

Customers will only buy drugs once per day. It doesn't matter if the products came from you or your dealers.

Also, always keep your dealers stocked so they always have something to sell. Give them Jars filled with goods instead of Baggies — each Jar can hold up to five products, allowing your dealers to sell more before they exhaust their supply.
