Let’s be honest for a second. The first time you hear about Prestige in Bizarre Lineage, it sounds simple… just level up and reset, right? But once you actually start grinding, you quickly realize something: leveling slows down HARD, shards feel rare, and you start wondering if you’re doing something wrong.
You’re not.
Most players just don’t know the fastest routes yet. So let’s walk through this properly — like we’re planning a real grind session together — and break down the best ways to level, prestige, and farm shards efficiently.
Understanding Prestige First (What It Actually Does)
Before we jump into farming, you need to know why prestige matters.
Prestiging basically resets your progress in exchange for permanent benefits like:
- Stronger scaling
- Access to prestige shop items
- Long-term power growth
The higher your prestige, the slower EXP feels — which is normal. So if leveling suddenly feels painful after your first prestige, that’s expected, not a bug.
Now let’s talk about how to level fast.
Story Mode – The Most Reliable Early Game EXP Source
If you just started or you’re in mid-game, story mode is your safest and most consistent EXP method.
It’s simple:
You just progress through missions, fight enemies, and EXP comes naturally.
It’s not flashy, not super fast, but it’s steady.
Where it shines:
- Early levels
- Mid progression
- First prestige grind
Once you hit higher prestige levels, the EXP here starts feeling slow — but it’s still useful for steady progression when you don’t want risk.
Think of it as your “baseline grinding method.”
PvE Missions – The Hidden EXP Generator
Around the map, you’ll find NPCs with blue indicators above their heads.
These give PvE quests like:
- Defeat certain enemies
- Clear NPC groups
What makes these great is their flexibility. You can chain multiple missions while roaming, turning normal exploration into constant EXP gain.
Most players ignore these because they don’t look flashy.
That’s a mistake.
They’re one of the best passive EXP sources in the game.
The Easy Raid Method (Abdul Raid – Best Beginner Raid)
Now this is where things start speeding up.
Head to Bus Stop 8, then move forward until you reach the Abdul raid area.
Why this raid is so popular:
- Extremely easy boss
- Soloable even by average builds
- Fast completion time
- Good EXP rewards
- Drops chests
The boss has a second phase but barely heals, making it manageable even for mid-level players.
This raid is basically your entry point into efficient farming.
Chest Farming – The Secret EXP Boost
Here’s something many players don’t realize:
Chests give EXP when opened.
Types include:
- Common chests (small EXP)
- Rare chests
- Red/Legendary chests (huge EXP)
This means raid farming is actually double value:
You get EXP from the raid AND from the chests you open afterward.
That’s why raid grinding is so efficient.
Boss Farming – Fast EXP and Conjuration
Killing world bosses gives:
- Large EXP chunks
- Conjuration currency
- Potential item rewards
Some bosses can be defeated very quickly if you have strong PvE stands.
This method becomes especially strong once you reach higher levels and can melt bosses fast.
Think of boss farming as a mid-to-late game EXP booster.
The Fastest EXP Method in the Game (PvP Mission Trick)
Now we get to the method most players consider the fastest.
It involves:
- Using a private server
- Having an alternate account
- Starting PvP missions
Here’s how it works:
- Queue PvP mission with your main and alt.
- Alt account resets instantly.
- Mission completes immediately.
- You receive EXP and chest rewards.
This gives:
- Thousands of EXP per run
- Rare chests
- Extremely fast leveling
Players can gain multiple levels in minutes using this method.
It’s incredibly efficient — though many expect it may get patched eventually.
Fastest Prestige Strategy (Putting It All Together)
If you want the optimal route, it looks like this:
Early Game:
Story mode + PvE missions.
Mid Game:
Abdul raid farming + chest opening.
Late Game:
Boss farming + PvP mission trick.
Following this progression keeps your leveling speed consistently high.
Prestiging used to feel extremely slow.
But with current EXP methods:
- Raids give huge rewards
- Chests provide bonus EXP
- PvP missions can skyrocket levels
Because of this, prestige grinding today is much faster than older versions of the game.
The real key isn’t just grinding harder — it’s choosing the right method at the right stage.
Once you understand that, prestiging stops feeling like a wall and starts feeling like a natural progression step.
