Fastest Way To Farm Arche EXP in The First Descendant - Level Arche Tuning Fast

Welcome to the how to level up Arche Tuning fast in The First Descendant. Getting enough Arche EXP and leveling up Arche Tuning can be a chore if you don't optimize the grinding. Here is a quick guide on what you should do!

A lot of players make the mistake only to grind Sigma Sector for Arche EXP. This was the only way to level Arche Tuning up when it released, so the internet and Reddit are full of guides or players telling you to go to Sigma Sector and grind your brains out. Yes, you can do that, but there are other and more optimized options nowadays!

How To Level Up Arche Tuning in TFD

First let's take a look at where you can gain Arche EXP in The First Descendant. Since the launch of Arche Tuning they have added a lot of extra places where you get Arche EXP. Additionally, there are also 15% and 30% Arche EXP buffs (Tip: They stack).

Location Arche EXP
Supermassive Receptor Dungeon 1890
Void Vessel Medium Facility 1890
Sigma Sector 1500/ 2x Daily 4000
Axion Missions 1100
Void Vessel Assumed Bridge 750
Void Erosion Purge 300
400% Dungeons 300

The Smart Way To Level Arche Tuning in The First Descendant

Like shown above in the table, some locations give more Arche EXP than others. Therefore, you should always do the Sigma Sector Daily. Because 1 run equals 5500 Arche EXP, if you do both Sigma Sector dailies you get 11000 Arche EXP. 

Additionally, there are 15% Arche EXP buffs that you can easily acquire from Reina. Use them consistently when you do the dailies. This means your 11000 Arche EXP x 15% turns into 12650 Arche EXP.

Tip: You can actually also use the 30% Arche EXP Buff on top of the 15% Arche EXP buff, they stack! That would bring your total to 11000 Arche EXP x 45% to 15950 Arche EXP.

After you have done your Sigma Sector dailies, go do whatever you want because you get Arche EXP from most activities anyway. 

Smartest Way To Farm Arche EXP:

  • Both Sigma Dailies earn you 11000 Arche EXP.
  • Both Sigma Dailies earn you 12650 Arche EXP with 15% Arche buff.
  • Both Sigma Dailies earn you 15950 Arche EXP with 15%+30% Arche buff (they stack).
  • After that, go play whatever you want because most activities give you some Arche EXP anyway.

The Fastest Way To Level Arche Tuning in The First Descendant

If you want to get a character to max Arche Tuning level as fast as possible then you have to endure some grind, but it isn't as bad as you think it is. To do this, we will grind Sigma Sector missions. This not only gives you the most Arche EXP but also gives you great Character EXP and Weapon EXP. 

Therefore, you can level up Arche Tuning, Character Levels and Weapon Levels all in one go. 

  • 1500 Arche EXP (+ 2x daily 4000 Arche EXP)
  • 160000 Weapon EXP
  • 160000 Character EXP

Like previously, you also want to use as many EXP buffs as possible. You should have plenty of them from Events and Reina.

  • 15% Arche EXP + 30% Arche EXP (they stack)
  • 30% Weapon EXP
  • 30% Character EXP

While Sigma Sector grinding might be tedious, if you combine it with Character and Weapon leveling it will be great for your overall progress. 

Also, Sigma Sector public queues are easy to do, so you can get carried through if you don't have a strong character yet.

By the time you have used about 8 Crystallization Catalysts on your character, you will be at max Arche Tuning Level with this method!

Arche Tuning EXP Grinding Summary

If you are in a hurry and want to grind Arche Tuning to max level as fast as possible, it is best to grind Sigma Sector with all buffs enabled. Make sure to also level up your Character and Weapons at the same time!

Alternatively, the smartest way would be to utilize the daily extra Arche EXP (which is massive) and then just do other content that you want to progress. By doing this, you will have all characters at max Arche Tuning eventually. And not only that, but you also gain Mysterious Coins for the lounge and Ancestor Module drops daily.
