Baldur’s Gate Easy Level Gain and Money in Multiplayer Games
When starting the game in the Town of Candlekeep do all the “Quests” (errands for guards, and other characters). That means anything that gives experience. Once you have done this go to the Character Screen and export your character.
End the game and start a new game and import character. This allows you to start the game with the amount of experience that you had gained. Repeat until satisfied.
If you started game as thief or strong warrior and thief has high enough lockpicking skills. You may bust or unlock a chest in the starting Inn on the second floor, that contains a gem that is worth 1,000 gold peices.
Baldur’s Gate Earn Easy XP
A very easy way to get XP, as long as your allignmnet allows this (if you are not a paladin or other lawful or good character) is find a “cloudkill” scroll. When you find one, go to Nashkel. In the tavern next to the bridge you’ll find Volo. Go to the back room of the tavern and have a spellcaster cast the “cloudkill” aimed at Volo. Get out of the spell’s radius so you don’t get killed. Volo will die and yield 650 XP. He will immediately ressurect and die again, and again, and again. Get the picture?
