How to Increase Your Monarch EXP Fast in Evony

Grinding Monarch EXP in Evony can feel painfully slow: you log in, use a few tributes, kill a couple bosses, and the progress bar barely moves. Sound familiar?

‍

The thing is, your Monarch level isn’t just for bragging rights. It directly affects how strong your generals can get and how deep you can go in your talent tree.

‍

In other words, it’s one of the most underrated power multipliers in the entire game.

‍

So if you’ve been stuck wondering how to level up faster, here are the four most effective ways to earn Monarch EXP (including one that most players totally overlook).

‍

Let’s get that EXP bar moving.

‍

Why Monarch EXP Actually Matters

‍

If you're wondering why everyone's so obsessed with Monarch level, it’s not just bragging rights, but directly affects your gameplay in two key ways.

‍

First off, your Monarch level directly caps the level of your Generals. That means no matter how much EXP you pump into them, your Generals won’t level past your Monarch.

‍

So if your Monarch is stuck at level 29, that shiny new General you just pulled isn’t getting past 29 either, no matter how much EXP you throw at them.

‍

But there’s more to it than just unlocking higher general levels. Each time your Monarch levels up, you earn talent points that go into the Monarch Talent Tree.

‍

These talents give you real, game-changing bonuses: extra training speed, better gathering, cheaper building costs, and more. The higher your Monarch level, the deeper you can go in the tree, and the stronger your buffs become.

‍

So while it’s easy to ignore that little Monarch EXP bar at first, it’s actually one of the most important long-term power sources in the game. Leveling it up unlocks better Generals and better economy… which means faster progress across the board.

4 Best Ways to Get Monarch EXP in Evony: the King’s Return

‍

Raising your Monarch level isn’t just about grinding mindlessly, it’s about knowing where to focus. These four tactics aren’t just theory; they’re what experienced players actually use in 2025 to climb levels faster and unlock stronger generals, talents, and boosts.

‍

Let’s start with the method that delivers the most EXP per effort…

‍

1. Daily Offerings

‍

If you’re serious about raising your Monarch level, offerings at the Shrine are your best bet. This method gives consistent, high-value EXP, especially as your Shrine level increases. The higher your Shrine, the more Monarch EXP you’ll earn per offering.

‍

But here’s the catch: doing this daily can burn through your resources quickly. That’s why most savvy players follow what’s called the “bulk method.”

‍

Instead of offering every day, they stockpile 100+ Tributes or a pile of Gems and go all-in when it really counts. One big session = massive EXP gains with less daily pressure.

‍

And if you want to take it even further, switch your culture to Arabia before doing a big offering session. It costs 2,000 Gems to switch, but Arabia gives you a +5% offering bonus which stacks with your Shrine and talents.

‍

You’ll earn more EXP per tribute, making every gem or item go further.

‍

2. Kill Boss Monsters

‍

Running boss rallies might already be part of your daily routine, but here’s why you shouldn’t overlook them for Monarch EXP: every single boss you take down gives a chunk of EXP, and it adds up fast.

‍

The best part is that you're not doing anything extra. You’re hunting bosses for loot anyway (stamina well spent), and the EXP comes as a bonus. The higher the boss level, the more Monarch EXP you get, so prioritize B11+ when possible.

‍

If you're active in a strong alliance, try to join as many rallies as you can, even if you're not the one starting them. It all counts. Over time, this is one of the most consistent, low-maintenance ways to build EXP while grinding gear and speedups at the same time.

‍

‍

3. Farm Monarch EXP Books

‍

Monarch EXP books don’t give you instant levels, but they’re surprisingly powerful once you stack them up, especially if you’re the type to play consistently.

‍

You’ll find these green books scattered across Evony: from gathering resources, spinning the Wheel of Fortune, opening drop chests, clearing Undead Invasion, or just doing your daily events like Monarch Competitions and Server Wars. They even show up in the Battlefield Shop and Market sometimes, so don’t overlook those either.

‍

The best part is that these books don’t expire, so you can hoard them over time and drop a huge EXP boost when you need it most, like when you're trying to unlock a talent branch or power up your generals past a new level cap.

‍

Just make sure you don’t confuse them with General EXP books (those are brown). Monarch EXP books are bright green, and you can use them directly from your inventory or by tapping the little "+" icon next to your Monarch level.

‍

4. Hunt Common Monsters (The Underrated EXP Farm)

‍

Most players know you get Monarch EXP from killing Boss monsters. But what they don’t realize is that Common Monsters, especially levels 31 and up, give some of the best EXP returns per stamina spent.

‍

That means you can actually level up faster by hunting them than you can by chasing higher-tier Bosses, and they’re way easier to kill.

‍

You won’t need elite gear or perfect marches. Just a fast setup and a decent amount of energy. Bookmark a few Common Monster locations (Lv31+) around the map and go on a farming loop. It’s not as glamorous as smacking a B13, but it’s incredibly efficient.

‍

For example, spending 18 stamina on three Common Monsters can net you more Monarch EXP than a single boss fight, with way less risk and setup. And because they’re so common (pun intended), you won’t waste time searching.

‍

Don’t Let Gem Costs Hold You Back…

‍

Now that you know how to farm Monarch EXP more efficiently, here’s the part most players don’t talk about: it still costs a ton of gems.

‍

Whether you're saving up for a big Shrine offering session, refreshing your Market or Tavern, or speeding through monster hunts for drop chests, those gem costs add up fast, especially if you're going for bulk boosts or switching cultures to maximize returns.

‍

That’s where Packsify gives you a real edge.

‍

Instead of paying full price in-game, you can top up through Packsify and save up to 35%.

‍

That means more gems for Shrine offerings. More Monarch EXP books from the Market. And more flexibility to boost talents, unlock generals, and climb faster without draining your budget.

‍

No risky sellers. No complicated steps. Just safe, instant savings so you can invest in what actually moves the needle in Evony—power, progress, and long-term growth.
