Divinity Original Sin 2: Act 1 Max XP Guide (Reach Level 10 Before Act 2)

Max experience guide for first act of the game that includes Gift Bags and Four Relics of Rivellon questlines.

This guide is mostly aimed for Solo Tactician/Honour run, but it could help your Classic or Explorer party run if you got lost or don’t know what to do. I listed which NPC’s give xp when they are killed or persuaded and compared which one gives more xp. You can use Ctrl + f to search their names or search persuasion to see which NPC’s give xp when they are persuaded.
Even if you miss couple of things you can still reach level 10 if you follow this guide, this was written for a Solo Honour run in mind so you can change order of things according to your playstyle. If you have question about this guide ask me in the comments.

SPOILER WARNING ! Rest of the guide includes spoilers for Act 1.
