The fastest way to level up in Fortnite is to stack 2 sources of XP. Finish your quests every day. Then play XP islands until you reach the weekly cap.

  1. Finish your quests. Daily, weekly and story quests pay XP in Battle Royale and in the other modes. Start each day with the daily quests. New ones arrive every day.
  2. Play XP islands up to the cap. Creator-made islands in Discover pay XP for the time you play. They stop at 4,000,000 XP a week, which is 50 levels.
  3. Mix in LEGO Fortnite and Fortnite Festival. Both modes pay XP for time played. Use them when you want a break from Battle Royale.
  4. Equip a Gold Sprite for your Battle Royale matches. The Gold Sprite adds bonus XP to every elimination. It arrives on the 12 November Captain's Day.
  5. Plan around the end date. Treasure Hunters started on 1 November 2026. It runs until the Chapter 7 end event on Saturday 5 December.

How much XP you need to level up in Fortnite

Every Battle Pass level in Fortnite costs 80,000 XP. The cost stays the same from level 1 to level 100. Your XP turns into levels at a fixed rate.

Total XP from level 1, at 80,000 XP a level
LevelTotal XPWeeks at the XP island cap
10720,000Under 1 week
201,520,000Under 1 week
503,920,0001 week
806,320,0002 weeks
1007,920,0002 weeks

Level 100 takes 7,920,000 XP from level 1. At the weekly cap of 4,000,000 XP, XP islands alone get you there in 2 weeks.

Treasure Hunters is a mini-season. Its Battle Pass is smaller than the normal pass. The normal Battle Pass returns next season.

How to level up Sprites fast in Fortnite

Sprites level up on their own track. Each Sprite goes up to level 5. A level 5 Sprite counts as Mastered.

  • Keep the Sprite you want to level equipped. Only the equipped Sprite levels up from your eliminations and the chests you open.
  • Save long sessions for Monday. Mastery Monday doubles Sprite XP and Sprite Dust every Monday from 9 AM ET, for the whole day.
  • Carry Exmarks or Wayfinder to find more Sprites. Exmarks reveals nearby Treasure Maps and Wanted Posters. At level 5 it spawns a Treasure Map. Wayfinder reveals nearby Sprites and adds loot to Buried Chests.

Every Sprite you master adds progress to the Sprite Mastery Track and its rewards.
