Free experience unlike the Combat (main) one, it allows players to research any equipment or modules. Due to the fact that Wargaming introduced a single account, from December 12, the free experience of World of Tanks and World of Warplanes became the same for both games. This universal experience will help you easily make a tank top, open a new branch without investing time and effort into leveling up low-level equipment, or help you open higher-level equipment when you “can’t bend” to the previous one or are tired of playing.


Everyone decides for themselves how to use it. Many newbies don’t think much about this and mindlessly waste their hard-earned free experience “everywhere.”

How to rationally use free experience?

There are a couple of tips that will help you use it more effectively:
  • - Do not research the next level tank using free experience. Why? This is because the experience may be useful to us in order to open modules (caterpillar, turret, engine, etc., etc.) on a new tank in the future, which will significantly improve the technology in battle. As the saying goes: “It’s better to play 5 battles on a top 6 level than 10 on a 7 level.”
  • - When opening a new branch, it is advisable to use free experience to research equipment of levels 1-5. In principle, up to 4 will be good. The fact is that at low levels the statistics suffer, and the gameplay, to put it mildly, leaves much to be desired.
    Separate advice for leveling up the branch. If you are eager to open the legendary French tank of level 5 ELC AMX (Christmas tree), in no case do you try to download the light tank AMX 40 at level 4 of the same branch, because it is of no use at all and you will only get disappointments. Explore the Christmas tree for free experience.

How to get free experience?

After a battle on each tank, 5% of the experience gained by the player is transferred to free experience. For example, for 1000 combat experience, 50 free experience is credited to your account.
For players who have extra gold, they have the opportunity to transfer combat experience from elite vehicles to free experience at the rate of 1 gold for 25 experience, although, in my opinion, it is better to still play a couple of extra battles. Premium equipment, as well as a premium account, will help us farm experience well, but this again requires an investment of money.

How to get free experience for free?

I would like to remind you that you should not trust scammers in any way to cheat or buy directly free experience. For fans of freebies, there is only one way to get free experience for almost nothing, and that is to farm it using World of Warplanes on the same game account, where the farming mechanism is similar to tanks. As a result, you will get more experience from fewer battles in World of Tanks. And remember, the higher your combat experience at the end of the battle, the higher your free experience.

Good day everyone! This topic is dedicated to how to earn experience! But first, let's discuss what experience actually is. As with any MMO, experience matters a lot in World of Tanks. Only with the help of experience is it possible to move up the “tank ladder.” For combat experience, the player can research tank modules or equipment that is available for research. Combat experience can only be gained in battle, by killing or highlighting the enemy. However, there are other criteria that affect the total amount of experience earned in battle. As you know, experience in World of Tanks is divided into two categories: free and combat.

As for combat experience, it is awarded for the following actions in battle:

  1. Dealing damage to enemy tanks - the vehicle class and enemy level are taken into account. For example, for 2000 damage, a firefly will be given much more experience than a tank destroyer or artillery gun, since the main purpose of a light tank is not to cause damage to the enemy, but to illuminate enemy positions. The level of the enemy to whom the damage was dealt is also important. Thus, by killing high-level enemies, you will gain more experience than by shooting low-level tanks. Additional experience is also given for destroying tanks, but it is better to deal 400 damage than to finish off a tank with 5 HP.
  2. There is also a bonus of sorts for causing critical damage to an enemy. Setting fire to the engine or tanks, crit of the ammunition rack or the turret turning mechanism, track derailment and concussion of crew members are also taken into account when calculating experience.
  3. The initial exposure of the enemy (detecting enemies) counts towards experience. Moreover, they give more experience for detecting self-propelled guns than for spotting another class of tank. If, due to the light of the tank, enemies were destroyed or damaged, then a kind of bonus to experience is given for this - “damage with your help.”
  4. In the latest patches, another criterion was introduced, according to which additional experience is also given for pushing/drowning tanks.
  5. Capturing an enemy base or shooting down a capture is rewarded with experience.
  6. Additional experience is awarded for active combat operations, worthy resistance, survivability in battle and received medals. Moreover, for winning a battle, teams give the most experience: +50% experience for each player.
  7. Many people prefer to finish off their opponents, since the more damage the team inflicts, the more experience the winning players will receive.

Many users do not know how experience is awarded in WoT. They are often mistaken that you can gain experience for damaging allies. On the contrary, for a team kill or damage to allied vehicles, you will be deducted part of your earned experience and credits in proportion to the damage caused. Also, damage is not awarded for non-penetration or ricochets and for receiving damage. There is no bonus for a loss or a draw. As a result, if you want a lot of experience at the end of the battle, you must win.

However, World of Tanks is protected from experience cheating. For example, if you leave a battle and do not enter until it ends, then experience will ultimately not be awarded. True, this is only if your tank is not destroyed.

To summarize, we can say that to get the maximum amount of experience you need to destroy enemies, deal damage and, most importantly, win the battle while remaining alive. In this case, it is advisable to have a premium account, since if you have one, you can receive 50% more experience in each battle, regardless of the outcome of the fight

Many players who are just starting to master the World of Tanks are faced with the problem that it is very difficult to accumulate in-game currency on entry-level tanks and because of this they have to spend a lot of time to at least get 100 thousand credits.

At the same time, they play rather weakly, sometimes even going into wild disadvantages because they face opponents two or three levels higher. And if you are also a victim of art, then this is generally a sad case. Another reason for poor experience accumulation is when you are placed with newcomers who behave much worse in the game than you, this actually leads to a bad result in the battle.

One of the best ways in world of tanks to quickly gain experience is to buy a premium account for a month; it is inexpensive, but it will pay you back for possible victories and increase the rate of hitting enemy vehicles. It is recommended to buy if you have reached at least level 8, it is important to max out your tank’s skills in order to increase the damage and accuracy of hitting targets.

The more opponents you kill, the more experience you will accumulate.

Purchasing a premium account increases the accumulation of experience and credits several times. In fact, those who believe that spending real money on games is a stupid activity are wrong. Let's say we take the situation that you spend an hour of your time on the game. During a normal game, you earn ten thousand credits and several hundred experience points; with premium, this figure will double. Premium accounts are often distributed on New Year's holidays, February 23 or May 9, but they usually last only a few days.

But even during this time, with a positive result from battles, you can accumulate enough experience

Another proven way in world of tanks to quickly gain experience is to buy premium level 8 tanks; from the options you can choose the Soviet T34, KV-5 or the German “Lion” - well-proven combat vehicles for beginners and mid-level players. Thanks to the high efficiency rating of the listed tanks, you can gain several million credits and a decent amount of experience.

The main rule in WoT battles is to destroy as many targets as possible. Aim at all vulnerable spots, if the enemy gets you, hide in cover. The situation when you need to hide from enemy bullets sometimes helps if you are left alone in the team. The easiest way is to go to the base and wait for the enemy; when he is in sight, you need to knock him out.

You can try to capture an enemy base, but only if the enemy forces are weak, or there is only one weak target left there.

If you are going to join a platoon to gain credits or experience, then this is not a very good decision, because your team or a friend may be placed with strong opponents, then the process of getting a victory will be very difficult.

The “Master” class badge is needed mainly to decorate statistics. There is little practical benefit from this reward, since when viewing a profile, players pay attention to the win rate and average damage. Some people can only glance at the medals, but no one attaches much importance to them. In this article you will learn how to get a Master in WOT using almost any vehicle.

So, in World of Tanks we have 4 badges of class:

When calculating experience, multipliers and premium account bonuses are not taken into account, that is, the conditions are absolutely equal for all players. The exact amount of experience required to obtain a Master on a specific tank is constantly changing, so there is no single indicator.

However, there is a website where World of Tanks players post their replays day after day. This site has a special schedule for the minimum amount of experience required to obtain the Master class badge.

It is calculated strictly based on downloaded replays. This means that the information is incomplete and inaccurate, although it does provide some approximate figures. Experienced players on the forum say that masters are almost guaranteed if you gain 1800-2200 experience. But how to gain experience in such large quantities?

What is experience awarded for in World of Tanks?

Combat experience is awarded:

  • Causing damage to enemy tanks;
  • Critical damage to enemy equipment;
  • For damage to allies on vehicles that the player knocked down the tracks;
  • For detecting enemy tanks;
  • For damage to allies using vehicles discovered by the player;
  • For damage caused by your own “lighting” (up to +30% experience depending on the target’s level);
  • For allied damage to a target stunned by a player’s self-propelled gun (up to +30% experience depending on the target’s level);
  • For pushing/drowning enemy equipment;
  • For capturing the base;
  • For stopping the capture of your own base;
  • For survival in battle;
  • For active shooting during the battle;
  • For the total damage of the team;
  • For victory (+50% for each player).

If received platoon award , epic achievement or achievement "Battle Hero" , players on the losing team will receive the same amount of credits and experience as the winners.

Here's what experience is not awarded for:

  • Taking damage;
  • Ricochet;
  • Draws;
  • Defeats;
  • Shooting at allies;
  • Non-penetration;
  • For the survival of a tank in a battle from which the player left and did not return.

In addition, World of Tanks does not have special rewards for destroying all enemy vehicles.

Now about the main thing: how to get “Master” in World of Tanks on almost any tank? In fact, it is not difficult if you follow a number of recommendations.

  • Earn individual and platoon achievements. It was already said above that you can get a decent experience bonus for them even in case of defeat.
  • Attack and destroy higher level vehicles. The higher the target's level, the more experience you will receive for damaging or eliminating it.
  • Survive even in “drain” battles. Even if the team has no chance of winning, try to survive as long as possible and inflict maximum damage on your opponents. For example, you can have time to destroy enemy artillery and set out to capture a base to increase the amount of experience per battle. However, if there is a choice between finishing off the enemy and capturing the base, choose the former.
  • Show “Decent Resistance”. Even when the team loses the battle, remain one of the best. Help your allies and destroy enemy equipment.
  • Be as active as possible. Your tank should shoot as often as possible. You will also receive additional experience for damage based on your own intelligence and close contact with the enemy.
  • Detect and “harass” enemies. If you light up an enemy and/or knock off their tracks and your team damages them, you will receive bonus experience.
  • Play unpopular tanks. The logic is simple: the fewer players play on a particular tank, the less experience is required to receive the “Master” class badge. Accordingly, it is most difficult to obtain a master in level 1-2 techniques.

But don’t forget that “Master” is just a reward that doesn’t have the slightest meaning for other players, so purposefully “farming” it in WOT doesn’t make much sense.

Kinds

As mentioned above, experience is needed in order to upgrade equipment and its modules. There are four types in total in World of Tanks:

  • Combat - individual for each individual tank. When playing on any vehicle, 95% of the experience earned in battle goes only to it, to pump out its modules and the next equipment in this branch.
  • Free - you can spend it on upgrading any tank or module that interests you. Makes up 5% of the resource received in battle.
  • Crew experience - after the battle, each crew member receives the same amount of experience as the tank itself.
  • Combat experience accumulated on premium tanks and elite vehicles is available for conversion into free experience for in-game gold at the rate of 1 unit of gold = 25 units of free experience.

Accrual principles

In World of Tanks, to earn a lot of experience, you need to perform as many useful actions as possible during the battle. For some of them more experience is given, for some less. Here is a complete list of useful actions:

  • Causing damage to enemy tanks;
  • Disabling modules and crew members of enemy equipment, and the higher the level of enemy equipment relative to you, the more experience you will receive;
  • Causing damage to an enemy by your highlighting - you are given 10% of the experience received by an allied player for the damage he inflicts on the vehicle you illuminated;
  • Causing damage to an enemy standing on a track you knocked down;
  • Detection of enemy tanks, and for detecting an Artillery SPG you will receive 50% more experience;
  • Drowning or pushing enemy tanks;
  • A separate bonus for destroying an enemy tank is only for the one who earned the frag;
  • Capturing an enemy base - only for those who are on the capture, the more base points you have, the more experience you will receive;
  • Knocking down a capture from your base - the more capture points you knock down, the more experience;
  • An added bonus if you survive the battle;
  • Active combat operations - when enemy tanks fire a large number of shots near you, you are awarded a little experience;
  • The total number of damage points inflicted on enemy vehicles - have you ever noticed that when you win by quickly capturing a base, a very small amount of experience is awarded? The reason for this is precisely the influence of this coefficient. Damage is taken into account only for those tanks that were subsequently destroyed. There is also a widespread myth that if you destroy all the enemy's equipment, the team will be given a little more experience. This is not true - There is no separate bonus provided for the fact of complete elimination of the enemy team;
  • For winning you get +50% to the final experience;
  • If you lose for receiving a “Battle Hero” medal, an epic medal or a platoon medal, you will receive a bonus of 50%;
  • A premium account allows you to receive an additional +50% experience and credits for each battle.

The fastest ways to earn experience

In fact, there is not much advice that can be given on enhanced farming. You just need to play well, preferably, pull out all the battles; play with a premium account, which will significantly increase your earnings level; Also, with patch 0.9.9, it became possible to use personal reserves to quickly upgrade equipment.

Every day, “X2” stars appear on all tanks in your hangar - this means that for the first victory that day on this vehicle you will receive a double bonus. Often during in-game promotions conducted by Wargaming, this coefficient increases to X3, or even to X5.

How to upgrade your crew faster?

When you play with premium or elite vehicles, you can transfer all the experience the tank gains in battle into upgrading tankers. To do this, check the box next to “Accelerated crew training”:

Also, the least upgraded crew member, indicated by the “Tank Academy” badge (in the picture this is mechanic driver Lieutenant Kozlov), will receive twice as much experience as the rest. In addition, premium vehicles themselves have a 50% bonus to crew experience.

How to earn free experience?

The amount of free experience in World of Tanks directly depends on combat experience, and you can earn it in any battles. However, if you are ready to invest a sufficient amount of real money in the game, then you can transfer it from elite and premium equipment to free equipment for in-game gold. The conversion rate is 25 units of freedom for 1 unit of gold. In this way, playing exclusively on premium vehicles, you can explore entire branches of vehicles without having to fight a single battle on them.

To sum up this issue, we can say that the only way to earn as much experience as possible in World of Tanks is to play very well and win, because, let’s say, there are no cheats for it. Stick to battles, and leveling up your equipment will become a quick and enjoyable experience.
