ALL experience points come from combat. You will need to attack the bandit camps and win. These is explained in the many guides posted here.

This is very nice. For those wanting more you could offer:

So that you'll know how many of each type of building you will need for each resource chain:

So that you won't put your storehouses in dumb places:
http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/t...ding-Placement
(The video clips offer great information but you can also go right to the map near the end and place your storehouses on your island where they are shown on the example map. The author's (Sagesmurf's) recommended building layout around each storehouse is shown in the upper left corner of the map. The storehouse is in the "0" position. The other numbers represent one-way travel time in seconds.)

So that you'll know, relatively, which buildings to place in which positions in Sagesmurf's pattern:
http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/t...rom-storehouse
(You'll want to save the low-travel-time positions for the buildings most strongly affected by travel time.)

Gathering from resource nodes complicates things. In one of Sagesmurf's video clips he gives an example of a wood gathering node that he thinks works well. I decided that I wanted a storehouse as close to my coal mines as possible. In order to help you plan, check out:

Is there some tricky way to have "treasure search" quest done? My explorer doesn't find what I need for several days...

[The_Director]

Not realy, its just send them out there over and over untill you get what you are looking for.

Hi there! I'm totally new. I'm on level 14 and I've reached my population limit of 50. It seems like I don't get a residence option til level 15--but you listed it on level 5. Did I miss something? I'm very stuck. I would love some help. Thanks!
