"Quick Tips to Boost Staff XP in Two Point Museum"

Authore: HarperUpdate:Apr 19,2025

From Experts and Assistants to Janitors and Security Guards, every staff member in *Two Point Museum* plays a crucial role. As staff gain experience (XP), they unlock better skills and become more efficient at their jobs. Here’s how to level up staff XP quickly in *Two Point Museum*.

How To Get Staff XP Fast in Two Point Museum

When staff members head off on Expeditions, certain events (be they good or bad) are only active when they have reached the necessary rank. Excluding these staff members from the trip could mean missing out on a valuable exhibit “+1 Quality” or even putting the team in danger.

While ranking does not affect a staff member’s day-to-day abilities, it does have value beyond the daily routine. Leveling up opens qualification slots, which can impact your museum’s daily operations.

Leveling up staff members can feel tedious and slow, especially when you're also running an enterprise, but there are key ways to maximize your staff’s experience without losing out.

1. Staff Assignments

Each of your staff members has a specialty, particularly if they have a qualification when hired. Staff continuously build their experience (although it's a slow process), so keeping them in the right role means they'll build XP while utilizing their skills.

For example, if an Expert has the Eloquent trait, assign them to leading tours. This not only builds their XP but also maximizes visitor buzz and knowledge, creating a win-win situation.

Assistants should work in areas best suited to their traits and talents. If an assistant excels at customer service, don’t hide them away in a marketing office. Keep them on the museum floor to get the best from them and your guests.

2. Train Staff Regularly

Training is a direct way to improve their effectiveness, even if it means they are temporarily off the museum floor. While staff don’t earn XP by training in *Two Point Museum*, training opens up the ability for them to progress and earn experience in the future. By building a training room and regularly training staff, you can ensure they learn new skills or improve existing ones, leading to a more efficient workforce in the long run.

Choosing a qualification during training that aligns with their job responsibilities is a good idea – this will help increase their XP quicker once they return to work.

Although expeditions mean that staff are absent from your museum, they are a great way to gain XP and level up. This is especially true when visiting areas of the map that offer higher levels of XP when using certain staff members.

The cargo item “XP-dition Journal” helps to increase the expedition XP by 15% and should always be considered when sending staff out on journeys. If another item isn’t directly required, consider using the journal.

4. Keep Your Staff Happy

A happy employee is a productive employee. If your staff members are unhappy, tired, or overworked, they will want to quit or take more breaks. Ensure you have enough staff so your museum workers aren’t overworked – but not so many that your staff are idle. Training your staff also increases their salary expectations. Keep an eye on finances!

So those are some key ways to quickly gain XP and level up your staff for a superior museum. Be sure to check out our other game guides!
