[Guides] Forza Horizon 3 Fast Level Up and Skill Point Guide

RomkaZzz · Jul 10, 2017

If you are looking to level up faster in Forza Horizon 3, our guide below will help you achieve this by showing a method that will help you earn around 90.000 XP points in 10 minutes.

Without further ado, here is what you need to do to get easy Forza Horizon 3 XP and obviously Wheelspins.

In our video guide, we have used the Jaguar F-Type Project 7 Horizon Edition model, but you can use whatever car you want as long as it is a Horizon Edition and grants XP boost.

If you don’t know how to identify such a car, take a look at the image above and notice the pink mark on the right side, which specifies that the car is a Horizon Edition.

Assuming you don’t have such a car, try the auction house, although these cars can also be won at Wheelspins.

Next, upgrade your car to increase its top speed. If you don’t know how to do that, simply load an upgrade created by other players.

The next thing you have to do is to upgrade the Byron Bay Horizon Festival to level 5. For this you will need fans; therefore, complete more Races, Championships, Danger Signs, Speed Zones, Speed Traps, or Drift Zones.

Now, check your map and find the Goliath Circuit Race which is located on the beach, north from Byron Bay Horizon Festival.

Once you get to the location, you can opt to play a single Exhibition Race, or you can use a Blueprint to play six laps. It depends on how much time you have.

Before starting the race, modify the difficulty to fit your driving skills. Try to maximize the payout by changing the difficulty of Drivatars, the damage, or other aspects, but keep in mind that you need to win the race so don’t go all in if you don’t have
the required skills.

Now, all you have to do is to play and win the race.

Since the Goliath Circuit Race is rather a long event, it has the best payout, but you will need around 10 minutes to complete it, or 10 minutes/lap if you have multiple laps.

The tweaks made to the difficulty will affect the number of credits you earn, while the Horizon Edition car will double the XP points.

In the video below you can see that our car increased the number of points by 100% and with the added bonus from the lineup and the skills we have earned 90.000 XP on a 10 minutes race with one lap.

This means that if you pick 6 laps with the same settings, you will get 540.000 XP points in one hour.

However, there is a trick which you can use to further maximize the amount of XP points received at the end of the race. Go to the Skill Shop and buy the perk named “The XP Bump”. This will give you triple Skills XP for the next 3 campaign races, meaning
you get more XP from the skills performed during the race.

The Perk costs 10 Skill points, but if you are a good driver you can get 3 or more in a single lap from the Goliath Circuit. Therefore, if you are a good driver you can pay for the perk every 3 races, which is how long the perk lasts anyway. If you play
more than one lap during a single race you can profit even more.

If you don’t want to spend so much time in a race you can opt to find all XP Boards to level up faster.

[Guides] Forza Horizon 3 3 Stars Guide

Speed Traps
Getting 3 stars on all Forza Horizon 3 Speed Traps is easier than getting 3 stars on Drift Zones and Danger Signs PR Stunts; however, some of the Speed Traps Stunts in the game may require multiple retries.

In order to help you achieve this task we have created the following Forza Horizon 3 guide which reveals useful tips and on these specific Forza Horizon
3 Stunts.

The video game developed by Playground Games for PC and Xbox One, includes 29 Speed Traps.

On the map, a Speed Trap location is marked by an icon showing a road safety camera, as you can see in the image above.

To perform this type of stunt you have to drive as fast as you can through the road safety camera.

Similar to the Speed Zones, each Speed Trap in Forza Horizon 3 has 3 difficulty levels for which you will be awarded one, two or three stars.

Obviously, for the first two levels the requirements are lower, but for the last one you will have to drive very fast.

Here are some of the factors that will affect your speed while driving through a FH 3 Speed Trap.

First and the most important is the car you use. For your convenience, in our video guide we also reveal the models and the upgrades used by us when working on these PR Stunts.

The terrain is the second most important factor you have to consider when attempting a Speed Trap in FH 3.

Based on the first two factors we recommend buying the Ferrari F12TDF for the Speed Traps placed on asphalt and the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 for the traps placed on dirt and sand.

The upgrades you buy for the cars you play with, are very important as well. Look for upgrades that maximize your car’s speed, acceleration and launch, instead of braking.

Your starting point and the route you follow are also crucial for these stunts. Try starting from an area placed in a straight line with the Speed Trap in order to avoid unnecessary brakes, and pay close attention to the environment.

Avoid the traffic as much as you can or you will fail getting 3 stars. When you have to choose between hitting an opponent or hitting the brakes, always choose the latter.

Therefore, before running through a Forza Horizon 3 Speed Trap make sure you:

Check the leaderboards and see what cars have been used by other players to beat the required scores.

Watch our video guide below and pay attention to our starting points and the routes we have followed.

Upgrade your cars based on the terrain.

Use the rewind button every time you hit an opponent or object.

Practice and be patient. These stunts are accessible even to new drivers.

Speed Zones
The difference between Forza Horizon 3 Speed Zones and FH 3 Speed Traps is that for the first type of PR Stunts, you have to maintain a cumulative speed which has to be higher than the one required by the said stunt.

Simplified, this means that for a Speed Zone Stunt, the score is determined by your overall speed while driving on a specific segment of a road.

These PR Stunts are more difficult than the Speed Traps but easier than the Danger Signs and the Drift Zones available in the game.

In order to get three stars on such a stunt, you will have to beat the required speed, and below we will share several tips that might help you while working on achieving 3 Stars on all Forza Horizon 3 Speed Zones.

Forza Horizon 3 for PC and Xbox One features 21 Speed Zones, which are marked on your map by icons showing two road safety cameras, similar to those in the image above.

When you scroll on one of these icons you will notice a marked section which represents the zone where you have to drive as fast as possible.

Your performance on these Forza Horizon 3 Stunts is affected by multiple factors and the most important one is the car you decide to use. This factor works in correlation with the second one, which is the terrain.

While in the video guide below we use various models, we suggest you to try the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 for Speed Zones on difficult terrains (mud, sand and dirt) and the 2015 Koenigsegg One: 1 for Speed Zones placed on asphalt.

The second car is quite expensive, but you can use our method to get fast credits in Forza Horizon 3, if you don’t have enough funds. Alternatively, you can get more CR from the free Wheelspins awarded when you level up.

To level up faster you can start smashing XP Boards or simply use our Fast XP method.

Obviously, the car you decide to drive must be upgraded accordingly; therefore, you should maximize your car’s speed, acceleration and launch.

The launch is important because some of the Speed Zones feature multiple turns, thus you will be forced to hit the brakes often.

When you play a Speed Zone Stunt you have to remember that you are allowed to leave the road but you are not allowed to get too far from it. This means that you are also allowed to cut corners as long as you don’t go too far.

This trick will help you conserve your speed so remember it whenever you see a corner on the road.

Another important factor that will determine your overall speed is your starting point. It is a good idea to pick a starting point located in a straight line and as far as possible, because if you enter a Speed Zone at high speed, you won’t have to worry
about the speed you might lose when hitting the brakes.

Remember these five tips if you wish to get 3 Stars on all Forza Horizon 3 Speed Zones:

Always check the leaderboards to see what cars have been used by other players.

Cut the corners if possible but stay close to the marked route.

Avoid all obstacles you might encounter.

Upgrade your cars accordingly.

Enter each zone as fast as possible.

Last but not least, be patient and watch , as well as the cars and the upgrades that helped us achieve 3 Stars on all 21 Forza Horizon 3 Speed
Zones.

Now that you know how to level up faster in Forza Horizon 3, let’s see how you can earn more Skill Points while playing the racing video game on PC and Xbox One.

Again, for this guide we have created a video and for your convenience, below we will outline every step you need to follow to get more Skill Points as fast as possible in Forza Horizon 3.

Forza Horizon 3 Skill Points are very important because they allow you to unlock and buy new perks; hence, you should try these methods as soon as you can.

From the beginning, you should know that the more skill perks you buy the more skill points you will get in the game while using our guide.

As you can see in the video there are four special locations where you can farm Skill Points in Forza Horizon 3.

The first location (pictured above) is the highway which connects the Outback and Surfers Paradise.

To farm Skill Points here you need a fast car, such as Bugatti Veyron, Ferrari F12tdf, Hennessey Venom GT, Koenigsegg One:1, Koenigsegg Regera or any other car that can easily output more than 300 KM/h. You can even use a cheaper S1 car or a lower tier car
that has been upgraded to have a higher speed index.

Once you get the car, visit the Outback area and start driving on the highway towards Surfers Paradise, or the other way around.

The trick is to run as fast as you can, without hitting any of the obstacles on the road. However, most of the points don’t come from doing a high speed bonus, instead you accumulate a lot of ultimate near misses while travelling at that speed.

To earn Skill Points even faster, try doing this during a Skill Song and after you buy some of the following perks: Risk Taker, Passing the Pack, Wombo Combo, Skill Legend, Skills Boss, Hang On, Skill
Shortcut.

This method however, is for those with high driving skills.

If you prefer moving at lower speed and get more combos, then you should check the banana fields in Yarra Valley (pictured below).

Before going there, get a car powerful enough to smash the banana trees at normal to high speed. A car that weighs too little or has an insane acceleration won’t do good in the fields.

Now, all that’s left to do is to drive around hitting trees while drifting and driving as fast as you can so you don’t lose the combo.

Again, try doing this while a Skill Song is playing and after you unlock some or all of the following skills: Horizon Skill Song, Addicted to Destruction, Love Tap, Pilot Wings, Drift Star, Radio Star, Wombo
Combo, Skill Legend, Skills Boss, Hang On and Skill Shortcut.

The next area where you can farm Skill Points is located west of Outback Horizon Festival, and it is also known as Pink Lakes (see below). It is the same area you will have to visit while looking for one
of the Barn Finds.

This region is good for farming because at high speed you will be able to perform chained jumps, so make sure you drive a fast but stable vehicle. Moreover, the area is filled with destructible bushes, thus you can’t easily break the combo even when you
turn around to do another run.

Last but not least we have the fourth area which is the Redstone Airport. It is the perfect spot to farm points using drifts because the airport runways don’t have traffic and are wide enough to allow performing drifts.

Chain them using a BMW for example and you will farm skill points faster. Or even a better car for drifting is a 1974 Toyota Celica GT that’s been properly tuned to drift.

An important fact you should be aware of is that you can’t bank more than 300.000 points, so when your multiplier hits 300K stop farming. Continue only after your points are safely stored.

If you are lucky enough, although this rarely happens, you will trigger a Skill Song while listening the Timeless radio station. Some of the songs aired by the said station are very long (10 minutes or even more), which means that for 10 minutes
you will have the skills boost multiplier active.

But, again, you need to be very lucky.

You can beat this game without ever leveling up or spending skill points. There is no need for a guide.

AussieJoeBugner

True about the fast levelling thing - even the guide warns about that. No matter what trick you use to fast-level one skill you're character level will rise with it BUT other skills won't.

So you'll find yourself with a level 20 character, great at Smithing but whatever you do don't get into any fights - because you can't. And of course then trying to raise other skills to catch up at later levels is much harder.

Balance will win for you every time.

Drift Zones
Getting 3 stars on all Forza Horizon 3 Drift Zones is almost as hard as getting 3 stars in the Danger Signs PR Stunts and the tips and tricks in the guide below are meant to help you achieve those stars.

Unlike most of Forza Horizon 3 Speed Zones and FH3 Speed Traps, which are easier to complete with 3 stars, the Drift Zones Stunts will require quite a few tries, so be patient before attempting them.

There are 17 Forza Horizon 3 Drift Zones PR Stunts in the video game developed by Playground Games for PC and Xbox One.

[IMG]

To access all Drift Zones you have to upgrade each Horizon Festival location to its max level, unlike the Barn Finds, Reward Boards or Beauty Spots which are revealed by world discovery.

The Forza Horizon 3 Speed Zones are marked on the map with an icon depicting a sliding car and when you hover over one of these icons it will highlight the area in which you are allowed to perform the drifts.

On the actual road, such a zone is marked by green flags on both sides of the road. Your drift is calculated as soon as you hit the area between the first two flags, hence it’s a good idea to begin the drift a bit earlier in order to maximize the amount
you can get in the zone. Also, it doesn’t matter from which end you begin the drift, so experiment until you find what’s the most comfortable path for you.

To initiate a drift you press the E-brake button while turning left or right on your joystick.

Then immediately you have to counter-steer in the opposite direction to maintain control.

Press the throttle gently to prevent over-steering.

Moreover, don’t approach a Drift Zone at a high speed, because you will overshoot the designated area and you will fail the drift. While it is safe to decelerate or even stop inside a zone (though not recommended), you will also fail the drift if you turn
around the car.

To make a car drift with ease you can turn off the Traction Control and the Stability Controlsettings in the difficulty menu.

An advanced setting would be to turn the shifting to manual. This way you can keep the car in the desired gear all the time. When the RPM drops significantly shift to a lower gear to keep the wheels spinning and prevent them from gaining grip.

When you play solo use the rewind function to save some time and return to the start position fast. However, the Drivatars are the most annoying thing while playing solo, thus you can ask a friend to play in a private online freeroam session where you will
not be bothered by AI traffic.

While your skill can be an important factor in the Forza Horizon 3 Drift Zones, the car you decide to use is the essential one and can save you from a lot of frustration while attempting the PR Stunts.

If you are a beginner don’t jump to the fastest and most powerful car. Instead, choose a B-class or lower tier car that has a rear wheel drive (RWD). Tune up its power to make it more potent.

Invest in handling, launch and acceleration, because you don’t need top speed when you drift. Alternatively you can try a AWD car (all wheel drive), but it tends to have more grip which is not a good thing if you intend to drift.

If you don’t know how to fine tune your car for drifting search for a custom upgrade/tune file that has been developed by other players. Usually, hardcore players know their way around a car and will amaze you with the results.

We got 3 stars on all 17 Forza Horizon 3 Drift Zones using a 1974 Toyota Celica GT, which was tuned using a AWD Drift Tune. You can check the upgrade file that we downloaded in the video below.

While it can seem underwhelming at C-class we can assure you it was fine tuned to have an insane amount of power. You can also use the video if you want to see other cars suitable for drifting, along with the suggested tuning options.

The terrain is another factor that you should take into account. The car behaves differently on asphalt and gravel. When the rain starts it affects all the car physics and you will lose control more easily. The night makes the matter even worse due to low
visibility.

To get around the issue use the next trick. Fast travel to an already discovered Beauty Spot and the weather and time of day will change instantly. We suggest using the one at the crossroad in the Outback since it will make the weather sunny. Then return
to the Drift Zone.

Take these tips into consideration when attempting to get 3 Stars on all Forza Horizon 3 Drift Zones:

Check the global leaderboards to see what cars (and their performance index) have been used by other players.
Properly tune your chosen car.
Use the rewind button if you hit any obstacles.
Be gentle with the controls, especially the throttle.
Practice a lot and be patient.

Danger Sign

Getting 3 stars on all Forza Horizon 3 Danger Signs is one of the most challenging tasks you will face while playing the racing video game developed by Playground Games for PC and Xbox One; therefore, throughout
the following guide we will reveal several useful tips that should help you during the game.

The Danger Signs in Forza Horizon 3 are PR Stunts that award you fans required to unlock new Horizon Events or new Showcase Races; therefore, you will need to complete them as soon as you can.

While there is no need to get 3 stars on all Danger Signs PR Stunts, if you wish only to finish the game; if you are completionist, then you will have to work hard on these jumps, because some of them are extremely hard to beat.

Unlike the Barn Finds, Reward Boards or Beauty Spots, the locations of all Forza Horizon 3Danger Signs are revealed by unlocking all Horizon Festivals and by upgrading them.

Forza Horizon 3 is marked by a square icon with an exclamation mark, similar to those in the image above.

[IMG]

Once you find such an event, you will have to complete it by jumping as far as you can. This goal is quite accessible if you want to get one or two stars, but for 3 stars, things get really messy and your nerves will be put to a test.

Here are some of the factors that will determine the length of your jump.

The car you use for a Danger Sign PR Event is obviously the most important, and the video below shows the cars we have used to achieve three stars on all these stunts. Sometimes you will need fast cars, while sometimes you will have to switch to heavy cars.

Do not assume that the fastest car is also the best car, because you will be surprised.

For some stunts for example, you need smaller vehicles such as the Ariel Nomad, which is slower than a
Bugatti Veyron.

The weight of a car, or its traction will play a very important role as well.

Another factor is the starting point. In this case the starting point represents the location you pick to start moving towards the ramp.

When you choose a starting point, you need to look for an area without obstacles and traffic. Preferably the route between the starting point and the ramp should be a straight line. If there are any obstacles on your route, smash them before attempting the
jump.

The speed you have when you reach the ramp is also crucial. At higher speeds, your car will start to roll over, which means that you won’t be able to land safely. Again, choose your car carefully. Last but not least the way you touch the ramp with your car’s
front wheels will determine what happens next.

This means that you will have to be very careful on the moves you make on your way towards the ramp. For most of these signs your car’s front wheels must touch the ramp at the same time, but sometimes you might want to steer left or right a bit, to change
the trajectory of your car.

To successfully perform a 3 Stars Danger Sign Stunt, you should:

Check the leaderboards and see what cars have been used by other players.
https://youtu.be/kUPbQo9-1Ew.
Try to use the starting points in our video. We did our best to find the perfect routes.
Test various upgrades, especially those created by other players.
Use the rewind button every time you fail a jump.
Be patient. VERY PATIENT.

One of the most annoying Danger Signs in Forza Horizon 3 is the one from Timber Mill (last one in our video). For this sign, we have used the Ariel Nomad and to perform it we spent a lot of time. The trick here is to jump over the building behind the ramp,
and also land without hitting a single obstacle. What makes this sign so difficult is the route you need to follow because you can’t make any turns and the only straight route is between several trees. Nevertheless, we believe that it is the only route available
for this PR Stunt. Check the video below and if you have questions let us know. Keep in mind that you don’t need to get three stars to finish the game, but if you are looking for a challenge in Forza Horizon 3, this is the one. Different than the Speed Zones, Speed
Traps or Drift Zones, the Danger Signs also require a lot of luck, hence, multiple retries.
