How to get experience faster in World of Tanks with premium

Experience decides how fast you climb the tech tree. Premium time and premium tanks multiply it, but only if you stack them with the free bonuses the game already gives you.

Where experience comes from

You earn experience for damage, spotting, capturing and surviving, and a win multiplies the result. The first victory of the day in each vehicle gives a large bonus. Premium account adds a percentage on top of everything. Reserves add another percentage. The bonuses multiply, so the order you use them in matters.

The stacking order

  1. Premium account. The base multiplier on every battle. Buy it in blocks when you know you will play.
  2. Experience reserve. Activate a two or three hour reserve at the start of your session.
  3. First victories. Play each vehicle you want to progress until it wins once. The daily bonus is the biggest single boost you get.
  4. Premium vehicle for crew. Move the crew into a premium of the same class between battles to train them while you earn credits.
  5. Missions. Check the daily and weekly missions for experience rewards and do the easy ones.
Reserves

Free experience and when to use it

A small share of every battle's experience becomes free experience that works on any vehicle. Keep it for the painful module grinds: a stock gun on a new tier VIII, a turret you need to be competitive. Do not spend it to skip whole vehicles unless you really hate one.

Blueprints

Blueprint fragments reduce the experience needed to research a vehicle. Universal fragments work on anything. Collect them from events and Battle Pass and apply them to the expensive high-tier researches.

World of Tanks blueprints
Blueprints are the free way to cut research costs at tiers VIII to X.

What not to do

  • Converting experience to free experience with gold at low tiers. Save that gold for slots and premium time.
  • Playing a vehicle after its first win when you have others waiting for theirs.
  • Running reserves while you are about to log off.

FAQ

Does premium account give more experience in World of Tanks?

Yes, it adds a percentage bonus to experience and credits in every battle, and it stacks with reserves and the first victory bonus.

What is the fastest way to research a new tank?

Stack premium account, an experience reserve and first victories across several vehicles, and apply blueprints to the research.
