Key Takeaways
- The fastest First Sea route focuses on high-value enemies and bosses.
- Blade, Light, and Ice are some of the strongest early grinding options.
- Server hopping can speed up boss farming.
- Save most 2x EXP codes for later seas, but use a few during high-value First Sea grinds.
- Avoid quests that take too long for the EXP they give.
- Your goal is to reach Level 700, then move on to Second Sea.
Best Starting Strategy for First Sea
When you first spawn, you’ll start at either the Pirate Starter area or Marine Starter. From there, you have a few possible routes depending on how aggressive you want to be.
Option 1: Rush Fountain City Early
One fast-start method is to buy a boat and head straight to Fountain City. There, you can fight Galley Pirates even though they are far above your starting level.
The strategy is to damage a Galley Pirate until it is low, then activate a 2x EXP boost before finishing it. This can give a huge early level jump.
This route is risky because the enemies are much stronger than you, but it can speed up the beginning of your First Sea grind if you can survive and secure kills.
Option 2: Buy Blade Fruit Early
Another strong option is to check whether Blade Fruit is in stock. Blade costs 30,000 Beli, so you may need to collect treasure chests and server hop until you have enough money.
Pirate Village is a useful early place to collect chests. Once you have Blade, it can carry you through much of First Sea because it has reliable attacks and strong grinding potential.
Option 3: Follow the Standard Island Route
If you don’t want to rush high-level enemies or server hop for money, you can follow the standard leveling route. This is slower than the aggressive methods, but it is safer and easier for brand-new players.
The rest of this guide covers the recommended level-by-level path.
Best Fruits for First Sea Grinding
Your fruit choice matters a lot in First Sea. A good grinding fruit can save hours, while a weak or awkward fruit can make even simple quests feel slow.
Why Blade Is Strong Early
Blade is a strong early fruit because it gives you practical attacks for grinding and can carry you through a large portion of First Sea.
If you manage to get Blade early, avoid replacing it with weaker or less efficient options just because they look interesting. For this route, Blade is especially valuable because it helps with consistent farming.
When to Replace Blade
The main fruits worth replacing Blade with are:
- Light
- Ice
Both are excellent First Sea fruits because they are strong for grinding and can help you farm enemies more efficiently.
You generally should not replace Blade with fruits like Flame, Smoke, Sand, or Dark if your goal is simply to follow the fastest route in this guide. Those fruits can work, but Blade is usually better for this specific leveling path.
Elemental Fruits and Immunity
Elemental fruits are useful because they can make certain enemies unable to damage you once your level is high enough relative to theirs.
That means you can group enemies, attack safely, and grind with less downtime. Light and Ice are especially strong because they combine good grinding tools with useful movement or control.

Blox Fruits First Sea Leveling Route
Below is the recommended First Sea route from Level 1 to Level 700.
Levels 1–75: Starter Island, Jungle, and Pirate Village
Start with the basic early quests and move quickly from island to island.
Recommended route:
- Level 1–10: Farm Bandits.
- Level 10–15: Go to Jungle and farm Monkeys.
- Level 15–20: Farm Gorillas.
- Level 20–30: Fight Gorilla King.
- Level 30–40: Go to Pirate Village and farm Pirates.
- Level 40–55: Farm Brutes.
- Level 55–75: Farm the Chef boss.
The Chef boss is especially useful because boss farming can be faster than farming regular NPCs. If the boss is not available, server hopping can help you find a fresh spawn.
You can skip Desert Bandits because they are not efficient enough compared with the Chef boss route. They may give similar EXP, but they take longer to defeat.
Levels 75–220: Desert, Frozen Village, and Vice Admiral
After Level 75, continue moving through higher-level quests, but don’t blindly farm everything.
Recommended route:
- Level 75–90: Farm Desert Officers.
- Level 90–100: Go to Frozen Village and farm Snow Bandits.
- Level 100–105: Farm Snowmen.
- Level 105–130: Farm Yeti.
- Level 130–220: Farm Vice Admiral.
The guide recommends skipping Chief Petty Officer because the extra EXP is not worth the time. Instead, farming Vice Admiral gives better value.
You can also skip Skylands during this stage and stay focused on Vice Admiral. If you get bored, you can switch later to:
- Level 190: Prisoners
- Level 210: Dangerous Prisoners
This works best if you are using Blade, Light, or Ice because those fruits make it easier to group and defeat enemies.
Levels 220–350: Prison Boss Farming
At Level 220, move to Prison and focus on boss farming.
Recommended route:
- Level 220–230: Farm Warden.
- Level 230–240: Farm Chief Warden and Warden.
- Level 240–350: Farm Swan, Warden, and Chief Warden.
This is one of the best points in First Sea to use a 2x EXP code, because you are farming multiple high-value bosses.
Server hopping is very useful here. Not every boss will be available on every server, so switching servers can reduce waiting time and keep your EXP gain moving.
Levels 350–475: Magma Admiral and Underwater City
At this stage, your next major target is Magma Admiral.
If you have a strong grinding fruit like Ice or Light, you can farm Magma Admiral until around Level 375, then move on.
If your setup is weaker, you can stay on Magma Admiral until around Level 425.
Once you move to Underwater City, follow this route:
- Level 375–400: Farm Fisherman Warriors.
- Level 400–425: Farm Fisherman Commandos.
- Level 425–475: Farm Fish Lord.
Fish Lord is the key boss here and can carry you through the final part of this level range.
Levels 475–625: Skylands
After Underwater City, move into the Skylands route.
Recommended route:
- Level 475–500: Farm Shandawas.
- Level 500–525: Farm Whisper.
- Level 525–550: Farm Royal Squad.
- Level 550–575: Farm Royal Soldiers.
- Level 575–625: Farm Whisper and Thunder God.
When both Whisper and Thunder God are spawned, defeat both. If only one is available, either wait or server hop.
This section can feel repetitive, but boss farming keeps it much faster than relying only on standard NPC quests.
Levels 625–700: Fountain Island
The final First Sea stretch happens at Fountain Island.
Recommended route:
- Level 625–700: Farm Galley Pirates.
Even though there are other quests available, Galley Pirates are the most efficient option for this route.
You can skip:
- Cyborg
- Galley Captain
These enemies take longer, deal more damage, and do not give enough extra EXP to justify the time.
This is another good place to use a 2x EXP code if you want to finish First Sea faster and reach Level 700.
When to Use 2x EXP Codes
Do not waste all of your EXP codes in First Sea.
A common mistake is activating every code early, then reaching Second Sea or Third Sea without any boosts left. Since later seas have longer grinds, saving codes is usually smarter.
Good First Sea moments to use EXP codes include:
- When killing high-level enemies early, such as Galley Pirates.
- During Vice Admiral farming.
- During Prison boss farming.
- During the final Fountain Island grind.
Use codes when you know you can keep farming efficiently for the full boost duration. Avoid activating them when you are traveling, waiting for bosses, or still figuring out your next quest.

First Sea Stat and Build Tips
For most fruit-focused players, you do not need to over-invest in energy early.
A good target is around 700 to 1,000 energy. That should be enough for fruit grinding without wasting too many stat points.
In First Sea, avoid spreading your stats too thin. You generally do not need to invest heavily in guns or swords early unless your build specifically depends on them.
A simple First Sea approach is:
- Put enough points into energy to use your abilities comfortably.
- Focus on your main damage source.
- Use your fruit or fighting style consistently.
- Avoid splitting points across too many categories.
If your main damage comes from a fighting style, you may need more energy. If your main damage comes from your fruit, keep your build focused around that.
Extra First Sea Tips Before Second Sea
Before you leave First Sea, there are a few useful things to unlock or collect.
Unlock Saber
The Saber puzzle is worth completing because Saber can be useful later. Even if you are mainly using fruit, having access to Saber gives you more options.
Unlock Instinct
Instinct is also worth unlocking as soon as possible. It helps with combat, dodging, and overall survivability.
Get an Early Accessory
Accessories like Black Cape or Coat can give useful boosts to health, energy, or damage. Getting one before later islands can make the grind smoother.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Farming every quest
Not every quest is worth your time. Some enemies take too long or give too little EXP compared with nearby bosses.
Replacing a good fruit too early
If you have Blade, don’t replace it with a fruit that looks cool but slows down your grind. Light and Ice are the main upgrades worth prioritizing.
Wasting EXP codes
Only use EXP codes when you are ready to farm efficiently. Saving most of them for later seas is usually the better long-term move.
Ignoring server hopping
Server hopping is one of the best ways to speed up boss farming. If a boss is missing, switching servers can save time.
Over-investing in the wrong stats
Avoid spreading points across guns, swords, fighting styles, and fruit all at once. A focused build levels faster.
