From my current Level of 34, how many days should I play to reach Level 40 and be able to submit POI? šŸ˜‚ I need to divide my time with Ingress Level 8 to 10ā€¦ šŸ˜ ---

Depends on how active you are and what you do in the game (what I mean with the last part of the sentence is that, for example, if you play for at least 5 hours every day but you are only Shiny checking, itā€™ll still take forever to hit that Level40). ---

So many factors affect the time that any estimate is liable to be off by months. For me, from 38 to 40 _seemed_ to take almost as long as from 1 to 38, maintaining the same general quantity and style of play for the most part. But I wasnā€™t paying very close attention to the process, and in the two years since then Niantic has added some XP-building shortcuts that might affect that. There are some fairly detailed guides on other sites for what you ask. Iā€™m sure you searched already; but here is one with some useful info: > **[Level up fast with these tips to maximize your XP](https://www.imore.com/pokemon-go-xp)** > > Lucky Eggs, Legendary Raids, grinding, mass-evolving, and all the other tricks you need to gain XP and level up fast! ---

Little (but important) tip: Before you open a gift from a friend who isnā€™t already Best Friend level, look at the friendā€™s avatar on the friends list. Youā€™ll see all of them have a shaded circle (yellow, pink, or light blue) which indicates their team. Around some of them youā€™ll often see a ring or halo of light blue, which indicates that your friendship level with them has increased that day (and the level can only increase one time per-day). ![Screenshot_20190606-102051_Pokmon%20GO](https://pokemongohub-forum-bucket-v2.s3.amazonaws.com/original/3X/8/7/87511a8a9f57805225dd67f5902ddacac44ee085.jpg) So if the halo is there for that friend, wait until the next day to open their gift and get the friendship-level-increase credit associated with opening a gift. ---

Itā€™s like @Jormdeworm said it depends on how active you are, for me i went from 35 at the beginning of the year to being 300,000 xp from 39. I caught everything while using lucky eggs as well as timing all my best friend lvl ups so I can max how much XP I could get ---

Since its adventure week now and new stops award 10x XP (double with lucky egg), id say you could reach it this week? Its normally 250 xp. So now 2500\*2 (lucky egg) = 5000. 5.000.000 (level 39 to 40) /5000 = 1000 stops. Thats 2 or 3 large citys i think? Depending on your defenition of large. ---

you only get 2050 xp per new stop. 50 xp for the spinning and 10x200 xp for the new stop. Itā€™s the same as last year. Still insane xp ---

ah ok. So 4100 with a lucky egg. 3 or 4 citys then šŸ˜› For POI submission its good, but for the quallity of your accountā€¦ not so much. Youll be a level 40 player with level 36 pokemon cause you dont have the Stardust to power up stuff. ---

The site tells me this: 1 YEAR, 3 MONTHS. I think it is earlier. Because I slowly get more strong pokemon. So more xp from raids will help speed it up. ---

The site tells me itā€™ll take me nine more months, but I make more than 1M XP per month, so itā€™ll never take me more than 5 months. [Next page](https://forum.pokemongohub.net/t/how-many-years-to-level-40/21692.md?page=2)
