XP Boosting[]
As with most games, people are always looking for ways to "boost" their XP so that they can level up faster, thereby gaining access to larger and better items. One of the ways that can be achieved in TrainStation is by purchasing high XP decorations with gold earned by completing contracts. When leveling-up, your passengers are automatically set to the maximum.
The list below is compiled to aid in discovering which decoration from the permanent contractor shop is best suited for this task. All of the decoration on this list can be purchased for gold in the game store and can be purchased in unlimited quantities. Yes, you can buy decorations for gems that give much better XP, but that is not the focus of this page. These decorations can be purchased 100 or 200 or 300 at a time to speed the process of "boosting".
This list contains decorations and is limited in scope. If you want to see a comprehensive list of all decorations, please check out the Decorations pages.
Just a quick note regarding the XP/Cost and Cost/XP column headers. The XP/Cost header represents the ratio of how much XP you get per unit of gold you spend, so you want this number to be as large as possible. The Cost/XP header represents the amount of gold you spend per unit of XP, so you want this number to be as small as possible. You know you have the list sorted best to worst when the Pushkin Statue is the first decoration on the list.
Note: This table is automatically generated, using DPL to pull the data directly from individual item pages around the TrainStation Wikia. All errors in the table are errors from the individual item pages, not the game's database. The numbers in the game are always the correct values. If you find errors with a specific decoration, please correct those errors on the associated decoration page, or bring the error to an admin's attention.
