New World MMO – Character Progression Guide

Hey, how are you awesome people doing today?? I hope you’re all doing great but we are here today to talk about an incredible new MMO called New world! New world will be fully releasing on august 31st.

New world is an MMO being developed by Amazon games. They’ve only developed and fully released one game prior to this Crucible, which was a large failure and only had the servers run for under a half-year. However, New World seems to be their true flagship game as more and more people are playing the closed beta that is running through July 20th – August 2nd. I personally have already put a lot of time into the game, and have been loving every second of the experience they’ve created.

New World Attributes

New World has an interesting take on MMO’s as they’ve created a classless system that is very unique in the MMO landscape. Normally in MMO’s you’d pick a class and the class would have certain abilities based around an aspect of gameplay. However, in New world, you can change your playstyle at a moment’s notice by switching weapons and resetting your attribute points for a small price.

New World Attributes

New world attributes contain 5 different attribute categories in New World. Each attribute class also has Milestones at 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, and 300. Each milestone grants a more powerful bonus than the last and can be used to create synergy between the attributes.

The max points you can get purely from levels is 190 for attributes and additionally, you can gain attribute points from equipment. In New World, it is a very unique progression system as there are no defined classes. This allows you to really be creative and switch around everything at a moment’s notice.

New World Trading Skills

In New World, they’ve implemented a farming skill tab that is pretty normal to most MMO genre games. However, in this farming tab its split into 3 different categories going from gathering to refining to crafting. New world has a lot of different resources to collect so check this resource guide out.

Gathering

The gathering category is comprised of 5 skills. Logging is the harvesting of trees and lumber. Mining is the act of breaking boulders and mining ore. Fishing is locating a nice fishing spot with bait. Harvesting is the collection of alchemical herbs and plant fibers. Tracking and skinning are about hunting down animals and skinning their hides.

As you level up each of the gathering skills you will unlock new resources to collect.

Refining

The refining category is comprised of 5 skills that refine the resources you collect. Woodworking is the refining of wood and lumber. Smelting is the refining of ores. Weaving is the refining of plant fibers. Leatherworking is the refining of animal hides. STone cutting is the refining of stone and gems.

Refining skills will be leveled up as you refine the raw resources. As you level your refining skills you will be able to craft higher quality materials.

Crafting

In New World, the crafting category comprises 7 different skills that use the resources refined and gathered to craft items. Weaponsmithing uses ingots that have been refined from ore to craft weapons and tools. Armoring craft armors with refined resources. The engineering tree crafts ranged weaponry and ammo such as the bow or musket. Jewel crafting makes trinkets with refined ores and jewels. Arcana is used for crafting potions, tinctures, and magical weapons these items are crafted from alchemical ingredients. Cooking allows you to craft food that increases health and Magicka regeneration. Furnishing allows you to craft furniture for your homes. Also, the only place you can currently craft is in settlements and some towns do have tax fees for crafting, depending on the faction it could be lower or higher. Also, items that are crafted are tiered 1-5 and to craft the higher-level items the workbench needs to be either the same or greater tier of the item crafted.

In conclusion, You should try to level these skills as fast as you can and reach level 60. This will allow you to take full advantage of the player market and become a PVP god among your faction. New world is still in closed beta until august 2nd and will fully release on august 31st so be ready. Hope to see you in Aeternum. 🙂
