The rivercress (engl. Riverkress) is a plant in New World that is needed for the quest “Weakness of the Ego.” We at MeinMMO reveal where to find it and how to harvest the rivercress stem.
Where can you find rivercress? You can also win rivercress from rivercress stems. However, this plant only grows near water bodies such as rivers or lakes.
You will find it mostly in the areas of Everfall and Windsward.
A larger collection of rivercress can be found at the transition between the two areas near the northern fort of Windsward, as shown on the map NewWorld-Map:
In general, we recommend this map to find other resources like iron or oil as well.
What is rivercress used for? Most players will stumble upon rivercress when they want to complete the quest “Weakness of the Ego.” This is part of the main questline.
Another item for this quest is the flower cap, for which we also have a guide.
When can you harvest rivercress? You need gathering at level 30 for rivercress. Additionally, you need a sickle to harvest the plant.
New World celebrated its release yesterday, on September 28, but has since been struggling with queues. Amazon’s server capacity simply was not enough to handle the influx of players.
