New World has released the new patch 1.3.1 today. This fixes several bugs related to the major monthly update. Included is a fix for the bag of juniper berries, which some players had exploited.
What are the highlights of the update? The new update is very small and only addresses bug fixes that were introduced with the monthly patch 1.3. The biggest change concerns the bag of juniper berries. It is currently dropped 3 times a day by random mobs and brought between 50 and 150 Talers before the patch.
However, some players seem to have exploited the system by repeatedly creating new characters and temporarily storing the gold. Therefore, Amazon is introducing a fix that now provides Talers based on the level:
- Level 1-9 – 1-5 Talers
- Level 10-19 – 5-15 Talers
- Level 20-29 – 10-30 Talers
- Level 30-39 – 20-50 Talers
- Level 40-49 – 30-75 Talers
- Level 50-59 – 40-150 Talers
- Level 60 – 50-200 Talers
Further bug fixes have been made regarding housing, dropping items, and various weapons.
When will the patch be applied? The update was released today, February 3rd, at 8:00 AM German time. The maintenance is expected to last two hours, until 10:00 AM.
New World Patch 1.3.1 – Patch Notes
General Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug where quickly dropping and picking up items could cause them to disappear from the bag and inventory.
- Fixed a bug where the collision geometry at region edges could disappear.
- To prevent an exploit regarding the limited-time bags of juniper berries and to introduce a level of progression and potential extra Talers for players in the endgame, we have adjusted the Talers rewards as follows:
- Level 1-9 – 1-5 Talers
- Level 10-19 – 5-15 Talers
- Level 20-29 – 10-30 Talers
- Level 30-39 – 20-50 Talers
- Level 40-49 – 30-75 Talers
- Level 50-59 – 40-150 Talers
- Level 60 – 50-200 Talers
- The way data is stored in the housing system has been revised. This is to prevent players from losing their homes or items within them.
- Fixed a bug where players, after leaving the game and logging back in, could not fast travel home or respawn at home.
- Known issues: The weekly mutators schedule may not cycle properly. We have added additional code to address this issue.
- Speculative bug fix:
- Fixed a bug where the UI would briefly select the wrong item after scrolling. Now, the item selected is always the one under the cursor at the time of the click. We suspect this caused players to accidentally break down the wrong item.
Combat Updates
- Void Gauntlet
- Fixed a bug where “Healing Dodge” reset the shortest active cooldown.
- Rapier
- Fixed a bug where sheathing the rapier after triggering dodge gave players a permanent bonus to movement speed.
- Ice Gauntlet
- Fixed a bug where “Mighty Storm” of the Ice Gauntlet increased damage for all player types, not just Ice Storm.
