The MMO New World has introduced its crafting system. Accordingly, it will be at least as important as the endgame raids in PvP and PvE.
This is crafting: From the start, you can gather resources and craft your first tools at your camp.
Over time, you will improve your skills and be able to gather, refine, and craft powerful items. You will have 16 different civil skills available to you, which are part of character development:
- 4 gathering skills – Mining, Skinning, Logging, and Harvesting.
- 5 refining skills – Smelting, Stonecutting, Woodworking, Tanning, and Weaving.
- 7 crafting skills – Weaponsmithing, Armoring, Jewelcrafting, Engineering, Arcana, Cooking, and Carpentry.
As you progress, you will not only improve the quality of the crafted items but also their quantity. At least crafting skills that create consumables like potions can end up being up to 30% more effective.
But weapons and armor also benefit from leveling up. Skilled smiths can craft low-rank equipment that is at least as good or even more powerful than weapons or armor of higher quality from less skilled smiths.
That’s why crafting is as important as the raids: Crafted items serve mainly as equipment until reaching the maximum level and as an entry into endgame. Good equipment is usually obtained in PvE raids or PvP battles.
New World does offer large PvE- and PvP battles that promise great rewards, but crafting is also brought into focus in Amazon’s MMO.
A master smith can create powerful weapons and armor through the right use of resources, which are at least as strong as anything else you can get in New World. However, there’s a small catch: the stats can vary and are subject to a certain degree of randomness.
You can only increase the chance of a socket for gems by using more resources. For example, if you want to increase the chance that your steel sword has a gem socket, you would need to use more steel in the crafting process.
The number of effects on an item can be determined by adding Azoth. Azoth is the magical resource in New World and is responsible for the corruption of the world. Certain effects, such as fire damage on the weapon, can also be enforced through specific rare ingredients that you find all over the world.
Therefore, anyone who wants to be successful with their guild in endgame needs good master smiths and other craftsmen to supply the team with equipment and consumables. Those who are not interested in raids can at least keep pace with crafting and thus defeat stronger monsters in the open world.
This is the easiest job of all: The only profession easier to exercise is carpentry. To decorate your own house, you can craft countless objects. This should be available to every player as quickly as possible, allowing even low-level carpenters to craft many items.
Crafted trophies or chests placed in the house grant you passive bonuses and increase the storage capacity of the settlement where your house is located. Each object in the house also increases the overall score of your accommodation and houses with the highest points are displayed visibly for all players in the settlement. Crafting therefore offers something for every player to keep them occupied in New World.
