In New World, you do not have to learn any particular profession. You level all from the beginning and can easily bring them all up to maximum level.
Additionally, you gather experience points through crafting and can level entire characters if you wish.
How does crafting work? You stand at a suitable workbench and begin crafting the respective item. Most recipes you have from the beginning, a few for housing you learn through random blueprints.
Crafting plays an important role in New World because you can create strong equipment with armor value 600 and improve your competency, something like item-level, even beyond 600. However, a lot depends on luck, as you do not know exactly which stats your item will get.
Additionally, there are rewards even beyond the maximum level of 250 when you continue crafting.
What New World offers
What else does the MMORPG offer? New World is a mix of sandbox and theme park MMORPG:
- You are not bound to a class in the game but can choose from 14 different weapons that you can level. Your playstyle results from the chosen weapon and the armor worn.
- There is an interesting housing system.
- In PvE, there are 12 different dungeons with mutations (increased difficulty levels) waiting for you.
- PvP players have fights in the open world, wars, and the outpost rush mode, where 2 groups with 20 players each can battle each other.
However, New World has faced a lot of criticism since its release. Additionally, player numbers are declining. Even the expansion Rise of the Angry Earth could not change that much: The MMORPG New World is currently struggling with declining player numbers on Steam, setting a new negative record.
