As the latest MMO game released by Amazon, New World is slowly taking the gaming world by storm with its unique game content. Unlike most typical MMOs, New World is refreshing in terms of aesthetics and gameplay. This game has great appeal for new players. However, most players entering a brand new MMO game is likely to make some mistakes.
Thankfully, there are several ways players can avoid some common mistakes, which can make for a better New World experience. Let us introduce some common mistakes in New World, and I hope you can avoid these mistakes.
Mistake #1: Focusing too much on character building
There is no class system in New World, instead, your character type is determined by the weapon you use. In this game, the player’s role should pay more attention to two skills, namely trade skills and weapon skills.
Players can use trade skills to collect resources and turn them into various materials, preferably crafted into various items. Likewise, weapon skills allow players to gain access to various spells and attacks with the weapons they use.
So players don’t have to be too concerned about the type of character they want to build at the start of the game. We should spend more time exploring the game world and finding the right play style.
Second Mistake: Ignoring Combat Attributes in New World
While we can choose our preferred playstyle in New World, we shouldn’t neglect the weapons we use. For weapons to play a greater role in combat, we need to invest more attribute points. For this, we need to upgrade as soon as possible and use the acquired attribute points correctly.
As with most MMOs, in New World, each attribute can improve or enhance various effects of the weapon. For example, various strength-focused weapons require more strength attributes, while bows and muskets require more Dexterity attributes.
Third Mistake: Using only one weapon in New World
In New World, many players only focus on one weapon, which is not a good choice. If you focus on just one weapon, you won’t be able to deal with the complex battles in New World. So players should be proficient with more weapons to deal with more situations.
Players should be proficient in at least one ranged weapon and a melee weapon in this game. In this way, the player will not be disadvantaged no matter what enemy they face. If you want to use a more appropriate weapon, then you need to have a deep understanding of the weapons in the New World.
Fourth Mistake: Ignoring Health and Mana
Although in New World players can use all weapons to fight, if we ignore the growth of health and mana, it will be very dangerous. You may have the best weapons and skills in this game, but if you don’t have enough health and mana you won’t be able to survive long enough in combat. To avoid this situation, we should pay attention to the character’s health and mana.
In New World Focus is all about mana, and more investment will increase its regeneration efficiency. Constitution will increase the overall health of the player character, allowing our character to take more damage in battle.
Mistake #5: Ignoring Weights and Encumbrance in New World
Unlike other MMO games, weight is a very important element in New World. In this game weight affects the player’s performance in battle, so we should pay more attention to this element. In New World, all items have weight, including equipment, weapons, etc.
You can calculate the weight of equipment in New World according to the following formula:
Chest + Helm + Gloves + Legs + Boots = Armor Equip Load
When we equip weapons, we must pay attention to their weight, once it exceeds the maximum weight that the character can bear, then we cannot equip these weapons.
Mistake #6: Ignoring tool upgrades and improvements in New World
There are many tutorials about New World online now, so we can easily get the tools we need to complete most of the trading skills in the game. These tools include basic tools for crafting, smelting, and even gathering materials. So why should we care about these tools?
However, it’s easy for players to forget that when it comes to level progression, they’re likely to rely on these same tools. Upgrading these tools, or even replacing them with more advanced versions, will facilitate the progression of skills used by these tools, allowing players to maximize their time and output, as opposed to when they were solely dependent on basic tools.
Seventh Mistake: Not Using Trading Post in New World
In other MMO games, NPCs are generally used to play the role of merchants or sellers. In New World, players generally need to enter the Trading Post to sell or buy the required items.
Trading Post is easy to find, he is located in the settlement. Since the Trading Post is very close to the player’s storage shed, we can try to sell items we don’t need here. If you can invest more time, then you can make money by selling and buying items at Trading Post.
Eighth Mistake: Immediately Joining a Faction in New World
Since the economy in New World is player-driven, it’s easy for players to get lost in the idea of finding factions in the first place. After all, players only need to complete the “Dedication to a Cause” story to join, and there are many benefits to joining. For example, players can only join companies of the same faction, and players can only switch in PVP if they are in one faction.
However, if players don’t want to join a faction right away, they don’t have to rush to find it. For example, players who don’t want to deal with PvP pressure may choose not to join a faction. Likewise, players can only join a faction once every 60 days, which means they need to choose carefully before joining a faction.
Mistake No. 9: Skipping Out Camp
Players exploring new worlds may notice the option to create a Camp in the wild, but they may realize that they can’t create a Camp right away. This is because they need to enable Camp’s ability in an earlier mission. However, players should not ignore this, as Camp provides players with many benefits. In addition to being upgradable, Camp is the best place for players to craft tools and props in the wilderness. Most importantly, Camp is the player’s respawn point when facing stronger enemies.
Considering mounts don’t yet exist in the New World, this will help players spread out camps wherever they move around the map. This allows them to respawn in a camp rather than a distant hotel after dying.
Mistake #10: Hemp Is Wealth
Players should not focus on rarer materials and resources just to quickly refine rare materials and create more powerful items. For new players in New World, even the most common materials can become very important items in the progression of the level. For collectors, marijuana may just be wealth. Cannabis is one of the most common herbs, and players skip cannabis for other unique materials.
However, players shouldn’t ignore cannabis in the early game, especially since it allows them to craft some useful items early on. For example, hemp is a resource needed to make basic defensive clothing, and even fishing lines are needed to gather resources early on.
This article introduces 10 mistakes that are easy to encounter in New World. When we enter the New World, we should try to avoid the above mistakes.
