Now that New World Season 5 has released the highly anticipated 5.0.1 update, it's time to delve deep into the patch notes and explore the myriad of changes and additions it brings to the game. Let's dissect each aspect of this update to gain a comprehensive understanding of how it affects the New World experience.

In the general release notes, several fixes have been implemented. One addresses an issue where patch deltas could occasionally be larger than necessary, leading to extended client download times. This was a problem I personally encountered, but from now on, patches should be more reasonably sized for download.

Additionally, a common game crash that emerged with the initial release of New World Season 5 has been resolved, along with a prevalent server crash. In order to enjoy a smoother gaming experience, we can prepare some New World Coins in advance before the game starts.

In-Game Experiences

In terms of in-game experiences, a fix has been applied for a situation where players could become stuck in a falling state. Another issue, where player characters would cease animating when falling off ledges or in the midst of upper body animations like spell-casting, has been rectified. Furthermore, a rare problem preventing runes from appearing in the Winter Forge Rune puzzle has been addressed.

Slayer Script

In terms of combat, significant updates have been made to the Slayer Script. This overhaul transitions the combat and background system to native C++, facilitating easier debugging. Regarding the Slayer script adjustments, various exploits have been addressed.

For the Spear weapon, an exploit requiring weapon swapping and dropping to gain additional damage has been rectified. Similarly, several exploits related to the bow weapon, which involved third-party software or action canceling to boost damage, have been fixed. Another exploit involving character movement velocity during certain ranged attacks, allowing players to reposition at a higher speed while crouching, has been resolved.

For the issues causing delays in casting abilities, like the Ice Storm Mastery of Ice Gauntlet, and the Berserking Purge ability of hatchet failing to cleanse crowd control effects have been corrected. Problems with the Sword and Shield weapons allowing unchanged heavy attacks as the third action in the list of Trinket Chains has been addressed.

Furthermore, fixes have been implemented for the Heartrune of Stoneform's explosion at the end of its ability duration and for the accuracy of non-hit scan weapons' projectiles, ensuring they follow expected trajectories indicated by aiming crosshairs.

Artifact Changes

Here are some changes related to artifacts in the 5.0.1 patch note:

• They addressed an issue with the Tempest Fury artifact, ensuring that it consistently provides extra spins while attacking.
• Another issue fixed was with the Lifetaker artifact, resolving an error related to the type of damage it dealt, making it valid and functional.

Other Fixes

There are also some fixes for the economy, progression, and gear in the New World 5.0.1 patch note. Crafting Recipes that previously failed to produce the intended item, such as research projects or camp skins, have been rectified.

In addition to this, Diamond Gypsum, which became unattainable because of a previous issue, can now be obtained again. It is available in ritual pouches acquired by closing major corruption breaches across the open world. These ritual pouches provide various alchemic crafting materials, potions, some coin, and a single Diamond Gypsum, with a daily limit of 3.

Welcome to this new guide to New World. In Season 5, I recommend you focusing on farming all the new artifacts early on, and I have discovered a simple method to farm for the Phoenix artifact specifically. That’s what I want to share with you today. Let's get started!

In previous Seasons, it was often worth going for targets that have 2 mob types so you can check off multiple boxes in that regard. But now, you can often check off multiple weapon types at once or multiple stamps with a single weapon type, which I think is a lot more effective. In order to maximize that, you just need to kill quickly and have a lot of mobs around you.

Farming Location

Phoenix is on the Season Pass and requires you to get to Level 80. People have been using the usual farming spots, but I found that the ones that I was familiar with from previous seasons didn’t feel that effective for farming this season.

The place I chose is likely familiar for many of players - the Windsward. Firstly, it boasts numerous mobs that are easily visible from a distance, comprising 2 types: ancients and beasts. Moreover, there are additional beasts just outside the temple, so you can complete those 2 fairly easily.

Stamp Collection & Strategy

There are also 2 named mobs fairly close to each other in this area. Killing named enemies counts as a shield activity, so that’s the major way that we’re getting stamps in that regard. For the leaf stamps, we are going to use the Void Gauntlet. This one just requires you to get 10 mob kills with the Void Gauntlet.

You can also do this a bit quicker by just dropping an Oblivion on a mob and then using another weapon, so you can get multiple at once. If you’re extra lucky, you are asked to kill 10 enemies with a magical weapon because that one counts as a sword, but you can complete it at the same time as the Void Gauntlet one, so you get 2 stamps out of that.

The other stamps that you want to look for on the sword side are the one-handed kills, two-handed kills, and the ranged weapon kills, which include Blunderbuss, Bow, and Musket. This is also where you’re looking for ancients and beasts kill. Prepare a certain amount of New World Coins in advance can help you defeat them faster.

Flask

The flask or bottle stamp is the only one that takes a bit more preparation because one way that you can easily get this is by salvaging Tier 5 items. The mobs here don’t drop Tier 5 items, so you need to bring a lot of those with you if you want to be fully prepared.

If you want another method, but I’m sure you can also just grab the resources for Tier 5 consumables that can be crafted at your camp and craft some of those instead. I think it’s a bit more effort because you always have to go back to your camp.

Logging Axe & Skull Stamps

That still leaves us with the Logging Axe stamp and the Skull stamp. My approach was to pretend they don’t exist. You never need to complete more than 3 stamps in a row because you can just use a Wild Stamp at that point and clear out the fourth one, so mostly you just end up not doing them.

Though, there are some exceptions. If you’re really short on stamps and you get really unlucky with your rolls, then you might need to go for the 'Gather 500 resources' at some point and chop some trees nearby. I think it slows you down, but maybe there’s a situation where this is necessary.

Artifacts are rare items found in New World. These items provide unique perks that can change the way you play the game. With the arrival of New World Season 5, 8 new artifacts have been added to the game. These Artifacts can be found in Expeditions, Open World, PVP Reward Track and more!

In this guide, we’ll cover the fastest way to find these 8 new Artifacts in Season of the Guardian, and explain the new method of obtaining Artifacts on Season 4 Reward Track. Let’s get started now!

New Way To Get Season 4 Artifacts

First, let’s review some of Season 4’s Artifacts, which now have new ways to obtain them.

Winged Leather Shoes

The first thing we want to mention is Medium Footwear, Winged Leather Shoes, which increases your base haste duration by 50%. This artifact now drops from Open World boss Helianthus, who can be found in Wild Legion.

Quickdraw Gloves

And then we also have Light Gloves, Quickdraw Gloves. This glove enhances your reflexes and allows for quick weapon draw and lightning-fast reactions in combat. This Artifact now drops from Open World boss Ipomoea, who you can find in Elysian Wilds.

I need to remind you that if you hope to defeat these Open World Bosses and get artifacts as quickly as possible, it is crucial to spend some New World Coins to get a decent gear!

Pity System

It is also worth noting that a new Pity System has been added to artifacts this season, which guarantees a certain number of kills to obtain artifacts. This is a great new addition for those less fortunate players out there. However, the exact number used by Pity System has not been disclosed.

How To Get All New Artifacts?

But now let’s take a look back at 8 Artifacts featured in New World Season of the Guardian.

Free Version Of Season 5 Season Pass

First, we will have the two artifacts that can be obtained from the free version of Season 5 Season Pass.

Creed Boots: First up, we have Light Footwear, Creed Boots, which deal 15% extra damage and 25% critical chance as long as you don’t hit the target within 20 seconds. It drops at level 20 in the free version of Season 5 Season Pass. But a new way to get it will be revealed in Season 6.

Phoenix: And then we also have Amulet Jewelry, Phoenix. When you take fatal damage, it will help you avoid death and become invincible for 4 seconds, after which you die. It drops at level 80 in the free version of Season Pass. Likewise, new ways to obtain it will be revealed in Season 6.

Trial Bosses

Next we have some Artifacts that will drop from Trial Bosses in New World.

Nature’s Wrath: First up, we have Medium Chest Armor, Nature’s Wrath, which makes empower expires 200% faster but deals 20% more damage. This artifact is dropped by Zygoramet boss in Spriggan Arena.

Venom: Next we get Venom Spear, which lets you inflict poison on enemies when making a melee attack with either weapon, and increases weapon damage by 20%. This artifact is dropped from Siren Queen boss in Siren Queen Trial in Spire of Melpomene.

Gilli’s Gravity Gauntlets: Then we have Heavy Glove, Gilli’s Gravity Gauntlets. Whenever you take damage, you gain an empowerment charge, increasing the damage of your next attack by 3%. Avarice drops this artifact in Eternal Pool Arena.

Other Methods

Finally, we look at Artifacts that can be dropped in different ways.

Sin: First, we have Sin Hatchet, which will increase the duration of your debuffs by 25% and increase the damage done to the target by 2% for each debuff. This artifact is dropped from Open World Boss, Colossus of Memnon, located in Brimstone Sands.

Ironheart: Next we have Heavy Legwear, Ironheart. When not in heavy load-out, it increases your maximum health by 20%. This artifact can be obtained at the third checkpoint on PVP track as long as your track level reaches 29.

Tempest Fury: Finally we have Great Axe, Tempest Fury. It gives you 3% movement speed for 3 seconds after a successful attack. Also, Whirlwind no longer needs to hit a target to continue spinning, and can spin up to 12 times. This artifact is a reward for completing Winter Rune Forge Trial and can be obtained up to twice per week.

All in all, this guide covers all the new Artifacts dropped in Season 5. What are your favorite new Artifacts? Happy gaming!

In this guide, we’ll share one of the best ways to make money in New World, and that’s by flipping any kind of item on Trade Post. We’ll walk you through it and give you some items to get started.

So far, I have introduced many ways to earn New World Coins. But today we’re going to explore what is probably the easiest and most effective way to make money. Because flipping a Trade Post is so easy to do, you can do it with almost any item.

But be warned, it can get boring after a while, which is why I often do other money-making things from time to time. To keep things interesting, what we’re going to focus on is how to find the flip items that work for you on your server, how to handle them, and effectively maximize profits.

Refining Components

An easy and inexpensive way to start flipping is with Refining Components. Because these items are in high demand among crafters and they are easily available, many of these items are bought and sold in the market every day. But just look for Obsidian Flux, Obsidian Sandpaper, Aged Tannin, Pure Solvent or Wireweave.

Click on a buy or sell order to see if the sell order is much higher than the buy order. If there is a buy order, please buy as many items as possible and set the post time to one day to reduce trade tax fees.

I do this for every Refining Component that makes me a profit and put it into an order of 10,000 and wait until they are all bought. The entire process usually only takes a few hours and you can make a handsome profit.

Note that when selling, be sure to check your list of completed and expired purchase orders to see what price you paid for the item, so you know you will one day make a profit on your investment.

Often, the items you bought the day before may have dropped in price and the profit isn’t that high, but you can wait another day or two until the price rises again and then sell those Refining Components. Adding these to your daily routine can allow you to earn crazy amounts of gold every week.

In the past three days, I didn’t have time to play much, other than looking for Components alone, and only had time to place a buy and sell order each day.

I managed to buy 25,000 components for 2,290 gold and sell them for 6,650 gold. Taking into account Trade Post tax, which is worth about 100 gold coins, I made a total of 4,260 gold coins in passive profit. Not bad for a little work, you can actually go a step further.

Flipping Tips

If you are new to flipping and don’t have a large stash of New World Coins to start with, I highly recommend practicing by flipping these simple items and incorporating them into your daily life will do wonders for your gold stash.

Once you’re familiar with the concept of flipping, you can easily use it for almost any item on Trade Post. You just look for any item and check the buy and sell order price as before. If there are good enough profits to be made, then don’t forget to consider Trade Post taxes. So don’t try items that won’t generate much profit, it will just make you busy in vain.

Flip Cooking Materials

I also love using my Refining Components to flip cooking materials, especially those used for high-end food preparations. Because these items are in high demand among chefs, buying and selling them can bring in substantial profits.

All you have to do is look up five recipes on the market and see what ingredients they require, and look for those items one by one to see if you can profit from them.

PVE/PVP Gear

If you know which PVE or PVP gear is highly sought after, you can also make huge profits by flipping those items. However, because of constant changes in metadata, the price of a simple gear will fluctuate greatly. This means that there are both rewards and risks for you to flip these materials.

You can also choose to check Trade Post frequently to see if there are decent equipment for sale. Since they are always popular and sometimes people are willing to sell them for very cheap, you can make a lot of money from them.

All in all, this guide covers almost everything there is to know about flip trading on Trade Post. Hope this helps some of you, good luck!

The upcoming release of Season 5 in New World heralds the arrival of several lucrative opportunities for making New World Coins. 

This guide will explore various methods to capitalize on these opportunities during the initial days of New World Season 5. Let’s delve into the details without delay.

1. Matrices

The first point may seem obvious, but it’s essential to emphasize, particularly with the arrival of Season 5. 

New artifacts are being introduced to the game, some of which are exceptionally powerful. This will undoubtedly drive demand as players rush to acquire and upgrade these artifacts quickly. Consequently, prices for armor, jewelry, and weapon matrices are expected to soar during the initial days of Season 5. 

To capitalize on this opportunity, consider placing buy orders at the lowest possible cost or engaging in bulk crafting using gypsum casts. This will allow you to flip these items for a quick profit on day 1.

2. Ingredients

Furthermore, Season 5 introduces new recipes for high-quality attribute foods. 

It may be advantageous to take quick screenshots of these recipes as the prices for their ingredients are likely to surge in the initial days of Season 5. 

Therefore, consider purchasing ingredients at lower prices now to capitalize on selling them at higher prices later.

3. Refining Components

Moving on, let’s discuss refining components. 

Typically, New World experiences a surge in activity during the initial days of a new season launch. This influx of players leads to increased crafting and utilization of various components, resulting in higher demand and subsequently higher prices. This trend persists not only during Season 5, but also in subsequent seasons.

To prepare for this, consider placing buy orders or purchasing inexpensive components in bulk. By doing so, you can capitalize on selling them for higher prices during the first two days of the next season’s launch. I’ve already stocked up on a significant quantity of these components when buy orders were at 0.1, ensuring easy profits as I anticipate higher selling prices during the early days of Season 5.

4. Resource Nodes

Another notable addition is the introduction of numerous new resource nodes in Season 5 of New World. This influx of resources, particularly ore, is expected to drive down the overall cost of various resource types.

You have 2 viable options: 

• Firstly, consider selling off all your reserves of Orichalcum and Mythril preemptively. 
• Alternatively, upon the launch of Season 5, seize the opportunity to engage in intensive mining activities in Myrkgard. By swiftly gathering resources and selling them before prices decline, you can maximize your profits.

5. Market Flipping

Finally, it’s crucial to anticipate the upcoming additions to the game, particularly the introduction of new weapons and armor pieces. For instance, let’s focus on the new artifact designed to enhance slash damage.

Given this development, crafting modifications geared towards boosting slash damage are likely to be in high demand during the initial days of Season 5, leading to an increase in their overall price.

If you’re willing to take a calculated risk, consider accessing the trading post and placing some buy orders to capitalize on this potential surge in prices. While it’s improbable that 50 people will purchase these items on day one of Season 5, there’s a significant likelihood that their prices will substantially rise. 

This strategy can be applied to various other items as well. The key is to assess upcoming content and adjust your approach based on anticipated demand.

With the upcoming New World Season 5 swiftly approaching, we're just a few days away from diving into the game. Anticipation is building within the PvP community as players eagerly await the introduction of exciting new artifacts that promise to shake up the meta. Today, I'll be sharing with you a build featuring the Fire Staff Blunderbuss.

I specialize in playing Fire Staff Blunderbuss in this build, which I complement with an anti-heal effect. My objective with this setup is to maximize the anti-heal effects on clumps around the point and contribute significant AOE damage with the Fire Staff Blunderbuss combo. Don't forget to bring some New World Coins for the new Season 5.

Gems

When it comes to weapons, let's delve into the core war builds I utilize. For the AOE stat pad anti-heal build, selecting the right weapons is crucial. As for the artifact's last option, opting for a gem socket is viable. In this setup, I recommend using a Runeglass Ruby gem for the Fire Staff. You can obtain the Fire Staff from either the named drop in the OPR crates Commandant's Fire Staff, or by crafting it yourself.

As for Gem slots, I prefer to revert to the basics, utilizing a Runeglass Emerald. The choice of Runeglass type is subjective, but remember that stacking 2 identical Runeglass Gem Types on the weapons is not possible.

However, because of the changes in Season 5 and the shakeup meta with some of the new artifacts, I believe that there will be even more Elemental type of damage and most of the people may drop their Fire Protection. We also might see Gemstone Dust coming back in play because of the many elements which will be present on the battlefield.

Armor

The armor pieces will be the biggest change for this season. As you know, there is a new amazing artifact called Nature's Wrath. This is a medium chest piece which provides a 20% base damage increase but consumes all the conditional Empower on yourself.

With that info in mind, our goal should be to set up as much as possible passive Empower so we can gain the most out of this chest.

Perks

Since the artifact is a medium chest piece, it means that all other armor pieces have to be in light. So, let’s take a quick look over the respective perks:

• Hat Piece: Enchanted Ward, Fireball, Fire Harnessing
• Gloves: Pillar of Fire, Enchanted Ward, Fire Harnessing
• Pants: Skipping Sharing Energy, Enchanted Ward, Plagued Splitting Grenades, Fire Harnessing
• Boots: Refreshing, Enchanted Ward, Fire Harnessing

For optimal perk distribution across your armor pieces, aim for a balance of defensive and offensive enhancements. Prioritize Enchanted Ward and Fire Harnessing to bolster your defensive capabilities, while complementing them with utility perks such as Fireball and Plagued Splitting Grenades. Ensure a total of 4 Refreshing perks across your Mage gear to maximize your effectiveness in combat.

Divine and Empowered are other perks that can be combined, but they may not be valuable for this build. Empowered is redundant due to the inability to have conditional Empowered, and Divine is not useful for a Mage who isn't on the frontline. Refreshing Recovery may not be the best choice either, as it won't help if enemies have already depleted your HP to below 50%.

Skill Tree

Fire Staff: The preferred combination remains Pillar Meteor and Fireball with passives aimed at reducing cooldowns and managing Mana efficiently. Focus on acquiring passives that enhance cooldown reduction and Mana management.

Blunderbuss: Continue using the double down build, incorporating Net Shot, Shrapnel Blast, and Splitting Grenade. Prioritize passives from the right side of the tree to unlock the ultimate passive, Double Down.

Rune Choice: Opt for the Biobomb rune to achieve mass anti-heal. Choose the Cunning upgrade path for Biobomb, as the other options reduce the effectiveness of the plague.

Brutal Form: Brutal form no longer creates a cloud, resulting in single-target anti-heal. The Steward version applies only 15% disease, down from 30%. Ensure these adjustments are accounted for in your build strategy.

Most of our New World players complete the faction quest and receive all three rewards every day. When you use them regularly, you’ll collect tons of extra Faction Tokens at the beginning of your endgame journey.

This won’t be too much of a problem since you’ll be using them on your daily Gypsum, Azoth Inductor, Ultimate Trophy Skins, and Chromatic Seals. But eventually you’ll have everything you need, and Faction Tokens will stack up.

So, in this guide, I’m going to cover all the ways you can turn those extra Faction Tokens into gold, rather than letting them hit Faction Tokens limit and become pointless. Without further ado, let’s get started!

1. Masterwork Material Converter

For the first method, we are going to review the old classic method, which is also probably the most famous method of all, and that is Masterwork Material Converter method.

These items sell for 100 Faction Tokens each, so they can be a quick and easy way to earn extra New World Coins.

If you want to do it quickly, you can buy and sell them directly on a Trade Post without any extra work.

Currently, 100 converters sell for 80 gold coins on my server Maramma, which means you can easily get 80 gold coins for every 10,000 Faction Tokens.

Alternatively, you can use them to turn cheaper Reagents into more profitable Reagents, then sell them to make more gold. Because Reagents sell faster compared to me selling Converter at a Trade Post.

Now, to test the profits, I purchased 10,000 tokens worth of these converters. If I sell them immediately via a sell order, I will receive 100 gold coins, and after deducting the transaction fee per 10,000 tokens, I will be left with 78.51 gold.

If I were to convert Reagents, I could make more profit on it.

You need to find the cheapest Reagent available on your server. You should also have a bunch of these items in storage as you get them from your daily activities, but I’ll include the cost as if you were buying them directly from Trade Post to keep the numbers consistent when testing the numbers.

On my server, the cheapest Reagent is Wireweave and Obsidian Sandpaper, and the most expensive is Obsidian Flux. So my plan is to buy a low, convert it all into Flux, and then sell it for a profit.

Finally, by selling all Obsidian Flux on Trade Post, I would end up with 288.32 gold after deducting transaction fees. If you deduct Wireweave’s cost and crafting tax, this means this process will leave you with 193 gold for the 10,000 Faction Tokens you spent.

But maybe the prices are different in your server, so check which one is the most profitable for you.

Overall, if you do the math, it’s not hard to see that this is a profitable process. If you buy converters and sell them immediately, you will earn one gold for every 125 tokens spent. Alternatively, if you perform a few extra steps, you can earn 1 gold coin for every 52 tokens.

2. Sell Your Faction Vendor Items

Let’s look at another method, which is selling items you can get from Faction Vendor, including Gem Setting Pins, Banner Fragment and Shard of Pride. These items are not purchased via pickup and therefore can be sold on Trade Post.

Currently, the only profitable of these items is Gem Setting Pins. We buy them from the vendor for 100 gold coins and 300 Faction Tokens and then sell them on Trade Post for 290 gold coins each.

After deducting the fees on Trade Post, you will get a profit of 185.5 gold coins for every 300 Faction Tokens. This means that every 1.6 tokens spent is equivalent to 1 gold coin, which is great.

3. Runes

We also have runes in Maramma currently, and almost every tier of runes has a glorious return on investment, so I calculated the return on all 5 tiers of runes.

• Minor Rune of Holding: You will earn 68 gold coins in profit for every 1,000 tokens spent, which is a return of 1 gold coin for every 15 tokens spent.
• Greater Rune of Holding: Every 5,000 tokens spent will net you 403 gold coins, which is a return of 1 gold coin for every 12.4 tokens.
• Grand Rune of Holding: Don’t have enough resources to do an exact calculation, but the profits look similar to the first two.
• Exquisite Rune of Holding: Earn 2352 gold coins for every 30,000 Faction Tokens, or 1 gold coin for every 12.7 Tokens.

Although there are various tiers and different costs, it’s safe to say that you can definitely make a decent profit by flipping the runes you hold. And expect to earn 1 gold coin for every 12 to 15 tokens spent this way, which is the high-end method of token flipping.

If you’re going to take this approach, your best option is probably to do a few of each tier, rather than lumping all tokens into a specific tier. This is just for variety and allows you to sell your items faster when the faction dies.

4. Flip Dye

Then you can also try buying and flipping Dye. It’s important to note that you can only purchase Dye for your faction from vendors. If you’re a Syndicate, you can get Burnished Lilac Dye. If you’re a Marauder, you might get Tarnished Jade Dye. If you are a Covenant, you can get Twine Dye.

Currently, on my server, they each cost 100 gold and 300 Faction Tokens. Among them, Twine Dye is sold for 65 gold coins each, and Burnished Lilac Dye is sold for 50 gold coins each. Therefore, none of these can be profited from. But there is no Tarnished Jade Dye on the market, so you may have a chance to make some profit.

But again, like every item, you need to check the server prices before trying this method. If they are selling for more than 100 gold, then you can make a profit from it.

5. Azoth Inductor

The vendor also offers some products that you can use indirectly to earn money from Azoth Inductor. If you are a high-end crafter, you can make a pretty decent profit every week with Azoth Inductor.

So if you are maxed out in many crafting professions and have all the trophies and gear and don’t need to get yourself craft BIS gear. You can use Azoth Inductor every week at the end of the cooldown to craft the best slot items and sell them for huge profits.

But doing this requires a significant initial investment, and there are Gypsum Orbs. You can get up to 5 of 7,000 tokens each day. But for many of us, we have enough Gypsum Orbs.

This way, every 93 tokens spent will only bring you 1 gold coin. If you got a few Gypsum Orbs otherwise, just buy a few from the vendor to make sure you have 20 by the end of the week, it really is worth it.

6. Mastery Cache & Package of Materials

The last way to earn coins from Faction Tokens is through Mastery Cache and Package of Materials. This is a very hit-and-miss approach because of the fluctuating prices of crafting materials and the high price of some of these caches. But if you are a gambler, this might be an interesting approach for you.

Please note that I would advise you to stay away from special Packages of Materials immediately. Because nothing you get in these boxes will get you back your initial investment of 5,000 gold coins, plus 50,000 tokens is also very expensive.

But if you’re lucky, Mastery Cache can make you some money. These can be purchased once per day and provide you with items that increase your XP. Hover over the box and it will tell you where to use the item to convert it to XP. You can simply use them to upgrade skills you’re not interested in, or use them for skills you’ve already reached Mastery level.

Mastery level reward cache can be where you profit from this approach. The rewards you can get from these Aptitude Crates will be schematics for crafting your gear.

So if I wanted to make money from it, I would look up all the highest level crafting gear on my server and see which skill line would be the best fit. If I knew what mining was selling the most and was most popular in my server, I would focus on those caches and buy each tier of mining every day, then open them and convert everything to XP.

I wouldn’t say this method is 100% guaranteed to be profitable, but for gamblers, it could be a good way to make money with Faction Tokens.

Outro

Anyway, this covers all the current methods in New World for converting extra Faction Tokens into some spare gold. This is just a good guideline. You can find a method you like and stick to it. Alternatively, the best course of action may be to diversify so as not to over-saturate the market and speed up the time to sell. Good luck!

Introducing this comprehensive guide for the new seasonal trial - Winter Rune Forge. This trial marks a significant improvement from previous trials in the coming New World Season 5. Notably, it features 2 distinct fights with different environments, adding an extra layer of adventure. Moreover, the rewards are quite substantial, making the trial highly rewarding.

To increase your chances of winning boss fights in Season of the Guardian, ensure you have an sufficient amount of New World Coins beforehand.

The Ice Dogs

Upon entering the room, you'll encounter a large doglike creature. Your task is to engage in combat and chip away at its health until it reaches halfway. At this point, the creature splits in 2, triggering a recurring mechanism. It's crucial to split your focus and concentrate your damage on one of the split creatures. Avoid bringing them close together, as they regenerate health when in proximity to each other. This regeneration makes the fight significantly more challenging and time-consuming. Therefore, it's imperative to keep them separated to ensure a smoother progression through the encounter.

Once you take down this boss, you’ll see that all of those dogs are going to freeze and blow up. The ground will also blow up. This will allow you to move on to the next phase of the trial in Season of the Guardian, where you’re going to land on a bridge, you’ll likely have to just jump down a bit further.

Ancient Ice Guardian

Then you’ll kind of move on to the next phase of the trial in Season of the Guardian, which is also the last phase, and that is regarding an Ancient Ice Guardian where once again, there’s some new unique mechanics that you and your team are going to have to do in order to get through this part of the trial. Once you start battling this Ancient Ice Guardian, you’re going to start to see a lot of new battle mechanics, it’s not too complicated and you can definitely get through it.

For starters, you’re going to start seeing some orange rings throughout the fight, and those are good, those are essentially buffs. This will help boost up your overall defense against ice attacks and also boost up your overall damage. At some point in the battle, the Ancient Ice Guardian is going to start spinning where you’ll then have an opportunity to pick up these ice chunks and start throwing them at these different runes on the wall.

The priority is to essentially get these to match in the Winter Rune Forge. They’re going to turn orange just like that once they actually match, and that will allow you to pick up that orange buff to help both you and your team grind through it even faster.

As you get closer and closer to grinding out this boss, attacks are going to get a bit more and more powerful, you’re going to see more ice waves, you’re going to see ice falling from the sky, but that essentially covers the overall boss battle itself. You’re going to pick up the runes to get those buffs because the buffs help not only you but your entire team, it just helps you get through this so much faster.

Once you and your team take down the Ancient Ice Guardian, you will be awarded a Winter Rune Forge Spoil, which you can get up to 2 times a week. It is 100% doing this twice a week to get these spoils not only because it’s an easy way to get some Dark Matter but also it’s your chance of getting the Tempest Fury great artifact which is essentially that spin great axe that helps you buff up that Fortifying Whirlwind ability.

Final Thought

There’s definitely some fun builds that you can utilize with new artifact in Season 5. Other than that there is a full Frostweaver set which is fantastic. Nothing too crazy but you can turn to the Mending Vortex, every 2 hits with Vortex will heal you, lots of unique items that have some good weapon perks as well that you can pick up and utilize for some of these new weapon-specific builds that people are playing with. You’ll also have the ability to get up to 5,000 Faction Tokens, some pretty interesting named items, and then a bunch of stuff that you’ll likely just end up salvaging.

In today’s guide, we’ll test whether Cache of Prospected Gems is actually an efficient way to make gold, or if they’re just a waste of time.

Now let’s start testing. I’m going to open 10 of these Epic-Tier versions. Then, after selling everything I got from each gem, we’ll see how many of those 10 gems end up being profitable. And how much more profit each would make after selling all the gems at once, after deducting the cost of all the gems?

I won’t try to upgrade any of these gems to be consistent during this process.

I will also provide the current price of each gem currently on my Maramma server. So you can compare with your own server. Because like every other money-making tool, their profits largely depend on your server price.

Then, once we find out if Epic-Tier is profitable, we browse Rare and Uncommon Tiers just in case they are hidden money-making machines.

Epic-Tier

First, let’s see how much New World Coins it will cost to buy these Epic-Tier Cache if you buy 200 Platinum or choose one of them as per your requirement.

Currently, each Platinum costs 0.32 gold coins on my server, costing 65.68, maybe it will be cheaper for you. I also need 20 Pure Solvents per box, which costs another 8.7 gold per box. Pure Solvent sells for 0.02 gold per box on my server. So if I multiply all of this by 10, the entire experiment will cost me 712.39 gold, including the 46.89 crafting tax.

It’s worth noting that I made them in my crafting area to minimize taxes. Also, you need to Smelting at least 200 times to make one of these. But this is actually very easy to achieve.

Let’s see if we can recoup our initial investment after 10 pulls, or even make a profit from it, since each pull must bring in more than 71.23 gold to be considered profitable. Now let’s see how it turns out:

• Number 1: Sold 73.81 gold and made a profit of 2 gold.
• Number 2: Sold 9.33 gold, loss is 62 gold.
• Number 3: Sold 129.74 gold, bringing a profit of nearly 60 gold coins.
• Number 4: Sold 89.2 gold, 18 of which was pure profit.
• Number 5: Sold 3.21 gold coins, resulting in a loss of 68 gold coins.
• Number 6: Sold 209.39 gold coins, increasing net profit worth 138 gold coins.
• Number 7: Sold 17.9 gold coins, resulting in a loss of 54 gold coins.
• Number 8: Sold 9.82 gold and lost 61 gold.
• Number 9: Sold 191.33 gold coins, increasing profit by 120 gold coins.
• Number 10: Sold 113.86 gold coins, bringing an additional profit of 43 gold coins.

Now that all Epic-Tier testing is over, let’s take a look at the results before trying to pull Lower-Tier methods 10 times.

As you can see, 6 out of 10 pulls I did were profitable, which means the profit percentage was 60%. But the big question now is whether this experiment will be profitable after spending 712.39 gold coins on this test.

I managed to sell all the gems and got 846.88 gold from them. I made a profit of 134.49 gold in this process alone, not to mention you will gain Smelting XP from it if you do this process regularly. Plus, these caches will net you tons of Aptitude Crates, which will only increase profits.

Although 134 gold is not a very high yield at the moment, if you do it in large quantities, you can make a decent amount of money this way. Especially if Platinum prices are probably lower on your server and gems sell for higher prices than on my server.

You can use this price chart to compare prices between servers. But if you are also on a Maramma server, this method is definitely profitable.

If you want to take it a step further, you can even re-refine these gems to the highest level, or break them down into Powerful Gemstone Dust based on price to squeeze every last bit of profit out of your investment.

Lower Level

Now we know that Epic-Tier of these Cache of Prospected Gems is profitable. Let’s quickly test their Rare and Uncommon Tiers to see if they might be more profitable.

To pull Rare-Tier, we need 200 Gold Ore and 20 Pure Solvent per crate, which is 0.07 per Gold Ore on our server. So for 10 pulls, including Solvent tax and crafting tax of 34.75 gold, I spent 181.19 gold.

After transaction fees, I’m left with 169.05 gold. This means Rare-Tier is unprofitable, as I lost 12.14 gold coins in the process.

Uncommon Cache costs 200 Silver Ore per pull, as well as 20 Pure Solvent and crafting fees. Each Silver Ore costs 0.06 gold on my server.

After selling everything, the total cost for 10 pulls will be 143.58 gold. I got 43.6 gold from selling the items I got from those 10 pulls. This means that Uncommon-Tier is also unprofitable, as I lost 99.98 gold in the 10 times I tried this method.

Outro

In short, skip Rare and Uncommon Tiers, we need to put in a lot of effort to profit from them. However, if you buy when Platinum prices are lower, and are as efficient as possible, Epic-Tier is a great way to make money that is very viable.

But before starting any money-making methods, again use the provided chart to compare prices. If you make money through this method, don’t forget to share it. Good luck!

I’ll be providing an informative guide on obtaining the best in slot gear for Melee DEX in New World Season 4. The gear pieces can only be farmed through dungeons because they're going to have illegal perk combos that you cannot attain anywhere else. Make sure that you have plenty of New World Coins, which can greatly aid you during your Expedition dungeon adventures. 

They're going to only drop from M1 all the way up to M3. So depending on the dungeon, you might not be able to farm them because maybe it's not the rotation for those mutations. So without further delay, let’s delve into this guide.

Glacial Tarn Expedition

The first set we’re going to talk about is going to drop from the new Glacial Tarn Expedition. It has the Frigid heavy set. This Frigid heavy set has Enchanted Wood and Elemental Aversion, and it can roll a third perk. With this third perk, you can roll it at the Gypsum Kiln with the cost of chromatics and dark matter. However, it has Magnify, so it’s a bit problematic for different types of builds because maybe you have too much Magnify and you can’t go for the attributes you want.

You can reroll the third perk. Even if it rolls something absolutely atrocious. So, you can make an amazing set with the Frigid piece. This can only drop from the final boss, so you have to complete the whole dungeon itself, but nonetheless, it is an easy dungeon, and you can do this at M1.

Savage Divide Expedition

Next up, we have the Savage Divide dungeon, and it’s going to be dropping you some Primal pieces. You cannot roll the third perk, so it’s going to be RNG, and this is why doing a high mutation will be better because if you end up dropping it at 650, you’re not going to get that third perk right because it’s going to be an epic.

The Silverback Smasher, which is one of the lead named gorillas, as well as the first gorilla boss, will drop the heavy pieces, whereas the Silverback Smasher gorillas alongside the Mammoth, which is the final boss, will drop the medium pieces. However, if there is no mutation, you cannot attain these pieces from a normal dungeon. This all comes down from M1 all the way up to M3. It only drops on heavy and medium for pants, as well as gloves. Heavy is locked Strength, medium is locked Dexterity.

If you want to make it easier to farm these pieces, make sure your overall weight loadout is not necessarily the same type as what you’re farming. But the pieces you are farming, make sure you’re equipped with the exact weight.

One last thing to mention as well is the random perk that you can roll as the third perk. It's pretty much the same as the crafting loot table. You're going to have Refreshing, Health, Empowering, Armor Breaker for the gloves as the highest roll, I think it's about 16%, and then after that, it's going to be Thrust Conditioning, Strike Conditioning, Slash Conditioning. And then it's going to be like Invigorated, Vigor and so on. So, it's pretty much the same as the crafting RNG.

Depths Expedition

Then, we got the Depths, and they also have some amazing pieces. They’re called the Imbued Waxen, and these can be farmed from multiple enemies in the dungeon. As mentioned before, M1 is all the way up to M3, and that’s going to depend as well on the gear score because if you drop a too low gear score, you’re not going to be getting that third perk. The third perk is going to be RNG the same way as we mentioned with Savage Divide.

However, this set here is only for boots and pants, but it can go from light all the way to heavy. Stats as well are going to be locked depending on your 2 primary stats. So if you have the majority of Strength and Constitution, most likely it’s going to be dropping as Strength and Constitution. So, be very careful how you’re going to be farming. It’s going to be affecting the drop itself. And just like the Savage Divide, you cannot roll the third perk.

Glacial Tarn is the only set from these that you can roll it at the Gypsum Kiln, but the good thing is you don’t have any Magnify for both the Depths and the Savage Divide. These are better if you want Shirking Fortification and Elemental Aversion, and these 3 sets are the best sets you can get with the legal perk roll, such as Enchanted Wood, Elemental Aversion or Shirking Fortification. Everything else is kind of mediocre, or you could just potentially craft it.
