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.

Hi, players! Welcome to a new gold farming guide for WoW Calssic Season of Discovery! Today, I’ll explain why the Essence of Air holds significant value in the Phase 3 and how the Hunters can effortlessly farm it. So, without wasting time, let's get started!

However, as a Beast Mastery Hunter, kiting is minimal, and respawn times are reasonable, ensuring there's always something to kill. The Essence of Air holds significant value because of its rarity and necessity for various enchants, making this farming method highly lucrative for the Hunters in Phase 3.

About Essence Of Air

The Essence of Air, with a drop rate of approximately 4%, is obtained from Dust Stormers located in the northwest corner of Silithus. They typically range between Level 55 and 57, presenting a formidable challenge for many classes. However, this farming method is viable for both Beast Mastery and Marksman specializations, and is particularly beneficial for Beast Mastery Hunters.

With currently priced between 65 to 90 gold, this elemental drop is easily accessible to Hunters. So, this item will always have a lot of value and deserve to WoW SOD Gold farming. You can easily get 2 to 3 of these in an hour, and if you're lucky, you can even get more.

I will to explain why the Essence of Air has so much value right now in the third phase of WoW Classic Season of Discovery. Not only are they hard to obtain, with a 4% drop rate and dropped by mobs that many players struggle to kill with their class, but they're also used in a ton of different enchants, many of which are essential for the Hunters.

Beast Mastery Hunter Build

If you choose to do the Essence of Air farming as the Beast Mastery Hunter, here's what I suggest for talents: focus on defensive talents early on and utilize runes like Lock and Load, Heart of the Lion, Focus Fire, Beast Mastery, Expose Weakness, Sniper Training, and Trap Launcher. The Beast Mastery rune is essential for maintaining your pet's aggro and enhancing its defensive capabilities.

Then, for your pet of this build, I recommend using the Core Hound, as its ability, Lava Breath is particularly effective against these wind elementals. Although your loyalty level of Core Hound may be low, you can focus its points on greater stamina, natural armor, and nature resistance. Beyond that, prioritize defensive abilities like Growl and Lava Breath.

Beast Mastery Hunter Rotation

As we use the Beast Mastery rune on our gloves for the Hunter build, we won't have access to Explosive Shot or the Chimera shot, which alters our rotation slightly. The next best shot to use alongside Lock and Load is Multi-Shot. It's advisable to start with a Frost or Explosive Trap, followed by a Multi-Shot, and then repeating this sequence with the other trap.

Afterward, use Arcane Shot to deal with additional damage. With the elementals ranging from Level 55 to 57, you may face higher difficulty with Level 57 enemies, requiring more pet management. However, with Aspect of the Viper providing unlimited mana, it's manageable.

Be mindful of your Frenzy stacks, as it's possible to reach 5 stacks with the Beast Mastery rune and build. In many situations, I highly recommend letting the pet retain Frenzy stacks to focus on tanking and dealing damage. Occasionally, you may need to kite, drop additional traps, and adjust your strategy depending on resistances.
