Leveling tips and tricks new players should know

Most players who dive into New World Aeternum will do so primarily with leveling in mind. You’ll quickly discover that combat in the MMORPG is far more action-oriented than your standard tab-target MMO, like World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy XIV. And as such, it’s more fluid and cutthroat, even in PvE.

Here are a few tips to help you succeed in leveling your character:

Make an effort to boost your territory standing, as some rewards allow you to increase the amount of EXP you earn from monster kills and quests, thereby enabling you to level much faster

In many MMORPGs, the side quests feel like filler content that takes you far away from the main story questline. But in New World, they’re frequently grouped together, allowing you to complete numerous main and side quests within the same POI. It pays to speak to every quest-giver in town before you venture out into the wild!

From how players talk, you would think PvP is the primary focal point in New World, but there is extensive PvE content to explore. You can tackle Expeditions, Elite Zones, or just questing

While not necessary, especially as a solo player, joining a faction is an excellent way to interact with the New World Aeternum community, become part of something larger, and earn fantastic rewards. You don’t have to give your faction much thought, though. Pick the one that clicks with you based on its color or theme

If you have the extra gold, buy a few high-level gear pieces from the marketplace to help you tackle more challenging content. You don’t need to spend too much; just find an upgrade to what you currently have equipped

New World Aeternum is a fresh start for Amazon Games and the MMORPG community that stood by the game and saw its potential. Countless streamlined improvements, new player enhancements, and quality-of-life tweaks should entice even the grumpiest fans of the genre on day one. Of course, this could leave us all wanting more, which would mean waiting with even more anticipation for Amazon’s Lord of the Rings MMORPG
