The ULTIMATE NEW WORLD BEGINNER'S GUIDE: Everything you NEED to know about LAUNCH AND BETA

greetings travelers my name is pine and i will be your tour guide through eternum welcome to my complete overlook of new world everything that you need to know to get started on your adventures through eternum first things first what is new world new world is an mmorpg created by amazon game studios the title is set to release on september 28th of 2021 but if you're watching this video now you're probably about to check out the open beta from september 9th through the 12th new world is pc only it is a one-time purchase of 40 and there will be no subscription fee now let's begin our adventure starts with us getting shipwrecked and marooning on a nearby island there was no time to waste this island was full of corruption and secrets beyond the mortal reach welcome to eternal the home of all of your travels we must now defend these lands from those who seek to destroy it of course with every adventure it always starts with you the character creation screen is pretty diverse giving you many options to customize your character it is worth mentioning that once you create your character it is permanent you will not be able to change the look of your character model the only way you will be able to change your appearance is through armor or through cosmetics of course you'll have to choose a fitting name for your adventure from what i understand the names are region based and not server based which means that there will only be one pine in north america this system may change later but you definitely want to secure your name as fast as possible for those about to ask you can use some punctuation spaces numbers and special characters now remember this is an mmo which means playing with others is a vital part of the experience we briefly mentioned regions and servers earlier when dealing with your name but let's elaborate the regions are broken down into these categories central europe and a east n a west south america australia i was not able to find any information on southeast asia but hopefully this will change soon then each region will have their own server list these servers are where your characters are located for example if you're on yama you can only interact with other characters on yama it's important to choose a region that you're located in for a better connection to the server and then to choose the same server for both you and your friends if you're looking for some company on your adventures in new world i'll include our discord link in the description below you'll start by doing a basic movement and combat tutorial teaching you to defend yourselves from the foes of aeternum continue moving forward and work your way until you have to fight against the corrupted captain the corruption is just one of many evils on this island it's important not to let your guard down once he is defeated he will send you on your way and your adventures in new world have officially begun now this is where things get tricky there are four starting zones that your character can get sent to windsword monarchs bluffs everfall and first light there is no guaranteed way to choose where your character starts now this could be an issue because you can start in one territory and your friend can start in another territory my recommendation is that you do not worry about meeting up with your friends at the start progress through the storyline all the way up until you choose a faction this will typically be around level 10. this will save you a lot of time in walking as the starter quests are generally the same all the way to choosing a faction now you're probably asking what's a faction what does that mean there are three major factions that stretch across a turnip the marauders the syndicate and the covenant not only is this land ravaged by the war of good versus evil but also between each other bloodshed amongst factions choosing your faction is a pivotal point of your character's development although it is not a permanent decision you may only change your faction once every 120 days so choose wisely we're gonna go over the benefits of joining a faction and what it means to be a part of their team first you will gain access to a command board with a variety of missions for you to accomplish there is three player versus environment missions which are general quests like go to an area kill certain monsters collect certain objects the second category of quests are pvp missions which are generally go to a highly populated area while toggled for pvp on and get ready to fight they are typically high risk high reward we'll elaborate more on the pvp systems later on in the video but for now these missions will award you direct influence with the territory exp towards leveling gold and faction tokens these resources can be put towards buying elite faction gear to greatly improve the quality of your character each and every territory can be taken over by a faction these factions then fight in a 50 vs 50 large-scale war for control of the territory when your faction controls the territory there are many benefit including reduced fast travel costs and cheaper workshops inside of each faction there will be player created companies think guilds these companies will be formed by a governor officered by a team of council and then filled with a variety of ranks of members these companies will be the one controlling individual territories and fighting and drafting for the wars to defend them the company will also be in charge of upgrading the settlements defenses the crafting and refining stations and defending against any upcoming wars and invasions if you're interested in joining our company on new world i'll put a link in the description below for you guys to check out now let's talk territories territories are the zones that make up eternum think of them as individual plots of lands with their own biomes resources and enemies you can increase your standing with the territory this will provide bonuses to your character while they're in that zone these territories make up a turnum they will be the backbone of your stronghold as you begin your quest throughout new world the map will start as a blank canvas but as players begin to level and companies begin to form soon they can stake their claim on a turnip to purchase a territory for your company it requires 100 000 gold so a collective group effort this means that communities with large amount of members can come out the gates swinging and purchase a territory sooner rather than later the controlling governor can also change the taxes of a settlement these taxes will be used to contribute to the overall upgrading of a settlement this will provide benefits to everyone on that faction even if they're not on the company including a reduced fast travel cost but being first with territory isn't always the best other companies and factions can declare war and it's up to you to defend and upgrade your territory each territory has a settlement and a fort a settlement is where the day-to-day life is held where you can do your trading your crafting group up with your friends and find missions to tackle throughout these settlements there are various crafting and refining stations a player-driven economy through the trading post where you can list and buy items for sale settlements also include a storage shed this storage shed is used to hold all of your excess inventory the storage shed is specific to that town leave items in one settlement and go to another you cannot access those items unless your faction controls both settlement a and settlement b there is a small fee and you can transfer your items the fort is where all political battles happen it is where you go to declare war on another company and where the battlefield is held to defend your territory capturing a fort is important for your entire faction you must make sure you have pvp enabled to do so you can press the default keybind u while in a settlement or a sanctuary you must then travel to the fort with your comrades if you have more bodies at the fourth than the controlling faction you will slowly convert it to your control each fort on the map provides its own unique global buff to all members of the controlling faction some of these buffs are increased exp reduce cost on travel time increase resources from gathering and reducing the weight of items in your inventory it is absolutely worth it to control some key forts on the map to provide benefits to everyone under your faction it is much more beneficial to level in a territory that your faction owns there are even more benefits for leveling in a territory that your company owns we've mentioned it before a few times in this video but let's talk pvp or player versus player combat pvp is a core component of new world although you can completely live your experience without it there are multiple ways to pvp in this game starting things off we have open world combat while in a sanctuary or rested area you can toggle or opt into pvp by pressing u then when you leave a safe zone a timer will begin and at the expiration you will be flagged for pvp combat meaning that other players who are also flagged can attack you freely toggling pvp on does provide a 5 exp boost another form of pvp combat is duels not only does new world have the typical 1v1 type duel but there's also a duel in which your group can challenge another group then we have two instance forms of pvp combat outpost rush and wars outpost rush is a 20 vs 20 game mode in which you have to control various points on the map gather resources and be the first to assert in score limit to claim victory war is the backbone of new world and changes the territories and map as we know it this is a 50 versus 50 large-scale war in which players go head-to-head in combat either attacking a fort or defending it if the attacking team captures the three rally points breaks through the fortress and claims the flag in the center they will claim the fort and the territory for the faction it is up to the defending team to hold down their fortress this battle takes up to 30 minutes long if you're interested in seeing a more in-depth guide on war and new world please check out my channel for more content it is worth mentioning that if you are on one faction and your friend is on another faction you can still play and interact with each other you can group up you can trade you can do dungeons as long as pvp is toggled off now that we have a good understanding of the systems in place let's take a look at leveling your leveling experience will start at 1 and will cap out at 60. there are many ways to earn exp from slaying monsters to gathering material to completing quests to completing projects for the town to doing your faction missions fighting back against the corruption on the map or against players from the other factions dwelling into an expedition full of loot and finally chasing after the main ceiling all of these will contribute to your character's progression and will shape your adventures on a tournament many of these activities are done through the action combat system you'll have to actively land strikes dodge incoming attacks manage resource bars and cooldowns this combat does not follow a typical class system instead it allows one character to do every form of combat through weapon mastery these weapons and their masteries will then scale with the appropriate attributes let's start breaking down character progression we've heard of the journey of 1-60 but what happens when you actually level up when you level up a new world your character is given attribute points the attribute category is for new world are strength dexterity intelligence focus and constitution strength will govern your power with melee weapons some melee weapons rely exclusively on strength while others rely also on dexterity dexterity governs the effectiveness of light melee weapons in ranged combat bows muskets rapiers and spears all scale with dexterity intelligence governs your power with magical weapons including any magical perks or weapons might have that means that both the fire staff and the ice gauntlet scale directly within it's worth noting that the rapier also scales with intelligence focus increases your mana regeneration and reduces your cooldown this is also the stat that you want to go for healing and using the life staff weapon constitution governs your overall health pool the higher your constitution the more health and more damage you can sustain while increasing your attribute points there will be small breakthroughs that will award you bonuses depending on which stat you chose these stats are crucial to how your character will play you can redistribute your points for free until level 20 and after level 20 by paying a small gold fee that will increase depending on how many times you change the other way to get stats in new world is through gear let's take a look at the equipment system on the left we have helmet chest gloves legs boots and shield there are two ammunition slots three accessory slots including earring ring and necklace three bag slots to increase your inventory two weapon slots four slots for consumables five slots for your tools and one for your azoth staff each of these pieces of gear is categorized from tier two to tier v a typical rarity rainbow seen in mmorpgs one thing to note is that pieces of equipment will have varying gear scores modifiers perks or even a socket for a gem one more thing that we need to consider while talking about equipment your main pieces of armor will be categorized into light medium or heavy when viewing your character screen you can see your armor weight on the left side noted here you will see an indicator for each weight threshold light medium and heavy let's take a look at each armor specialization while in the light category your character will deal more damage and be more nimble but at the cost of taking more damage while in medium armor your character will do slightly more damage and have a slight increase to their crowd control duration heavy armor offers a whopping 20 damage reduction and a 20 crowd control reduction as well however you forfeit the ability to roll or sidestep and are then stuck with a short hop one tip for you if you're not using your shield unequip it as it only contributes to your character's weight and not their attributes it'll only contribute to attributes while holding it in your hand depending on how you want your playstyle you can mix and match pieces of armor if you wanted to be the tank of your group you would equip yourself with heavy plate armor with a high focus and constitution if you wanted to be a healer a light armor set with a high amount of focus i strongly recommend trying out different play styles and different armor variation there's a lot of creativity that can go into new world builds especially with the interchangeable armor and skills the beauty about new world is that it doesn't always follow the typical armor and attribute stats you usually associate cloth with intelligent or heavy plate with strength but in this game you can change the stats of your faction gear by using a seal sold from the vendor this will give you any desired stat on any type of armor variation there are many ways to play your character in new world but now for the final piece of the playstyle puzzle let's take a look at the weapons of new world new world has an arsenal of weapons the sword and shield hatchet and rapier the spear great action warhammer the bow and the musket the fire staff the life staff and the ice gauntlet each one of these weapons comes with two skill trees while using your weapon in combat you'll be awarded weapon experience and mastery your character can level up individual weapons for each level your weapon achieves one skill point will be given to you to place however you see fit each tree has three core abilities a multitude of passives and one ultimate ability shown here you can respect your weapon for free up until weapon mastery level 10. you do not have to put a point into each choice which gives us a bunch of flexibility and build option you can also go into both trees at the same time just make sure you use enough points to get that ultimate at the end the next thing we need to talk about is weapon effectiveness in combat each weapon will have a varying effectiveness depending on the enemy it goes against while fighting you'll see floating combat text this text has a color which is an indicator of how effective the weapon is white means neutral which means the weapon is fine to use yellow means the item is very effective against the enemy to counter that blue means the weapon is very ineffective against the enemy and finally orange means a critical strike which amplifies the damage i mentioned you could respect for free up until mastery level 10 but what happens after that you'll have to use a new resource called azoth azoth is the life force behind a turnum azoth is a currency you'll find doing everyday activities azov is limited to a cap of a thousand so it must be spent accordingly but don't worry you'll have no problem spending it on top of changing your weapon mastery azoth is also used to fast travel around the map or imbue crafted gear with special enhancements speaking of enhanced gear the last pieces of gear we have to look at are your tools each character can be equipped with five gathering tools skinny knife lumber axe mining pick fishing pole and harvesting sickle these can be crafted as early as the starting zone and will be used for your duration throughout new world one of my earliest recommendations for you would be to upgrade your tools as fast as possible go from flint to steel to star metal and so forth as it greatly increases your gathering speed and the resources you receive with that being said let's get into our introduction of the life skills of new world life skills make up a variety of non-combat skills that you can master there are five gathering skills five refining skills and seven crafting skills one character can do every single one of the trade skills from levels 1 all the way up until a cap of 200. the five gathering skills are mining skinning logging fishing and harvesting leveling up a gathering skill unlocks the ability to gather different higher level resources as well as track them on your compass shown above on your screen miners will gather stone skinners will gather hides in meat loggers will gather wood fishermen will gather food from the nearby salt and fresh water and harvesters will gather cloth fiber and food the five refining skills are smelting stone cutting woodworking tanning and weaving these refining skills allow you to change resources into higher level crafty materials smelters are used to refine ore into ingot stone cutters will refine stone into blocks or cut gemstones woodworkers will refine wood into lumber tanners refined rawhide into leather and weaver's refined fibers in the cloth the higher level you're refining the higher chance to yield bonus material the seven crafting skills are weapon smithing armoring jewel crafting engineering arcana cooking and furnishing weaponsmiths craft melee web armorers craft equipment dual crafters craft trinkets engineers craft range weapons and ammunitions arcanists craft potions tinctures and magical weapons cooks craft meals and non-magical drinks and finally furnishers craft furniture storage and trophies for houses that's right housing but we'll get into that in a second the crafting and gathering system in new world is beautifully complex the fact that one character can do it all really sells me every life skill will be important to your character's progression and your experience through eternum but throughout your travels and your professions you'll find that you'll pick up a lot of items in your inventory your backpack and storage can be seen here this is the amount of weight you can hold before getting encumbered you can see item weights here you do not want to be encumbered as it will leave you defenseless and unable to recharge your stamina make sure you periodically salvage gear and deposit trade goods into storage sheds whenever you stop by a settlement here's a quick heads up press this arrow icon here to deposit all of that type of item into your storage shed now it's time to go out and actually travel when you play new world you're gonna find that you walk a lot the beauty of the world is that it's designed to distract you you'll find a new encampment or a rare resource to gather maybe you'll stumble upon a powerful foe or go to tackle a five-man expedition filled with loot and powerful bosses there are a few ways to travel quickly around the map the first being an inn every settlement will have an inn that your character can check into you may recall to this inn from anywhere in the world however it will put it on a timed cooldown this is very useful because it is free fast travel what do i mean by free the other way to fast travel in this game is through spirit shrines every territory will have spirit shrines located throughout the zone in the settlement and at key locations if you are at a settlement or a spirit shrine you can fast travel to another spirit shrine as long as you have been to that location before however this version of fast travel costs azoth which we talked about before there are two things to consider when fast traveling with azoth the price of azoth will increase based on how much you're holding in your inventory as well as how far of a distance it is you can see your inventory indicator here shown by this backpack icon when this ring is filled up you'll become encumbered and unable to move make sure you plan ahead when fast traveling and reduce the amount of items in your inventory this will save you a ton of as off you can fast travel at a greatly reduced price if you travel to a territory that your faction currently owns there's even an additional discount if your company owns that zone another form of fast travel comes from player housing players have the ability to purchase houses in settlements there is a first-time buyer's bonus incentive which gives you a 50 reduction on the total cost of your first house knowing this i recommend saving that bonus for a higher tier more expensive house this house will give you an additional recall cooldown alongside your inn the house can also be furnished to increase your storage or you can place trophies to provide various player buffs it would be smart to have your inn in one town and a house in another players can also view your houses and vote on their popularity if the house becomes popular enough it'll be featured in the settlement and now finally with all that traveling done you've probably noticed the corruption filling the lands end game player versus environment combat comes in three forms expeditions whether open world or instant these areas are filled with elite creatures that tend to be stronger faster and drop better loot some of these dungeons are in the open world which means you and your friends can group up and go there on your own some are held behind an expedition portal in which you'll need to craft a key to access these keys are crafted through stone cutters or given to you from various quest rewards on the surface you'll also see the corruption breaking through scattered around your map you'll find corrupted invasions these need to be cleared out with a party of other players as they tend to be filled with elite mobs clearing the corruption with your staff will reward you with exp gear and valuable as off another form of end game content comes from invasions when the corruption band together to attack a settlement the invasion happens in waves in which the players must defend the settlement with their lives i'll have a more advanced video showing off invasions and all their systems later on this week but for now just imagine surviving against a horde and everything is going wrong finally the last two forms of pve combat comes in arenas and world bosses arenas are instance combat in which you spawn in one powerful enemy the enemy must be defeated within the time limit to receive your reward arenas may only be entered in with a crafted key thus making them special world bosses can be found around the map powerful foes that require a raid group you're gonna need a lot of bodies but the loot is absolutely worth it don't bite off more than you can chew though because that will lead you to our final chapter what happens when you die in new world the first thing that happens is that your character will be knocked down there will be a small window for you to be revived by another player however time is of the essence if you're unable to be resuscitated a respawn menu will flash above your screen showing you a few options you're in your house or a nearby campfire on top of death and time wasted your gear including all of your armor and tools will take damage to their durability if any of your equipment reaches zero durability it'll break and then must be repaired you can repair gear using salvage parts to get salvaged parts simply break down old gear or weapons by hovering over the item and pressing s and left mouse button this will award you with a few salvage parts in gold then take those salvage parts to repair your broken gear now of course comes the question how do i avoid death rule number one is simple don't die there are a few effective ways to heal a new world healing through abilities using the life staff or using weapons that cause a portion of your damage to be returned as healing you may also consume food for a long heel over time buff or drink a potion to restore a large portion of health a few things i need to sneak in here at the end with armor customization you have two options you can dye your armor various colors you can also purchase skins or cosmetics through the in-game shop these skins can be applied and unapplied at any time i can't believe i left this for so long but new world is equipped with proximity voice chat which means you can hear and interact with other players [Music] thankfully you can opt out you'll also have the option to mute players in-game or report them for those who are abusing the system i personally love the addition of voice chat and can't wait for all the interactions if that's not enough content for you to do at the end of the day everything is tracked your day-to-day activities and new worlds all contribute to your statistics and your achievements which can then be used to claim rewards in various titles this is perfect for the completionist type of player someone who wants to get all forms of content done and that about wraps it up for me now i know that this video was a lot to take in and it required a lot of effort to put together if you enjoyed the quality of this guide it would mean a lot to me if you left a like or a comment down below on something you learned or your excitement for new world i know our channel looks bare bones now
