Should You Start Fresh or Stick with Your Main?

Season 10 doesn't offer a fresh start server, so the big question is: new character or old faithful? Starting fresh means grinding levels again, but it's a chance to try a new playstyle. Sticking with your main, however, lets you dive into endgame content faster, leveraging existing progress. If you're torn, consider your goals. Want to experiment with a new weapon combo? Go new. Prefer to dominate leaderboards ASAP? Stick with your veteran.

For those leveling a new character, the main story questline is your golden ticket. It's the fastest way to max level, showering you with rewards like gear and resources. Don't sweat the scattered loot—trees, rocks, or shiny tulips—while questing. You can gather later or pick up items on the go if you're feeling efficient. The choice is yours, but keep your eyes on the prize: hitting max level without burning out.

Mastering Weapons: Find Your Perfect Combo

Weapons are the heart of New World Aeternum, and with 15 options split into four categories, there's something for everyone:

• One-Handed: Ideal for precise, fast combos. Think rapier, which scales with dexterity and intelligence for quick, deadly strikes.

• Two-Handed: For those who love raw power. Great sword or hatchet (scaling with strength and dexterity) delivers devastating blows.

• Ranged: Perfect for FPS-style players who prefer sniping from afar.

• Magical: For spell-slingers channeling their inner wizard.

To pick your weapon soulmate, hover over each one in-game to check its attribute scaling. For example, pairing a rapier with another dexterity-based weapon creates a synergistic combo that shreds through mobs and players alike. A personal favorite? Great sword and hatchet—a strength-dexterity duo that's love at first swing. Experiment in PvE to find what clicks, then refine your build for PvP dominance.

For leveling weapon mastery, head to high-density enemy spawns like the “Two Donuts" in Restless Shores. Pull enemies into a tight circle with a hatchet or ranged weapon, then melt them with AoE attacks. Other spots include Great Cleave's repeatable quests or Brightwood Isles for elite mobs. For a brain-off approach, join faction races (type “X" in faction chat) and wield your desired weapon to rack up experience effortlessly.

Trade Skills: Your Path to Riches

Trade skills are your ticket to serious gold in New World Aeternum. Focus on these for maximum profit:

• Refining: Max out refining skills for daily crafts. Buy raw materials via market buy orders to save time and gold compared to farming.

• Crafting: Prioritize Arcana for explosive profits or Cooking for consistent gold. Both are high-demand markets. Always aim for max-tier crafts and chase first-time crafting bonuses (marked by a question mark) for cost-efficient leveling.

• Gathering: Equip tools with perks like mining efficiency, yield, or luck to boost output. Bags with extra weight capacity are a must for carrying more resources. Focus on high-value nodes like ore or motes, which sell well on the market.

Efficiency is key. Plan gathering routes to minimize downtime, and always equip tools with perks like Azoth extraction for extra rewards. For example, a mining tool with yield and luck perks can double your ore output, turning a quick run into a goldmine.

Gold-Making Strategies for Season 10

Gold is the lifeblood of Aeternum, and Season 10 offers plenty of ways to stack it:

• Market Flipping: Master the trade post by placing buy orders for materials like iron, steel, or orichalcum, then resell at a profit. This is a low-effort, high-reward method.

• Daily Quests and Dungeons: Daily quests yield 1,000–2,000 gold per run, and dungeons offer valuable loot to sell. Run these twice daily for steady income.

• Raids and Events: Farm raids like Hiveorgan for essential loot drops. Join faction races for quick rewards without heavy PvP commitment.

• Cursed Coins and Coconuts: Farm cursed coins in Cutlass Keys' Well of Fortune using a glittering golden key (bought weekly). These unlock gear and artifacts. For coconuts, hit the PvP zone in south Cutlass Keys, hunting chests for a chance at these gear-leveling items. Exit the zone quickly to secure your loot.

To maximize gold, avoid impulsive market purchases and focus on high-demand items. A well-timed buy order can net you millions over a few months.

Artifacts: Must-Haves for Season 10

Artifacts are game-changers, and Season 10 demands the best. Here are the top picks:

• Infernal (Magic Users): Farmed in Great Cleave's Imperium Forge (mutated). Boosts magic damage.

• Serenity (PvP): PvP track gem for massive survivability.

• Crescent Wave (DPS): Season pass level 20. Melts enemies in PvE and PvP.

• The Finisher (DPS): Elian Wilds, Isles of Zeron. Essential for endgame DPS builds.

• Sin (Hatchet): Brimstone Sands, West Wall boss. Squad up for this tough fight.

• Deep Freeze (Chill Damage): Adds 15% damage to chilled enemies. Farmed via major breach caches (level 65+).

• Atune of the Pants/Old Crown: Main story quest rewards with +11 to all attributes.

• Featherweight (Light Builds): Farm KFC's chicken in Elian Wilds for a tanky light chest piece.

• Endless Thirst (Earring): Savage Divide (mutated) in Lucian Wilds. Top-tier for PvP.

• Vor Dark Plate (Tanks): Cutlass Keys, Barnacles (mutated). Boosts armor by 20%.

• Plague Herald (Anti-Healer): Crucial for countering healing builds in PvP.

For PvP track gear, focus on Arena (fast but sweaty) or OPR (relaxed and Zerg-heavy). Alternatively, farm PvP quests in Great Cleave for low-conflict grinding.
