So with New World launching tomorrow (technically today in six hours) I wanted to say a few words about this MMO by Amazon. I think Amazon will develop it into the World of Warcraft of the 2020s, since it's already reached considerable hype. What you experience today is just the bare bones of what it will become in the spirit of MMOs optimized into very layered online experiences.

Still the audio, the crafting, some of the concepts that makes combat a bit more fun with duel weapons does have a good foundation.

As I experience New World, it's really the crafting I think that interests me the most.

When you arrive at Aeternum, you will immediately have this feeling that you can interact with a lot of the items you come across in the expansive world. Therefore things like gathering, crafting and refining your skills of the land feel more immersive than many other MMOs and similar games.

You can purchase the game on Steam here. Reviews in Beta were pretty positive and the player base is what's most exciting, that fresh feeling that there will be very populated servers where you can enjoy your time with your friends.

The quests, mobs and PvE experiences though might be a bit lacking in variety, so the crafting thus becomes a bit more enjoyable.

Think about the possibilities and what craft you might like to specialize in that could be useful to a bigger team or your group of friends.

  • Arcanists craft potions, tinctures, and magical weapons.
  • Armorers craft apparel.
  • Cooks craft meals and drinks.
  • Engineers craft ranged weapons and ammunition.
  • Furnishers craft furniture, chests, and trophies for houses.
  • Jewelcrafters craft trinkets.
  • Weaponsmiths craft melee weapons.

There are currently 7 crafting skills in New World:

Let's think also about where to find things you might need:

Are you ready for a game where gathering and crafting might be more fun than power-leveling and fighting look-alike mobs in the first few weeks of the game? This is likely it. I hope these lists helps someone out there.

So there's crafting and refining, on top of gathering.

Crafting

Refining

Typically you'll want to specialize in a craft that complements your choice of duel-weapon class. By speciazling you can progress faster and make more of a profit with the in-game economy.
