Salutations and step lightly as we were thrown onto these beaches of Aeternum, the Eternal Isle.
While we journey across this uncharted
land, I will guide those that come after me to better prepare them for the
harrowing dangers and complex hardships to come. It is almost fate that our
paths have crossed, but maybe I should start from the beginning… what is this
New World?
What is the New World?
New World is a massively multiplayer role
playing game (MMORPG) published by Amazon Games. The goal is rather open-ended
as you develop your character either alone or alongside your comrades as you
explore the vast island known as Aeternum. The world offers plenty of lore set
in a time of conquistadors alongside fanciful gestures to magic and the
paranormal. Shipwrecked without allies or supplies, players must rally together
in companies to combat the isle and the dangers it holds, but fear not, this
land always rewards those willing to accept the challenge.
Where we go from here…
I intend on taking anyone and everyone
willing to lend a hand or their time as I attempt to condense the best
information and resources available. This is with the intention of streamlining
the process of more or less gathering, refining, and crafting as this game may
be the first MMORPG entry in their video game repertoire. I have been given
plenty of nicknames by friends and family, but one sticks like a badge of
courage on my shoulder and that is “min-maxer”.
This name came from an uncanny ability I
have to break down a game by its very mechanics and methods to obtain the best
possible path of traversal through either resources or time management. With a
game like New World, a player obtains just as many rewards from the passive
economy that is crafting as they do from exploring and conquering the lands in
which these resources reside. I intend for these guides and walkthroughs to be
educational to myself and those that choose to follow them.
So, what now?
The intention of this experience being
both an educational exposé as well as a call to action for incentive-based
learning is what I aim to accomplish. The guides will cover the various systems
such as skills, equipment, and character development as the intention may not
be for the fastest way to accomplish the goal, but rather, a way to accomplish
multiple tasks while still learning the concepts of New World.
What Next?
The guides will carry a specific focus on
a certain skill or path starting from non-dependent resource gathering. This is
to provide locations or areas in which resources are easier to find and avoid
competing with other players. Results may vary depending on the population of
the server in which you may reside. However, these guides will prepare the
skills needed for late game that will allow competition across the board not
only financially, but eventually in combat as well.
With that being said, I am also willing to
take suggestions and additional information from those that are willing to
provide it or even party up on the server I am under, TumTum.
What does the future foretell?
You can expect that each guide will start
with a simple but interlocking method of mapping out the physical locations in
game as well as points of interest and maybe even some trivia along the way. I
plan to cover all of the branches for every crafting tree as well as how to
prepare for possible bottlenecks or roadblocks when it is most difficult to
advance further into the skill. I also plan to incorporate YouTube videos and
possibly streaming to work out community projects and kick back with friends,
family, and even acquaintances in-game.
This has been my TED Talk, thank you for
