New World Quick Start Guide

 Priorities

The goal for this guide is to both educate and usher new players coming into the game not only quickly, but to assist these players in efficiently adapting to the tasks thrown at them from the very beginning. Shortly after starting the tutorial section, a new player can either follow along with the guided portion of the walkthrough or enter their settings menu to respawn and thus bypassing this section altogether. The only benefit from this first section would be the free weapon skill level that a player would obtain for the sword and shield weapon typing. If a player is not interested with investing their time with this weapon than opting out by method of respawning via the setting menu may be your fast forward button in disguise. Once the game has quite literally thrown the player’s character onto a washed-up beach, they may begin their first steps into the literal New World. Most people would be awestruck by the environment and other distractions, but this guide is here to reign the would-be explorers in as there will be plenty of work to be completed if they want to start out your adventure the correct way.



Optimization

The most optimal step into the New World would be beginning the process of starting the main story questline, but before suggesting this path, players should collect roughly four of each resource required to craft the beginner tools. The resources needed for these tools will be flint, which can be located lying all over the starting beach area, and green wood that can be collected from any of the outlying bushes lining the beaches where players have arrived on. After crafting a small collection of tools consisting of the flint family, players can now begin the starting quest lines leading to their first settlements. These settlements will act as a hub for at least the first few levels or until a player has grown strong enough to fight their way out of their current region. While traveling to the first settlement, it would be in a player’s best interest to collect the following ingredients: forty stone, sixteen rawhides, and forty green wood. The stone and wood can be acquired from picking boulders and chopping down young trees in the vicinity, but rawhides will require players to begin fighting their first enemies, the surrounding fauna of the New World.



Preparation

These materials will allow players to begin dabbling in their respective refinement processes as crafting is a major focus in this game. The stones, wood, and hides will be converted into blocks, timber, and leather as the items will all be requirements for a handful of the beginner questlines. A few items required for later will need certain skill levels achieved in order to obtain or collect the essential materials for progression. Of these items, two will be necessary as the main storyline will be blocked without them. These items will be a water affinity plant called a Rivercress and the other is a previous metal known to man as silver ore. The silver ore should be hardly an issue since it only requires a skill level of ten in order to collect from a silver vein to obtain it. However, Rivercress requires a harvesting level of thirty to collect their valuable components.



Goals

In order to achieve these short-term goals, players will need to collect a few items to craft upgrades to their current tool collection. These new tools will replace the previous ones as they are not only more durable, but they will also collect materials at a faster rate. The resources needed for the creation of these tools will be twenty-four rawhide, forty green wood, and 152 iron ore. The two previous materials have been worked with by players before, but the iron smelting process will be new to any player that was unable to collect the resource prior until now. After the creation of these new tools, players may wander into the wild to harvest fibers, herbs, and other organic resources to begin leveling this skill. The players can also attempt to locate or gather a sum of twenty silver ore along the way to smelt five silver ingots for a later questing purpose. This can also be carried out while navigating the landscape in search for water, a fungus called Petacalp, and the Rivercress as the stem will be vital to a main story quest. With these specific items, tools, and direction set, players may now simply follow the main story quests without any further delay. This will allow new players to familiarize themselves with the game while having everything needed to complete at least one third of what the current game offers. I hope you have found this guide useful and wish you luck and Godspeed adventurers!
