New World: Can Aeternum Console Closed Beta Still Bring It Back To Life? - My Personal Opinion

Adventurers, with Halloween approaching, many games have launched related themed events to add to the festive atmosphere, and New World Aeternum is no exception! This is exactly the core of this guide, Nightveil Hallow Event. The event starts on October 22nd and will last until November 5th. In this Nightveil Hallow Event, there is a huge boss called Baalphazu, which revolves around a tournament, and many players need to unite to defeat him, so as to have a chance to get rich rewards. Here, let’s take a deep look at what rewards you can get from it and how to complete it. Start The Event First, you need to go to any major settlement around town. You will see a huge green Bubbling Cauldron somewhere in the center of the town. They are easy to find. But if you have never found them, don’t worry, there are some pumpkin icon markers on the map to help you locate them faster. Next, you will see an NPC called Salvatore. Talk to him and accept the task he gives you. You can also talk to him more if you want to learn more about the event behind the scenes, but it is not necessary. You are given the introductory quest for Nightveil Hallow Event, Baalphazu’s Fall, which is basically the bulk of what you will be doing every day during the event, hunting down and eliminating Baalphazu. But basically, the first time you defeat Baalphazu, there is nothing to do with this quest. Then you just return to Salvatore and place Ichor you received from Baalphazu in Cauldron. Then talk to Salvatore again to unlock some event rewards. After completing the quest, you basically just want to keep grinding this event boss until you get everything you want from the event. But remember that there is a limit to the daily rewards during the event, so you need to take that into account. Baalphazu’s Location Now let’s learn a little more about this Event Boss before we get into the other things you can do during the event, and the rewards you can get. Baalphazu is a level 66 Elite World Boss, and he has some very deadly skills and a lot of health, so get ready for a fight! Luckily, since this event doesn’t last very long and almost everyone wants the rewards, there are usually a lot of people going to take him down. You’ll see icons with his face all over the map, and that’s where he spawns. If you’re having a hard time finding his location on the map, you can use New World map to show all of his possible spawn locations. There aren’t too many, just 6: Brightwood, Ebonscale Reach, Eden Grove, Great Cleave, Morningdale, and Weaver’s Fen. If Baalphazu boss is already in battle, there will be a glowing circle around the event icon, so keep an eye out for that. Note that the most effective way to win the daily kill is to join a group, because if you take on the boss alone, you may not be able to do enough damage until it’s killed. How To Defeat Baalphazu? Now that we know where Baalphazu spawns and how to get to him, let’s move on to his mechanics. If enough people are fighting him, you can spam him and eventually he’ll go down, especially if you’re in a larger group. But technically, if you want to help the most, you need to kill all Pumpkinites crawling around the area. Baalphazu will frequently summon mobs, and these Pumpkinites, when killed, will explode and cause Pumpkin Fall in a small area. Pumpkins will stay on the ground after they fall, and players can pick them up and throw them to Baalphazu to stun him. As Baalphazu’s Stamina Bar slowly depletes, he will stop moving and deal more damage. At this point, it’s best for everyone to jump on him and start spamming him with the highest DPS until he stands up again. Then you just need to repeat this process again until he is defeated. This is not a hard battle, especially if you have some pleasant companions to fight with you. So if you are low level, make sure to get into a group. It will make the boss farming process much easier. There are two other mobs running around in this battle, and that are Gourdspewer and Calabashers. But these mobs are very important because they drop a small healing AoE when killed, and you can only survive the battle if you make full use of this. Baalphazu Rewards Now that you know how to find and defeat Baalphazu, let’s take a look at the rewards you can get from him. Once Baalphazu dies, it will drop a Reward Box along with a few other rewards, including New World Coins, XP, Azoth, and possibly one or two new Halloween Costumes. Now, with Baalphazu’s Ichor you’ve acquired, run back to Salvatore’s Cauldron and interact with it to complete the quest and claim your rewards. Rewards include 2 Random Nightveil Hallow Weapon Patterns, 5 Nightveil Tokens, and access to Nightveil Sentinel section in Event Shop. These are just the rewards you’ll get for your first kill of Baalphazu. However, you can farm Baalphazu five times a day for Armor Piece and three times a day for Costume. Each additional Ichor you get from killing him can also be turned in to Salvatore repeatedly for the following rewards: 7-13 Nightveil Tokens 1 Random Nightveil Hallow Weapon Pattern Coin Bag (3 Times Daily) 1 White Gypsum Trick Or Treat However, challenging Baalphazu isn’t the only thing you’ll be doing during Nightveil Hallow Event. There’s another really fun part to the event, which is Trick or Treat. Since you can get some Costumes from defeating Baalphazu or from Cauldrons in most major towns, however, they only last for the duration of this event, so use them before the event ends or they’ll disappear. These Costumes will transform you into some of your favorite characters you’ve met throughout your journey, such as Captain Thorpe, Adiana, Anubian Reaver, and Lost Monarch, and once you’re wearing Costume, you can search for hidden Treat Baskets in each town. These have a 10% chance of containing Baalphazu Armor Pieces, 2 Nightveil Tokens (3 times per day), and a new item, Candy. This limited-time consumable comes in 4 flavors, and some candies may be very helpful to your event, while others may have unexpected consequences. Candy This candy comes in four variations, and they all give you very interesting limited-time effects. Angry Earth Candy Fish will turn your character into a fish for 10 seconds. Lost Black Licorice will increase your luck for 5 minutes. Corrupted Jelly Beans will give your character Red Glowing Eyes for a certain period of time. Ancient Grizzly Gummies will increase the number of Nightveil Tokens you receive for 5 minutes. Note that this candy is also limited to this event, so use them up before it ends or they will disappear. How To Use Your Nightveil Tokens? But as you go around Candying and killing Baalphazu, you slowly start to accumulate a ton of Nightveil Tokens, and you might be wondering what to do with them. That’s where Event Shop comes in. It’s also everyone’s favorite part of the event, because you can trade in your Tokens for really cool rewards. In fact, every year, classic items return, like Jack-o-Lantern’s Smile, Pride of the Witch, and Skeleton Twirl Emote. But they add new stuff every year, so every time this event comes around, not only can you go get the stuff you missed last year, but you can also get some nifty new stuff. You’ll see what all current and previous Nightveil Hall unique rewards look like on the screen. So you can decide what you want to prioritize, or if you already have all the unique items. You can go for repeatable rewards, for example, Chromatic Seal is always a useful item, so you can get one of those every 3 days. This will save you a lot of New World Aeternum Coins in the long run. Or, you can get some Elite and Legendary Weapon Patterns for your adventures. I will warn you though that this isn’t worth it as it’s not the max gear score, but it may be worth it to you as a stepping stone gear or to level up your crafting skills. Final Thoughts In conclusion, this guide covers everything related to New World Nightveil Hallow Event. Hopefully, this guide will help some of you better prepare for this event and complete the quests more efficiently. So keep fighting Baalphazu and saving Aeternum!

The upcoming release of Season 5 in New World heralds the arrival of several lucrative opportunities for making New World Coins.  This guide will explore various methods to capitalize on these opportunities during the initial days of New World Season 5. Let’s delve into the details without delay. 1. Matrices The first point may seem obvious, but it’s essential to emphasize, particularly with the arrival of Season 5.  New artifacts are being introduced to the game, some of which are exceptionally powerful. This will undoubtedly drive demand as players rush to acquire and upgrade these artifacts quickly. Consequently, prices for armor, jewelry, and weapon matrices are expected to soar during the initial days of Season 5.  To capitalize on this opportunity, consider placing buy orders at the lowest possible cost or engaging in bulk crafting using gypsum casts. This will allow you to flip these items for a quick profit on day 1. 2. Ingredients Furthermore, Season 5 introduces new recipes for high-quality attribute foods.  It may be advantageous to take quick screenshots of these recipes as the prices for their ingredients are likely to surge in the initial days of Season 5.  Therefore, consider purchasing ingredients at lower prices now to capitalize on selling them at higher prices later. 3. Refining Components Moving on, let’s discuss refining components.  Typically, New World experiences a surge in activity during the initial days of a new season launch. This influx of players leads to increased crafting and utilization of various components, resulting in higher demand and subsequently higher prices. This trend persists not only during Season 5, but also in subsequent seasons. To prepare for this, consider placing buy orders or purchasing inexpensive components in bulk. By doing so, you can capitalize on selling them for higher prices during the first two days of the next season’s launch. I’ve already stocked up on a significant quantity of these components when buy orders were at 0.1, ensuring easy profits as I anticipate higher selling prices during the early days of Season 5. 4. Resource Nodes Another notable addition is the introduction of numerous new resource nodes in Season 5 of New World. This influx of resources, particularly ore, is expected to drive down the overall cost of various resource types. You have 2 viable options:  Firstly, consider selling off all your reserves of Orichalcum and Mythril preemptively.  Alternatively, upon the launch of Season 5, seize the opportunity to engage in intensive mining activities in Myrkgard. By swiftly gathering resources and selling them before prices decline, you can maximize your profits. 5. Market Flipping Finally, it’s crucial to anticipate the upcoming additions to the game, particularly the introduction of new weapons and armor pieces. For instance, let’s focus on the new artifact designed to enhance slash damage. Given this development, crafting modifications geared towards boosting slash damage are likely to be in high demand during the initial days of Season 5, leading to an increase in their overall price. If you’re willing to take a calculated risk, consider accessing the trading post and placing some buy orders to capitalize on this potential surge in prices. While it’s improbable that 50 people will purchase these items on day one of Season 5, there’s a significant likelihood that their prices will substantially rise.  This strategy can be applied to various other items as well. The key is to assess upcoming content and adjust your approach based on anticipated demand.

Greetings, fellow players! In today's discussion, we're diving deep into the reasons why Fire Staff builds stand out in New World Season 5. Our focus will be on the Nature's Wrath, a pivotal element within these builds. I'll meticulously examine every aspect to showcase the formidable power of this newly introduced artifact and some excellent gems, along with highlighting some remarkable synergies with the Fire Staff. So, without further ado, let's delve into it! About Nature's Wrath The Nature's Wrath, which is a new artifact if you haven't played in New World Season 5, that increases your base damage by 20% at the cost of never being able to gain a temporary Empower, the weird interaction with this, with Fire Staff, is that it actually has no net nerf to Fire Staff. It is very necessary to carry some New World Coins with you so that you can deal with other situations. Because 3 sources of Empowers in Fire Staff are all not temporary Empowers, they're conditional Empowers, and conditional Empowers are not stripped by this effect. So, Fire Staff can essentially gain 20% base damage for free, which results in it doing more damage. For the Nature's Wrath, you have to make a choice there where you're trading off some sort of burst that you would be getting from Empower for more consistency that you'd be getting from base damage. Empower for most weapons that are Elemental. You can typically have 14% associated with the damage ring of the Elemental. In this case, it would be a fire damage ring, and 7% associated with a Powerful Honing Stone, which brings you to 14. Add on the 10% that you'd be getting from a Runeglass by putting in a Runeglass in all your armor, you're up to 24. And then you add on these 2 extra 5%, then you're up to 34. You can add on the extra 20% that you get from Runes of Helios, and you're over that Empower cap. Runeglass Gems Another thing that kind of compounds with this problem is the advantage of Runeglass that Elemental damage-oriented weapons have. Runeglass from an elemental variant does Empower, and it has no active cooldown. It is a bigger value than it is for melee-oriented classes. Melee-oriented classes gain 1% base damage. It has a 1 second activation cooldown, versus something like the Fire Staff gains 2% in power, and it has no activation cooldown. So, Fire Staff is twice as powerful in terms of pure stats alone. Because you're gaining base damage, you need more Empower to get near that cap to maximize your damage overall. This is like a wonderful source of that everyone takes as a sacrifice to your armor rating. You drop from 2.5% on a typical gem to 2% for the armor rating. Elemental weapons inherently have an advantage with this, and people are using this with the Fire Staff to do incredible amounts of damage. They can essentially hit the Empower cap. Jasper Gem The Jasper is fixed in terms of Runeglass. Jasper is the best way to increase your Empower in New World Season 5. All you have to do is put it into your gem slot, and you will gain 24% Empower, which will consistently put you at or near the Empower cap for most weapons. This allows you to deal more damage than base damage. Essentially, maximizing each individual bucket results in more damage. That's why it's usually beneficial for certain weapons to not solely invest in base damage. It's better to maximize power. It's something that people can do to maximize damage on their builds in the game.

Greeting, fellow players! Today, I'm excited to share you 4 raw resources you can farm in specific locations to accumulate significant wealth in New World Season 5. Despite the drop in overall pricing in crafting, there are still straightforward methods to amass gold. Let me introduce them to you. Valuable Resources For gold making in the New World Season 5, the raw resources are the most important to focus on. After carefully analyzing the market, I identified the most valuable resources for gold-making. On my server, the top 4 resources are Ironwood, Lodestone, Dark Hide, and Orichalcum Ore. Ironwood stands out as the most lucrative, followed by Loadstone, which commands a price of 64 each. While Dark Hide is less expensive, its abundance makes it a worthwhile addition to the list, offering quick returns. Lastly, the Orichalcum Ore, though less profitable, remains notable for its availability. In the subsequent section of this guide, I will outline the 4 optimal locations for harvesting these 4 resources and then vendor for large number of wealth. By doing so, you can ensure that you are making the most efficient use of your time while gathering these valuable materials. 1. Edengrove - Ironwood Let's start by discussing prime locations for farming the Ironwood trees. One of the most favorable spots is found in Edengrove. Begin your journey at the Spirit Shrine, then proceed a short distance northward, circling through the area. In this location, you'll encounter a generous abundance of the Ironwood trees ripe for harvesting. Don't forget to leverage your consumables or, in some cases, utilize some of your New World Coins to optimize your overall output during this endeavor. 2. Weaver's Fen - Loadstone Let's talk about the Loadstone, a well-known resource in the New World. Head to the Weaver's Fen, just north of Glacial Tarn Shrine. If you open your map, you'll see a prime area for Loadstone farming. Start in a small circle, head north, and follow the direction. As you traverse, you'll encounter an abundance of Loadstone nodes. This area stands out as arguably the optimal spot for Loadstone farming, promising swift and bountiful returns. If you're seeking rapid profits, investing your time and effort into harvesting Loadstone is undoubtedly worthwhile. 3. Elysian Wilds - Dark Hide Continuing forward, let's explore one of the preferred regions for harvesting Dark Hide: the Elysan Wilds area, particularly in the upper right quadrant. While the entire map offers abundant Dark Hide, should you desire a more concentrated endeavor, directing your efforts to this specific locale proves fruitful. For those desiring a more targeted approach, directing your efforts towards the Alligators inhabiting this area yields significant advantages. I strongly advocate for the use of a spear when engaging these creatures, as it notably enhances efficiency and facilitates the collection process. 4. Reekwater - Orichalcum Ore Last but not least, for farming the Orichalcum Ore, we need to head to the lower right corner of Reekwater and there will be an abundance of resource. Head straight down, encountering a significant concentration of Orichalcum Ore Veins. While there are multiple locations to mine this resource, this area is to be the most condensed and efficient. I recommend mining before the Operas event and maximizing the yield. After mining the entire line of Orichalcum Ore Veins, join the Opera event, and upon completion, return to mine them again. This cycle repeats seamlessly. For those seeking optimal efficiency in farming Orichalcum, this spot in the lower right corner of Reekwater is undoubtedly the best choice.
