New World Season 5: Follow This Guide For The Fastest Way To Unlock 8 New Artifacts In Season Of The Guardian

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!

Now that New World Season 5 has released the highly anticipated 5.0.1 update, it's time to delve deep into the patch notes and explore the myriad of changes and additions it brings to the game. Let's dissect each aspect of this update to gain a comprehensive understanding of how it affects the New World experience. In the general release notes, several fixes have been implemented. One addresses an issue where patch deltas could occasionally be larger than necessary, leading to extended client download times. This was a problem I personally encountered, but from now on, patches should be more reasonably sized for download. Additionally, a common game crash that emerged with the initial release of New World Season 5 has been resolved, along with a prevalent server crash. In order to enjoy a smoother gaming experience, we can prepare some New World Coins in advance before the game starts. In-Game Experiences In terms of in-game experiences, a fix has been applied for a situation where players could become stuck in a falling state. Another issue, where player characters would cease animating when falling off ledges or in the midst of upper body animations like spell-casting, has been rectified. Furthermore, a rare problem preventing runes from appearing in the Winter Forge Rune puzzle has been addressed. Slayer Script In terms of combat, significant updates have been made to the Slayer Script. This overhaul transitions the combat and background system to native C++, facilitating easier debugging. Regarding the Slayer script adjustments, various exploits have been addressed. For the Spear weapon, an exploit requiring weapon swapping and dropping to gain additional damage has been rectified. Similarly, several exploits related to the bow weapon, which involved third-party software or action canceling to boost damage, have been fixed. Another exploit involving character movement velocity during certain ranged attacks, allowing players to reposition at a higher speed while crouching, has been resolved. For the issues causing delays in casting abilities, like the Ice Storm Mastery of Ice Gauntlet, and the Berserking Purge ability of hatchet failing to cleanse crowd control effects have been corrected. Problems with the Sword and Shield weapons allowing unchanged heavy attacks as the third action in the list of Trinket Chains has been addressed. Furthermore, fixes have been implemented for the Heartrune of Stoneform's explosion at the end of its ability duration and for the accuracy of non-hit scan weapons' projectiles, ensuring they follow expected trajectories indicated by aiming crosshairs. Artifact Changes Here are some changes related to artifacts in the 5.0.1 patch note: They addressed an issue with the Tempest Fury artifact, ensuring that it consistently provides extra spins while attacking. Another issue fixed was with the Lifetaker artifact, resolving an error related to the type of damage it dealt, making it valid and functional. Other Fixes There are also some fixes for the economy, progression, and gear in the New World 5.0.1 patch note. Crafting Recipes that previously failed to produce the intended item, such as research projects or camp skins, have been rectified. In addition to this, Diamond Gypsum, which became unattainable because of a previous issue, can now be obtained again. It is available in ritual pouches acquired by closing major corruption breaches across the open world. These ritual pouches provide various alchemic crafting materials, potions, some coin, and a single Diamond Gypsum, with a daily limit of 3.

Dear adventurers, this year’s Springtide Bloom Event is back in New World Aeternum. You have until April 30th to get involved! This event asks you to help Bloom Herald uncover the mysteries of the ethereal Wispybloom to earn new and returning event-specific rewards. You need to visit some villages to start quests, earn reputation, and buy items in event-specific shops. In addition, you also need to make Wispy Spritz, because there will be swarms of Wispy Wasps guarding the blooms during harvest! You can use Spritz to lure Wasps into blast radius to kill them, and harvest Wispy Wasp Goo in exchange for Springtide Tokens. In this guide, we’ll talk about everything you need to know about this year’s New World Springtide Bloom Event! All Events Locations Before jumping in, I need to remind you that Truth Seekers must be level 25 or higher before they can begin their quest for enlightenment. There are four Springtide Bloom Locations around Aeternum: Monarch’s Bluff, Everfall, Brightwood, and Weaver's Fen. Each event location has an event-specific store, token trade-in location, and Wispy Spritz crafting tables. And you can also collect all Lore Pages here. Start Event To start an event, you need to visit one of the event locations. Talk to NPC on Bloom Herald platform to start the event. This will walk you through making your first Wispy Spritz and completing your first Wispybloom Field. How To Make Wispy Spritz? To complete this Wispybloom Fields event and get event-specific items, you’ll need to have some Wispy Spritz on hand. You can make them at any event location. Before doing this, you need to prepare some materials, including: 10 Fiber, 3 Honey and 1 Fire Mote. This will give you 8 Wispy Spritz. Once you’ve crafted them, you’re ready to head to Wispybloom Field for the event. Wispybloom Field Wispybloom Fields are located throughout Aeternum. You can easily find them via circles in the sky and icons on the map. Once you enter the field, 3 Wispy Wasps will spawn. They will chase you and cause damage to you, so be careful. If you have enough New World Coins, I would recommend equipping you with some decent gear to avoid getting hurt by these angry Wasps. If you attack Wasps, you only deal 1 damage to them and cannot kill them. To destroy these Wasps, you need to spray Wispy Spritz on one of the glowing white circles. Then, lure Wasps there and Spritz will explode and damage them. But don’t worry, it won’t hurt you. You need to do this about 3 times to completely destroy these Wispy Wasps. When you kill Wasps, sometimes you’ll be rewarded with a Wispy Wasp Goo. This will drop as a loot bag, so check it carefully. When they are dead, you are also free to pick the flowers in the center of the field. Harvesting this flower will reward you with some Wispybloom Petals. These Goo and Petals can be exchanged for Springtide Tokens. You can then use these tokens in the event store to earn event-specific rewards. Improve Event Reputation It is worth noting that there are 3 tiers of items in the event store, namely Blossom, Shepard, and Herald. To access items in each tier, you need to gain sufficient event reputation. The required reputation for items in each tier is: Blossom: 0 Reputation Shepard: 1,000 Reputation Herald: 4,000 reputation You can earn event reputation by completing tasks, interacting with Joyous Gift Piles every day, and exchanging event items for event tokens. Rewards Each settlement will have a richly decorated Springtide Centerpiece surrounded by a bunch of colorful Gift Baskets, and each Centerpiece can be looted once per day. Additionally, you can pick up festive gifts at Springtide Villages center. Each village party bag pile can be robbed once per day, and there are 4 party bag piles in total. These will reset at 5am local time. The above is all the contents of this Springtide Bloom Event guide. Hurry up and join in, reveal the secrets of event lore and win rewards!

After the developers announced New World Aeternum, they subsequently announced Console Beta. This is a re-release of the original game with some changes, new content, and a release on consoles. The original console closed beta was originally scheduled to open on July 11 and last until July 17, giving invitees their first taste of New World on consoles. However, two weeks ago, the team announced a delay to July 25 to July 31 to ensure the best console closed beta experience for players. Console Closed Beta Delay May Just Be A Premonition Of Doom When announcing this delay, it seemed that the team just needed more time to shape the beta and be ready to make a first impression, even if it was only in the beta. But such an explanation did not convince the players, and inevitably, the players began to predict doom again. After all, it's ridiculous that a company this big can't keep up with deadlines, keeps releasing versions full of new and old bugs, and the cycle continues. I even aspire to reach this level of self-confidence. And I don’t think they ever realized that the problems with the game were caused by their own development work. They seem to follow the principle that success and failure are just random, and all they have to do is keep releasing games until they can have a success like the game’s first release in 2021 again. I think any console user who is considering pre-ordering New World Aeternum should know that the experience of PC version is just like this, delays, false publicity, lack of actual functional content, and obvious bugs that have not been fixed for years. So far, for me, it’s an excellent, fun and irreplaceable game, but it has some problems, and I don’t think this development team has the ability or energy to make it better. Aeternum Closed Beta Overview Anyway, this New World Aeternum Closed Beta will last until July 31st, giving players the opportunity to customize their characters, try unique weapons and explore vast supernatural zones. Please note that Console Closed Beta will be divided into two phases: New Player Experience (Phase 1): July 25, 9 AM PT During this period, players can experience what New World Aeternum Console will bring at launch. Please note that the quality of the game will be slightly adjusted considering the short testing period, and Amazon will disable the standard 72-hour chat cooldown when creating a new character. Phase 1 focuses on new player onboarding and the first-time user experience. Endgame Experience (Phase 2): July 28, 7 AM PT During this optional period, players will be able to create a new character and choose one of the level 65 presets in Aeternum. In addition, Closed Beta period will provide players with a variety of endgame gear, powerful weapons, maximum level attribute points, and complete weapon mastery. At the same time, players can also use the level 65 preset to create a new character during this period, or continue to invest New World Coins to obtain new gear and upgrade the original character during Phase 1. Once you’re ready, you can take on the endgame content to try out builds, skills, and get a better idea of ​​what playstyle you might choose. In addition, the developers have scheduled three endgame content tests for July 28-30, including Influence Races, Outpost Rush, and testing Lawless PvPvE zone. To participate in these tests, you must join North American server and test at the scheduled time. Game Modes Are Boring While New World Aeternum does a commendable job of bringing PC experience to console players, it won’t make any non-MMO fans into hardcore fans. It still retains the typical qualities of MMOs and may not attract new audiences. Let’s take combat as an example, which is the core pillar of the game. In New World, attacking enemies is the primary task of the player, but the combat in the game is boring for players holding controllers. Players’ attacks are powerless, enemies are either as soft as sponges or fall down in two hits, and players’ health is very high, so there are no consequences for making mistakes and players rarely need to improvise. Most of the game we played boiled down to locking on to a target, hacking and slashing, and then moving on to the next one. And the extremely monotonous mission structure only makes the situation worse. Almost every mission follows the following pattern: talk to an NPC, go to the quest marker, attack some enemies or collect some resources, and then return to NPC. At the beginning of the game, there are so many missions that if you don’t play with a few friends and don’t take it too seriously, it will definitely be boring. Of course, as you go deeper into the game, you will definitely get more and more excited. After all, this is only the opening part of the game. But the actual operation process is probably not worth our long-term obsession. Final Thoughts In the end, New World Aeternum may just be an interesting concept. Bringing the once popular PC MMO to consoles is a bold decision that may bear fruit if done well, but the current testing situation and our lack of trust in the development team have made us have to think that this game will run its course. Aeternum may prove to be a fun way to kill time with friends, as all the basic content has been nailed for the console audience. But overall, I don’t think it has a chance to recreate the glory of New World. What do you think of New World Aeternum Console Closed Beta? Do you think it’s still worth trying? See you next time!
