New World Leveling Basics

New World Leveling Basics

Welcome to our guide on leveling efficiently in New World! This guide focuses on fun, sustainable approaches that won't burn you out.

Getting Started

When you first spawn in Aeternum, you'll want to focus on a few key activities:

Town Board Quests: These are your bread and butter for fast XP

Main Story Quests: Follow the yellow markers for great rewards

Side Quests: Pick these up as you explore new areas

Path 1: Town Boards + Crafting

One of the most efficient ways to level is by combining town board quests with gathering and crafting:

Accept all town board quests in your current settlement

Gather materials while completing other quests nearby

Craft items for turn-ins when you're back in town

Repeat the cycle

Pro Tips

Pin town board tasks near your route to stack gains

Focus on gathering quests (hemp, wood, iron) early game

Save crafting mats for high-XP board quests

Path 2: Expedition Spam

If you prefer group content, expeditions offer solid XP and great gear:

Amrine Excavation (25+): Your first dungeon experience

Starstone Barrows (35+): Step up in difficulty

Depths (45+): Challenging but rewarding

Weapons and Build

Early game, try different weapons to find your style:

Sword & Shield: Tanky and forgiving

Spear: Great reach and CC

Bow: Ranged DPS for PvE

Life Staff: Always in demand for groups
