PTR -PvP Rewards and Crafting, Intentional or Bugged?

  • What is your character name in New World:
    Oct PTR on the PTR

  • What server/world did you experience your issue on:
    US East PTR 1

  • Describe the issue you are experiencing:
    1. PvP XP doesn’t carry over when you complete a track.

In the picture, I needed 25 PvP XP to complete my 13th Track. I turned in a Faction Mission that awarded 500 PvP XP. However, when I hit the Milestone and progressed, the remainder 475 XP does not carry over.

2. The crafting mods that are rewarded and contained in the various cache boxes on the PvP Progression Track are Bind on Pickup (BOP). However, when they are used in a craft, they are Bind on Equip (BOE).







  • Is this a bug or an exploit:
    1. and 2. are potential bugs

  • (if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay:
    1. It is inconvenient to lose credit for PvP XP.
    2. It is strange that the rewards are BOP but the crafts are BOE. It will allow crafters who participate in PvP to craft PvP items for sale, but why then are the mods BOP?

  • (if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue:
    1. and 2. are persistent.

  • (if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced:
    Attached above

  • What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced:
    1. Occurs at the completion of every Track I have experienced so far in the PTR.
    2. Occurs with every mod I have tried to craft with.

To further explain 1.

Unless you click on “Complete Track” when the button is highlighted/able to be clicked on, you will lose all PvP XP that you gain. I.E., any PvP XP that you continue to collect will NOT go into the next track, until you click to activate progression on the next track

I’ll go ahead and forward this one to the team but can you also put it in the PTR Bug Reporting thread so we have all of these reports in one place? It’ll make it easier to keep track of all of the PTR-specific bug reports.

Thank you!

Upon further review, your not retaining xp for the PvP rewards track once you reach a checkpoint is intentional. This allows you to continue earning salt in case there is an item you need more Azoth Salt for.

However, your second one is a bug. PvP Perk items and crafts should be BOP as well. The team is looking into this!

thank you so much!

I saw this in game just now in trade chat. Seems like PvP only mods (that are BOP) are still not BOP? Unless PvP only stats can roll on random items when crafting ?
