Returning player: Questions

Good to see this forum is still very active despite a big drop in playerbase. I was excited to read all the changes on steam. Extremely low travel cost, linked storage throughout the world and reduced taxes. I also read you linked the market, not sure if this one is true.
With those changes my need for mounts is gone. I can explore on foot without too much punishment.

  • Im overjoyed to read all this. I came here for explanation about the expertise system. Watermark was the worst design Ive ever seen, so I was happy to read about the change. Can someone explain the expertise system in more depth?

  • How is the open world pvp/pk? I absolutely adored the open world pvp NW had to offer but not many people dared to flag.
    So how many of you are flagged and how did they convince you?

  • With storage linked, can you use materials from other region if you are crafting during the process or must I walk back to my wharehouse? Are we taxed by using resources from other region in this case and how much?

  • How does my Great axe and Hatchet fare now?

It is true.

Do activity tied to the differnt types of Gypssum (OPR, Expeditions, get a trade skill level, famr named boss, etc) and get pretty gypsum stones. Turn them in for a gypsum cast and then open it for a bump.

Reference this YouTube video: New World NEWS! WINTER CONVERGENCE, EXPERTISE System, Crafting changes! - YouTube

Keep in mind that the drop rates have been changed as this is 6 months old but this is the primer for educational purposes.

Its not great, I will be honest. Though it is heavily dependent on your server, If you are on a low pop, transfer immediately.

You still have to have the items with you in the city you are crafting in, However, since all storage is linked, you can bring stuff from wherever to you from your storage.

Great axe is good still and Hatchet has some good buffs coming.

Thanks for the reply. I sorta get it… Its the same concept as HWM but we have more activities to choose from now… Im not sure how I feel about that.
Is there still a daily limit on how many Gypssum you can obtain from activities?

I always felt hatchet needed a physics buff or launch while swinging. You miss ALOT with this weapon.

There is. They are buffing the sizes of the bumps on the PTR now too so that should ease that strain a bit.

But now you can also get bumps from running end game Expeditions as well. No more camping that one named mob for a hopeful bump.

Oh and they are removing the keys for expeditions too so you can run those till your eyes bleed.

They are capping mutated expeditions to 25 a week. Wont matter to you cause mutations are for when you hit your 600 GS

Yes, unfortunately there is still a limited amount of daily gypson, only 1 per type. Yes, the most feasible to increase the GS experience are the RUN and Dungeons.

This sounds a bit better. So judging by your wording they have yet to implment unlimited low end lv 60 expeditions?

Im gonna give it a go. Sounds like they changed alot which is worth trying out atleast.

Wrong. Saphires can. And now also Rubys as of the most recent patch. Also they announced they are making the arena one drop two a day.

But even so, they cannot be exchanged in the same item or can they?

definitely can. Try it.

until yesterday you couldn’t at least

Rubys, yes. Sapphires, no. been like this a while.

you can craft 2 gypsum orbs from Sapphire (dungeons), Citrine (Boss Arenas). Those gypsum orbs can be used to make casts, and you can only make 1 cast per item slot per day.

Yesterdays patch added 2 gypsum orbs for 3v3 arenas (Garnet Gypsum), and made it so that the recipe for OPR was 1 ruby gypum = 1 gypsum orb instead of 2.

So if you ran 2 dungeons, 2 OPR’s, 2 Sirens arenas and won 2 3v3 arena matches, you’d get 8 gypsum orbs in a day. You can get five more gypsum orbs If you get the 1 emerald for crafting, the 3 diamond for the daily bags, 5 topaz for mobs, and 3 obsidians for bosses, and 7 amethysts for breech closures,

So, theres now 13 total daily gypsum orbs. but yes, you can only bump each slot once a day.

After the july patch the bumps are bigger, and they add in a whole other type of "infused’ orbs that can potentially add even more bumps, allowing you 2 bumps a day in a particular slot.

All of that exlcudes the natural bumps you get from getting loot.
