Get quest … run for 10 minutes … kill mob or loot … run 10 minutes back … get quest again at a spot slightly further than you were before.
That’s metaphorical for all the other problems with the game. It seems to be designed to be a hamster wheel with an electrified floor. Whatever you do in New World it seems that the game is actively punishing you, making things harder and making everything take longer. I got sick of “Run World” and I wont be playing until you redesign the quest system and put in mounts.
