This is the reason why i always check your channel for anything NW related info/guides. Cant wait to start on a fresh server and get that new game feeling.
Seeing that "Sponsored by Amazon games" is so satisfying. This sponsorship is long overdue and should be a regular with the amount and quality of content you put out for the game! Congratulations, Baggins! Aight, be watching the video now :D
If you don't start at the same spot as your friends and don't want to create a new character, you can do the first few quests, and when it leads you to the main city, you can talk to the NPC in front of it to finish the quest and stop before he gives you the next quest that will be inside the city. You will see on the map that you can either talk to him, or to the NPC in front of the city where your friends are. At this point, you can walk across the map to the city where your friends are, and talk to the NPC in front of their city, to continue the main story line with them !
Hey Baggins, I've been following you since before Amazon sponsored your channel. You're an awesome creator and always share great info. Thanks for keeping the game alive!
The ambience of this game has only been matched by AC Black Flag for me. Doing simple things that I usually hate doing in other mmos, like mining, is actually very nice to me in this game.
Started playing yesterday and i already discovered just how valuable crafting is by spend a couple hours gathering resources and leveling my crafting skills I have easily crafted gear that is just leagues better than what the quest have been giving me and have been making good coin selling the gear I make but aren't using
@buildandrelax1495 you can buy items in the auction house but if you're leveling your crafting you're going to be able to craft better items then what's usually in the auction house
That is the biggest thing I have learned so far. Once at your 1st town, get your gathering tools and start mining materials. Go after ore and get yourself iron gathering tool along with iron weapons and armor. Then be ready to move up to silver, etc.
The only thing that really matters during your character creation is what starting bonuses you want to start with spear is good because of reach but once I got my hands on a rapier that was my jam it is so good and when you combine it with a blunderbuss it makes things die😅
Only thing I would say, getting to 50 in any given profession is pretty quick compared to the time you'll spend playing. I wouldn't overthink those bonuses. Great video, thanks for the tips!
Excellent info. Thank you. Coming from ESO I have a huge learning curve. Guides like this make is so much less stressful. You re good at keeping it to simple and easy information without a lot of extra junk. Thank you again!
@@ivancastro4571 theres a huge backlash against aimlock but it seems like ags are not listening as always. Theyll probably release the game with aimlock, lose most of the playerbase within 2 weeks, and then try to fix the issue after the damage is done.
Been down for some time now. I have almost played no game in the past month, but I think I might start new world again. Thank you for the great video man.
Would love a quick guide for returning players! I haven't played since before the DLC dropped, and am looking to jump back in with the re-release, but I am so lost.
Quick helpful note about trying to play at the same starting point. When you recreate your character, once you're past that initial "dodge, hit, heavy attack" tutorial, you can skip the rest of the entire tutorial sequence in the menu. This is a bog time saver. Alternatively! Just complete the beach quests until you get to the town and you'll then see you have the MSQ icon in the other town. This I believe occurs after you've unlocked storage and the trade post. Running between Prydwen and Corinth is trivial for a low level character. Stick to roads as much as you can (they give a 15% run speed buff) and if you do see high level enemies just keep running. You can then join your friend(s) in the other town with the same MSQ as them.
I tried this in the beta's and it didn't work as i couldn't collect any of the quests in the new town only in the original town I was at. In the end only starting a new character fix this and left me way behind my friend trying to catch up.
Just started NW and it HIGH KEY feels like Neverwinter (NW). Simple and straight to the point controls. At least on console. All in all. I think I’m going to enjoy my new adventure
Thank you buddy, during the beta's I kept asking why my friend and I were in different starting locations and if it meant I had to keep making a new character until we were together and nobody including customer support or social media helped with this question. I must admit that being given a choice of where to start would be better as making a new character isn't easy or quick thanks to the naming system, even 2 mins after the closed beta launch I spent 30 mins trying to find a name as apparently all of them were taken, even the ones I deliberately misspelled or made up -- odd.
On Oct 15th apparently anyone who hasn't logged in within the past 6 months will lose their name and those names will become available again. So upon the relaunch, try those names again and you might have a more favorable outcome.
Just started this game got it for Christmas, I think I like it so far I’m a new dad and I work full time I enjoy games I don’t have to sweat and pound g fuel
I hope they add something like legendary hunts/gathers where you can find a legendary animal/tree/ore that's super rare for achievement purposes, to give us something to look for when we're sick of dungeons
Good audio to ease people into it and keep them from feeling like they are making mistakes. One thing, though. You'll "converge in an hour or two"? Sure, if you skip every side quest, don't let the cut scenes play, and gather nothing. Converging won't happen for a good five or six hours, on average, and longer if they do anything extra. Might be better to tell people that it's really not that hard to connect across the map with a bit of running if they want to gather up and play from start.
I don't think you mentioned but if you're on PC you need the Rise of the Angry Earth DLC to get a mount and to go over level 60 and do the end game content.
@@jobayershort Nah, the base game is £25 (think it was £30 when I bought it on launch) and you get over 100h of good gameplay out of that. The lack of sub or prolific mtx makes the one off purchase of a DLC perfectly reasonable. AGS have no reason to care if they lose players if those players are worth £0 to them. I think it's unreasonable to be unwilling to spend a one off £25 on the DLC to get access to hundreds of hours of gameplay. It works out much cheaper than other mmos.
@@Jallenbah MMO game without player is a dead game. newworld is currently a dead game because they got like 4-5k active players. They sold 1mil+ copies of the base game and if i am not wrong 70% of them leave before the DLC release. they are not going to return if they can't access the mount and get to the max level. AGS can lock the zone behind DLC but locking mount and level cap behind DLC isn't a good idea.
@@jobayershort doesn't matter. Loads of players coming from console and their edition of the game has the dlc included. Their numbers will sort the player count issue.
@@jobayershort Calling New world a dead game is a bad faith arguement. A MMO is only dead when there very few other players to do content with within the game becuase AGS has always merged servers there have always been other players in the game to do content with regardless of the numbers of copies originally sold. Many other other MMO's before WoW had only a few thousand players and thrieved bc they where all on one server. As long as New world can make enough moneuy to pay its employees and Players still have other players to trade and do content with a game is not "Dead".
Always go for the gear that has the best stats do not mind the gear score because it's secondary and if you're going primarily for gear score you're going to be losing out a lot more than if you just don't equip it
I love how quickly you can attain level 65 gear I had a sword at level 25 for level 65 😂 although couldn’t bloody use it still like level 51 got a little more to go.
Wild that I stop playing this game maybe a year ago? Loved it but just didn’t hold me I’m not sure why, this new revamp of the game is making it feel like a new release and it’s got me really excited to hop on there!
New World has been out for years at this point, and after the initial exiddus due to server population issues, bugs, company monopolies, ect, why should we be coming back to the game now? has something changed? are player counts rising to functional numbers? how can i avoid being too far behind the pack to catch up? While a guide like this is very helpful for those looking to get started, i think many of us want to have answers to some of these questions, before we invest time back into this game. Maybe a video idea for the future?
This is probably the best moment to start! As most will likely start a new character (such as new console players mixed in the fray) with the story revamp and new cut scenes and end game and PvEvP extraction location. New trials and raid too. Plus can swim, the game is a lot more polished in general even the graphics in my opinion and little things like the jump action. Servers now have the shard system so you are now more likely to see other players in the world. Not going to lie there will probably be bugs but what game doesn't?? Judging from the beta there is a lot to be excited about! Plus if people like crafting which I am now doing, it's a good part of the game.
What i really wished that amazon wouldve done is kill this as an MMO and re-released it as a drop in drop out co-op rpg. Im sure theres always going to be a niche but faithful pvp community playing but i just don't see new world seeing a huge resurgence for pvp focus which is a shame because it was really fun. Plus it'll let us have fast mounts lol
I’m level 18 and doing the Windsward quest line. My wife just made a new character and is in Monarch’s Bluff. Will we eventually end up on the same quests in Everfall? Is that what he was saying in the first part?
when should I join a faction? is it in everfall? when should I buy the house? also in everfall? I am lvl 17 and still in the lil starter village and kinda overwhelmed. because SIDE QUESTS SO MANY SIDE QUESTS. I dont wanna miss anything important.
Does your current gear score effect the gear score of dropped items in game ie from dungeons, mini bosses or world drops etc? If so it would be best to just equip any higher gear score item until your gear score is at soft cap if there is a soft cap before hitting capped gear score ?? I'd say soft cap would be 700 then 725 max??
That's is if gear score plays a major part in maximizing DPS as some games when you do get above soft cap the DPS changes dramatically so it's kind of an essential to get max gear score
hey, so there will be no free skin for missions, or will you only mutate the m3 from the store? Do you know anything about guns? I'm asking because it's strange that they showed a new weapon in the trailer that was supposed to be released on the 15th and didn't say anything about it.
hello Baggins I haven't been on in about 5 months I am coming back for the Oct 15th release, is it there any benefit to making a new char or just continuing with the one I already have? I only pve and don't do any pvp content.
I haven't played since the burning sands expansion. I'm a little lost, did characters get wiped in this rebrand? Would I need to make a new character if I decide to come back? What makes the new version of the game different?
will the game be cross save on launch ? I used to play on PC but its down and out lol but was going to buy on PS and was hoping to be able to access my older character and my outfits I have.
Wait at the end that looked like a home, so we can own properties like in eso?? And looked like you can customize it as well, how was this not mentioned?
@BagginsTV does the 15% duration to damage over time effects from DEX stack with the +30% from INT also would these also work with the DoT of Ice Storm and the Void Gauntlet Oblivion damage?
Riddle me this, why are there so few flails for sale on the AH? Can buy any other weapon type with whatever mods you want. Flails, there is like 3 greens and 10 greys....
This is the reason why i always check your channel for anything NW related info/guides. Cant wait to start on a fresh server and get that new game feeling.
there will Early Access as well?
Seeing that "Sponsored by Amazon games" is so satisfying. This sponsorship is long overdue and should be a regular with the amount and quality of content you put out for the game! Congratulations, Baggins! Aight, be watching the video now :D
It's all dsp ever wanted to be
I have heard so many negative comments about this release on Reddit, but I am really looking forward to this!
If you don't start at the same spot as your friends and don't want to create a new character, you can do the first few quests, and when it leads you to the main city, you can talk to the NPC in front of it to finish the quest and stop before he gives you the next quest that will be inside the city.

Thanks we were so confused during beta 🤣🤣
Or just ummm delete your character that you haven’t played for more than 10 minutes and make a new one….
Top tier video, very helpful.
Thank you, Baggins!
Hey Baggins, I've been following you since before Amazon sponsored your channel. You're an awesome creator and always share great info. Thanks for keeping the game alive!
Played on launch, played again when the expansion dropped ...might just play again on PS5. Just like this game, it scratches that itch.
The ambience of this game has only been matched by AC Black Flag for me. Doing simple things that I usually hate doing in other mmos, like mining, is actually very nice to me in this game.
Started playing yesterday and i already discovered just how valuable crafting is by spend a couple hours gathering resources and leveling my crafting skills I have easily crafted gear that is just leagues better than what the quest have been giving me and have been making good coin selling the gear I make but aren't using
Cant you just buy it at the auction house?
@buildandrelax1495 you can buy items in the auction house but if you're leveling your crafting you're going to be able to craft better items then what's usually in the auction house
That is the biggest thing I have learned so far. Once at your 1st town, get your gathering tools and start mining materials. Go after ore and get yourself iron gathering tool along with iron weapons and armor. Then be ready to move up to silver, etc.
Pro tip: level your constitution (health) up to 50 before anything else. Will help you punch way above your weight in the early game
hey if I choose hunter archetype cant I use rapier/bow ? I'm tied to spear?
@@bahriceylan5199 You can use whatever weapon the game has. Bow - spear, rapier - bow, sword - blunderbus etc etc.
@@The_Daily_Tomato ohh okey in video it said bow/spear always so I wonder cuz I dont like spear astetic I like bow/rapier tbh
@bahriceylan5199 it's just a starting thing. Once in the game you can equip whatever weapons you find and like 😊
The only thing that really matters during your character creation is what starting bonuses you want to start with spear is good because of reach but once I got my hands on a rapier that was my jam it is so good and when you combine it with a blunderbuss it makes things die😅
This game is great fun. I hope the player base and content continue to increase and it has a long life.
Thanks for the video, can’t wait to get this on release for PS5, brand new player here
Only thing I would say, getting to 50 in any given profession is pretty quick compared to the time you'll spend playing. I wouldn't overthink those bonuses.

I pray that with the influx of a new player base that we can relive that awesome pvp we had at release
Not with aimlock

Thanks for the info
I’m looking forward to it. It looks a cool game
Came to this after throne and liberty. NW is waaaaay more beginner friendly
Should i get this
You didn't mention that mounts are not available without the expansion

great vid can’t wait till october 15tg
Comes out on my bday 😊 torn between tank or healer which is needed more later down the line?
Healer for sure
I find it pretty easy to switch styles whenever you want. You are not locked to a certain style :)
I wish we could free download the game and make our character God that would save so much more time. Since we pre-ordered it
What i really wished that amazon wouldve done is kill this as an MMO and re-released it as a drop in drop out co-op rpg.

How is the appearance customization and social aspects of the game?
cool, ty
Great video - I thought it said "legumes of Aeternum" at first because, the players are like peas in a pod...
What is the best Console players roles?
nice well explained video simple and to the point could be more advance and in depth but nice video
do you think its still worth buying tho
I hit that lvl 30 lull the first two times i tried it lol I wonder if this time will be different...
holy adbreaks batman
I’m level 18 and doing the Windsward quest line. My wife just made a new character and is in Monarch’s Bluff. Will we eventually end up on the same quests in Everfall? Is that what he was saying in the first part?
I realize I should grab mining or engineering or something important, but I love fishing 😆
Can you equip 2 of the same kind of weapon at the same time? Like 2 bows? And then that way you can swap between them and use all the bow abilities?
not anymore, worked on release but they deleted that option
so will we be able to pick an archetype for existing characters or will everyone need to make new ones?
do i need to buy the expansion?
Do you still need to buy rise of the angry earth dlc to unlock lvl 65, mount and flale and shield combo ?
none of the links to the videos you said would be in the video or description are there lol now i have to do work and look :(
So whats gonna happen with our main characters? Or do we still get to keep em.
when should I join a faction? is it in everfall? when should I buy the house? also in everfall? I am lvl 17 and still in the lil starter village and kinda overwhelmed. because SIDE QUESTS SO MANY SIDE QUESTS. I dont wanna miss anything important.
I could have swore I watched this video yesterday. Now it says this video is 1 hour old. Reupload?
