new world leveling guide

If you're looking for an efficient New World leveling guide, heres a breakdown of the fastest ways to reach Level 65 in New World (updated for 2024): 1-25: Early Game (Questing & Exploration) Main Story Quests (MSQ) Prioritize these, as they give huge XP and unlock key features (e.g., Faction, Housing, Dungeons). Side Quests Do them while in the same area as MSQ to avoid backtracking. Town Board Quests Grab easy ones (e.g., "Gather 10 Wood") while passing through towns. Faction Missions Start at Level 10, pick up PvE missions while questing. Gathering & Crafting Harvesting resources (logging, mining, skinning) gives decent XP early on. 25-45: Mid-Game (Efficient Grinding) Continue MSQ & Side Quests Still the best XP source. Corrupted Breaches (Level 25+) Fast XP in groups, especially in Shattered Mountain. Dungeons (Expeditions) Run Amrine (25+), Starstone (35+), and Depths (45+) for big XP chunks. Town Boards (Spam Crafting/Gathering) If you have gold/mats, turn in bulk quests (e.g., "Craft 10 Iron Ingots"). Weapon Mastery Grinding Kill mobs 5-10 levels above you for bonus XP (e.g., Deadmans Cove at 30+). 45-60: Late-Game Push Shattered Mountain & Great Cleave Quests High-XP quests here. Elite Zones (Myrkgard, Sirens Stand) Farm elite mobs in groups (good for loot too). Dynasty Shipyard (Level 55+) Repeatable quests here give solid XP. PvP Faction Missions If you enjoy PvP, these can be decent XP in contested zones. Corrupted Portals (Level 50+) High-tier portals in groups give great XP. 60-65: Endgame (Brimstone Sands & Fast Methods) Brimstone Sands MSQ Massive XP rewards, complete all quests here. Elysian Wilds (New Zone) If available, quests here give strong XP. Mutated Expeditions (M10s) Best XP/hour if you have a good group. Elite Chest Runs (Myrkgard, Castrum, etc.) Decent XP + loot. Gypsum Grinding Turn in Gypsum for XP bumps (Opr, Arenas, etc.). Pro Leveling Tips Always be moving Optimize routes to avoid backtracking. XP Buffs Use +XP food (e.g., Roasted Potatoes) and Company XP buffs. Rested XP Log out in towns to accumulate bonus XP. Skip weak side quests Focus on high-XP tasks. Group up Faster kills = faster XP in elite zones.
