New World Gold Farming Guide 2025
In Aeternum, gold is more than a shiny number in your UI — it’s the grease that keeps every gear turning. From repairing your gear to purchasing BIS (Best in Slot) items, funding your company’s territory upgrades, or crafting high-tier equipment, gold determines how smooth your endgame journey feels.

The key to thriving in New World’s economy is adaptability — knowing when to gather, when to craft, and when to play the market.

Easy Tier – Low Effort, Steady Income
1. Questing
- Complete all Main Story, Side Quests, and Town Board Projects in each territory.
- Benefits: Gold + XP + Territory Standing + gear.
- Tip: Stack town project missions with faction quests to maximize gold per route.
💡 Pro Tip: Save your Azoth for long-distance quest chains; fast-travel time saved = more gold/hour.
2. Gathering Resources for High-Demand Items
Low-tier resources often outperform rare materials because of constant crafting demand.
Resource | Demand Reason | Hotspot Example |
---|---|---|
Iron Ore | Entry-level crafting, steel base | Monarch’s Bluffs, Everfall |
Hemp/Fiber | Linen → Cloth Armor | Windsward |
Herbs | Cooking buffs, dyes | Everfall, Brightwood |
Oil | Weapon coatings, crafts | Cutlass Keys |
💡 Market Trick: Check Trading Post trends daily — sometimes green wood sells higher than starmetal because of crafting rushes.
Medium Tier – Requires Planning & Market Awareness
3. Crafting Consumables & Market Staples
Cooking, Arcana, and Furnishing can create repeat-purchase products (potions, food buffs, dyes).
- Start with cheap raw mats → sell high-demand consumables in bulk.
- Focus on food buffs for PvP and luck potions for gatherers.
4. Trading Post Flipping
Buy undervalued items → resell at a profit.
- Works best with rare drops, refining mats, and high-demand gear.
- Use Buy Orders in low-population towns to get cheap stock.
- Sell in major hubs (Everfall/Windsward) where demand spikes.
💡 Weekend Rule: Sell high-value gear on Saturday night when more players are online; buy raw mats on Monday when prices dip.
5. Outpost Rush PvP
- Earn 200–300 gold per match + faction tokens + gypsum.
- Stack PvP rewards with marketable gear drops.
- Great for PvP mains, not as profitable for pure PvE players.
Hard Tier – High Reward, High Prep
6. Elite Boss Farming
- Target endgame elite zones for legendary gear & named item drops.
- Recommended Spots:
- Myrkgard (Shattered Mountain) – High GS weapon/armor drops.
- Malevolence (Edengrove) – Farming group hotspot.
- Imperial Palace (Ebonscale Reach) – PvE + PvP hotspot.
- Myrkgard (Shattered Mountain) – High GS weapon/armor drops.
💡 Bring a luck set for increased drop chances.
7. Endgame Crafting (GS 600)
- Requires 200 skill in Armoring / Weaponsmithing / Jewelcrafting.
- Needs Major Crafting Trophies, Timeless Shards, and Tier V Mats (e.g., Asmodeum).
- Each sale can yield 50k–500k gold depending on rarity & stats.
8. Trophy Component Farming
- Farm Reekwater & Weaver’s Fen for high-value trophy parts (Corrupted Totem, Loaded Dice).
- Make loop routes to hit all chests on cooldown.
- Combine with gathering runs to double profit.
💡 Extra Tips for Gold Optimization
- Never hoard low-demand gear — dismantle or sell immediately.
- Watch patch notes — material prices spike after balance changes.
- Diversify income streams — don’t rely solely on one gold-making method.
- Change servers if your economy is stagnant.
- Reinvest profits into scalable methods (flipping, crafting) instead of vanity items early on.
💡 Final Thoughts
New World’s economy is player-driven — meaning knowledge = profit. Whether you want slow but steady gains through gathering or big jackpot sales from endgame crafting, the most successful players adapt to market shifts and player demand.
