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.

💡 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

  1. Never hoard low-demand gear — dismantle or sell immediately.
  2. Watch patch notes — material prices spike after balance changes.
  3. Diversify income streams — don’t rely solely on one gold-making method.
  4. Change servers if your economy is stagnant.
  5. 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.
