New world is Amazon’s brand new MMO which takes place in Aeternum, an island filled with supernatural dark powers. The game is an Open World MMO and similar to other exemplary MMOs the world is vast and completely within the player’s reach.

However, leveling up in New World isn’t too tough. This guide will show you everything you need to know on how to level up fast in New World and get that fast edge among everyone else on your server. There are a number of methods to take advantage of, with some being better than others. 

Defeat Monsters 

When you go from objective to objective around the area, you will definitely encounter monsters along the way. Even if they are not a part of your objectives, you can still deal with them really quickly.

If you see other players fighting monsters on your path, just try to hit them once or twice and you will gain XP and weapon mastery from it — you don’t need to wipe them out on your own. Hit and run is a great tactic for leveling up fast in New World.

This method is just to add a little more experience points to all the walking you are doing whilst questing.

Complete Town Projects

Every settlement has Town Projects that you can complete for rewards. This usually includes a tiny amount of gold, a good chunk of experience, and a large amount of region standing too.

Make sure to take advantage of stockpiling basic resources in settlement storage for when you need them. Town Projects commonly ask for Water, Green Wood, Rawhides, Stone Blocks, and potions. A useful tip is that storage is shared between faction-owned regions.

Gathering Skills

Gathering gives you additional experience points as well as skill points for the respective gathering skill you used. If you are exploring and doing missions and quests, you can also start gathering resources around the area. 

You will be able to see the terrains that contain the resources you need. Match the color of these terrains on the map and check if you need anything there. If not, just gather anything along the way. Obviously, if you see normal trees and boulders, you can omit those if you do not need them anymore.

It is the main way to get your gathering skills up to get more high-level resources. Learning how to level your gathering skills is a hard grind and it will take you a lot of hours in doing so.

You might as well cut that time short by gathering uncommon resource nodes as you finish missions. You will get a lot of New World coins by doing this and even craft gear upgrades for your character to strengthen your gear score.
