How to Achieve a 700 Gear Score in New World: Aeternum
Step 1: Daily Mutated Expeditions
Your first order of business is to engage in the daily Mutated Expeditions. You can complete a total of 35 expeditions each week, and this is the most efficient way to collect the materials you need to craft gear at a gear score of 700. By participating in these expeditions, you will also gather valuable loot.
Current Expeditions: This week, the expeditions available are Barnacles and Black Powder and Savage Divide, so make sure you prioritize these. Completing all 35 expeditions will enable you to purchase at least two pieces of gear, and possibly more if you're able to gather enough gold or other rewards.
Tips for Completing Expeditions:
1. Team Up: Joining a reliable team can dramatically increase your success rate during these expeditions.
2. Learn the Mechanics: Familiarize yourself with the enemy mechanics present in each expedition to maximize your performance.
3. Consistency is Key: Consider doing four or five expeditions a day to meet the weekly requirement without overwhelming yourself.
Step 2: Access the Gypsum Kiln
Now that you have accrued materials from your Mutated Expeditions, it’s time to head over to the Gypsum Kiln. This is where you’ll craft your gear.
Crafting Gear:
1. Navigate to Gear Sets: Scroll down in the kiln to find the gear sets, specifically looking for AOF Crystal gear.
2. Select Your Pieces: You’ll find various options, including shirts, gloves, boots, masks, and pants all rated at a gear score of 700.
Required Materials:
To craft your gear, you will need Dense Materials, which you can find during Mutated Expeditions, particularly while tackling the Rise of the Angry Earth missions. Plan your expeditions accordingly to gather the required materials.
Step 3: Crafting the Gear
Once you have gathered enough Dense Materials (for example, 3,500 for gear such as the AOF Light Crystal Pants), you can start crafting.
1. Click on the desired gear piece you want to craft.
2. Ensure that you gather Enchanting Ward and Refreshing perks during crafting for maximum effectiveness.
3. If you're focused on healing, consider crafting pieces with specific perks that will aid in your healing abilities.
Step 4: Enhancing Your Gear
After you have crafted your gear, you may want to fine-tune it further. If you happen to have any other gear pieces or materials in your inventory that you want to improve, you’ll want to equip them correctly for them to appear in the crafting menu.
Adding Perks:
· Ensure the piece is in your inventory, not equipped. You cannot modify gear that is currently equipped.
· Use Armor Matrix items to add desired perks to your gear. Remember, these components can be a bit pricey, so use them wisely.
Legendary Gear: If you find or disable legendary gear sets, you can also find Dark Matter or Chromatic Seals, which can enhance your gear further.
Step 5: Repeating the Process
Once you’ve crafted your first items, continue this process weekly. Engage in more Mutated Expeditions to keep collecting Dense Materials and always look for opportunities to improve your gear.
Monitor Drops:
Occasionally, you may find an AOF drop during your expeditions, which can save time and materials. Stay alert for those moments!
Final Thoughts
Achieving a gear score of 700 in New World doesn’t have to be a daunting task. By focusing on daily Mutated Expeditions and utilizing the Gypsum Kiln effectively, you can build a solid foundation for gearing up. If you find yourself short on resources, you might consider options to buy New World Gold, which could expedite your progress—MMOEXP is a great place to explore for this. Remember, while it may take some grinding, the process will also help you enhance your combat skills, especially if you’re focused on healing. Thank you for tuning into this guide! Happy adventuring in Aeternum!
