There are many crafting recipes and items in New World. Amazon’s new MMO is in a bit of a tough spot too, thanks to the ongoing issues with bugs and other problems. The game has been slowly adding new content to try and lure players back. The revamps of the PvP and PvE game modes that are needed have seen a meta-game starting to develop. Players rely a lot on temporary boosts, like those offered by Honing Stones in New World.
To make the most out of your harvesting runs, make sure to take time to increase your weight capacity beforehand. This is a huge help to carrying more loot, and is well worth the investment in gold and time. Having better bags in this MMO is very important. And since you’re going to need a bunch of Earth Motes and other motes, you can make use of them.
