Edengrove Seniab Ruins Farm

by

Good Morning Friends! We are closing in on the end now. I have this farm and one for tomorrow… and then we are done. I committed to this process not realizing how many there would be and I have to admit I have gotten a bit tired of this “bit” as I am sure you all have been as well. The end is nigh however so we are going to push through. This is another good farm not too terribly far from the Taedas farm we’ve already talked about, this time focused around another shaman-type Dryad named Cael. This one also has a Void Gauntlet and a Life Staff and I think the jury is out on which are the best set for which purposes. I largely came here because it was a relatively easy bow to farm, and also had another trade skill set item.

To get to this farm we are best off using the spirit shrine that sits smack in the middle of the zone, but it is also a fairly reasonable run from Valor Hold. I would however suggest making a detour and picking up that mid-shrine if you don’t have it. This is a much higher-level farm than most of the others we have been doing, and everything surrounding Seniab is level 60, so adjust accordingly. I would suggest plopping down a tent just outside the area because it is a fairly long run from the shrine if you are trying to recover. If you happen to be there will a full group, at the top of the tower, is a true boss named Baines that is way too hard to be duo’d. If you had four of five people you likely could take him down on the same respawn timer as Cael. Cael however is easily solo’d and if you sneak up the tower you can loot both of the chests behind Baines without aggroing him pending you sneak and watch your approach angles.

I personally find this to be a much easier camp than Taedas, even though the actual level of the mobs inside of it is much higher. There is also more to do if you are willing to do it, in that each doorway to Seniab has a dryad in it, with two warrior-types and two prowler-types. You can get in a rhythm where you kill Cael and the one warrior-type that spawns with it, then go around the room killing the door guardians, and by the time you finish with all of that… Cael is likely to be spawning again soon. Additionally, there are I think four chests in the vicinity without climbing the tower, and even more, if you do choose to climb the tower up to where Baines is. So if you are at the farm for very long it is well worth taking a trip up the tower every hour to get the chests. Let’s dive into the drops:

As I said before this is a really easy camp if you are needing any of the weapons that are dropped and probably the only bow that is very easily solo’d. I’ve been out here several times with friends and the Life Staff seemed the most common, followed by the Void Gauntlet, and lastly, I have only seen a single bow drop. Again with the loot weirdness that happens in New World, it is entirely possible that you will have wildly different luck with what seems to be commonplace for you. Again all of these weapons can be taken up to 625 with Umbral Shards pending you cap out your expertise at 600 for that weapon type. I did not see this boss drop any Obsidium Gypsum, so I am not entirely certain what flags a mob for dropping that. If you need some the easiest way I have found is the Putris camp.

One more of these to go and I will be posting it tomorrow regardless of it being Thanksgiving. I will be EXTREMELY thankful to have this series behind me. Once I have wrapped everything up I will be adding a section to my New World Gametools page with these guides categorized by the weapons that they drop to make things a little easier going forward for someone coming along after this series has finished. I have collected them into a Loot Farms category on my blog. As always if you know any great spots that I have not visited that drop level 590 gear, please drop me a line below.

Everfall Alligator Habitat Farm

by

Good Morning Friends! I hope today is getting started in a reasonable manner. We continue on with the series of New World gear farms that I have spent the last few weeks documenting. This one is a bit of an odd one because technically you will be located within the boundaries of Everfall, but more naturally you are actually on the edge of Ebonscale Reach. On this farm, you will be hanging out near a waterfall and taking down a giant white crocodile over and over. I specifically came out here seeking a good necklace and a strength-based Great Axe, but having a Tanner Shirt drop is also a nice added bonus.

The core problem with this farm is where it is located. You have a few options namely that you can either run through Ebonscale Reach and an area infested with very aggro Alligators, or you can drop down a waterfall coming from the Everfall side. My suggestion and the directions that I have drawn in are to drop down from the Everfall side. You will of course need to understand how to break up your fall into smaller segments to keep from dying in the process as you cannot survive just jumping in from above given that there are no actual swimming mechanics. You will need to slide down the mountain and hit ledges on the way down to break up the momentum of your fall. Once there you can safely hang out next to the waterfall where the Tazorjaw won’t actually aggro you when it spawns in.

The worst part about this camp is that the terrain around the waterfall is a little janky, and it is entirely possible for a loot bag to spawn in half embedded in the ground. If this happens hold still and look for sparkles on the ground, which will indicate where the bag is located. Then in theory you should be able to hover over that patch of ground and loot what just dropped. I tried to kill him backed into the corner of the waterfall as the terrain there seemed to lead to more reasonable drop locations. All in all, this was a pretty quick farm and I got all of the drops in less than two hours. You will of course also get a lot of leather from the gator each time you skin it. Let’s look at the drops.

The big bonus of this camp is the Tanner Shirt, which sells pretty well on the trading post if you get spares. I know in my short farm I think I picked up three of them in total. The most common drop for me was the necklace, and the hardest thing to get dropped was the Greatsword. However, as I have talked about before since the game tends to “get stuck” on a single item your mileage may vary significantly. I have a handful more of these guides that I will be posting over the coming days and have collected them into a Loot Farms category on my blog. As always if you know any great spots that I have not visited that drop level 590 gear, please drop me a line below.

Reekwater Skyview Repose Farm

by

Good Morning Friends! I hope you had a most excellent weekend. I had so many of these farm posts sitting there banked that I almost broke my cardinal rule of no posting on Saturday to churn through them a bit quicker. This morning I am going to talk about an interesting farm down in Reekwater involving an ancient spear wielder called The Surgeon. This game is pretty popular because it is one of the sources of the legendary Ancient Mandible trophy material. As a result, there is likely to be a regular cycle of familiar faces who are out there regularly farming this. For me, it has significance because it drops a really nice piece of jewelry for Strength-based characters. It also drops a handful of other significant items, making it well worth most players’ time.

This camp is located Northwest of the town of Reekwater, and you might notice the path I am suggesting looks a little wonky. The camp is located on the top of a mountain and the natural route winds its way through a few dozen packs of ancients before finally ending up on the artificial plateau where The Surgeon is located. However, if you are good at climbing mechanics in this game, you can instead make your way up the rock face latching onto rocks as you jump up and climb your way to the top without encountering anything. On the plateau itself, you will encounter an archer-type skeleton, a summoner-type skeleton, and then The Surgeon boss. This sequence has really irregular spawn patterns because while it follows the 5-minute spawn rate usually, it does occasionally do this thing where things instantly respawn. If you get in trouble you can hop through the circular window shown in the first screenshot and there is a ledge back there that you can drop down to and reset aggro. This ledge also serves as a safe spot to go AFK, but I would suggest dropping to a prone stance to keep from potentially being seen.

So why do we care about this camp in particular? As I said above this is the only Strength Based Earring that I was able to find that dropped at 590 and was easy to farm solo. It is also a good source of a pure Dexterity-based Greatsword and a pretty reasonable Constitution-based tanking shield. I would have rather than shield have been a Tower-type but beggars can’t be choosers. If I had one regret about this camp it is that the Spear that is named after this particular boss… only drops at item level 500 instead of 590. If you need Obsidian Gypsum it is also a pretty good source for you to get your daily drops while you are farming other items.

The bonus of this camp is that if you happen to get the Ancient Mandible to drop while you are farming other things, then you probably just made an instant windfall of coins. Truth be told you could probably flip it instantly to one of the players who are also standing there trying to farm it, albeit at probably a diminished return. I came out here mostly for the earring because I was trying to get a full set of 590 jewelry, but the shield is pretty solid as well and hard to replace. I have a handful more of these guides that I will be posting over the coming days and have collected them into a Loot Farms category on my blog.

Weaver’s Fen Broadpaw Den Farm

by

Good Morning Friends! We are going to mostly pretend like things are normal and continue with my series of New World loot farm guides. However, I have updated Belgha.st to include all of the extraneous services that I have accounts on… you know for no reason. I realize if you have been following this series that this is going to seem a bit like Deja Vu since we have already farmed a bear named Scratchy before, but apparently in this world bears drop good shit. This time we are headed to Weaver’s Fen up in the Northern part is less swampy and hunting Broadpaw that has a den… but actually just spawns out in the field in front of it.

This farm is located Northeast of the Weavers Fen Town or more conveniently straight west of the spirit shrine in the Northern part of the zone. If you are coming from the town it is probably best to follow the road up and around and through the little undead town and while you are up there… go ahead and pick up the spirit shrine for future use. The top end of the zone has a lot of repeatable faction quests so you may want rapid access to it at some point. The farm itself is simple… wait for the bear to spawn, kill it and then wait another five minutes for it to spawn again. While you are waiting around however there are two areas with Iron nodes, one Gold node in the den, four or five honey trees, various assorted plants, and a wolf that paths through the area. You will walk away with quite a bit of thick hide doing this farm if you are out here by yourself.

Why do we care about this camp in particular? Well, it is probably the only easy musket you can get that is 590 as well as a pretty solid option for Hammer and Greatsword. Though I admit I came here exclusively to find a musket I did not have to go to Myrkgard or Eternal Pools to farm. I think I was out here a grand total of three hours and in that time I got four greatswords, two hammers, a plethora of the item level 435 hammer, three weaver’s shirts, and a single musket. One of the things that I did find surprising is I never saw the 435 Great Axe that supposedly can drop here, but since I only cared about 590 weapons I did not worry too much about it. Let’s dive into the drop table further:

Really like I said before this is a camp that you are going to farm if you want a Musket because there are better Greatswords and Hammers available elsewhere. It is however a very easy camp albeit a bit boring. I have a handful more of these guides that I will be posting over the coming days and have collected them into a Loot Farms category on my blog.
