Ebonscale Reach Earth Shrine Farm

Good Morning Folks and Happy Thanksgiving! This year I am thankful that this is the very last post in this New World Gear Farms series. Normally I would take this holiday weekend off from making posts, but I wanted to finish this up and not have it extend into the third week of this nonsense where I post nothing but loot guides. We are going out on a bang though because this is maybe the best of the loot camps I have shared with you just in the sheer amount of possible drops. Today we are going to focus on Kilgoran one of the corrupted Imperial Dynasty folks that spawns at the Earth Shrine in Ebonscale Reach. This single mob features six notable 590 gear drops and is actually shockingly easy to take down pending you put a little thought into “breaking the camp” the first time.

This camp is also conveniently located due East of the main town in Ebonscale Reach. You visit this area for a series of quests that take you around to all of the elemental shrines, so it is highly likely that you have already been here before. There are a few options as to how you can attack getting to Kilgoran, you can of course work your way through the entire complex but this will involve fighting a significant number of corrupted mobs. The better option is to run in from the side along the water and jump up onto a floating platform just ahead of the stone area surrounding the boss. While doing the camp you will need to deal with a sword/shield corrupted, a bow corrupted, and two of the corrupted crawlers in addition to the boss himself. If you can time the kills just right you can get this camp into a pattern where you are killing something every few minutes rather than having to deal with everything all at once.

One would think a camp that has six different drops would mean I was here for longer than pretty much any other camp. That would not be the case and weirdly I managed to get everything in about three hours. I had very little in the way of drop duplication so that makes me think that all of these items have effectively the same drop chance. As always loot and randomization are weird so your mileage may vary significantly. I think for a lot of folks the Sword and the caster Neck will be the reason why they come out here as both are not available for any other camps. The other quirk of this camp is that there are two different shields that drop, one of which is Strength-based so it would be excellent for a DPS sword build as opposed to a tank build. Let’s dive into the loot table:

There is a very rare chance of getting Legendary Crafting Materials from this camp but sadly no Obsidian Gypsum chance. This is a really easy farm though to knock out a number of 590 weapons if you were like me and trying to get one for every possible slot. Essentially that is how this entire adventure started, is that as I was leveling more weapons to rank 20, I decided I wanted some of these tasty named items rather than random trash that happened to drop. I did not necessarily intend this to become a multi-week-long calling however or a central focus of my blog.

At this point, I am going to talk about something other than gear farming for a while because like me you are all probably a bit sick of this. That said one of the next things I am going to do is work up a per gear slot guide of a sort and add it to my Game Tools page for New World. 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. I am not opposed to doing more of this nonsense, but I want to have a bit of a break before I start talking about it again.
