South Central Ruins Chest Farm

by

Good Morning Folks! I have to be perfectly honest… I thought I was done documenting camps. Yesterday I crafted my final level of flame altar and was going to spend the evening poking around the previously deadly shroud areas. However, before sitting down to do this, I saw this video over on YouTube reporting to have the “fastest legendary farm ever”. I am a sucker for this nonsense and given that I documented two other really good farms, I thought I would at least check this one out. Turns out that this is maybe the single best farming spot I have experienced.

The video title was not hyperbole in the least. The farm originally comes from this video by 04AM, but since Glitchiz is the video I first saw and it covers ONLY this one farm I figured that would be the one that I embed. I am uncertain what level of shroud you need to have, but you likely need to have at least found the Kindlewastes spire and have the ability updraft to make it straight forward. During the video, he covers the entire setup of the farm and some tips, like things I did not even think about such as using a grappling point to make getting to the chest a bit faster. I’m legitimately hoping that this is going to be the last time I feel compelled to document one of these chest farms, but in truth pending you want max-level gear, this is the only one you are going to need.

Essentially you are going to fly West South West of the Kindlewastes Ancient Spire, which I have highlighted on my map to show in reference where the spot is. The red bag icon marks where the location of the chest actually is. The only gotchas with this camp is that it isn’t necessarily entirely safe. There are the “giant pterodactyl bird” things roaming around this area, and on very rare occasions one will get close enough to this area to aggro. So either you need to build yourself a safe “hidey hole” that you can duck into around the flame altar, or you need to be able to safely kill one of these. You can see in the first screenshot of this post, that the chest will be sticking half out of the sand by a dead tree on the edge of a set of desert ruins that have no spawns in them.

The above screenshot of my chest represents an hour of farming at this location. I did not keep anything below legendary quality and skipped over most of the duplicates. Additionally, I ignored all of the set gear because I already had two full sets of everything. In truth had I kept everything it would have easily filled up two of the max-size chests, and I got more than a full set of each of the types of armor. What was interesting about this location is that the legendary drop rate chance was so much higher than either of the two camps that I had spent time farming. More than that I saw a lot of items that I only ever saw in epic rarity from the other camps. I am pretty sure this chest is capable of dropping every single legendary weapon in the game. At none of the camps have I seen any legendary shields or rings, and the only thing of the sort I have seen is a magical shield bracelet thingy from the first camp.

What was awesome though is that the camp allowed me to pretty much swap out all of the gear that I was using for an upgrade. The White Wolf Sword has a very bright blue glow, but more important than that is all of the +Shroud Damage it is capable of doing. Similarly, the Ritual Tempest Wand is awesome for all of the +Shock Damage it can deal. Then we have Wolf’s Snarl Longbow, which I had only ever seen a purple version of… and has the highest damage of any bow I have seen in the game so far. That said there were so many drops that you could pretty much find a weapon to suit whatever playstyle you are going for at this one camp. The Iron Cave is still probably easier to get to early on, but after seeing the output of this camp I would completely skip the Cliffside camp that I talked about yesterday.

I have some thoughts about where I would love to see Enshrouded go as a game, but I will probably save those for another day. I hope to try out grouping with some friends over the weekend where I will very likely start a brand new character. I legitimately hope this is the last one of these camps that I feel like I need to document, as spinning the loot table over and over is getting a bit boring.

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.

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. As always if you know any great spots that I have not visited that drop level 590 gear, please drop me a line below.

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. As always if you know any great spots that I have not visited that drop level 590 gear, please drop me a line below.
