Last update: 08 November 2021

Crafting in New World is one of its main attractions. Players can choose from 7 crafting professions - forging weapons, armor or cooking. Crafting new items unlocks access to better weapons and armor, more effective tools for collecting resources, or new potions and food. On this page of the guide, we describe all aspects of crafting. You will learn all crafting professions and find out how to improve crafting skills. We have also described Gear Score and Gem Socket.

Crafting professions

New World has 7 crafting professions - New World: Crafting - Basics - New World Guide

New World has 7 crafting professions. Each of them allows you to create different items. You will have to use different crafting stations.

  1. Weaponsmithing - allows you to create melee weapons. Crafting station: Forge.
  2. Armoring - create armor and bags that increase the load capacity. Crafting stations: Forge, Outfitting Station.
  3. Engineering - create bows, muskets and ammunition. Crafting stations: Forge, Workshop.
  4. Jewelcrafting - create jewelry and gems to upgrade weapons. Crafting station: Outfitting Station.
  5. Arcana - Crafting station: Arcane Repository.
  6. Cooking - Crafting station: Kitchen.
  7. Furnishing - Crafting station: Workshop.

Of course, using only the above crafting stations is not enough to produce new items. You will also have to use objects for processing raw materials, for example, to melt iron bars or prepare animal skins. All these objects are available in any settlement.

Crafting materials can be obtained during exploration - New World: Crafting - Basics - New World Guide

Crafting materials can be obtained during exploration. For example, use a pickaxe to get iron, get skins from hunted animals, and wood from cut trees. You can also buy resources from other players. This is done in trading posts, that is, special places in settlements for selling and buying items.

Improving crafting skills

The way of improving crafting is the same as for all other skills in New World - New World: Crafting - Basics - New World Guide

The way of improving crafting is the same as for all other skills in New World. The next levels of the crafting profession are achieved by using them. If you want to develop Weaponsmithing, then you have to produce weapons in the forge. To develop Cooking, you will have to prepare meals in the kitchen. The better quality of the item produced, the more points you get in the profession.

Gear Score

The above-mentioned quality of the item is affected by Gear Score - New World: Crafting - Basics - New World Guide

The above-mentioned quality of the item is affected by Gear Score. For example - armor made of iron will have a lower Gear Score than armor made of silver because iron is a more easily accessible material. Gear Score is also affected by the item's profits and the availability of Gem Sockets. To simply put, equipment with a higher Gear Score is better, but this should not be a determinant of the choice of the object, but only a suggestion. It may happen that a weapon with a lower Gear Score will be a better choice, because, for example, it has bonuses useful for a given character build. However, it should be added that a higher Gear Score means better bonuses offered by that item.

Profits and Gem Sockets

In addition to basic stats like damage or defense values, items can also have additional bonuses - New World: Crafting - Basics - New World Guide

In addition to basic stats like damage or defense values, items can also have additional bonuses. The so-called item perks provide various bonuses - increasing character attributes, increasing damage dealt to specific types of opponents, or improving a specific weapon mastery. In addition, the item may also have Gem Sockets. Gems work similarly to bonuses - you can make them by using the Jewelcrafting skill.

When creating a new item, you have a small chance of making a bonus and a socket, but this chance can be increased by using Azoth during crafting - New World: Crafting - Basics - New World Guide

When creating a new item, you have a small chance of making a bonus and a socket, but this chance can be increased by using Azoth during crafting. It is worth noting that the bonuses in the crafted items are random. However, you have no way of using special resources acquired in the game world.
