Whenever players are mining a resource node in weapon in New World will convert some of the weapon's attack power to fire damage.
The probability of getting gemstone drops will largely depend on a player's skill level and luck. To find and farm these precious minerals in New World, players will need to rely heavily on their Mining Luck, a bonus that can increase due to several factors. Continue reading to learn how to find more gems in New World and how they work.
To find more gems from mining in New World, players will need to focus on leveling their Mining skill. Naturally, the faster a player is able to farm mining nodes, the quicker they can obtain more gemstones. Mining higher-tier resource nodes will result in higher-tier gem drops, so players should level up their Mining skill as soon as possible to mine high-tier ore veins. Players should also place points into their Strength attribute to gain bonuses for mining, such as the 10% increase in mining speed at 50 points. Additionally, players should level their Stonecutting skill, as they will be using the Stonecutter to refine their raw gemstones. Only cut gems can be added to gear socket slots.
How to Farm Gems Efficiently in New World
One of the most significant ive perks that players will need when mining for gems is Mining Luck. This bonus can randomly appear on dropped gear, or players can craft an item with this perk. To increase the power of Mining Luck on a crafted item, players can use Azoth, New World's special resource that boosts the potency of possible gear bonuses.
Another way to raise Mining Luck is by eating certain foods, such as Herb-Roasted Potatoes. This meal is relatively simple to cook and will increase a character's luck while Mining by 1,400 points for 25 minutes. Stacking these luck bonuses with a high-level Mining skill and Strength perks will almost certainly guarantee a decent haul of gems during a Mining expedition.
After obtaining gems in New World, players must take them to a Stonecutter and refine them. Each type of gem will grant various properties, depending on whether the player wants to use the jewel for their weapon or armor. Players should keep in mind that a gemstone cannot be removed after it's been placed within a socket. However, players can replace it with a separate gem to receive a different bonus.
New World players should make sure to equip cut gemstones that match their desired build. For instance, players roleplaying as tanks in New World may want to add a Cut Carnelian, which generates more threat, to one of their armor pieces. Conversely, ranged-attack players who are trying to keep enemies away from them while fighting in a group should place the Carnelian in their weapon socket instead, as here, it reduces threat. For best results, players should always choose the proper gems that match their favored playstyle and build.
New World is available on PC.
