New World Items to Farm as a Solo Player
In this guide we will be covering "named items" that you can effectively solo-farm in the open-world.
Intro
In this guide we will be covering "named items" that you can effectively solo-farm in the open-world. Most Named Items drop at 590 Gear Score and can be upgraded to 600 Gear Score and beyond with umbral shards, which also upgrades the item from Epic to Legendary and unlocks its third perk.
We also have a video guide for those of you who prefer that format.
Whilst most of the items listed in this guide will not be BiS (Best in Slot), they're all generally worth farming for a player who has recently hit level 60 and is looking to improve their Gear Score and gear in general, before they step into the various expeditions available in New World's end game.
Along with the items listed in this guide, it's encouraged that you also go and complete as many main-story and side quests in the Piaskobrzegi region as you can, as the rewards given range from Gipsowa kula, Wyczerpany odłamek umbralu, and 600 to 615 Gear Score Legendary Weapons! Full List of rewards here.
Note: This guide will not list items such as Mroczna Zemsta, as although items like this are really powerful, they are not in a particular loot pool of any 1 enemy, and thus really hard to target farm for.
All items listed in this guide should be obtainable within a few attempts of killing each enemy, unless you are very unlucky!
Weapons
Sword
Determinacja strażnika is a great starting Sword for Corrupted Expeditions and drops from Rafik z Biszary.
Pogromca Pana Głębin has more survivability in its perks and drops from Pan głębin Daehi.
Shield
Tytaniczna ściana has a great set of perks for starting tanks and drops from Tytaniczny Saturninus
Szala Maat works best when paired with a sword that does not have Ostrość or Staranne nasączenie mocą (allows you to maximize all perk slots, they do not stack) and drops from Sędzia Czystości.
Rapier
Ość Ohydnika has a great set of perks for most Rapier builds and drops from Ohydnik.
Hatchet
Rębak is a good hatchet to then bring into Ogród Genezy and continue your endgame journey, and drops from all mobs in the Szron Oświecenia location.
Greatsword
Nóż boga works well for Corrupted expeditions and drops from Trybunka Ursula, gladiatorka.
Osąd Jowisza is a well-rounded Greatsword and drops from Khelone Khelydorea.
War Hammer
Rozrywająca fala uderzeniowa is a must-have perk for a Warhammer, but sadly, all open-world bosses that drop these hammers have 300,000+ HP. Yul'kithir is solo-obtainable in that in only requires Level 200 Weaponsmithing, but for drops you could look at Kruszyciel murów to bring into Użyteczność Łazarza. It drops from Kolos z Karnaku.
Great Axe
Topór Prymusa starts with Zniechęcające ciosy, a strong perk for 300 Strength Melee users, and drops from Prymus Galba.
Spear
Sadly there are no good spears that drop off of easy to kill enemies reliably, other than Klucz Chnuma. This is not a bad spear for Użyteczność Łazarza, and drops from Obrońca Chnuma.
Fire Staff
Falera is beginner's Firestaff as its perks aren't great, but you can easily farm it from Skażony arbiter Luca.
Ice Gauntlet
Dar Zimy starts with great perks, Ostrość and Okrutność, and also upgrades to get Odświeżający ruch, making it a great Ice Gauntlet for endgame. It drops for Dau-Shen Niepowstrzymany.
Void Gauntlet
Skażona Ofiara is the only reliable drop you can farm for in the Healing Void Gauntlet category (has Błogosławieństwo) and drops from Dau-Shen Niepowstrzymany.
Otchłań Entropii is a strong DPS Void Gauntlet for use in Corrupted Expeditions and drops off of Pan głębin Daehi.
Life Staff
Przypływ księżyca has Błogosławieństwo and Odświeżające boskie objęcia, a good starting option if you're running single target heals. It drops from Anargirou z Duatu.
Blunderbuss
Siarkowy ryk has a decent set of perks and is one of a small amount of Blunderbusses that drop more consistently from open world mobs. It drops from Betaikha Spalona.
Bow
Odpowiedź Strażnika is a great pick-up bow for fresh level 60s to use, and drops from Naczelnik Satet.
Musket
Miotacz z żelazokory is a strong musket that will last quite far into the endgame, and drops from Łapserdak (and from Zgrzytacz, but has much higher HP).
Armor
For armor drops, we will be recommending drops using the following conventions:
- Heavy Equip Load = Every slot is heavy
- Medium Load = Heavy Helm and Chest, Medium Gloves and Boots, Light Legs
- Light Load = Medium Chest, Light Helm, Gloves, Boots and Legs
As a result, no recommendations will be made for Medium Helm or Medium Legs.
Helmets
Heavy
Korona Sobeka is a strong option for Medium DPS and Heavy Tanks in Ogród Genezy, and drops from Lord Sobek.
Korona castrum Koziego Króla is a strong option for Medium DPS and Heavy Tanks in Użyteczność Łazarza, and drops from Kozi Król Szczecinka.
Light
The only reliable drop in this category you can farm is Kaptur kleryka, which is a decent helmet for Healers, but does feature the PVP perk Nieustępliwość. It drops from Luxendra Mądra (Xyo's note: the monster, not the lovely Community Manager. I suggest not messing around with her).
Chests
Heavy
Kolosalny napierśnik burzy gets Ochrona przed pradawnymi when upgraded, and is not a bad starting tank chest for a fresh level 60. It drops from Kolos z Qebui.
Medium
Owijki laguna królewskiego is a good starting drop for Light Equip Load Dexterity users, though the perks are PVP orientated. It drops from Lord Sobek.
Light
There are no good/solo-farmable named Light chests currently in game.
Gloves
Heavy
Pamiątka kowala gives is a good Heavy tank item for Corrupted Expeditions but do not upgrade it past 590 Gear Score (the Niezniszczalność perk is quite bad). It drops from Prymus Galba.
Medium
Rękawice włócznika have Ochrona przed pradawnymi and work for a Medium Equip load dexterity build, and drop from Obrońca Chnuma.
Light
Radosne rękawiczki are great gloves for healers fresh to Level 60, and drop from Ophois Radosny.
Legs
Heavy
Dociążone nagolenice are a strong pick-up for tanks wanting to run Użyteczność Łazarza, and drop from Kolos z Qebui.
Light
Skupienie Dalao are great legs for fresh level 60 healers as they have Umacniająca święta ziemia on them, a must-have perk. They drop from Dalao z Harwy.
Pospolite spodnie are great for any light or medium equip load build as they have constitution on them, the only downside being that if you upgrade them to 600 Gear Score, they get Nieustępliwość, a perk only useful (albeit VERY useful) in PVP. They drop from Heka z Rozdroży.
Boots
Heavy
Ciężkie brzemię are the only solo-farm friendly heavy boots you can get, but contain the PVP perk, Nieustępliwość, so will need to be replaced when an upgrade presents itself. They drop from Khelone Khelydorea.
Medium
There are no good/solo-farmable named Medium boots currently in game.
Light
There are no good/solo-farmable named Light Boots currently in game.
Jewelry
Amulets
Błogosławieństwo Maat works well for Healers but requires an upgrade to 600 Gear Score to get the must have Zdrowie Perk. It drops from Sędzia Czystości.
For Dexterity users, Naszyjnik requiem is a reasonable starting amulet - it does have 9 focus on it so you'll need to replace later on, but the perks are strong. It drops from Tzi-Wang Niewzruszony.
Intelligence users have the same option with Skarb Głębin. The perks are strong but it does provide 9 Strength and so will need to be replaced later. It drops from Pan głębin Daehi.
Rings
Serce Dalao is a great ring to pick-up for those using more than 150 Dexterity or a Medium Equip load build (as Pokrzepienie is not present untill 600 Gear Score). It drops from Dalao z Harwy.
Serce Hepu is a great ring for most builds as it has Pokrzepienie and Constitution. The addition of Slash Damage makes it particularly powerful for Great Axe, Greatsword, Hatchet and S&S users though. It drops from Miłościwy Hepu.
Pierścień Baala is an alternative to Heart of Hepu that has Fire Damage instead of Slash Damage, so it is good for Firestaff users. It requires you to have the Niech mnie kule biją quest active in order to spawn the mob it drops from, Armatni Ronaldo. This quest chain starts with Postępujące zagrożenie.
Earrings
Talizman ślubowanego gwiazdom is a good pick-up for Strength users but do not upgrade it to 600 Gear Score, since the Toast many perk will not benefit you. It drops from Adjorjan.
Wezwana przez dwie krainy is a similar earring but for Dexterity users, and has a better 600 Gear Score upgrade. It drops from Arcykapłan Bliźniaczych Wrót.
Rytualna błyskotka tarota is an "okay" earring for mages to start with, but you will want to replace it with a better drop as you advance through the endgame. It drops from Kilgoran.
