News Tag: New World Aeternum Season 10

New World Aeternum Season 10 Nighthaven is the season for vampires and werewolves, and the changes to equipment this season are enough to allow you to continuously steal the life of your opponents in combat, making you the vampire on the battlefield.

The following introduces a Light Armor Bow & Rapier build centered around Bow and Rapier, focusing on Lightning damage and lifesteal. Although this build's defense is not high, its powerful lifesteal can keep you alive on the PvP battlefield.

Attribute

• Strength (50): Invest for the first two Strength Attribute Milestones - Light Attack Damage Increase and Heavy Attack Damage Increase. 100 Strength is not needed because the physical damage of the third milestone is useless because all damage is converted to Lightning.
• Dexterity (500): Dexterity is the main attribute required for bows and rapiers, which can significantly increase the damage of both.
• Intelligence (25): Achieves the first milestone buff, granting 3% backstab and random damage, equivalent to the Vicious perk.
• Constitution (25 and above): To achieve the first milestone buff, it increases the effect of life consumables.

Gear And Perks

Although Bow & Rapier Lifesteal build does not require a specific set, the perks requirements are very strict. However, as long as you have some New World coins, you can trade perks with other players, so the equipment requirements are very low.

You must at least meet the following Perks requirements:

• Lifestealing & Anointed Lifesteal: Stack 5 times each, which is the main means of survival for this build.
• Vigor: Stack 5 times to prevent being burned to death by continuous damage effects, avoiding the embarrassment of having to show your head to attack to recover health.

Helmet (Medium Helmet)

Sighted Any Ward: Increases ranged damage and improves damage absorption of certain types.

• Lifestealer's Draught II: Grants 15% life steal for 13 seconds without using potions (at least this is required).
• Arcane Conditioning II: Absorbs Arcane damage.

You might also consider Old Crown, which provides bonuses to all attributes and decent defensive perks, but only has one gem slot, which may clutter your stats.

Chest

• Vital Synergy II: When below 50% health, gain 15% increased stamina regeneration rate. When below 50% stamina, increase healing received by 15%.
• Sturdy Energy II: When blocking an attack while below 30% stamina, gain 25% stamina regeneration for 5 seconds.

These two work together, so the lower your stamina is, the faster it regenerates. This PvP build relies heavily on constant attacks, which consume a large amount of stamina.

Gloves

• Sacrificial Empowerment II: Increases base damage, but reduces armor by 1% when health drops below 50%. This light armor build doesn't have much armor to begin with, so a small reduction won't have a significant impact.
• Mortal Aggression II: Gain bonus lifesteal and health on kills.

Attuned Leather Pants

In addition to providing +9 to all stats, Attuned Leather Pants also have Shirking Energy II fixed perk, which restores stamina through successful dodges, making it crucial for light armor. The remaining two gem slots can be used for the following perks:

• Anointed Lifesteal II: Increases the healing effect of lifesteal by 5.5%.
• Lifestealing II: Heals 5.5% of the damage you deal.

Boots

• Sacrificial Empowerment II: Increases base damage.
• Prolonged Favor II: Extends the duration of the buff.

Exemplary Amulet

• Stamina Recovery: Recovers stamina when hit when below half health.
• Vigor: Reduces the duration of DoT damage.
• Penetrating Rapid Shot: Increases the armor bonus of weapons (especially bows). Since Boltcaster cannot carry weapon skill perks, this is placed on the necklace.
• Slash Ward: Provides resistance to slashing damage, the primary type of physical damage in the game.

Exemplary Ring

• Cursed Enchantment: Increases base attack damage and reduces skill damage (useful for bows).
• Unscathed Empowerment: Increases damage when not hit (mostly with bows).
• Enchanted: Increases light and heavy attack damage.
• Lifestealing II: Stacks and increases lifesteal.

You can also use Spectral Wrath Ring, which provides 20% life steal when below 70% health, but you may have to forgo Cursed Enchantment.

Exemplary Earring

• Refreshing Recovery: Resets all skill cooldowns when health drops below 50%.
• Slash Ward: Reduces the damage of slashing attacks.
• Vigor: Reduces the duration of DoT damage.
• Lightning Harnessing II: Increases lightning damage.

Weapons And Skills

Bow - Boltcaster

Boltcaster's Electrified perk converts weapon damage to lightning damage and increases basic attack lightning damage by 20%, making it the core damage of this build. However, it only has one offensive slot, so the following perks are recommended:

Keenly Jagged: Extends bleed/debuff duration.

Lightning Harnessing II: Increases lightning damage.

Bow Skills

Evade Shot: Provides movement, knockback (Stagger), and haste, offering exceptional versatility.

• Rain of Arrows: Unlockable area damage. Combined with life steal, it can simultaneously heal multiple targets. Its single-target and group damage surpasses that of Penetrating Shot.
• Rapid Shot: High single-target damage, particularly effective in PvE.

Rapier

• Sundering Riposte: Counterattacks with a rip, reducing the target's armor for 10 seconds.
• Leeching Flurry: Heals for 41% of the damage dealt by Flurry. Gain 0.5 seconds of invincibility when using Flurry.
• Runeglass Gem: Electrified Opportunist, Distained Infliction

Rapier Skills

• Flurry: A construction core. Multi-attacks, combined with Grit and Leeching Flurry, are your primary means of melee burst and health regeneration.
• Flourish & Finish (Combo): Flourish provides knockback and Grit, while Finish triggers the bleed applied by Flurry, dealing a burst of damage.
• Riposte: High risk, high reward. A successful Parry triggers a long stun and applies armor penetration to the target. Followed by Flurry, it can deal significant damage. If you prefer a more secure strategy, switch to Evade.

Weaknesses

This build is vulnerable to burst ranged classes, especially those with sustained damage, as it can't constantly regenerate health through lifesteal. This is especially true with Blunderbuss and Fire Staff, a particularly high burst damage combination in Season 10, making it extremely overpowered.

Also, against high-control or high-toughness melee classes, such as hammers and great axes, once you get stuck in close, you're easily controlled to death.

That's it for New World Season 10 Bow & Rapier Lifesteal build. It's strong in PvP, but can be a bit of a letdown in PvE. You can tweak it a bit to a medium armor or even a medium armor melee lifesteal build, which might be better suited for PvE.

New World: Aeternum Season 10 will release on Monday, October 13th. This is arguably the most significant season since 2025. In addition to adding new maps and raids, it also significantly reworks the equipment system, and new weapon types will soon be available.

Besides being able to increase equipment GS up to 800 using materials and coins, another significant change in Season 10 is the addition of sets. Sets offer powerful buffs, but how effective are they? Will they threaten the status of artifacts? The official effects of 8 sets have been released, so let's take a look.

1. Focused Set

Set Effects:

• 2. Equipped: Increases healing effectiveness by 15% for targets not within Sacred Ground or Beacon range.
• 4. Equipped: After holding a weapon for 10 seconds, the next healing skill's effectiveness is increased by 15% and its cooldown is reduced by 5%.

Focused Set is a great 2-piece set because it frees healers from relying on 2 specific skills, allowing them to use 3 other skills and increasing build flexibility. It's particularly well-suited for builds like Life Staff + Void Gauntlet/Flail.

A 4-piece set, however, is somewhat impractical. In PvP, it's difficult to maintain a weapon swap for 10 seconds, and in PvE, healers often need to switch weapons frequently to provide support. Therefore, few people would likely utilize the benefits of a 4-piece set.

2. Elementally Charged Set

Set Effects:

• 2 Equipped: Reduces magic weapon skill damage by 7%, but adds the elemental damage of that weapon to your next non-magical attack.
• 4 Equipped: Stores up to 2 Elemental Charges, granting 10% resistance to the corresponding element at full charge.

The mechanics of the 2-piece Elementally Charged Set are somewhat confusing; its core mechanic is to encourage a magic weapon in the off-hand and a physical weapon in the main-hand. For example, after applying Orb of Decay debuff with Void Gauntlet, you can switch to a bow for burst damage. However, a pure magic damage build will suffer a 7% damage penalty.

The practicality of a 4-piece set is also limited. Taking up 4 slots just for 10% elemental resistance might not be worth it unless you have a very specific build requirement. Generally speaking, Elementally Charged Set is suitable for a mixed build.

3. Stifling Set

Set Effects:

• 2 Equipped: When all abilities on your current weapon are on cooldown, your attacks silence the target for 2s and yourself for 1s.
• 4 Equipped: While silenced, your basic attack damage is increased and your ability cooldowns are reduced.

The 2-piece Stifling Set is extremely powerful in PvP, and It could even revolutionize the PvP landscape. If you use Leaping Strike, Shield Rush, and Unstoppable Slash with your sword and shield, all 3 abilities will be on cooldown the moment you cast the last ability, instantly silencing the opponent for 2 seconds. During these 2 seconds, the opponent cannot use any escape or counter skills, leaving them vulnerable. Therefore, almost all PvP players will consider this set.

The 4-piece set's benefits are simply icing on the cake; since the 2-piece set is already powerful enough, the 4-piece set isn't essential. Stifling Set is a purely PvP set, significantly enhancing weapons that rely on skill combos, such as swords and shields, flails, and bows.

4. Enraged Set

Set Effects:

• 1 Equipped: When attacking a target within 13 meters, you gain an Enraged state, increasing your damage by 1% and your damage to the attacker by 0.5% per stack. Maximum 10 stacks.
• 3 Equipped: Maximum Enraged stacks increased to 15. Heavy attacks inflict an additional Enraged stack. While Enraged and above 70% health, you lose 5% of your maximum health per second.
• 5 Equipped: Increases the maximum number of Enraged stacks to 25, and increases the duration of Fury by 50%. While Enraged and below 70% health, all attacks deal an additional 8% damage.

Enraged Set provides a 10% damage increase in exchange for 5% vulnerability, which is very cost-effective in PvE because tanks can hold aggro and DPS can deliver without pressure. This means DPS can gain a significant damage boost without pressure. However, in PvP, willingly sacrificing significant health and taking increased damage for a meager damage increase is suicidal.

5. Second Wind Set

Set Effects:

• 2 Equipped: While Exhausted, deals 20% additional base damage to enemies within 5 meters. Attacking enemies within 5 meters removes the slow effect caused by dodging.
• 4 Equipped: While Exhausted, attacks within 5 meters gain 10% life steal. Upon exiting Depleted state, gain 3% Empower (up to 5 stacks, lasting 3 seconds).

Second Wind Set can turn the depleted stamina debuff into an advantage. It can be particularly effective when paired with heavy equipment, providing a countermeasure for players who prefer aggressive dodging or who easily deplete stamina.

6. Protector's Blessing Set

Set Effects:

• 2 Equipped: When healing an ally above 50% health, gain a Protector's Blessing (2s CD, up to 5 stacks). At full stack, the healer suffers 7% Rend, but healing high-health allies grants them a 15% Armor boost for 5 seconds.
• 4 Equipped: Each stack of Blessing grants an additional 3% base damage. At full stack, healing an ally below half health consumes all stacks, granting them a health regeneration effect that lasts 5 seconds and restores 10% weapon damage per second.

Protector's Blessing Set is clearly designed for healers. This set primarily strengthens the health of allies by weakening itself. With a 4-piece set, it can also provide burst healing in critical moments. A balance needs to be struck between self-survival and team benefit. If combined with other sets, healers can also deal significant damage.

7. Tenacity Set

Set Effects:

• 2 Equipped: After being stunned, gain 2 seconds of Grit. While Grit is active, damage taken is increased by 5%.
• 4 Equipped: Successful light attacks apply 3 seconds of Grit (6s CD). While Grit is active, gain 5% life steal.

Tenacity Set is clearly suited for tanks. It changes the gameplay from typically gaining Grit through heavy attacks, allowing light attacks to also provide tenacity and regeneration, potentially changing the damage rotation. However, it also has a buff that increases damage taken, making it less effective for tanks in both PvP and PvE. It might be suitable for certain Grit-heavy builds.

8. Overcharge Set

Set Effects:

• 3 Equipped: Gain a stack of Overcharge (5s CD) when attacking an enemy within 5 meters or killing an enemy. Each stack increases base damage by 5% and status resistance by 10%, but also applies 4% Rend. A maximum of 3 stacks is achieved (i.e., 15% damage, 30% resistance, and 12% Rend). All stacks are removed upon being struck.
• 5 Equipped: Increases the maximum number of Overcharge stacks to 5, and now provides an additional 5% health regeneration.

Overcharge Set is an extremely interesting mechanic, well-suited for high-mobility or hit-avoiding playstyles, but can be quite volatile in PvP. A full 5-piece set provides 25% increased damage, 50% status resistance, and 20% Rend, offering both high rewards and high risks. It offers a greater advantage in PvP, especially for ranged DPS players like Bows, Musket and Fire Staff.

Judging from the 8 sets currently displayed for New World: Aeternum Season 10 Nighthaven, the effects of one or 2 sets are often the most crucial, and activating all the set effects won't bring about a significant difference. This shows that players are still encouraged to mix and match, and you can also combine with artifacts.

GS cap for New World: Aeternum Season 10 has been raised from 750 to 800, requiring a significant amount of coins and materials to increase GS. If you have a keen sense of opportunity, you'll already know which materials will be highly sought after in Season 10. There are currently many safe and affordable New World coins on IGGM platform. Use them to earn your first pot of gold in Season 10!

With New World Aeternum Season 10: Nighthaven official launch on October 13th fast approaching, whether you're a longtime player or a new or returning player drawn to Season 10, you're likely preparing for the new season.

While you can't experience the new modes or dungeons just yet, you can at least farm more coins and items to stock up for the new season, or try to improve various builds to quickly improve your combat efficiency once you enter Season 10.

With this in mind, we're introducing Demon Hunter Bow Rapier Bleed Build. This build actually has two versions, both of which performed well in Season 9 and are expected to perform well in the new season as well.

Version 1

This build has a Finish version and an Aconite version. Finish version first gains an additional 15% damage with a Light Loadout, and then adds a Nimble Coat for the highest refresh rate and faster skill casts.

If you're using Finish, add Distained Infliction as the third perk on your jewelry, along with Red Hot Slag for bloodletting, to maximize the damage of your light sword and Endless Thirst.

This also further enhances your tankiness, allowing you to deal damage and trigger Flourish while maintaining greater leeway against your opponent, effectively creating distance and ensuring your survival in combat.

As for the bow component of your build, you should choose poison shot, penetrating shot, and explosive arrow for bow mastery, creating burst/AoE damage patterns to deal sufficient damage to enemies in a short period of time.

How To Perform Combos?

To trigger a combo with Finish version build, you must first trigger Endless Thirst. To do this, you can use a recovery potion or mana potion to gain an 8-second buff.

It's generally recommended to use a recovery potion at the beginning of a fight to maintain full health even during the crucial mid-fight moments.

To achieve this while utilizing this build, you need to deal as much damage as possible with your bow, while also taking advantage of DoT damage from Fire and Poison, ideally with some Light energy thrown in.

By replacing poison shot with explosive shot, you can deal significant damage to your opponent before they even enter melee range. Once they're fully within range, you're practically at an advantage.

Note that when you're within 5 meters of your enemy, for maximum safety, you can try Light Attacks, or if you have the opportunity, Leeching Flurry, which allows you to trigger a double bleed, ending the fight faster and dealing maximum damage.

Of course, you may need to perform some evasive rolls to avoid enemy attacks during this process. However, in terms of damage output, the bow will always put a lot of pressure on the enemy, and Finish will do the rest.

The advantage of Finish is that it provides both Tondo and Flourish. Additionally, you'll need to increase your character's endurance, health, and wiggle room, and finding Leeching Flurry for your gear is fantastic.

Version 2

This version of Demon Hunter Bow Rapier Bleed build is based on Aconite, granting you an additional 15% poison damage and allowing you to deal an additional 5% damage with your heavy attacks.

Therefore, the base damage of Aconite version is slightly higher than that of the first version.

Thus, if you prefer to weaken your opponents and better withstand damage, version 2 is recommended. If you're playing as a healer, you can use Gorgon's Rapier.

While this will negate the 10% weakening effect of Tondo, at least you retain Flourish. This makes this build more evasive and last longer.

When using the bow, you simply follow the same principles as with the first version: deal damage from range, trigger Endless Thirst with a healing potion, and trigger poison with explosive shots.

After this, you need to move 5 meters away from the enemy to trigger Tondo, and you're no longer locked into the dodge animation, as you can cancel it, but be sure to successfully dodge and trigger the bleed. If you dodge too quickly, the sword attack won't trigger.

If you don't want to do this, or your opponent is vulnerable, you can simply drain the enemy once, then dodge into another area, and then finish them off with a Flourish.

Season 10 is expected to feature primarily vampire and demon enemy types. You'll also be able to complete new main quests to advance the story, experience Catacombs mode, the new Isle of Night raid, and other seasonal changes.

If you're interested in this versatile build with two versions, start crafting it now so you can seamlessly switch between them as the new season begins!

Whichever version of Demon Hunter Bow Rapier Bleed Build you choose, you'll need to add the appropriate gear. If you can't obtain it through drops, you'll need to consume coins to acquire it.

So, before Season 10 begins, visit IGGM New World coins page and buy the required coins to help you craft your build more efficiently in Nighthaven! Buy now and you can get discounts based on your order quantity! Seize the opportunity!

As we all know, New World Aeternum Season 10 Nighthaven introduces a brand new 3v3 gameplay mode: Catacombs PvE. As you can imagine, competition for these three slots will be fierce.

A strong PvE build is crucial for completing the numerous missions in Catacombs Mode and successfully handling open-world encounters and powerful boss creatures. So, here we'd like to introduce what we believe to be the three best practical PvE builds currently available, which are likely to be the best choices for participating in Catacombs early in the game. Without further ado, let's get started.

1. Sword And Shield Flail Tank Build

The first on this list is a tank build centered around Sword and Shield Flail. This Sword and Shield Flail allows you to draw your sword and empower your allies. You can then use Flail as a secondary weapon, equipped with a Power Stone-like weapon, which provides additional damage reduction when you strike a boss.

In New World, completing a Sword and Shield Flail build requires a selection of skills, such as Bludgeon for taunting and fortifying, Vortex for team buffing, and Eruption for damage boosting.

For stats, it's recommended to prioritize Strength for damage and Focus for healing and buffing. This is the primary stat combination for most Flail builds, as Flail scales at 90% Strength and 65% Focus.

Sword and Shield provides area-of-effect taunting and defense, complementing Flail's support and healing abilities. Using a Power Stone or Mending Vortex can also add 20% damage reduction or sustained effects to your build.

It's worth mentioning that if you don't want to use a Power Stone, Crescent's Wave is also a good option. Crescent's Wave has a unique ability for tanks, where the wave it launches actually counts as an additional critical hit.

If you launch a wave of attacks and hit any monster in the area, the critical hit can trigger a taunt, pulling the monster towards you. So, it's super useful when you're dealing with large groups of enemies.

But from a single-target perspective, I think Power Stone is still better, as it's crucial for your team's survival. Overall, this build is very solid and very survivable.

2. Void Gauntlet Healer Build

Next, the second PvE build I want to introduce is a healer-oriented one. Life Staff is basically the default choice for healer builds, and everyone expects it.

From a PvE perspective, the basic approach to using Life Staff is to choose AOE skills, so Void Gauntlet will be your primary source of damage.

New World Void Gauntlet healer focuses on Life Staff's healing, using Void Gauntlet's attacks and utility skills: Void Blade for damage, Oblivion for empowering effects, and Scream or Rupture for disabling or healing allies.

The key to this build lies in healing abilities like Sacred Ground, allowing you to switch to Void Gauntlet at any time to activate Void Blade, use Oblivion to damage and debuff enemies, and then use Life Staff to sustain the team.

Void Gauntlet healer is ideal for Catacombs PvE gameplay of Nighthaven Season because it perfectly combines powerful healing with significant area-of-effect damage and utility.

In addition to Oblivion's ability providing a significant damage bonus to allies and debuffing enemies, abilities like Essence Rupture and Petrifying Scream provide lifesteal, fortification, and enemy debuffs, ensuring strong support and survivability in treacherous PvE environments.

Furthermore, Void Gauntlet's damage scales with Intelligence and Focus, making it a unique pairing with Life Staff, providing both powerful support and strong personal damage output - essential for high-end PvE content.

3. Evade Rapier/Blood Rapier DPS Build

Finally, we'd like to mention the best single-target DPS build in New World, which is also a dual build: Evade Rapier/Blood Rapier build. These two weapons are often used together to fill in any DPS gaps.

Evade Rapier/Blood Rapier build is very effective in PvE because of its high single-target DPS, which is crucial for boss fights and encounters that require sustained damage.

Evade Rapier, when paired with Flurry and Evade, provides strong survivability and continuous self-healing and damage, while Blood Rapier, when paired with abilities like Flourish and Finish, provides increased damage by boosting bleed and burst.

Which build you choose depends on your team's needs and your New World coins budget. Evade Rapier is better for self-sufficiency, while Blood Rapier excels when other players use buffs like Rend and Empower.

As for cost, while both builds can utilize different types of Rapiers, certain Artifact Rapiers are crucial to their respective playstyles. Finisher Artifact is particularly popular in Evade Rapier builds. To achieve the highest levels of evasion, players may need a more specialized Artifact Rapier, resulting in a higher cost compared to a Blood Rapier build.

In summary, Evade Rapier emphasizes frequent use of Evade and Flurry for defensive and self-healing abilities, making it a safer choice for solo players or those who require more defensive power. Blood Rapier, on the other hand, prioritizes using skills for increased bleed and burst damage.

Thus, Evade Rapier is generally a safer, more self-sufficient DPS choice, while Blood Rapier is better suited for DPS players who focus on damage and rely on team support.

However, in a 3v3 match, it's recommended that each team only use one Blood Rapier build, as multiple builds attempting to bleed the same target will reduce the overall damage effectiveness.

From New World Nighthaven Catacombs PvE perspective, these are my three recommended builds for the best gameplay. You can choose your own based on your playstyle and playstyle.

But please note, no matter which PvE build you choose, a great gear set is always the foundation for a top-tier build. If you lack the coins to acquire the right gear or artifacts, you can also buy cheap and secure New World coins on IGGM. You don't need to waste time on lengthy farming; the abundant gold for sale can instantly satisfy all your needs.

The release date for New World Aeternum Season 10 has finally been revealed! That's right, on Monday, October 13th, the new season called Nighthaven is coming!

This update is still free if you already own the game on Xbox or PS5. The only catch is that if you're a returning player from 2021 to 2022, before the release of Rise of the Angry Earth expansion, you'll still need to obtain that expansion to experience Nighthaven.

As always, New World Season 10: Nighthaven brings a host of changes, including a new map area, a level cap increase, and new raids and artifacts to discover. However, here, we're focusing on a brand new PvE mode: Catacombs.

Let's take a quick look at the gameplay and rewards available in Catacombs PvE. In a dungeon teeming with danger, you'll face a choice: pursue more New World Aeternum coins and loot, or escape safely!

Catacombs PVE Mode Overview

Because of its procedurally generated layout, Catacombs offers exceptional replayability, and each playthrough presents new challenges. With each boss defeated, the dungeon's challenge increases significantly, and so does the potential reward.

3-Player Dungeon

Catacombs accommodates up to three players, requiring coordinated effort to successfully defend against the escalating threats. This means it's a three-player dungeon, not the five, ten, or even twenty-player dungeons of our Expeditions and Raids.

In short, in these procedurally generated dungeons, players will battle a diverse array of enemies and bosses. You'll earn pattern-specific power-ups, collect cursed resources and currency, and race against time to escape and purify your treasure before the clock runs out.

Collecting Cursed Resources

Therefore, you can imagine the importance of these cursed resources in Nighthaven. While the developers haven't yet revealed how to collect these specific currencies and resources, the current gameplay might offer some clues.

Currently, there are a few areas in New World where you can also earn cursed loot. One area is Cursed Mists in the game, a free-for-all (FFA) PvP zone that significantly expands the explorable areas of the Cutlass Keys area.

Chopping down trees and looting chests here will give you a chance to find Cursed Doubloons, cursed resources, and other loot.

Assuming they implement similar mechanics for Catacombs game mode, I have to warn you: while resource gathering is fun, don't die! This is because in Cursed Mists zone, faction is irrelevant; all players are marked for PvP, and death results in you losing half of your collected resources, creating an unpredictable and rewarding experience for both solo players and adventurers.

So, perhaps a similar system will exist in Catacombs: failing to exit safely will result in the loss of most of the treasure you've collected, but this can be avoided by just one player exiting safely.

Push Forward Or Safely Exit?

Then, after defeating the boss, you'll face a crucial decision: continue deeper to obtain better items and more challenging enemies, or simply save your existing treasure.

Yes, since Catacombs is a three-player PVE extraction mode with various power-ups, it may have some roguelike elements. And they seem to be investing a lot of rewards in this mode, so there's both risk and reward!

Key Rewards

Catacombs mode in New World Season 10 offers a wealth of rewards. In addition to Cursed Resources and currency that can be exchanged for various items, it also includes unique gear with powerful Infix Perks, set bonuses for rare gear from Pinnacle content, and mode-exclusive power-ups that enhance player abilities.

First, Catacombs dungeons are filled with unique cursed resources and special currencies. These serve as crucial tools for leveling up and obtaining high-level rewards, increasing the risk and reward of the mode. Collecting these resources and the brand-new currency within allows you to quickly raise your Gear Score to 725.

Infix Perks is a new system introduced in Season 10. The developers have stated that unique gear pieces will come with these powerful and rare perks, called Infixes. These will function similarly to the unique perks on Artifacts.

Whether these Infix Perks will replace Artifacts or work alongside them is currently unclear. However, with them, combined with set bonuses and other perks for customization, we have the potential for some truly unique builds!

Furthermore, Catacombs are a source of extremely rare gear sets, which offer powerful bonuses when equipped with multiple pieces, encouraging diverse build combinations.

Finally, as players progress through procedurally generated dungeons, they can earn special boosters that enhance their character's attributes and abilities.

All in all, some of the best items you can get in New World Aeternum Nighthaven are almost exclusively in Catacombs PvE Game Mode. So, get your three-person team together, prioritize your tank, damage dealer, and healer, and see how long you can last within the time limit. Of course, you'll also want to avoid dying so you can keep the loot from defeated bosses and enemies!

Season changes are a regular occurrence in New World Aeternum. The currently ongoing Season 9 launched on July 29th and is expected to be replaced by Season 10 in October.

While the game hasn't yet announced a precise release date for Season 10, some details about the new content that will be added have been released, and you can gauge the exact timeframe based on the validity of your existing season pass.

Regardless, Season 10 is just around the corner, so it's time to start preparing for it. One of the best strategies is to farm more Mystic Doubloons in advance.

What Is New Content In Season 10?

Before you start accumulating New World coins and items for the new season, it's worth understanding what's already known about Season 10 new content.

This season will feature vampires and werewolves, initially adding a new zone called Night Haven, located south of Brimstone. It will also include the game's first 10-player raid, The Hive of the Gorgons.

Other possible seasonal changes include:

• Reforms to the endgame system, such as a higher gear score cap.
• Maintaining the continued relevance of artifacts, providing more build crafting possibilities.
• More PvE gameplay and content.
• Introducing a new gear set reward system, allowing you to exchange old gear for new gear.
• Additional quality-of-life improvements.

How Can You Prepare For These New Features?

While you can't get early access to new raids or other gameplay features of Season 10, you can work hard to farm more coins and usable items before Season 9 ends, building a reserve to quickly level up your character once the new season begins.

Why Should You Stock Up On Mystic Doubloons?

While coins are the primary currency to redeem most basic items in New World Aeternum, they are still slightly less rare than Doubloons.

This special currency can be exchanged for rarer equipment, artifacts, and crafting materials in Well of Fortune. So accumulating enough Doubloons before Season 10 will help you make immediate progress at the start of the season.

How To Farm Doubloons?

First, it's important to know that this currency only drops in Cutlass Keys territory, where both normal monsters and the additional PvP area, The Cursed Mists, are found. Chests in this area also yield more Doubloons.

Note that Doubloons earned in The Cursed Mists start as Cursed Doubloons and only transform into Mystic Doubloons upon leaving the area. If you're defeated in PvP, you'll lose 50% of your loot.

Completing Cutlass Keys Quests

Once you enter Cutlass Keys territory, the game will assign you a series of scattered quests. To quickly farm Doubloons, you should accept as many as possible. On average, completing each quest will reward you with 35 or more Doubloons.

Not all of these quests are located in PvP zones, so if you're not confident in facing real players, you can choose lower-risk quests to complete your farming more safely and efficiently.

Exploring The Cursed Mists

Due to the uncertainty and dangers of PvP gameplay, it's crucial to ensure your character is at a high enough level and equipped with PvP-appropriate gear and builds before entering this zone to farm Doubloons.

The real thrill of combat in The Cursed Mists lies in the fact that you can not only earn Doubloon chests through reward settlements, but you can also loot Doubloons from other players by killing them.

Optimal Cutlass Keys Exploration Routes

Due to the large area of ​​Cutlass Keys and the uneven distribution of available chests, you can choose specialized farming routes based on your needs. Some are safer, while others offer higher risks and higher rewards.

The Citadel Route

The Citadel is located on the westernmost side of The Cursed Mists and is also the deepest part of this PvP zone, making it quite dangerous.

If you choose this route, it's best to slowly advance in a circular motion around The Citadel toward the center, minimizing conflict and searching for chests.

Pond Scum Port Route

As the safest route, Pond Scum Port offers mostly preventable common enemies and many chests, allowing you to easily obtain a large number of Doubloons. This route is also suitable if you want to quickly complete your weekly Goldcursed Coconut farming.

Flotsam Gate Route

Compared to the previous two routes, Flotsam Gate offers a good balance of risk and reward, allowing you to obtain a considerable number of Doubloons without the increased risk of The Citadel.

However, it's important to note that Flotsam Gate is closer to the center of PvP area. While the route is more open, you may still be attacked by ranged players who are good at quickly killing enemies.

Doubloons Trading

If you've mostly completed Season 9, all Doubloons you earn should be kept until Season 10. However, you can still redeem them for Glittering Gold Keys or Goldcursed Epic Crates now.

Because each Glittering Gold Key has a chance of granting you a chest containing approximately 500 Mystic Doubloons, while Goldcursed Epic Crates have a small chance of granting you a 725 Geasrscore item.

That's all for this update. Best wishes for your continued success in Season 10!
