Greetings Adventurers,

Welcome to the New World June Bonus XP event! Throughout June, we’ll be hosting a variety of bonus XP events for adventurers to maximize their characters’ potential through leveling up weapons, trade skills, and more.

Starting 2022-06-23T07:01:00Z until 2022-06-27T06:59:00Z, Character Levels will receive a Double XP boost!

To learn more, check out our article here: ...

You’ll be able to switch factions once you create your character regardless of which level 60 backstory you create.

Greetings Adventurers,

If you encounter a bug while playtesting the PTR, please post it here in this thread using the template below so we can get as much information possible to provide to the team:

• What is your character name in the PTR:
• Describe the issue you are experiencing:
• Is this a bug or an exploit:
• (if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay:
• (if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue:
• (if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced:
• What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced:
• When did you experience it? (Date and Relative Time - include your timezone)

We thank you for helping us improve New World and for helping us keep this thread focused solely on the bugs and exploits you are experiencing in the PTR!

In the PTR the new amount of total attribute stats you can earn if you have a 625 dual attribute items in all slots is 320 (currently 270 in Live). This is enough to get you to an additional 50 attribute point threshold bonus. Again, experimental in PTR, so please check it out and give feedback.

Also please share any feedback on the other perk balance changes as we polish those up before release.

We will be correcting the description in an upcoming patch.

Thank you for reporting this! I’ll look into it!

Pah, thanks!

This is a very experimental change and we are looking for feedback through you all playtesting on PTR to evaluate the balance and impact of these changes before we consider them going live. Please check them out in-game and continue to share your feedback. If these dual stat changes become desirable we will appropriate updates to Timeless Shard Recipes.

Perks are up. There are a lot of them

Economy/Progression/Perks

• Changed the way perks roll, they now first roll by label then by perk. This will increase the diversity of perks on weapons. For example the trade skill drop chance on earrings now have a very low drop chance on drops to increase the combat focused perks players get from earrings. These can still be a controlled craft using their specific craft mods.
• Re-balanced all perk drop chances and normalized the perk chances across family creatures and expeditions. For example Refreshing was not dropping on most family and expedition tables and it can now drop from all expeditions and families.
• Skill perks now have a greatly increased effect when on a weapon vs armor. This will be displayed in upd...
