The other day when I posted my systems review post, one of the things that I highlighted was how annoying the gear snapshot mechanic was. Since then I have been trying to find a reasonable way to push this number up, and realistically the only way is by grinding something over and over and getting drops to slowly bump the number up. This has lead to me trying to seek out a way to do this reasonably without going insane in the process. Initially I had found a spot in Shattered Mountain with a circuit of a dozen or so Angry Earth and a single boss that had a pretty decent chance of dropping loot. However this took some time to farm the spawn and given that everything was 63 or 64 it had a high chance of leading to me just getting overwhelmed.
While doing some faction quests in Edengrove last night, I stumbled upon a boss spawn on roughly a one minute timer that drops loot almost every time you kill him. The NPC in question is Adjorjan and it is located in the Gasping Summit area shown on the above map. More than anything it also seems to have a higher than average drop rate of gear with gathering luck bonuses. I’ve picked up almost a full set of logging and mining gear and a handful of pieces of skinning. So far harvesting seems to be the most rare of the four, but I have picked up a few of those as well. Additionally I’ve managed to pick up a handful of loot drops that are legendary crafting items.
Last night we even ended up with a small party of four of us that happened to wander by and stuck around to see what all the commotion was. Having a rolling party made the farming go way more smoothly given that it is still a level 62 Silver Elite. Having a few folks there to talk with also made passing the time a bit more enjoyable. At this point I have managed to bump my gear score up to the neighborhood of 525ish and one of the guys I was farming with has pushed it up into the 550s in this one spot. There are a few weird drops however of level 19ish gear, which effectively feels like a wasted chance. However it wouldn’t be New World without irrational bugs.
So essentially if you are looking for a good way of bumping up your gear score, you might check this spot out and see if anyone is farming it on your server. So far it has been well worth my time and I guess I will be here for awhile until I push my gear score up a bit higher.
