Good Morning Friends! While I took the weekend off from making blog posts, I did not take the weekend off from documenting New World loot farms and as a result, I have several more days of these ready to go. This morning we are going to talk about a loot farm involving an Angry Earth stone bear named Red Claw in Ebonscale Reach. While this farm is absolutely soloable, it is very likely you will roll up on the location and have multiple others trying to farm the boss as well. I highly suggest that you build impromptu groups because the random chatter can sustain you through the hours of farming. There are also a lot of various Angry Earth dryad-type creatures scattered around the area and at any given time you are going to likely have to deal with both the bear spawning and a number of other things as well. It is possible to “break” the camp and get the spawns timed out so that you only have to deal with one thing at a time, but this takes some significant work to actually pull off.
Unfortunately the camp is not really located near a teleport, so it is going to be a significant run from anywhere. I suggest starting at the main town in Ebonscale Reach and then running south along the roads. About the midpoint in this journey, there is a named boar called Mighty Tusk that you might encounter but unfortunately, it has no significant drops. The location we are shooting for is called Euphorcea and is your standard dryad ruins-type location. One interesting thing about this camp, in particular, is that Rafflebones spawns as a level 66 mob in the courtyard and with a coordinated effort you can farm that as well every few hours adding a number of completely random 590 item level drops. I spent about six hours at this spawn and during that time I saw Rafflebones twice and it dropped a 590 Musket and a 590 Ice Gauntlet.
If I thought the last farm I wrote about was rough… this one would have likely broken me were it not for making a number of friends along the way. New World seems to have this habit of getting “stuck” on a particular drop. For me, it was the Bloodsucker’s Sword and during the course of my six-hour farm, I saw six of them in total. I specifically came out here to get a Great Axe, and the person that was there with me probably saw around the same number of those while waiting on a single Greatsword to drop. All told I saw 6 of the Greatsword, 4 of the dexterity ring, a wide array of the sub 590 trash drops, and my final drop was the Guillotine that I came there seeking. I also picked up a wide array of legendary weapon crafting materials in the process but lost count of those. Another thing of note is that you can use this boss to farm your daily Obsidian Gypsum drops.
Potentially the most interesting thing about this camp in particular is it changed my outlook on how to approach these. I made so many friends while farming this one item in particular, and since that point, I have held conversations with a wide number of them… one even regularly inviting me to activities. It also made me start to rethink my roleplaying-server indoctrination of considering those with dumb names to be not someone worth spending time on. I would have never struck up a conversation with someone named EbolaIsBae but after spending a few hours with them, realized they are a pretty solid person. Again all of these weapons can be upgraded all the way to 590 once you have capped your expertise at 600 and gathered some Umbral Shards.
Like I said at the head of this article, I’ve already documented several more of these loot farms and will be rolling them out in the coming days. At some point, I am going to have to collect these on a permanent page or something, but for the time being I am collecting them all in a single sub-category called “Loot Farms”. If you know any great spots for 590 gear that I should check out, feel free to drop me a line below.
