Friends, I am on this weird kick right now of trying to find interesting gear farms in New World. You are either going to get sick of these or benefit from the dumb things I am doing “for science”. The benefit of these 590 named items is that you can use them without having to worry about “level drain” where the effective item level is an average of the actual level of the item and your current expertise level. Named items are just the item level they are regardless of how low your expertise might be, which makes them amazing for starting out. This farm was found when I started searching for 590 Greatswords and stumbled across a real gem. This one is a bit of a quirk where sometimes bosses in New World drop items that are out of range for the level at which you can do them. Molderhusk and his little buddy Fungalstep are level 35 creatures, but they both have in their loot table level 590 items.
Another huge benefit of this farm, in particular, is it is really close to town. Basically, you head out the northern path from Weaver’s Fen and then turn east and follow the coastline until you arrive at the ruins of Lepus. You should be a little cautious as while Lepus itself is not actively Blighted, there are areas surrounding the ruins that are. While none of the maps actually have Molderhusk marked as a proper boss, I have taken the liberty of lifting the boss icon and placing it roughly where it and Fungalstep are located. What makes this farm so beneficial is the fact that both of these mobs spawn at the same time and share a loot table, so with each round of kills you are essentially getting two chances at the loot you might be interested in. In order to see the 590 drops however I believe you have to be level 60.
Because I am mad… I put in the time and managed to get all of the notable drops shown on the table. I did this in part because New World database websites have been notoriously wrong about a good many things. There are mobs out there that used to drop things that no longer do, and others that have new drop tables that have never quite been updated. Essentially take most information about this game with a massive barrel of salt. I can tell you as of November 9th that these items were dropping as I walked away with each of them giving me the nifty screenshot above. Not shown is a sequence of blue quality weapons that are item level 400, but level 30 equippable… so if you are lower level and want to “juice” your character while leveling this might still be worthy of farming. Let’s look at the notable loot tables that they both share:
As far as drop rates… it took me probably two hours before I saw the entire loot table. I saw three of the rings, a single spear, and the final drop I got before checking out was the sword. One of the things to remember is that all of this 590 gear can be upgraded all the way to 625 using Umbral Shards, so if there is an item that you particularly like you can keep using it indefinitely. I think the most interesting thing about this Greatsword is how probably good it would be for PVP, seeing as it gives an ability that doesn’t normally have a slow on it one that reduces movement by one-third. It does not come with a gem in it, which isn’t the end of the world given that most people end up swapping those out anyways.
I have a few more of these farm locations that I plan on documenting, so expect to see more in the coming days/weeks. Do you know any great spots that I should check out? Drop me a line below.
