New World Items to Farm as a Solo Player

Intro

In this guide we will be covering "named items" that you can effectively solo-farm in the open-world. Most Named Items drop at 590 Gear Score and can be upgraded to 600 Gear Score and beyond with umbral shards, which also upgrades the item from Epic to Legendary and unlocks its third perk.

We also have a video guide for those of you who prefer that format.

Whilst most of the items listed in this guide will not be BiS (Best in Slot), they're all generally worth farming for a player who has recently hit level 60 and is looking to improve their Gear Score and gear in general, before they step into the various expeditions available in New World's end game.

Along with the items listed in this guide, it's encouraged that you also go and complete as many main-story and side quests in the Arenas de Azufre region as you can, as the rewards given range from Orbe de aljez, Fragmento umbrío vacío, and 600 to 615 Gear Score Legendary Weapons! Full List of rewards here.

Note: This guide will not list items such as Venganza oscura, as although items like this are really powerful, they are not in a particular loot pool of any 1 enemy, and thus really hard to target farm for.

All items listed in this guide should be obtainable within a few attempts of killing each enemy, unless you are very unlucky!

Weapons

Sword

La determinación del guardián is a great starting Sword for Corrupted Expeditions and drops from Rafik de Bishara.

Dominador del señor del foso has more survivability in its perks and drops from Daehi, Señor del Foso.

Shield

Murotitán has a great set of perks for starting tanks and drops from Saturninus titánico

Balanza de Maat works best when paired with a sword that does not have Avidez or Fortalecido con avidez (allows you to maximize all perk slots, they do not stack) and drops from Juez de la pureza.

Rapier

Espina pútrida has a great set of perks for most Rapier builds and drops from Putris.

Hatchet

Cortahuesos is a good hatchet to then bring into Jardín del Génesis and continue your endgame journey, and drops from all mobs in the Escarcha de Ascensión location.

Greatsword

Cuchillo de Dios works well for Corrupted expeditions and drops from Tribuno Úrsula la gladiadora.

Juicio de Júpiter is a well-rounded Greatsword and drops from Khelone Khelydorea.

War Hammer

Sacudida demoledora is a must-have perk for a Warhammer, but sadly, all open-world bosses that drop these hammers have 300,000+ HP. Yul'kithir is solo-obtainable in that in only requires Level 200 Weaponsmithing, but for drops you could look at Construyemurallas to bring into La Instrumentalidad de Lazarus. It drops from Coloso de Karnak.

Great Axe

Hacha del Primero starts with Golpes boicoteadores, a strong perk for 300 Strength Melee users, and drops from Primo Galba.

Spear

Sadly there are no good spears that drop off of easy to kill enemies reliably, other than Llave de Khnum. This is not a bad spear for La Instrumentalidad de Lazarus, and drops from Guardián de Khnum.

Fire Staff

Signum Phalerae is beginner's Firestaff as its perks aren't great, but you can easily farm it from Juez Luca corrupto.

Ice Gauntlet

Entrega total starts with great perks, Avidez and Agresividad, and also upgrades to get Movimiento renovador, making it a great Ice Gauntlet for endgame. It drops for Dau-Shen el Imparable.

Void Gauntlet

Sacrificio corrupto is the only reliable drop you can farm for in the Healing Void Gauntlet category (has Bendición) and drops from Dau-Shen el Imparable.

Profundidades en desintegración is a strong DPS Void Gauntlet for use in Corrupted Expeditions and drops off of Daehi, Señor del Foso.

Life Staff

Marea de luz de luna has Bendición and Abrazo divino renovador, a good starting option if you're running single target heals. It drops from Anargirou de Duat.

Blunderbuss

Rugido sulfúrico has a decent set of perks and is one of a small amount of Blunderbusses that drop more consistently from open world mobs. It drops from Betaikha, el Quemado.

Bow

Respuesta del vigilante is a great pick-up bow for fresh level 60s to use, and drops from Guardián de Satet.

Musket

Rifle de corteza férrea is a strong musket that will last quite far into the endgame, and drops from Garrancha (and from Colmillante, but has much higher HP).

Armor

For armor drops, we will be recommending drops using the following conventions:

• Heavy Equip Load = Every slot is heavy
• Medium Load = Heavy Helm and Chest, Medium Gloves and Boots, Light Legs
• Light Load = Medium Chest, Light Helm, Gloves, Boots and Legs

As a result, no recommendations will be made for Medium Helm or Medium Legs.

Helmets

Heavy

Corona de Sobek is a strong option for Medium DPS and Heavy Tanks in Jardín del Génesis, and drops from Lord Sobek.

Corona del rey cabra is a strong option for Medium DPS and Heavy Tanks in La Instrumentalidad de Lazarus, and drops from Barbachivo, el rey de las cabras.

Light

The only reliable drop in this category you can farm is Capucha de clérigo, which is a decent helmet for Healers, but does feature the PVP perk Resiliencia. It drops from Luxendra la Sabia (Xyo's note: the monster, not the lovely Community Manager. I suggest not messing around with her).

Chests

Heavy

Placatormenta colosal gets Protección contra los antiguos when upgraded, and is not a bad starting tank chest for a fresh level 60. It drops from Coloso de Qebui.

Medium

Bandas para el pecho laguna real is a good starting drop for Light Equip Load Dexterity users, though the perks are PVP orientated. It drops from Lord Sobek.

Light

There are no good/solo-farmable named Light chests currently in game.

Gloves

Heavy

Recuerdo del herrero gives is a good Heavy tank item for Corrupted Expeditions but do not upgrade it past 590 Gear Score (the Indestructible perk is quite bad). It drops from Primo Galba.

Medium

Guantes de lancero have Protección contra los antiguos and work for a Medium Equip load dexterity build, and drop from Guardián de Khnum.

Light

Guantes alegres are great gloves for healers fresh to Level 60, and drop from Ophois el Dichoso.

Legs

Heavy

Grebas lastradas are a strong pick-up for tanks wanting to run La Instrumentalidad de Lazarus, and drop from Coloso de Qebui.

Light

Concentración de Dalao are great legs for fresh level 60 healers as they have Suelo sagrado fortificador on them, a must-have perk. They drop from Dalao de Harwa.

Calzas normales are great for any light or medium equip load build as they have constitution on them, the only downside being that if you upgrade them to 600 Gear Score, they get Resiliencia, a perk only useful (albeit VERY useful) in PVP. They drop from Heka de la Encrucijada.

Boots

Heavy

La carga pesada are the only solo-farm friendly heavy boots you can get, but contain the PVP perk, Resiliencia, so will need to be replaced when an upgrade presents itself. They drop from Khelone Khelydorea.

Medium

There are no good/solo-farmable named Medium boots currently in game.

Light

There are no good/solo-farmable named Light Boots currently in game.

Jewelry

Amulets

Bendición de Maat works well for Healers but requires an upgrade to 600 Gear Score to get the must have Salud Perk. It drops from Juez de la pureza.

For Dexterity users, Colgante del réquiem is a reasonable starting amulet - it does have 9 focus on it so you'll need to replace later on, but the perks are strong. It drops from Tzi-Wang el Inamovible.

Intelligence users have the same option with Tesoro del foso. The perks are strong but it does provide 9 Strength and so will need to be replaced later. It drops from Daehi, Señor del Foso.

Rings

Corazón de Dalao is a great ring to pick-up for those using more than 150 Dexterity or a Medium Equip load build (as Robustez is not present untill 600 Gear Score). It drops from Dalao de Harwa.

Corazón de Hepu is a great ring for most builds as it has Robustez and Constitution. The addition of Slash Damage makes it particularly powerful for Great Axe, Greatsword, Hatchet and S&S users though. It drops from Hepu, el Misericordioso.

Aro de Baal is an alternative to Heart of Hepu that has Fire Damage instead of Slash Damage, so it is good for Firestaff users. It requires you to have the Maderos astillados quest active in order to spawn the mob it drops from, Ronaldo Bola de cañón. This quest chain starts with Una amenaza creciente.

Earrings

Amuleto del recuerdo acatastros is a good pick-up for Strength users but do not upgrade it to 600 Gear Score, since the Brindis de maná perk will not benefit you. It drops from Adjorjan.

Invocado por sus dos tierras is a similar earring but for Dexterity users, and has a better 600 Gear Score upgrade. It drops from Sumo sacerdote de las Puertas Gemelas.

Abalorio ritual del Tarot is an "okay" earring for mages to start with, but you will want to replace it with a better drop as you advance through the endgame. It drops from Kilgoran.
