New World: Aggro Issues

I’ve noticed something odd lately – it seems like there might be a problem with aggro in the game. I hadn’t been tanking for a while, as I’d been playing as a mage, but I decided to give it a shot and try the Depths Mutations for the artifact neck.

To my surprise, I found that multiple times, my taunts just didn’t seem to work. I could use up to 3-4 taunts, and they would simply be ignored. Sometimes, even when enemies were right on top of me, they wouldn’t show the taunt icon. It was really strange. Even when the taunt did seem to work correctly, it was often ignored by the enemies. This was incredibly unusual, and I’d never seen anything like it before.

I’ve been using various aggro-generating perks and focusing mostly on attacking, unless my health drops significantly, in which case I’ll block as needed. However, it doesn’t seem to make a difference – aggro appears to be acting strangely. I even noticed this when I was playing as a mage, trying to farm Void Plate, where a flail tank used one of their taunts, and for some reason, even though I hadn’t taken any actions yet, it seemed to be redirecting aggro to me.

Have any of you encountered this issue? Do you think there might be some underlying bugs affecting aggro in the game?

In short, here’s how aggro works: Monsters typically attack the first target they get hit by or, in the case of tanks, the one they taunt. Healers can provoke aggro as they heal. However, the taunt effect works after the monster’s current animation or attack. So, even if a tank taunts, monsters might hit a healer once before changing targets. This can be counteracted with hard crowd control, which resets the monster’s current animation. Some DPS players might not be aware of this and get surprised when they gain aggro, even if the taunt was used after their initial attacks.

To address this, tanks should use their taunts before their teammates take any action, whether it’s healing, dealing damage, or applying crowd control. In boss fights, gaining and maintaining full aggro can be tricky because bosses have their own skills and fixed target rotations. Even if a boss is taunted, it may still turn around and target DPS players or use ranged attacks from time to time.

New World Harvesting Guide

Harvesting, along with other trade skills is a vital part of progressing further in the game. It ties with the robust crafting system and requires several resources to train. Being one of the most important gathering skills in the crafting profession, you are required to gather fungi, herbs, elements, etc. So, if you’re looking for an efficient and quick way to level up your harvesting skill, then you’ve come to the right place.

How to level up?

Harvesting requires a player to have at least a Flint Sickle, which can be made from x1 Flint and x1 Greenwood. Every time you harvest to gather resources, you are granted EXP, which means that the more you harvest, the faster you will level up. During your journey, you will have the opportunity to explore diverse plants in the open world for this New World Harvesting Guide. However, you must focus on the highest-tier plant according to your level as it rewards more EXP.

Farm Plants: Harvest at Level 0 (Track at Level 20). Fungi: Harvest at Level 0 (Can’t track). Hemp: Harvest at Level 0 (Track at Level 25). Magical Creatures: Harvest at Level 0 (Track at Level 175). Magical Plants: Harvest at Level 30 (Track at Level 45). Silkweed: Harvest at Level 100 (Track at Level 125). Wirefiber: Harvest at Level 175 (Track at Level 200).

Once you have tracked each of these plants, you can keep an eye out for them on your world map. Alternatively, there’s an interactive map that’s been circulating nowadays, so you can use that to locate specific plants in the game. It’s a good recommendation if you’re going through a lot of trouble to locate one, as it pinpoints the nearest available location.

Harvesting Bonuses

There are several ways to obtain bonuses that can help you level up harvesting or increment the overall yields. There’s an Intelligence attribute that affects the harvesting bonuses in a way that when you add more points to it, the better benefits it offers for this New World Harvesting Guide. At points 50 and 200, you can gain a good additional boost in the speed of harvesting, which then helps in gaining EXP a lot quicker. Similarly, if you have better sickles with different added materials, you can speed up the harvesting process.

There are two other ways to bump up your harvesting speed, and they revolve around Proficiency Booster potions and food items. You can create a potion utilizing the Arcana skill, whereas, food items can be made from Cooking. To make it easier for you, we have listed down the dishes you will want to make for added luck in harvesting, in this New World Leveling Guide.

Cooked Corn increases harvesting luck by 1000 points (20 minutes). Cornbread increases harvesting luck by 1400 points (25 minutes).
