Gold is the lifeblood of the economy in New World: Aeternum, and players will need tons of it by the time they reach the endgame. There are many different ways to make money, but some activities are simply more rewarding than others, and players will want to do those if they want to get rich quick.

If you're planning on buying something expensive like a house in New World: Aeternum, then you'll naturally want to fill your coin purse up with as much gold as you can. Here's a short guide covering some of the best ways to make money in the early and later stages of the game.

Crafting and Selling Items in New World: Aeternum

Like in most other MMOs, crafting and selling equipment is one of the best ways to make money in New World. The Trading Post lets players sell things to each other, which means there's a live market and economy going on that can affect how quickly you can get gold.

Demand will naturally change as time progresses, but if you've joined a fresh start server where there are tons of new players, you'll want to start selling items like bags and gathering tools. These tend to sell for a ton of gold early on, especially since everyone will be trying to get their trade skills leveled up.

Selling low-tier weapons can also be a decent source of profit early on. Players who want to try out different class playstyles in New World: Aeternum have a tendency to outright purchase things from the Trading Post for the sake of experimentation. This isn't the most lucrative way of earning money, but it's something to consider if you have spare materials lying around.

Lastly, don't be afraid to sell raw materials in bulk. Things like iron and leather tend to be in high demand most of the time, so if you don't have anything else to sell, considering putting large quantities of these materials up for sale.

Questing and Project Boards

You can earn a lot of money and XP by doing main and side quests. We strongly recommend finishing the main quest first before starting any sort of money farming, as you'll get access to more expensive materials and equipment later down the line.

Additionally, if you're in a fresh start server in New World: Aeternum, consider doing as many project board commissions as you can as you're trying to progress through the main story. These should help level up your trade skills while earning you decent coin in the process. By the time you hit max level, you should have a hefty coin purse along with high-enough crafting skill levels to make those highly prized and sought-after equipment.
