This time around the New World PTR is going to see some changes in the core parts of the game. There aren’t many balance changes coming in the New World December release, but instead we’re going to see MASSIVE changes to the gearscore watermark system and to end game crafting.
There are so many important changes happening, but let’s not forget about the New World christmas holiday event. There’s stuff about a yeti, daily rewards, finding stuff out in the world, all sorts of fun stuff to keep us occupied for a few days or weeks.
All of the changes are going to the PTR December 3rd, 2021, and we can test the out for ourselves. I’m excited to see these changes for myself. Chances are there will be unmentioned updates as well, just like last time, and I’ll be sure to look at those and report on them as I can.
The new watermark system involves a material called “gypsum” which allows guaranteed boosts to your watermark. Also your watermark is now called expertise and is clearly displayed next to each gear slot in your inventory.
As for crafting, it’s called aptitude which is basically a way to level up infinitely. Also you’ll get rewards for completing aptitude levels and in those are schematics to make guaranteed 600 gear score rolls.
There are all sorts of insane changes coming in the New World holiday patch. It’s probably going to be the New World 1.2 patch notes that we’re looking at here, but we’ll see how they number it.

So your gear score is gated and will probably take longer to raise and will unlikely be a daily event as unless you can login at exactly the same time and do whatever activity in the same time window your 23 hours will keep moving further away and sooner or later will miss out. Also almost all crafted gear will be salvage unless its endgame ready and you have the skill to use it. So more grind for anyone not already done with gs same as the punished non hardcore with crafting.
So will the level go up if I want to craft gear that requires me to have 200 forge level? Or will it stay at "level 200 forge required"?
Prepare for everything to break…
Prepare for everything to break…
If they go through with the expertise change where you CAN'T buy upgrades without them being downgraded, I'm out. I don't want to play "that" part of the game. I don't want to farm Myrkguard with zergs, I don't want to endlessly chain dungeons, I don't want to do "dailies." I just wanna gather for 19 hours a day -> sell what I gathered -> buy upgrades.
I spent 100s of hours leveling my crafting instead of spending 100s of hours doing water mark . Now my crafted gear is trash ?
im really impressed by how ags could fuck up their game so bad in the first few months as if they want the game to die.
Now I REALLY regret not going for a couple 200s in crafting.
Sigh.
Started watching this and thought, "Hey, maybe I'll jump back in." Then I kept watching and thought, "Nope."
This changes just makes more hussle for new players. Its like every week they adding something new and new player never catch up the old ones. If they want new players to the game they should work for it. Otherwise I'm level 60 but my server is still death + levelling up crafting become harder + who has level 200 crafting such as big company crafters. They being more stronger and new players being more weak.
gypsum is gonna be so cool
I really hope they don't add dailies to the game. One of the only real reasons I was willing to play this game. Anytime you gate progression behind dailies it is a nightmare. If I can't play everyday I fall behind and can never catch up.
ok this is hype
I think people in the comment section misunderstood the Gypsum system. With that system, the best way to level up your WM is now crafting, PvPing and Arenas. If you hated the zerg grinds, now is your time! You are naturally progressing your WM and going to be at a high WM once "early 2022" hits.
The only ones who can complain are people who are ONLY harvesting and selling their gathered mats. But I can't imagine anyone doing ONLY harvesting … I think those people are exaggerating in order to prove their point that AGS are DuMB AnD Not ConsiDerING TheiR FeELinGs aND ConCErns.
Soooo…go get 600 gs before this goes live right lmao?
Wtf is that guy doing on top of the statue 🤣🤣
13:10 that buffer window is huge for 100ms+ ping player , i often deal 1k+ dmg and never deduct any hp on the enemy
so can you buy 600 gs voidbent armor, and itll just slowly level up when you level up your expertise?
The only thing that got me was the expertise down rank if you equip a higher one.. I wonder if this means the stats itself or just the GS number? Idk, if the stats get reduced I'm confused how crafters could ever sell these? The person equipping it must have the same exp lvl or they're useless to them?
You kinda sound like Lirik
Please I hope there isn't a massive gold cost to make orbs….
I understood the ice caves explanation in a way as they take over what the current portals, otherwise its going to get crowded out there. But we will see.
I'm excited for this stuff today & glad you are as well 😊
The little clarification at 14:39 is a huge letdown. I understand them not wanting people to completely bypass the Expertise system, but investing in 600 GS gear should make you stronger. Even it's just somewhere between your Expertise level and the GS of the item (like if I have Expertise 520 and I buy a 600, let my real power be ~560 or something and go up as I level my Expertise).
Me and the other 90 players on my server are pumped for this update.
