My top eight tips for beginners in New World Aeternum.

1) Archetypes is more about the trade skills than the gear.
2) Craft all starting tools at the first campsite.
3) Grab resources as soon as you see them.
4) The game drops gear in line with what you have equipped so equip your ideal build as soon as possible.
5) Join a guild and faction as soon as possible. One that aligns with how you want to play the game.
6) Mark yourself for PvP.
7) Make a camp as often as possible and tag one that is nearest to your mission.
8) Concentrate on the main mission and only do side quests if it aligns with where you're going for the main quest.
