New World Best Weapon, Amulet & Ring Farming Locations for Early Game – In this New World Farming Guide I’ll be showing you where to find the best early game Weapons in New World. I’ll break these down by category for easy viewing, and I’ll be updating this over time as more locations become known.

New World Best Early Game Weapons & Locations
Let’s take a look at Weapons, since these are probably the most sought after in New World, especially from those who have had poor luck with drops. Keep in mind these items are Uniques so they will spawn with the same stats in the same place over and over, and they are also Bind on Pick Up so you cannot trade them.
What’s really great about these Unique Weapons is that they always spawn in the same place, even if you have to kill the named enemy several times, you can always get these if you are patient enough. Make sure you have Luck on your equipment for best practice, in order to increase your drop rate. Note that you may need to be of a certain level or Gear Score for some of these things to drop, but that you don’t need to be the level of the item for it to drop.
If you’re looking for a comprehensive map of where to find all these things in one place I highly recommend you check out our Bosses page, as we’re updating Maps there with locations of all Bosses and what they drop in one image.
