Guide to Earning Gold and Collecting Trophy Pieces in New World: Aeternum

Preparing for Your Journey

Before we dive into the routes, it's essential to gear up properly. I recommend equipping a full luck set. This setup enhances your chances of finding rare items, including trophy pieces, from the various chests scattered across Aeternum. While it can make combat a bit challenging, the increased loot drops are well worth it.

Route Overview

I typically divide my treasure hunting into two main areas: Eban Scale Reach and Shattered Mountain. Each area has multiple routes, and I follow them multiple times a day for the best results.

Route 1: Eban Scale Reach

Starting Point: Pilgrim's Rest Way Shrine

1. Teleport to Pilgrim's Rest: Start your adventure by teleporting to the Pilgrim's Rest Way Shrine.

2. Head Downhill: Move directly down the hill and make a quick jump to reach a castle-like area with three potential chest locations.

Chest Locations

· Castle Area: Loot the three chests easily accessible from your starting point. Remember, since these supply stockpiles can be looted multiple times a day, it’s beneficial to return here often.

1. First House in Eban Scale:

· After looting the initial three chests, move east towards the first house. Combat a few regular mobs and take down the named enemy within. Loot the supply stockpile for your chances at a trophy piece.

2. Continue to the Next House:

· Move directly to the adjacent house from the first. Engage the named enemy here for more loot.

3. Ship Area:

· Hop back on your mount and head towards the nearby ship icon. Fight your way through more mobs and loot the next supply stockpile located in a house by the water.

4. Final Area in Eban Scale:

· Finally, travel north to the Misty Shrine location. Again, engage in some combat for another supply stockpile loot opportunity.

Important Tips

· Resource Gathering: As you progress, feel free to pick up any herbs or silkweed you encounter, as these can be sold for additional gold over time.

· Use Infused Corrupted Coatings: If you struggle with the mob combat, these coatings can increase your damage against corrupted enemies, making fights easier.

Route 2: Shattered Mountain

After wrapping up in Eban Scale, I recommend transitioning to Shattered Mountain, where I experience even higher success in trophy hunting.

Fort Locations

1. First Fort: Target the right corner of the nearest fort first. Jump up the stairs to find a supply stockpile.

2. Second Fort: Continue to this fort, clear out the mobs, and retrieve the supply stockpile. Usually, you will find decent loot here as well.

3. Third Fort: Make your way to the last fort on the route. There is a named enemy here, but once defeated, you’ll find another supply stockpile.

Emphasis on Forts

Forts in Shattered Mountain are particularly lucrative due to the multiple potential supply stockpiles you can loot. I suggest dropping a camp at strategic points to make the runs smoother.

Bonus Route: Pilgrim's Rest Re-Check

If you find yourself in need of more trophy pieces quickly, revisit the Pilgrim's Rest area after completing the two main routes. You may need to climb the tower in Eban Scale Reach to unlock the teleport location, which can lead you back to the plentiful loot in the area.

Quick Loot Strategies

· After unlocking the teleport point, engage the named enemy at the top, collect your loot, and make your way back across the bridge to collect more supplies.

· Stay mindful of smaller chests along the way for additional resources and items to sell.

Conclusion

Utilizing these routes effectively can significantly raise your chances of collecting trophy pieces while earning a nice chunk of gold from the items you sell on the trading post. Everyone's luck will vary, so don’t be discouraged if some runs yield fewer trophy pieces than others.
