How to Level Up Harvesting from 0 to 200

Harvesting is a trade skill in New World that allows you to harvest various plants, fungi, and small creatures across Aeternum. To begin, you will need to have a sickle equipped. You will then need to find a harvesting resource node usually scattered in the wilderness, where players can interact to start harvesting.

This trade skill allows players to gather materials for various crafting trade skills that need it, such as Cooking and Arcana, to name a few.

Use the links above to quickly jump to each Harvesting leveling range!

Harvesting Level 1 to 100

Generally, if you're leveling Harvesting skill, you want to harvest every resource node you can find during your travels to maximize the amount of EXP you can get.

There is an abundance of Herbs and Berries lying around and waiting to be harvested all over Aeternum, making it the top choice to harvest to level up your Gathering.

Harvesting Herbs

The area north of the settlement in First Light has a lot of herbs that you can farm. It's near the settlement, so you won't have that much trouble storing your materials.

Harvesting Berries

Blueberries and Berries can be found everywhere in Aeternum, but the best place to farm them is the island Southeast of the settlement in First Light. This place also contains Herbs you can collect from, making it the best spot to gather EXP.

Harvesting Level 100 to 175

At this point, you will be able to unlock Silkweed, which you will be prioritizing next to maximize the amount of EXP you gain from harvesting it.

Hemp and other magical plants and animals, at higher levels, will not grant a lot of EXP compared to before. Manage this deficit by going after more valuable resources during your farming runs.

Harvest Silk

Silkweeds can be found near the rivers of Brightwood, just beside the border to Weaver's Fen. Be careful as corruption would sometimes spawn in this part of Brightwood.

Harvesting Level 175 to 200

Once you reach this level, you will now be able to harvest Wirefiber. Always prioritize Wirefiber since this will yield a ton of EXP when harvested.

Ensure that you have upgraded your equipment to maximize the amount of exp you earn from these plants.

Harvest Wirefiber

You can find Wirefiber plants just around the fort in Brightwood. Wirefibers are few in numbers but give a ton of EXP when gathered.

Make sure to harvest other resources you can gather along the way to maximize your EXP gain and as stated previously, make sure to have the right tools equipped to harvest.
