New World Items to Farm as a Solo Player

Intro

In this guide we will be covering "named items" that you can effectively solo-farm in the open-world. Most Named Items drop at 590 Gear Score and can be upgraded to 600 Gear Score and beyond with umbral shards, which also upgrades the item from Epic to Legendary and unlocks its third perk.

We also have a video guide for those of you who prefer that format.

Whilst most of the items listed in this guide will not be BiS (Best in Slot), they're all generally worth farming for a player who has recently hit level 60 and is looking to improve their Gear Score and gear in general, before they step into the various expeditions available in New World's end game.

Along with the items listed in this guide, it's encouraged that you also go and complete as many main-story and side quests in the Deserti di zolfo region as you can, as the rewards given range from Sfera di gesso, Scheggia dell'ombra esaurita, and 600 to 615 Gear Score Legendary Weapons! Full List of rewards here.

Note: This guide will not list items such as Vendetta oscura, as although items like this are really powerful, they are not in a particular loot pool of any 1 enemy, and thus really hard to target farm for.

All items listed in this guide should be obtainable within a few attempts of killing each enemy, unless you are very unlucky!

Weapons

Sword

Determinazione del guardiano is a great starting Sword for Corrupted Expeditions and drops from Rafik di Bishara.

Dominatrice dei signori infernali has more survivability in its perks and drops from Signore infernale Daehi.

Shield

Barriera titanica has a great set of perks for starting tanks and drops from Saturnino titanico

Bilancia di Maat works best when paired with a sword that does not have Incisivo or Intensamente prodigioso (allows you to maximize all perk slots, they do not stack) and drops from Giudice della purezza.

Rapier

Lisca di Putrid has a great set of perks for most Rapier builds and drops from Putris.

Hatchet

Spaccaossa is a good hatchet to then bring into Giardino della Genesi and continue your endgame journey, and drops from all mobs in the Brina ascendente location.

Greatsword

Coltello divino works well for Corrupted expeditions and drops from Tribuno Ursula la gladiatrice.

Giudizio di Giove is a well-rounded Greatsword and drops from Khelone Khelydorea.

War Hammer

Onda d'urto separante I is a must-have perk for a Warhammer, but sadly, all open-world bosses that drop these hammers have 300,000+ HP. Yul'kithir is solo-obtainable in that in only requires Level 200 Weaponsmithing, but for drops you could look at Muratore to bring into Strumentalità di Lazzaro. It drops from Colosso di Karnak.

Great Axe

Ascia del Primus starts with Colpi ostacolanti, a strong perk for 300 Strength Melee users, and drops from Primus Galba.

Spear

Sadly there are no good spears that drop off of easy to kill enemies reliably, other than Chiave di Khnum. This is not a bad spear for Strumentalità di Lazzaro, and drops from Custode di Khnum.

Fire Staff

Signum phalarae is beginner's Firestaff as its perks aren't great, but you can easily farm it from Giudice corrotto Luca.

Ice Gauntlet

Dono infinito starts with great perks, Incisivo and Malvagio, and also upgrades to get Mossa ricaricante, making it a great Ice Gauntlet for endgame. It drops for Dau-Shen l'Inarrestabile.

Void Gauntlet

Sacrificio corrotto is the only reliable drop you can farm for in the Healing Void Gauntlet category (has Benedetto) and drops from Dau-Shen l'Inarrestabile.

Profondità disintegrante is a strong DPS Void Gauntlet for use in Corrupted Expeditions and drops off of Signore infernale Daehi.

Life Staff

Marea del chiaro di Luna has Benedetto and Abbraccio divino ricaricante, a good starting option if you're running single target heals. It drops from Anargirou della Duat.

Blunderbuss

Ruggito sulfureo has a decent set of perks and is one of a small amount of Blunderbusses that drop more consistently from open world mobs. It drops from Betaikha il Bruciato.

Bow

Risposta del custode is a great pick-up bow for fresh level 60s to use, and drops from Custode di Satet.

Musket

Fucile della corteccia di ferro is a strong musket that will last quite far into the endgame, and drops from Zampalarga (and from Mordicchio, but has much higher HP).

Armor

For armor drops, we will be recommending drops using the following conventions:

• Heavy Equip Load = Every slot is heavy
• Medium Load = Heavy Helm and Chest, Medium Gloves and Boots, Light Legs
• Light Load = Medium Chest, Light Helm, Gloves, Boots and Legs

As a result, no recommendations will be made for Medium Helm or Medium Legs.

Helmets

Heavy

Corona di Sobek is a strong option for Medium DPS and Heavy Tanks in Giardino della Genesi, and drops from Lord Sobek.

Castrum Corona del Re caprino is a strong option for Medium DPS and Heavy Tanks in Strumentalità di Lazzaro, and drops from Stubbles il Re caprino.

Light

The only reliable drop in this category you can farm is Cappa da chierico, which is a decent helmet for Healers, but does feature the PVP perk Resiliente. It drops from Luxendra la saggia (Xyo's note: the monster, not the lovely Community Manager. I suggest not messing around with her).

Chests

Heavy

Buferarmatura colossale gets Protezione dagli Antichi when upgraded, and is not a bad starting tank chest for a fresh level 60. It drops from Colosso di Qebui.

Medium

Fascia toracica della Laguna reale is a good starting drop for Light Equip Load Dexterity users, though the perks are PVP orientated. It drops from Lord Sobek.

Light

There are no good/solo-farmable named Light chests currently in game.

Gloves

Heavy

Cimelio del fabbro gives is a good Heavy tank item for Corrupted Expeditions but do not upgrade it past 590 Gear Score (the Indistruttibile perk is quite bad). It drops from Primus Galba.

Medium

Guanti del lanciere have Protezione dagli Antichi and work for a Medium Equip load dexterity build, and drop from Custode di Khnum.

Light

Guanti gioiosi are great gloves for healers fresh to Level 60, and drop from Ophois il gioioso.

Legs

Heavy

Schinieri appesantiti are a strong pick-up for tanks wanting to run Strumentalità di Lazzaro, and drop from Colosso di Qebui.

Light

Concentrazione di Dalao are great legs for fresh level 60 healers as they have Terra sacra fortificante on them, a must-have perk. They drop from Dalao di Harwa.

Pantaloni normali are great for any light or medium equip load build as they have constitution on them, the only downside being that if you upgrade them to 600 Gear Score, they get Resiliente, a perk only useful (albeit VERY useful) in PVP. They drop from Heka dei crocevia.

Boots

Heavy

Il pesante fardello are the only solo-farm friendly heavy boots you can get, but contain the PVP perk, Resiliente, so will need to be replaced when an upgrade presents itself. They drop from Khelone Khelydorea.

Medium

There are no good/solo-farmable named Medium boots currently in game.

Light

There are no good/solo-farmable named Light Boots currently in game.

Jewelry

Amulets

Benedizione di Maat works well for Healers but requires an upgrade to 600 Gear Score to get the must have Salute Perk. It drops from Giudice della purezza.

For Dexterity users, Pendente del requiem is a reasonable starting amulet - it does have 9 focus on it so you'll need to replace later on, but the perks are strong. It drops from Tzi-Wang l'Inamovibile.

Intelligence users have the same option with Tesoro del baratro. The perks are strong but it does provide 9 Strength and so will need to be replaced later. It drops from Signore infernale Daehi.

Rings

Cuore di Dalao is a great ring to pick-up for those using more than 150 Dexterity or a Medium Equip load build (as Vigoroso is not present untill 600 Gear Score). It drops from Dalao di Harwa.

Cuore di Hepu is a great ring for most builds as it has Vigoroso and Constitution. The addition of Slash Damage makes it particularly powerful for Great Axe, Greatsword, Hatchet and S&S users though. It drops from Hepu l'indulgente.

Cerchietto di Baal is an alternative to Heart of Hepu that has Fire Damage instead of Slash Damage, so it is good for Firestaff users. It requires you to have the Corpo di mille balene quest active in order to spawn the mob it drops from, Artigliere Ronaldo. This quest chain starts with Una minaccia in espansione.

Earrings

Portafortuna del ricordo astrale is a good pick-up for Strength users but do not upgrade it to 600 Gear Score, since the Brindisi al mana perk will not benefit you. It drops from Adjorjan.

Invocato dalle due terre is a similar earring but for Dexterity users, and has a better 600 Gear Score upgrade. It drops from Gran sacerdote delle porte gemelle.

Pegno rituale dei tarocchi is an "okay" earring for mages to start with, but you will want to replace it with a better drop as you advance through the endgame. It drops from Kilgoran.
