New World Season Pass Guide: Season 3
Season 3 is here!
Along with all the new content the Rise of the Angry Earth expansion provides, we also have a new Season 3 pass. There is no Season questline this time around, instead the Journey revolves around the new expansion.
After noticing the difference in the speed players were able to complete seasons, we’ve included a guide on how to level Season XP quickly using Activity Cards. We also list all the tasks for the Journey Chapters and Challenges, and have marked the ones we think are easiest to complete. Finally, we have a list of all the Rewards, so you can look ahead and see what you’d like to get, and whether you think the Premium track is worth it for you.
There have been some significant changes made to Activity Cards this Season, but they are still the best way to level your Season Pass quickly. You now require 4 stamps before you can hand the card in, but we are given Bonus Stamps to use which more than make up for it. Instead of handing the cards in as soon as you can, use the bonus stamps to fill the cards for bonus XP
Using Bonus Stamps
You get bonus stamps while playing the game, as well as by completing a line on your Activity Card. If you strategically place your stamps, you can use the extra bonus from the line to make another line, until the whole card is filled. It’s still worth optimising task combos to get the stamps on faster but you can also just do this by checking the card as you go about your regular activities.
Some good Task combos
- Kill Enemies with Bows and Guns + Kill Enemies in Two-Handed Combat + Skin Tier 5 Animals + Gather Tier 5 Resource Nodes
- Kill Beasts + Kill Scorpions + Kill Enemies with Magic + Kill Enemies in the Beds of Ta-Bitjet
- Close 1 Minor Breach + Kill Corrupted + Kill Enemies in One-Handed Combat
You get the idea. You should supply yourself with 4 weapons – 1-handed, 2-handed, a magic weapon and a bow or gun. Look for places close to fast travel shrines to reduce time taken. You can quite often stay in one place for a few cards.
Of course, activities are not always going to align perfectly. Just do the best with what you have and reroll if you need to.
Some Easy Tasks
- Craft Gypsum Orbs – save your gypsum and craft one orb each time this comes up
- Complete Town Project Missions – if you carry some potions, food and bait on you, these can be often be instantly completed.
- Play songs. If you play Call of the Ancients Second Flute, it’s very quick and easy
- Participate in Duels. If you have a friend, you can do this very quickly.
- Craft Tier 5 Consumables. If you make your own consumables anyway, just do them 10 at a time when this comes up.
- Refine 50 Tier 5 Resources. If you gather and refine anyway, just refine your Tier 5 resources 50 at a time.
- Use Tier 5 coatings. This can be a bit expensive, so it’s up to you whether you have more time or money.
- Loot 1 Elite Chest. There are a few elite chests at locations close to fast travel shrines, such as the two near Wurmsign Obelisk.
For the PVPers
If you prefer PVP, you can still get a few tasks done in Outpost Rush.
- Participate in Outpost Rush
- Get Killing Blows on Enemies in Outpost Rush
- Kill 10 Corrupted
- Kill 10 Angry Earth
- Kill 10 Beasts
- Gather 5 Tier 5 Resource nodes
- Gather 500 Resources
- Skin 10 Tier 5 Animals
The best XP can be earned via the Journey. You get from 850 to 3000 XP per Task and 4500 for completing a Chapter. You don’t need to do every Task to complete a Chapter, so once again you should focus on the easier ones to complete.
Doing the Expansion Questline is a good way to pick up some of the Chapter tasks, as well as the rewards from the Quest itself. Many of the tasks are cumulative, so the 10 Town Projects you did in Chapter 2 also contribute to the 25 in Chapter 4.

The Season Pass has a range of rewards available for you as you level. You get the rewards on the Free track simply by earning Season XP, but will need to pay 20,000 Marks of Fortune to access the Premium Track Rewards. If you buy the Premium Track after you have already levelled some or all of the Season Pass, you will get the rewards for all the levels you have completed.
Dense materia is quite valuable this Season, as it is new and it can be used to craft 700GS items with two guaranteed perks and one random. There is Dense Materia for each of the 60+ expedition chests, plus a lot of Dense Mutator Materia in the last pages of the Season track.
Some interesting reward totals for completing the Pass:
- Artifacts – 2 Free track
- 1 Armor Matrix – Free track
- 1 Jewelry Matrix – Premium track
- Marks of Fortune – 2500 Free track + 5000 Premium track
- Transmog Tokens – 1 Free track + 2 Premium track
