Season 6 Season Pass Guide

Season

Updated:

December 24, 2024

Welcome to The Season of Opportunity

We finally have a new Season, after waiting through a very long Season 5. This time, our objectives are focused around the up-levelled Cutlass Keys zone, the Raid, and the PVP zone. There is also a short questline to pick up in Cutlass Keys and lots of repeatable quests, so it’s worth having a look around to see what’s changed.

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. 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.

Activity Cards and how to level fast

Stamping activity cards can be a fun mini-game, especially with the addition of the Bonus Stamps and incentive to find the most efficient way to use them. Filling a whole card is extremely satisfying!

Make sure to keep an eye on your Activity Card and Bonus Stamps. If you have 3 bonus stamps available, you may as well use one, so you can accumulate another. You don’t need to be a slave to the activities, but if you notice an easy one on your list, you may as well do it to keep your Season XP moving along.

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.

You should be able to fill a card using Bonus Stamps, once you have about 5-6 activities stamped off.

Some good Task combos

There are a few new tasks this season. Completing a quest seems a bit bugged and just completes itself sometimes, so that’s a bonus. Spending time in Cutlass Keys generally clocks up a few stamps, with specific tasks to kill named enemies or loot chests in the zone.

There’s a super fast way to get Activity Cards ticking over in Cutlass Keys, outlined in this helpful post by PlumpyGnome on the /newworldgame subreddit. This is a high-end zone so you’ll need to be level 65 to take advantage.

One easy place to get named enemies, corrupted, and weapon kill quests is the farm near Duskmeadow Shrine in Everfall. There are three low-level named mobs that are easy to kill.

Stacking multiple kill and weapon type objectives together works well. If you choose a low-level area, you can complete the kills more quickly. There’s an extra task for healing, so it’s worth using a Lifestaff.

Kill Enemies with Bows and Guns + Kill Enemies in Two-Handed Combat + Skin Tier 5 Animals + Gather Tier 5 Resource Nodes can be done at any T5 animal spawn location.
Kill Beasts / Ancients / Humans + Kill Enemies with Magic / 1-Handed Melee / 2-Handed Melee / Bow or Guns + Kill Enemies in Great Cleave
Close 1 Minor Breach + Kill Corrupted + Kill Enemies in One-Handed Combat + Kill Enemies in Two-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

Heal 5000 damage – if you equip a Life Staff and Void Gauntlet, you can stand in your own Sacred Ground and drain/heal your life with the Void Gauntlet.
Complete Town Project Missions – if you carry some resources, 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. Get yourself a buff at the same time.
Participate in Duels. If you have a friend, you can do this very quickly.
Loot 1 Elite Chest. There are a few elite chests at locations close to fast-travel shrines, such as the two near Wurmsign Obelisk.
Craft Gypsum Orbs – save your gypsum and craft one orb each time this comes up
Salvage Tier 5 items. Level 65 PVE players will have an endless supply of these.
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.

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 with weapon type
Kill Corrupted / Angry Earth / Beasts
Gather Tier 5 Resource nodes
Gather Resources
Skin Tier 5 Animals

Remember to take the time between (or during) matches to stamp your card, so it progresses to the next one.

The Journey

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 Season Questline is an easy 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 4 PvP Arena matches you won in Chapter 2 also contribute to the 20 you need in Chapter 5.

The Rewards

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 leveled some or all of the Season Pass, you will get the rewards for all the levels you have completed. You get 5k marks back from the Premium track, so the net cost is 15,000 Marks of Fortune.

Furniture rewards have been completely removed this season, which I think is probably a good thing. I was worried that all the rare furniture would end up as BoP schematics eventually. Transmog tokens have been increased, probably to make up for taking them out of Elite chests. There’s not much dense mutator material, not even enough to make a single item. And it seems weird to put an Azoth Inductor in when I don’t think anyone is going to spend that many prismatic mats to craft 700GS any more.

Some interesting reward totals for completing the Pass:

4 Chromatic Seals – 2 Premium, 2 Free track
1 Azoth Inductor – Premium
Artifacts – 2 Free track
1 Armor Matrix – Free track
1 Weapon Matrix – Premium
1 Jewelry Matrix – Premium
Transmog Tokens – 4 Premium, 3 Free track
Marks of Fortune – 2500 Free track + 5000 Premium
Gold Coins – 2500 Free track + 15000 Premium
Dungeon-specific Dense Materia – 3000 per 60+ expedition – Free track
Dense Mutator Materia – 2000 – Free track
Faction Tokens – 25000 Free track + 60000 Premium
Vials of Azoth Salt – 4 Free track + 12 Premium
Emotes – 2 Premium
Skins – 14 Free + 15 Premium
