New World Season 10 Guide: Must Things To Do Every Day

Season 10:  Nighthaven has officially arrived in New World: Aeternum, marking one of the most significant updates since launch. Nighthaven brings a dark new region, a 10-player Isle of Night Raid, and deep progression changes that reshape how players earn gear, power, and coins in New World.

From the new procedural expeditions and extraction system to reworked gear-set bonuses, Umbral Shard v2, and enhanced build loadouts, every activity now matters more than ever. Whether you’re a dedicated grinder or a casual player with just a few hours a day, consistency is the key to staying competitive in Season 10.

Below is the complete daily checklist that will keep your character strong, your wallet full, and your progression steady — all achievable within 1 to 3 hours a day.

1. Faction Missions – Tokens, Chromatic Seals & Heart Runes

Begin every day with your three faction missions, taking about 10–15 minutes. These yield around 60 000 faction tokens, which are vital for multiple reasons:

• Buy Chromatic Seals and sell them for instant market profit.
• Unlock the new Heart Rune introduced in Season 10.
• Purchase Faction Gear with powerful early-game perks such as Shirking and Empowering, both still considered BiS for PvP and PvE builds.

Two efficient routes are:

• Elysian Wilds – complete all 3 quests in one area.
• Reekwater Run – a longer loop but higher consistency.

This simple routine provides early income, strong gear, and market materials for crafting or trading.

2. Daily Chest Runs – Top Routes for Infixed Perks & Loot

Chest runs remain the most reliable source of end-game gear and upgrade materials. Here’s how to prioritize them:

Mandatory Runs

• Merc Guard Run: Best route for Infixed Perk Gear (e.g., +20% damage within 10 m for bows). These perks can turn average weapons into one-shot machines.
• Nighthaven Run: New zone chests drop rare infixed weapons and artifacts.

Solo Friendly

• Nightbreaker Roost: Fully soloable (except the final boss). Excellent for players who prefer independent farming.

Most Profitable

• Cutlass Keys Run: The most popular chest run in Season 10 — loaded with valuable gear, materials, and Deloons, used for seasonal purchases.

Optional Routes

• Pools, Siren, and IMP: Good secondary choices. Pools has fewer chests, Siren takes longer, and IMP has a chance to drop a rare Goldfish worth a fortune.

Note: The Pools route is essential if you’re planning to raid — the tentacle boss there can drop the legendary Aenite Bow, one of the strongest DPS weapons this season.

3. The Wishing Well – Easy Gold & Daily Resources

Travel to Cutlass Keys and visit the Wishing Well at the southern edge of the map:

• Purchase a Glittering Golden Key for 5 Deloons to open a chest containing 500 Deloons — instant profit.
• Buy Consumables and Sealed Boxes for free resources like Honing Stones (worth ≈ 300 gold each).
• Open daily stat food boxes and sell items like Banana Parfaits for quick market profits.

This routine saves new world coins and generates extra income with minimal effort.

4. Daily Crafts – Guaranteed Passive Gold

Under your refining professions (Loom, Smelter, etc.), craft your limited-daily materials such as Phoenixweave, Prismatic Cloth, and Asmodeum.

Each batch nets 500 – 2 500 gold, depending on market fluctuations. Even on low-pop servers, these crafts maintain steady value and help fund repairs and gear upgrades.

Skipping them is literally leaving money on the table.

5. Mutated Expeditions – Gold, Gear & Artifacts

Veteran players run Mutations daily for a reason:

• Each clear yields ≈ 1 000 gold (1 500 for tanks/healers).
• Offers a chance to drop rare Artifacts such as Bloodrinker, which adds massive life-steal potential.
• Count on 2 runs per day for maximum return.

These are your core PvE power sources — top gear and steady income in one package.

6. Random Expeditions – Quick Coin Farm

If you still have time, queue for three random expeditions each day. Expect ~1 000 gold per run (again, more for tanks and healers). It’s fast, requires no specific gear, and adds consistent daily income.

7. Trading Market – Simple Passive Profit

Spend five minutes flipping common materials.

Example:

• Check Iron Ingots — if sell orders are 1.80 and buy orders are 1.50, buy low and resell high.

It’s essentially your New World 401k: small daily actions that build long-term wealth.

8. Gypsum Kiln & Golden Cache

At the Gypsum Kiln, open your Cache of Golden Matter for 1 500 gold.
You’ll need 20 Gypsum Orbs, which can be earned from Faction Vendors or the Wishing Well.

Then use Gypsum and refined materials to craft:

• Enchanted Handles
• Armor/Weapon Matrices (selling for 10 000 + gold on many servers)

Craft these daily — they’re in high demand for artifact and weapon upgrades.

9. PvP XP & Faction Tokens – The Great Cleave Method

For players who avoid PvP but want PvP track rewards, head to Great Cleave. Run the three PvP quests on repeat for XP and tokens in a mostly non-aggressive zone. Most players there farm peacefully — fast progress with minimal risk.

10. Arena Dailies – Sweaty but Rewarding

Complete your three daily Arena matches for:

• PvP XP and Salt
• Weekly Chest rewards
• Progress on the PvP Track

Even though it’s competitive, Arena remains a fast way to build both gear and currency.

11. Market Alert – Sell Your Charms Before Prices Crash

Many players are hoarding charms without realizing their temporary value.
Some — like Shirking Heals — currently sell for 7 000 + gold each.
Sell now while demand is sky-high to secure easy profits before supply stabilizes.

Summary – Your 1–3 Hour Daily Routine

Here’s how a productive day in Aeternum should look:

Total time: ≈ 1 – 3 hours daily
Total profit: 8 000 – 12 000 gold + end-game loot potential
