New World
New World is an sandbox MMORPG developed and published by Amazon Game Studio with a release date of 31 August 28 September 2021. You are stuck on an mysterious but curse island of Aeternum that is full of magic. You have noticed your old crewmates have all been cursed, do you have what it takes to be the master of this world? That means you will have lots of loot and treasures. Do you know where to store them safely while you survive through this 17th century alternative supernatural fiction version of North America and gain immortality through Azoth?
Banking Storage System
In New World, each settlement will have it’s own bank or as New World calls it the Storage Shed. Unlike traditional MMORPGs, these bank are not interconnected which means, they are completely separate until you have them connected. You are able to find the location of your personal storage bank locations by using the default hotkey “M”. The Storage Shed is represented by a box/chest on the map.
The Storage Shed is just another fancy name they used, the function is the same as any other MMORPG out there. As of current, in New World, there is no such item or possibility to access the storage shed without standing right next to it. This means, you cannot access storage sheds from another settlement unless you are at it’s storage shed.
The biggest difference between New World’s storage system compared to another traditional MMORPG would be that the storage capacity is not based on the number of items you store or bank slots but rather, the weight. Another game that comes into mind that has a system similar would be Albion Online.
Localized Storage System
As briefly touched earlier, the storage shed from each settlement is separate. For example, if you were attempting to craft an Amrine Tuning Orb and remembered that you left 50 Stone Block into the storage shed at Reckwater but you are currently at Windsward. Even though you can access the storage shed for the items in Windsward, you won’t be seeing those 50 Stock Blocks you left at Reckwater. The only exception to this rule is when it’s two settlements that are controlled temporary by the same faction. During this period, the settlement storages are linked and players are able to access items from the other settlements for a in-game coin (gold) fee.
Increase Storage Capacity
It is possible to increase your storage weight capacity in each of the settlements. You are able to do so by choosing the storage capacity bonus when you level up your settlement reputation. Just do remember, this is not a global increase but for every storage location in each settlement.
