New World – Repair and Salvage System

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 explore the land of Aeternum, cutting hacking and slashing your way through all your foes at one stage your gear will be either obsolete or needs repairs, do you know how to salvage or repair gears during your quest to gain immortality through Azoth?

Repair System

In order to repair your gear in game, you would need a material named repair parts along with some coin.

Repair parts are unique resource that cannot be traded, sold or purchased in game. The only way you can acquire repair parts is through the salvage system by salvaging gears.

There is a hard cap limit on how much repair cap you can have on you at any one time. The limit is 2,000 Repair Parts.

You will be able to see your repair parts at the bottom in your Inventory next to your coin.

In order to repair your gear, you are able to hover the piece of gear you wish to repair and press R + left click.

Further, if you wish to just repair everything, there is also a convenient “repair all” button that will repair only your equipped gear.

Repair Kits

The other way to repair your gear is by consuming a repair kit. These kits are able to be crafted by using the Engineering trade skill at a appropriate workshop. They are tradable and capable of being placed on the auction house.

There are 4 different tiers to the repair kits, namely

  • Standard (Tier 2)
  • Advanced (Tier 3)
  • Expert (Tier 4)
  • Master (Tier 5)

There is no engineering trade skill level restriction when crafting any of the repair kits, meaning a fresh alt with no engineering skills is capable of crafting Master (Tier 5) as long as they have the required materials.

Salvage System

In New World, during your journey, you will come across ample of gears that are just not useful for you and not worth much at all. They are either lower tiers or aint suitable for your build. Instead of just trashing the gear, it is much better if you salvage them instead. You are able to salvage gear by pressing S and left click (or you can hold CTRL and press S and left click to skip the confirmation prompt).

When you salvage items you will obtain a random amount of the following

  • Repair parts
  • Coin
  • Potential materials based on what you salvaged

Durability System

As you guessed, if you can repair your gears, means there is definitely a durability system. Something very standard in MMORPGs. Below the icon of the item in your equipment screen, you are able to see a quick view durability bar, while hovering over the item will see the current vs total durability along with other stats such as how much it would cost to repair the item.

Unlike other MMORPGs, there is no upper limit how many times you can repair a piece of gear, in addition, there is no such thing as max durability loss of any sorts in New World.
