Best Way to 200 Harvesting
Check out our recommended methods to get 200 Harvesting level in New World
0 - 100
HEMP
Find the best spot for hemp farming, and keep picking it up
The fastest and easiest way to get started with Harvesting leveling is to pick up as much Hemp as you can. It usually respawns very quickly so if you find a good spot, just stay there and farm it up.
For the best hemp spots, check out our Hemp Farming guide.
While out spamming hemp, you can also harvest any Farm Plants, Fungi, Magical Creatures, and Magical Plants that you come across.
100 - 175
SILKWEED
Silkweed will give you more harvesting xp, so try to find as much as you can
Once you can harvest these fancy blue glowing plants, you’ll find your Harvesting xp go up a little faster.
For the best areas to find silkweed, check out our Silkweed Farming Guide.
The journey from 100 all the way to 175 feels quite long and boring, but if you stick to as much silkweed-heavy spots as you can, it won’t take too long.
175 - 200
WIREFIBER
Once you hit 175, you won’t need much Wirefiber to level all the way up to 200
After you finally hit 175, the hard work is behind you because the xp you get from harvesting Wirefiber—which is now available to you—makes the last 25 levels fast and easy.
Make sure to check our top spots for Wirefiber farming to make it even easier.
TOOLS
You need a Sickle tool to harvest plants. Depending on your player level, you can equip different quality sickles.
Player lvl 0-2 - Flint Sickle
Player lvl 3-19 - Iron Sickle
Player lvl 16-39 - Steel Sickle
Player lvl 31-59 - Starmetal Sickle
Player lvl 49-60 - Orichalcum Sickle
As your player level increases, consider investing in a better sickle to make your life easier. You can create your own Sickle at the Workshop in town, or buy one from the Auction House.
Try to find one with a few perks on it, as shown above, for added benefits.
PERKS
Any time you come across an item with some perks on it, check to see if there are any to do with harvesting, which might give you a little boost as you run around the world harvesting your plants.
In addition to the ones above, you could also go full Harvest god-mode and cook Harvesting-specific foods that provide a small increase in Luck while harvesting:
Corn
Cornbread
Corn on the Cob
Breakfast Bread
Spicy Steak Pie
This is really not necessary to level harvesting, though—but can be a nice bonus for hardcore harvesters.
BONUSES
While I don’t necessarily think you need a bunch of Perks to start harvesting, I do however think it’s great fun (and also a lot faster) to level your Harvesting skill as an Intelligence Attribute player. The more intelligence you have, the more Harvesting bonuses you receive:
As you can see, the last tier (300 points) provides no Harvesting bonus, so don’t feel obliged to go beyond 250.
The 10% reduction in Azoth travel cost can help you save on the capped resource if you’re zipping around the map a lot, though.
