The Best Places to Farm Silver in New World
Find out the recommended spots for Silver Vein in New World, with different locations to suit every playstyle.
Silver Vein
Look out for regular-looking grey rocks with a hint of silvery shine in them. That’s silver!
What Silver is used for in New World
Silver is used to make jewelry at the Outfitting Station (rings, earrings, and necklaces) as well as certain weapons at the Workshop, Arcane Repository, and Forge.
First, the Silver Ore is used at the Smelter to create Silver Ingots, which can either be used to make low-level jewelry and weapons, or upgraded to Gold Ingots—and subsequently Platinum Ingots.
If you plan on being a jewelry maker in New World, you are going to need boat loads of silver to do it. So knowing the best areas for efficient farming will help you make those high-price items.
How To Find the Best Mining Areas
Once you’re in your favorite area, bring up the Map (press M by default) and take notice of the different colors on the map surface. For mining, we’re looking for the light brown areas of the map—so the bigger the patch of brown you see, the greater chance you’ll have of finding large amounts of mining nodes.
This method is usually accurate, however some silver mine areas are not quite inside the brown areas on the map. Nevertheless, there is usually at least a few silver veins in every brown area of the map. But we’ll take a look at the best spots below.
Top Silver Vein Farming Areas
Below are favorite spots for farming silver. They are packed full of nodes, even when several other players have the same plan as you do. If a particular route doesn’t work for you, then try different spots on the map until you find what works best for you.
BEST OVERALL
Everfall
This is by far the easiest place to find a large concentration of silver mines. They are all pretty much on the same level, so no rock climbing involved here. This area is in the middle of an enemy npc camp, however, but they’re only level 15 mobs and are not any issue to deal with once you’re higher level.
BEST ALTERNATIVE
Cutlass Keys
If you’re looking for a long line of silver to run through and collect, this route in Cutlass Keys is the way to go. You will run into a few wild animals and other enemies along the way, though, but at higher levels they are easy to dispatch.
Also, if you start running down the left-hand side first, you can jump down the cliffs to collect the rest—instead of having to go around the cliffs if you start in another direction.
BEST FOR ROCK CLIMBERS
Weaver’s Fen
If you’d rather avoid any mobs chasing you while you farm, then you’ll perhaps prefer a bit of rock climbing. This area to the north-east of Weaver’s Fen has virtually no enemies, but plenty of silver to mine. Some of them will take a bit of climbing to get to, though.
There are also several more locations that you may find less crowded on your server. Using this map tool you can find anything you’d like to collect in New World. All the credit goes to the creator of this fantastic resource.
