In the world of New World, you can become a powerful alchemist by learning Arcana. This lets you craft all sorts of goodies, from healing potions and magic weapon coatings to powerful tinctures. As you progress through the New World Arcana skill tree, you’ll need to craft more and more items to level up. Get ready to gather materials, find special workshops, and brew up many potions to become a master alchemist!
Arcana in New World
In the New World, you can become an alchemist through the Arcana profession. This lets you craft powerful tools like magic weapons, ranging from basic to legendary quality.
Arcana also allows you to brew various helpful potions that restore health and magic power (mana) and even increase your carrying capacity. You can even create special coatings for your weapons to enhance their effectiveness. But that’s not all! Arcana lets you craft tinctures with various effects and protections against different enemies and even upgrade your raw materials by turning them into stronger versions.
How to Quickly Get Better at Crafting in New World
While becoming a skilled alchemist (Arcana master) in New World takes effort, here’s a straightforward New World Arcana leveling guide to unlocking its combat perks.
Imagine your journey as climbing a tree with several branches. Each branch represents a level range in Arcana. To reach the top (become a master), you’ll need to craft many items in special crafting stations called “arcane repositories” in settlements. Think of these repositories as workshops packed with tools and ingredients. By creating various potions, coatings, and other goodies, you’ll gain experience and climb the Arcana skill tree. Remember, the more you craft, the faster you’ll level up and unlock the full potential of Arcana in battle.
From 0 to 20
Leveling up Arcana can be a breeze! First, head to a settlement and find a special crafting area called an “arcane repository.” Think of it as a workshop with all the tools you’ll need. To kickstart your progress, you’ll need to craft a bunch (99 to be exact) of “Common Corruption Tinctures.”
- 99x Water
- 99x Water Mote
- 99x Rivercress Stem
Note: You don’t have to make 99 Common Corruption Tinctures if you don’t want to. You can choose another tier 2 item to craft at the workshop as long as you make about the same amount, roughly 99.
From 20 to 40
The initial steps of Arcana might seem tricky, but once you hit level 20, you’ll still need the same tier 2 workshop (arcane repository) to level up further. However, you’ll just need to craft a bit more. You can keep making Common Corruption Tinctures, this time aiming for 165. Another option is crafting Common Regeneration Potions – these are health potions that’ll come in handy when gathering materials for your crafting journey.
From 40 to 60
Leveling Arcana gets a bit more interesting around level 20. Think of it like reaching a new area in the game. You’ll need to find a slightly more advanced workshop (tier 2 or 3 arcane repository) and start crafting better items.
Here’s the plan to reach level 50: craft 90 each of Common Angry Earth Coating and Common Blight Tincture. These will give you a good boost, but after level 50, you won’t gain much experience from them anymore. You’ll need to switch to stronger versions of these items to keep climbing the Arcana ladder. For levels 55 to 60, you’ll craft Strong Blight Tinctures and Strong Mana Potions (around 48 each). The ingredients you’ll need are listed below.
| Item | Ingredients |
| Common Angry Earth Coating | Tier 2 Offensive Reagents, Fire Reagents, Oil. |
| Common Blight Tincture | Tier 2 Protective Reagents, Air Reagents, Water |
| Strong Blight Tincture | Tier 3 Protective Reagent, Air Reagents, Water |
| Strong Corruption Tincture | Tier 3 Protective Reagent, Water Reagent, Water |
| Strong Mana Potion | Water, Crystalline Lodestone, Shockbulb Stem |
From 60 to 80
Leveling Arcana beyond 50 gets a bit tougher. Crafting the items you need for experience takes more time and materials. Here’s a tip for faster leveling: Craft a lot (around 329 each) of Strong Mana Potions and Strong Beast Coatings, along with 267 Strong Angry Earth Coatings. But before you jump in, you need to gather all the ingredients you’ll need to craft these advanced items.
| Item | Ingredients |
| Strong Mana Potion | Water, Crystalline Lodestone, Shockbulb Stem |
| Strong Beast Coating | Oil, Fungal Slime, Shockbulb Stem |
| Strong Angry Earth Coating | Fungal Slime, Tendrilspine Fibers |
From 80 to 120
Past level 50, Arcana gets tougher. Gather more materials and potentially visit advanced workshops (tier 3/4). Here’s a simplified plan: craft a massive amount (over 1036!) of Strong Mana Potions until level 110. Then, switch to crafting 129 Powerful Blight Tinctures until level 115. Finally, to reach level 120, create 112 each of Powerful Fire Absorption Potions and Powerful Lost Ward Potions. Below is covered ingredients you’ll need in a separate guide for efficient crafting:
| Items | Ingredients |
| Powerful Fire Absorption Potion | Water, Cod Eye, Shockbulb Stem, Soulsprout Stem |
| Powerful Lost Ward Potion | Water, Cod Eye, Shockbulb Stem, Soulsprout Stem |
| Powerful Blight Potion | Water, Cod Eye, Shockbulb Stem |
From 120 to 160
Almost there, Arcana adventurer! Here’s the final hurdle to reach level 160. You’ll need to craft a ton (2061 each) of Powerful Angry Earth Coating and Powerful Corruption Coating. We’ll provide a separate guide with all the ingredients you’ll need to make this final push as smooth as possible!
| Item | Ingredient |
| Powerful Angry Earth Coating | Animal Eye, Dragonglory Stem, Blightroot Stem, Oil |
| Powerful Corruption Coating | Animal Eye, Rivercress Stem, Blightroot Stem, Oil |
From 160 to 200
Conquering the final stretch to Arcana mastery (level 200) requires crafting a massive amount (6924 each) of Powerful Angry Earth Coating and Powerful Corruption Coating. These are top-tier items, and we’ll provide a separate guide to help you gather the ingredients efficiently. Feel free to explore other crafting options (like using Rivercress Stems or Elemental motes) if you get repetitive, but keep in mind our recommendations offer the most experience and use readily available materials through gathering and trade skills.
