New World Aeternum: Archetypes Explained (Class System)

Here's a closer look at what "Archetypes" are in New World Aeternum.

Please note: These are NOT permanent - they are just a new way to help you get used to the overall combat experience in New World and give you a quick look at some of the most "common" builds.

PS: The tradeskills that your archetype get boosts for allow you to instantly get lvl 50 in that specified skill!

For people here at console launch in October, the Goid Gauntlet (and therefore the class that starts with it) has a level 1 ability that turns it from ranged to melee basic attacks, with a level 2 passive that gives you a 20% armor boost on activation of Melee mode.

I was just pleasantly surprised.

[badboyshanker]

Very excited for it to come to console, As a console player there isn't much mmorpg to choose from

[darthdeem]

Thanks for explaining this. I can’t wait to play and get real busy

[EtareNeged]

Almost makes me want to hop back in game. Thanks

[Savvvo]

PSA: Don’t worry - you are NOT locked into what you select as your starting archetype - it just helps you get used to the combat and some popular builds this far.

The TRADE SKILL buffs for these automatically start you at level 50 in the respective skills.

Existing players - what do you think about this new setup? I kinda like it, but can see it causing confusion for sure.

Thanks for the informative video, you got my sub!
I played it on pc at launch and enjoyed it for the most part, me and my buddy super excited for it to come to console.

[HowTo-ChatGPT]

Great overview on archetypes - I still don't know what to choose. Maybe punisher?

[golden]

Thank you, still dont know who to pick but atleast im a little wiser.

Hatchet used to be able to take 5 levels in Berzerk and be good to go until dang near cap!

[SaltyRobb]

I noticed something I have not heard anyone mention. The armor weight that your archetype starts in decides the armor weight of quest rewards.
I chose the Soldier to get the S&S and Hatchet, but he comes wearing heavy armor. The first little village I came to I bought a set of light armor (and wore light armor the rest of the beta). Every quest reward that gave armor gave me heavy armor. So either I am incredibly unlucky or the archetype armor weight is tied to quest rewards. Not a big deal, but it would have been nice to know. Instead of 26 levels of "Crap another heavy piece". If it is that way they should consider changing it to giving whatever armor weight you were wearing when you did the quest, not what your archetype was wearing 25 levels ago.

Been waiting for this to come to console for awhile cant wait to play. I have no idea what i am gonna play but i am looking forward to experiencing it all ! Thanks for the video ! Also is this community toxic or whats the deal ?

[Courth]

Looking forward to playing this on Xbox!!

3:49 New World had Transmogs? Bet I always wanted to play this but my pc is poo. Now I can since it’s on console

[mattanYT]

Man i wish they added dual spec to the game so i could spec into being a lifestaff healer but then respec into sword and shield tank if we need a tank more.

[fzoid]

Tbh. the only thing I rate these starter builds on are their skins.
Swordbearer > Destroyer > Soldier
I don't really like the others.

[wherethemilkiesat]

Lookin at destroyer since I have always loved blunt style weapons. As someone who has never played new world, please tell me you can’t dye the head piece white 😂

[christiannj]

So im very weird but long story short, i wanna be good damage but also be able to be a solo player, i wanna be a tank and have high damage, more dmg then tank but like the best way is, i want the best build for a 1v1 fight in a sense. any recommendations, im thinking destroyer, soldier, or sword bearer, which would u think would be the best for a 1v1 good dmg and good tank ability.

[josephsparacio]

Can someone help me with my question? I have the original New World game and I’m level 53 and I think can only level up to 60. I want to buy Aternum and other DLC but I read that if I buy those expansions my original game will disappear and I can’t play the original game. Is that true?

[davidhayes]

Looking forward to game coming to console.
