Weaving Trade Skill Guide for New World

Weaving in New World: Aeternum is an essential trade skill that allows players to refine raw fibers into valuable cloth, which is critical when crafting useful items like bags, armor, and more. Given the nature of ggathering and refining these materials, this trade skill is closely tied to Harvesting, Engineering and Armoring.

Mastering the Weaving trade skill not only provides you access to crucial crafting materials, but also offers players massive gold-making opportunities by producing extremely sought-after fabrics (which is required when crafting high-end armor).

In this guide, we'll walk you through everything you need to know about Weaving, including how to get started, efficient leveling strategies, how to make gold with this trade skill, and more.

Wireweave is the required refining reagent for Weaving, and it is needed when trying to craft up your materials. It is highly recommended that you submit buy orders on the Trading Post if you're planning on maxing out this trade skill, as it will allow you to bulk-up on the required wireweave reagents in the most cost-effective way.

Weaving is a fairly simple skill to level up: the most experience you can acquire is from the highest tier materials you can craft, so always craft up for maximum experience. However, you can take a cheaper route and continue to only craft the lower materials which are extremely useful and can still sell for plenty of gold, as many players would rather just buy those lower level resources than farm them themselves.

Below is a table of refined resources you can create with Weaving, which includes the materials needed to craft them, and how much experience each provides.

There are a range of ways on how you can make gold with the Weaving trade skill. For starters, the high-end cloths that you'll be crafting will be extremely sought-after, and you'll be able to make a direct profit off of these most of the time simply by selling them via the in-game trade chat of Trading Post.

Another method is to utilize your actual high-level Weaving skill as your advantage, and charge other players for you to weave their raw ingredients. If you have all of the necessary Weaving gear, and are max level, you will likely gain more "bonus" crafts, making the Weaving process more valuable.

Additionally, if you haven't used your daily cooldown for the high-end cloths (such as Prismatic Cloth), you can sell your "cooldown" in a way, where a player would provide you with the ingredients necessary to craft 10 Prismatic Cloth, as well as some gold (for you), in exchange for you to craft the cloth, and return the finished product.
