One of the best things aboutNew World, and the feature that makes it stand out in the myriad of MMORPGs cluttering the playing field these days, is the total lack of any restrictions when it comes to classes. Players build their own unique classes from the ground up, using talent builds and gear combinations, instead of choosing during the initial character creation process.

Solo play inNew Worldis another feature that’s more accessible here than in some other RPG-based MMOs. The game has a strong survivalist angle and it’s easy to level in the wilderness without joining a party. There’s the option of roaming the countryside a lonesome knight doing good, or a hermit dedicated to their solitary life, and all of these options are possible in Aeternum.
Attributes And Skills For Solo Players
Putting together a character build might seem intimidating at first, especially for players who are used to choosing a class at the beginning of the game as opposed to making one as part of the game’s progression. No matter what form the character’s build may take later in the game, here are a few of the Attributes, Skills, and Professions that should be prioritized.
Attributes
The Attributes in New World are the start of every class. For those that are wandering alone, some are more important than others.
Trade Skills

The Survivalist Builds
The Survivalist builds are a common choice for those that travel into the wilds of Aeternum for the benefits of isolation and self-improvement as opposed to profit or adventure. These can be characters with detailed backstories, honing a craft or skill that can only be practiced in isolation, or can have simple motivations like being extremely introverted.
Unlike other MMORPGs, there are no restrictions on how many or which professions that players can take inNew World. Any character can have any profession, and the following are only recommendations based on how efficient they are to gamers that are playing solo.
The Knight Of The Quest Builds
For those that play solo but still want to experience some fun RP, even if it’s just creating a detailed backstory, there’s the figure ofthe noble knight from medieval history. This is the noble hero that wanders the wilderness on a noble quest as opposed to one that rules over and guards a fiefdom. These classes wear heavy armor and can heal themselves, so they’re an ideal choice for a solo player.
