Best Weapon & Gear Perks For Your Build In New World
1. Bow Perks
Like for most weapons, get one of these three perks called the Keen, Enchanted or Vicious, getting at least one of them on your weapon is already good, but getting two of these perks on one weapon is basically like having a god weapon and it is technically possible to get on 600 item power weapons of these three perks. But it's super rare. So having something like chain void perk or even the corrupted bane perk is a nice thing to have as an additional third slot.
Ring: Get a keen awareness perk and if possible then the poison perk as well most likely if you're using the bow on one of the three abilities you have chosen to beat the poison shot.
Gear: For one of the best and most common gear perks you can find is enfeebling poison shot which when using poison shot ability applies to weaken effect on your target which reduces his damage by 14%. Then second of all, for all of your gear like for all the builds you want to get resilient and invigorated perk.
Amulet: Get the health perk that will give you more maximum health.
2. Rapier Perks
Get the keen enchanted or vicious perk, but if you get at least one of them on your weapon and with the decent perks like leeching flurry or keenly jagged, then that weapon will still be very good.

Lastly, like most of the builds, no matter what type of armor you're running, you want to get resilient and invigorated perk on your gear.

Tips For Perks & How Perk System Works In New World
The perks on your weapon are 100% perks that will work with no matter what weapon or abilities you are using. But then the gear perks are different and some perks are global which will work in general and then there are some other perks specifically meant for specific abilities.
For example, resilient or invigorated perk will give you less critical damage from other players, any weakened disease or exhaust that other players do to you will expire 7.5% faster. But on the other hand when we have these specific perks for the bow, we have enfeebling poison shot perk and this perk only works if you're using the bow and specifically the poison shot ability. So before getting perks, make sure that each perk works with the specific abilities that you have chosen for your weapon.
How To Get The Best New World Perks

First click on the price arrow and the most expensive weapons and gear will show up. So if you can look up and see for your specific weapon or gear, what perks are selling for the highest. For example, go to the weapon section and then click on the shield section and you then know what are the best perks, so you can scroll down to the items that you want to buy or on the other hand you can do is click on the spark tab and you can select the perks that you want to look for.
