New World (Patch 1.3) PTR Update: How To Get Umbral Shards & 625 Gear Score

1/10/2022 2:42:32 PM

How do the brand new umbral system and max gear score of 625 actually work in the New World January update that we'll be seeing towards the end of January here? This stuff is taken from the New World PTR update. In this New World umbral shards guide, we are going to talk about how many shards you actually do need to get from 600 to 625 in New World Patch 1.3,  what the fastest way to do it is, and any other sources other than the mutated dungeons themselves which actually drop you the shards. 


How To Obtain Umbral Shards In New World January PTR

1. The brand new mutations are going to be your best way to get shards in Patch 13. New World. They do give you quite a lot and the earlier levels are not so much as the higher levels by any means. It just goes up quite exponentially when you do get some of these higher-tier expeditions or higher mutation levels. When you get to level 7 onwards, you're getting a lot more. When you hit level 9 onwards, it's double anything before 2.6k and above as a minimum. So if you can get up there on a weekly cycle, you're looking very good.  


2. Obviously, you can get shard as well from crafting gear at 600 gear score when you were already 600 expertise on that item. So for example, if you crafted a gray tax that was gear score 600 when you already had an expertise at 600 for that item, it will give you some umbral shards from that as well. Then on top of this opening gypsum casts for anything that you have an expertise of 600 or above for will also give you gypsum.

 

What Are Gypsum Casts & Gypsum Orbs In New World January PTR

Gypsum cast gives you gypsum casts and per level, it depends on what your expertise level is at. Once you have 600 expertise in January PTR update New World, gypsum casts stop giving expertise bumps and instead award umbral shards. So every time you increase something with umbral shards, as you go further up you get more and more. 620 plus is where you want to be getting the most out of these. If you do get something to 625, then you are able to get 200 every time you make a cast for that item. Ideally, you can get a few per day, so once you get a full set, you'll be able to easily get your amulets, jewelry, and weapons done. When you do focus on one thing to 625, you will be able to get more umbral shards per time that you cast that. It does mean the more the higher you get with something, the more you get back.

 

How To Craft Umbral Shards In New World January Patch

When you have an expert level with the item every single time, you craft one, you will get shards for that. As soon as you get to 610, it starts to be much more worth it. If you craft something at 625, that is going to be your biggest. These don't give you a huge amount up until you get to 622 plus. Once you get to 622, you get 50 and then 60 on 623. 624, you get 70, and then 625 you get 85. If you are going to be crafting your way for someone's umbral shards, you want to be getting up to at least 621 on a gear score of something that you can craft. The best thing you can do is focus on something to craft and then make the gypsum cast based around because that gives you the double whammy at the best amount. Basically, as you progress through the mutated expeditions, the higher levels you get to, you will get more in New World Jauary Patch.

 

New World Muted Expeditions Umbral Drops In January PTR

Bronze, silver, and gold are the tiers that you can get once you do complete the mutated expedition. These are based on how many mobs you've killed inside it, how many of the named mobs you've killed. And it's pretty easy to kill mobs all because you have to progress. But places like genesis where you can go back and choose optionally whether to kill certain mobs or not, you're going to get more points. If you do that but it is also then timed and you also lose points every time you do a respawn. Team wipes lose you a massive amount of points and time. Therefore, the best thing you need is a good team. 

 

Mutation Level - Bronze - Silver - Gold

1 - 27 - 333 - 40 

2 - 40 - 50 - 60

3 - 53 - 67 - 60

4 - 80 - 100 - 120

5 - 133 - 167 - 200

6 - 533 - 667 - 800

7 - 1000 - 1250 - 1500

8 - 1333 - 1667 - 2000

9 - 2677 - 3333 - 4000

10 - 4000 - 5000 - 6000

 

The first two are the same difficulty then level 3, 4 and 5 are the same difficulty in New World January Patch 1.3. The difference in the difficulty is the first couple you just get the mutation. So take hellfire for example was the dynasty one this week. But there's frost nature and void variants as well. Then by the second one, you also get enemy buffs. So they'll have extra health, extra damage, etc, and then when you get up to this 30 which 7 above. They have also curses on the player, so when you've got the lowest hp randomly, you will catch fire in an aoe environment or chain fire. When you get to 9 and 10, you have two curses so as well as the chain fire. You'll also get something that gives everybody a debuff that only the person with the active chain fire can cleanse.

 

If you actually managed to get to mutation level 7 which is no small feat by any means. But getting up there, you well into the thousands. You do want to get to at least one level per week. If you are trying to graph these out because it jumps from 200 at gold to 533 at bronze. Without a doubt that you are going to want to make sure you get on those. When you hit start to hit mutation level 6, 7, and 8 the first curses, and then mutation level 9 and 10 the elites get the second curses. 9 does do a huge jump again from 2000 at gold onto your eight from going up to now you get 2677 on the bronze and with that, you can get something all the way up to a full six to five gear set just from getting a bronze. 


If you do manage to get there one week and you're able to run that dungeon even if you're just getting bronze, you're just managing to finish it but not getting silver or gold that is absolutely fine, because you will be getting a lot of these umbral shards. To max it out, you do need 2 500 in order to get something from 600 to 625. Getting the bronze on that will allow you to do that in one run which is really good. If you are able to get silver or gold or indeed even get to the nutty level 10 where you're getting 4k per bronze, 5k for silver, and 6k for gold, you're going to be doing your full set in two or three runs, if you are able to get to that level and at least pass in the bronze ones. But it is pretty crazy in New World ptr January update.
