Greetings, Adventurers!
New World Update 1.5.1 downtime will begin at 11PM PT (6AM UTC) on May 31. This weekly update features fixes for PvP, some weapons fixes, and more. Find the full list of changes below.
Umbral Shards, Gems, and Repair Kits can no longer be dragged directly from Storage onto equipped items. This should prevent instances where upgrading shows you the wrong amount of available shards.

Ice Gauntlet — Entombed: Fixed an issue where this ability did not receive the correct healing reduction in Arenas.
Bow: Fixed an issue that caused charged bow shots to have reduced accuracy.

Fixed an issue that allowed players to
