New World Harvesting Leveling Guide|How to Level up Harvesting in New World.Harvesting, along with Fishing, Logging, Mining, and Skinning, is one of the five gathering skills in New World. It’s also one of the trickier skills to master. You may frequently find yourself venturing into new territory, unable to harvest certain plants due to your level of skill. But don’t worry, because we’ve got some pointers and tricks to help you improve your plant-picking abilities. In this New World Harvesting leveling guide, we’ll show you some routes and tips for quickly leveling harvesting.
We’ll go over a few examples of harvesting routes in the New World below. Furthermore, we will look at how to obtain harvesting bonuses for your character so that you can harvest more efficiently and level the skill as quickly as possible.

Leveling Route for New World Harvesting
Windsward
Western Windward is the best location in New World for leveling harvesting. We’ll be gathering Hemp, Herbs, Rivercrest, Fronded Petalcap, and whatever else we can find.
Set your recall point to Windsward and enter the Spirit Shrine near The Hermit to travel quickly. When your bags are full, you can return to Windsward, store or sell your harvest, and return to harvesting by running back or fast travelling to the Spirit Shrine. Consider purchasing the Azoth Extraction perk for your sickle to compensate for the high travel costs.
When you figure out the timing for the Windsward route, you’ll notice that most of the plants you harvested will respawn by the time you make another loop. This means you can keep going down this path until you reach your desired harvesting level. Put your own spin on this route to make it even more efficient for your goals.
How to Get New World Harvesting Bonuses
In New World, there are four ways to obtain passive harvesting bonuses and perks:
- Attributes
- Gear
- Trophies
- Territory Standing
- Food
Attributes
Intelligence is a great stat for focusing-leveling the harvesting skill for those who use caster weapons. The following are the harvesting bonuses available for putting points into the Intelligence attribute in New World:
- 50 Intelligence – +10% Harvest Speed
- 100 Intelligence – +5% Chance for 1 Azoth when Harvesting
- 150 Intelligence – -10% Weight of Harvested Items
- 200 Intelligence – +10% Harvest Speed
- 250 Intelligence – +10% Yield from Harvesting
Gear
Gear is another great way to boost your harvesting stats. The main thing you’ll need is a good sickle, which is the tool you’ll need to harvest any plants in Aeternum. You can go to the Trading Post and sort by sickles. On your sickle, look for the following benefits:
- Horticulture Discipline – Gain 3 to 9.4% more Harvesting experience
- Harvesting Luck – Gain 5 to 9.5% chance at finding rare items while Harvesting
- Azoth Extraction – Gain a chance to acquire 1 Azoth when Harvesting
- Harvesting Yield – Harvesting yields 10 to 19% more resources
Horticulture Discipline and Azoth Extraction are the two best levelling perks. Harvesting Yield can be beneficial to farming, but it will cause your bags to fill up faster, requiring you to return to town more frequently.
If you want to make some quick money, however, you can get Harvesting Yield and Harvesting Luck. At the Trading Post, you can sort by perks by clicking on the Perks button and selecting the appropriate one.
Depending on your level, use the highest level sickle you can find. A good one can usually be found for a low price at a Trading Post, and you should upgrade to Steel, Startmetal, and Orichalcum sickles as soon as possible.
You can also craft a good sickle at any Workshop and use the special resources listed below to gain the bonus perks:
- Steel Botanist’s Charm – Horticulture Discipline
- Starmetal Botanist’s Charm – Harvesting Luck
- Orichalcum Botanists Charm – Harvesting Yield
Trophies
You can gain a small bonus by displaying a Harvesting Gathering Trophy if you own a house in New World. Trophies can be made in the Workshop, and the Minor Harvesting Gathering Trophy requires the following items:
- Lumber x25
- Steel Ingot x20
- Maple Stain x1
- Water Mote x25
- Workshop Tier 3
- Furnishing Skill Lv. 75

Territory Positioning
Another good way to boost harvesting speed and overall gathering speed is to invest your territory standing points in Gathering Speed. Depending on how many points you put into it, this will increase your gathering speed by a percentage.
Open your map, zoom out, click on a territory, and look at the right side of the screen to see what perks are available to you. Look for the Territory Standing Bonuses section. Take note of any bonuses your faction receives for gaining control of the territory.
Food
To improve your harvesting skills, you can prepare a variety of foods in the Kitchen or Cooking Station. Corn-based recipes, such as Cooked Corn and Cornbread, are examples of this.
- Cooked Corn – Increases your Luck when harvesting by 1000 for 20 minutes.
- Cornbread – Increases your Luck when harvesting by 1400 for 25 minutes.
There are probably many more higher-tier corn items that do the same thing, but I haven’t unlocked them yet.
