How To Craft Gear Score Items in New World (Minimum&Maximum).When you approach the endgame in New World, getting the highest Gear Score on all of your items is going to be your major goal. Mastering a crafting Trade Skill is one method to do this. You can employ Armoring, Weaponsmithing, Engineering, Arcana, and Jewelcrafting to make high-end goods if you have all the proper perks. With the help of a few equipment and perks, you can impact your overall gear score. This guide will show you how to construct the highest possible Gear Score items in New World, as well as everything you’ll need to do it.
It’s worth noting that this procedure only applies to the most common items you can make, such as tools like the Orichalcum Mining Pick and armour like the Orichalcum Plate Breastplate. Rare or “named” crafting station goods come with a predetermined gear score that you can’t change. When making an item, pay attention to the Potential Gear Score, which is placed on the upper right-hand side of the crafting window.
To craft maximum Gear Score items in New World, you will need to influence your gear score by using the following:
- Maximum crafting skill level
- Epic primary, secondary, and tertiary materials
- Crafting gear perks
- Trade skill food
- Trophies
- Town Project Board bonuses
| Minimum Gear Score | Maximum Gear Score | |
| Base | 500 | 500 |
| Trade Skill Level | 0 | +25 |
| Epic Materials | +45 | +45 |
| Gear Perks | +15 | +15 |
| Trade Skill Food | +15 | +15 |
| Trophies | +15 | 0 |
| Town Project Buffs | +5 | 0 |

Crafting Skill Level Maximum
Tier V base goods have a 500 Gear Score without any adjustments. The overall maximum Gear Score level is influenced by 25 when you have a maximum crafting skill level.
Epic Materials
You’ll need primary, secondary, and tertiary materials for each item you make. Using epic versions in these slots increases the total maximum and minimum gear scores by 45 points (15 per material).
Examples of epic crafting materials in New World include:
- Metal – Asmodeum
- Leather – Runic Leather
- Wood – Glittering Ebony
- Cloth – Phoenixweave
Crafting Gear Perks
With the right crafting bonus perk, you can acquire a set of armour that includes a helm, chest, gloves, shoes, pants, and an earring. An engineer, for example, will check for Engineering Expertise on all pieces of equipment. Each piece grants a +2 minimum and maximum Gear Score, with the exception of the Earring, which can award a mastery perk for a +5 minimum and maximum Gear Score. When all factors are taken into account, your overall minimum and maximum Gear Score for a specific crafting profession increases to +15.
For example, you can go to a Trading Post and look for products that read “Armorer Expertise” and “Armorer Mastery.” Select the perk that corresponds to the Trade Skill you’re employing from the perks filter.
Trade Skill Food
You’ll also want to produce or buy the appropriate trade skill for your chosen job and eat it. Herb-Crusted Vegetables, for example, is a Tier V food that boosts the minimum and maximum Gear Score of produced Engineering items by 15. Each dish has a 40-minute shelf life, allowing you plenty of opportunity to experiment with its effects. All of the Tier V Trade Skill foods that affect Gear Score are listed below:
- Herb-Crusted Vegetables – Engineering
- Glazed Melon Bread – Jewelcrafting
- Savory Vegetable Medley – Weaponsmithing
- Sweet Wild Berry Infusion – Arcana
- Spicy Cabbage Soup – Armoring

Trophies
Using trophies in all three of your houses is another way to boost the Gear Score of making things. Each house can have one trophy per trade skill, therefore if you have three houses, using a Major Crafting Skill trophy in each of them will give you a total of +15 to the minimum Gear Score for that trade skill.
Town Project Board
Finally, enhancements from the Town Project Board might help you improve your crafted item gear score. You can visit the town hall in any community where you own a home and interact with the Territory Planning Board (the big map). To view which buffs are now active, go to Improved Lifestyle. Ideally, you should wait until your trade skill’s relevant bonus is active before using it. Armorers, for example, will want Armorer’s Inspiration because it provides a +5 minimum Gear Score benefit.
With all of the above bonuses, gear, and buffs active, your made goods may have a Gear Score of 595-600. So that’s how you make stuff with the highest Gear Score in New World.
