New World update 1.5.5 will soon go live, and with this new patch, Amazon Game Studios attempts to implement a number of balance changes to the PvP mode.
It’s been a while since the Areanas mode is live in New World, inviting players to challenge their builds and characters against other players for valuable rewards. However, it seems the amount and quality of rewards need more refining as Amazon Game Studios has changed the rewards PvP matches.
Following a decrease in the amount of rewards, now Amazon Games Studios is buffing the PvP Areanas outcome in both Salt and XP points. Down below, you can check out the latest changes in PvP Arenas:
New World Update 1.5.5 Changelog and Patch Notes
- Players will now receive more PvP XP and Azoth Salt in PvP Arenas. The number of rounds won grants players the following rewards every match:
- 0: 350 XP, 75 salt
- 1: 600 XP, 150 salt
- 2: 750 XP, 350 salt
- 3: 1000 XP, 500 salt
- We added a new type of Gypsum only obtainable in PvP Arenas – Garnet Gypsum. Players can earn up to 2 Garnet Gypsum per day. It takes one Garnet Gypsum to craft a Gypsum Orb. The number of rounds won grants players the following drop rates each match:
- 0: 1 Garnet (50% chance)
- 1: 1 Garnet (50% chance)
- 2: 1 Garnet (50% chance)
- 3: 1 Garnet (100% chance)
- Fixed an issue that caused specific interactions with some objects to prevent progress in the main story questline.

When Does New World Server Maintenance Begin?
According to an official blog post by Amazon Game Studios, New World servers will go down on June 28 at 11 pm PT or June 29 at 2 am ET/6 am UTC/7 am BST/8 am CEST/4 pm AEST. Unfortunately, there is no estimated time on when we can expect the servers to get back online, but you can expect at least 2 hours of downtime.
During the maintenance, you won’t have access to any online features in New World, which means you can’t connect to any of the worlds. Once the maintenance is over, you can start downloading the update and resume your adventure in Aeternum.
