What are PVP quests in New World?

PVP quests in New World are optional missions that require you to be flagged for PVP combat to complete, meaning you need to face other players. While not required, they offer great rewards and can affect territory influence if you choose to take them on.

Faction representatives offer both PVE and PVP faction quests that you can complete in your location. The PVP quests often require you to hold a certain location for a specified amount of time or harvest certain materials in an area. The whole time you do this, players will try and attack you.

PVP missions offer standard rewards like coin, territory standing, and experience. In addition, they offer faction reputation, faction tokens, and territory influence. You'll be able to purchase rewards at certain reputation levels like gear and resources using a combination of coin and faction tokens. Of particular note are the various runes of holding, which are required to craft bags that increase your carrying capacity.

Beyond improving standing with your faction and acquiring special items, PVP missions enable wars that can cause territories to change hands.

How To Accept A New World PVP Quests

Once you choose your faction, you can talk to your faction's representative in any major town throughout New World to pick up these quests. These NPCs can be easily located by looking at your map. They are marked by an icon colored according to faction. The Marauder Commander is green, the Covenant Adjudicator is yellow, and the Syndicate Alchemist is purple.

When you select a PVP quest, a message will pop up asking if you're sure you want to accept.

Once you accept, you are flagged for PVP combat, so anyone can attack you outside of a sanctuary. This also offers a 10 percent experience bonus. Be careful while working on these missions. If you die with one in progress, the quest will automatically be abandoned, and you'll have to talk to the faction representative to start it again.

Completing PVP missions affects your faction's territory influence, which you can view on the map. With each mission completed, you add to your faction's influence bar. Factions who don't own the territory will try to complete PVP missions and fill up their influence bar. The faction that owns the territory can diminish the other factions' bars by completing their own PVP mission. When an attacking faction fills their influence bar, a war is triggered in that territory.
