You’ll need a few items to complete the quest chain related to the Azoth Staff. I’ll list everything you need to make sure that doing the quest feels as breezy as possible. The quest chain recommends that your character be level 23, but I’ve noticed you can get away with completing it from level 19 to level 22 as well.

  • 3 Water
  • 5 Silver Ingots
  • 3 Petalcap
  • 3 Rivercress Stem

Note: To obtain each of the items mentioned above, you will need to level your skills to a certain degree. You will need a Mining Skill of 20 and a Harvesting skill of 30. If you don’t meet these requirements, you can purchase the items above from the Trading Post instead.

You receive the Azoth Staff as a reward for completing the quest “Forge Your Azoth Staff.” This quest is directly tied to the Main storyline of New World. Even though this quest itself happens much later in the story, earlier parts of its quest chain come earlier in the story.

There are eight main story missions that you should keep your eye out for if you wish to obtain the Azoth Staff.

  • The First Component
  • The Living Seed
  • Adiana’s Fountain
  • Weakness of the Ego
  • Plains of the Pestilent
  • Nature’s Gift
  • Argent and Aether
  • Forge Your Azoth Staff.

These quests will not be tackled in order, unfortunately, because certain quests occur before others. You can tackle The First Component, Adiana’s Fountain, and Argent Aether before the other quests in this chain.

Your primary objective in this quest will be to destroy 3 Corrupted Tendrils and then later destroy 2 Clotting Carapaces. Adiana will mention to you that her Azoth Fountain is being blocked by some form of corruption. You have to then head to the Canary Mine, which is to her west, and clear it out.

The Corrupted Tendrils can be quite dangerous if you’re under-leveled. If that is the case then consider using a ranged weapon. The Clotting Carapaces do not fight back when it. Return to Adriana when done.
