New World: Stonecutting Guide

Stonecutting is one of the Refining Skills in Amazon's new MMO, New World.

There's no prerequisite to getting started with this skill, just take the stone and gems you collect from Aeternum's many boulders and Ore Veins to a Stonecutting Table in a Settlement and off you go.

Be mindful that you'll need a higher level Stonecutting Table to refine higher quality gems, so make sure you visit a Settlement which has leveled up its workstations.

Is Stonecutting for me?

The primary beneficiary of Stonecutting is Jewelcrafting, with the many gems used to augment armor and weapons.

It's a profession which has perfect synergy with the Mining gathering skill, being the primary provider of gems and wood for refining.

Tuning Orbs, Gemstones, and More

While base stones are plentiful, you'll need to source other materials -- such as Elemental Motes -- if you want to craft the more useful items.

Examples of these advanced items are the various Cut Gemstones for augmenting gear. and Tuning Orbs which grant access to Expeditions and Arenas. These are one-time items, so you'll need to craft many if you want to repeat the dungeons.
