In this guide, we will discuss three guaranteed methods to obtain Beast Ward and Beast Bane gear in New World. These gear sets are essential for taking on the upcoming Sandwurm raid, which is the first elite trial in the game's Season 2 update. By following these methods, you can acquire the necessary gear without spending excessive amounts of money.

 

• Method 1: Running the Protector's Arena
• Method 2: Completing the Season 2 Questline
• Method 3: Siege of Sulfur World Event

 

↖ Method 1: Running the Protector's Arena

The Protector's Arena is an end-game arena located in the northern part of Reekwater, just north of the Lazarus Instrumentality Expedition. It features an Angry Earth level 66 named boss called Avarice. Running this arena rewards you with the Protector's Equipment Cache, which contains Mossbourne armor. The Mossborne armor comes in all armor weights (light, medium, and heavy), and Beast Ward is a locked perk for this armor type. 

 

The Mossbourne armor drops at 590+ gear score, provided your expertise meets the required amount. While the other perks and attributes are random, the perk pool is PvE-friendly, increasing your chances of obtaining good Beast Ward gear. However, note that you'll need tuning orbs to enter the arena, which can be expensive. Consider the cost of crafting orbs versus rolling for two-perk gear when deciding which option to choose.

 

↖ Method 2: Completing the Season 2 Questline

Once the Season 2 update is live, completing the questline will reward you with a full suit of medium Beast Ward gear called the Devourer set. Additionally, you'll receive a Beast Ward Tower Shield and weapons with Beast Bane. This method allows you to obtain Beast Ward and Beast Bane gear for free. The armor set comes with Kite and Padding for acid resist, making it ideal for the Sandwurm raid. 

 

The gear set primarily consists of medium armor pieces, all with the Constitution attribute. The gloves have the Refreshing Beast Ward and Invigorated perks, while the shield has Accelerated Resolve, Beast Ward, and Refreshing. The gear drops at 615 gear score, saving you shards required for upgrading to 625. Over time, you may replace some pieces to optimize your build, as full Constitution gear may not be necessary.

 

↖ Method 3: Siege of Sulfur World Event

After the Season 2 update, participating in the Siege of Sulfur world event provides an opportunity to acquire Beast Ward and Beast Bane gear. The event involves defending eggs against waves of enemies, culminating in a battle against the level 66 elite boss, Remnant of the Unmaker. Based on your performance, you will receive various Siege of Sulfur Spoils: minor, moderate, and major. 

 

However, for obtaining Beast Ward and Beast Bane gear, focus on the regular Siege of Sulfur Spoils. You can run this event three times a day, and each time you open the cache, you'll receive Albino Sleighride gear. This armor set comes with Beast Bane and Acid Resistance as locked perks, while the other perks and attributes are random. The Albino Sleighride gear provides a chance to piece together a solid set, combining New World items from the Season 2 questline and the Siege of Sulfur event.

 

Conclusion:

These three methods offer guaranteed ways to acquire Beast Ward and Beast Bane gear in preparation for the Sandwurm raid in New World. Running the Protectors Arena, completing the Season 2 questline, and participating in the Siege of Sulfur world event are all viable options to obtain the necessary gear. Choose the method that suits your preferences and available resources. By following these methods, you can gear up effectively and face the challenges of the raid without having to spend a fortune. Good luck on your adventure in New World!
