There are three different factions in New World, and each one of them has the main objective of taking control of Aeternum. However, those looking to rapidly level their weapon mastery, plus gain a significant amount of character XP, should frequently participate in PvP.

One settlement, in particular, is a great farming location to earn Faction rewards and XP in New World quickly and efficiently.
