10 Things I Wish I Knew before playing New World Preview
54New World lifted their NDA and allowed players to flood into their Alpha or "Preview" servers this week to give the game a try. In case you missed it I did a quick 2 minute recap of the gameplay linked on screen and down below.

To get access to the Preview servers you can either get a code gifted online or pre-order the game on Steam or Amazon.
00:00 - In today's video we will cover 10 things I wish I knew when I started playing, so that you can know them too.
00:33 - #1: If you run out of stamina, you can block while its empty to refill it to full. Note that this will block break you but it is a fast and simple way to recover stamina.
00:46 - #2: Resources can be tracked on your compass when they are nearby. Open your character screen and go to tradeskills then to the tradeskill of your choice to see what skill level is required to start tracking each resource. Once unlocked, you will see these resources on your compass when they are nearby.
01:08 - #3: Each weapon currently has 3 skill slots for your abilities, but contains 6 abilities in both of its trees. I've seen some players respec when they want to change abilities, but it's worth knowing that you can have more than 3 abilities unlocked. Once you unlock the 4th you can freely set any abilities to a hotkey by clicking on them in the skill tree screen.
01:47 - #4: You can see what each settlement has in its storage from the map screen. Each Settlement has separate storage, so when leaving items behind it may be a challenge to remember where everything is. Luckily, you can hover over a settlement from the map screen and view the items in storage.
02:09 - #5: The map screen also contains a handy guide on where to find key resources like Oil or Hemp. On the left side click Resource Locations and you will see a biome tileset displayed next to each resource. Zoom in on the map to see what biome a location is to track down any resource you may need.
02:34 - #6: If an enemy or palyer is too far away to be revealed, then you can simply hover over them with your reticle. This trick is useful for identifying players who may pose a threat to you in PVP from a far distance.
02:50 - #7: Your combat dodge will avoid attacks but on the Preview servers your sprinting dodge will not. I've seen players hold sprint and dodge away in a panic when they are pressured, but often times this can lead to them dying. Your sprinting dodge may cover more ground but doesn't protect you from being stunned from a melee attack.
03:19 - #8: Crafting in a Settlement pulls resources from both your inventory and your Storage Shed. Rest easy, friends. You can simply dump all your materials and resources into the storage shed in a settlement without worrying about being unable to craft. I've started filling the storage of multiple settlements with commonly needed materials so that I can craft as I pass through that town without being encumbered while adventuring.
03:46 - #9: Ranged weapons fire slower when you have no stamina. If you are out of stamina, your ranged weapons will be slower to fire. I know this throws me off all the time. You may get used to the refire timer on your weapon and look to cancel and move between shots, only to find out your weapon didn't fire this time. Replenish your stamina and your fire rate will return to normal.
04:11 - #10: Your attribute respecs are free until level 20. You are free to respec your attribute distributions in the early levels to test out different builds that you may like. But aim to have a build that is more solidified before reaching level 20 as your respecs will no longer be free.
