Tracking and Skinning

Thursday, 18. November 2021 Patch 1.1.0

The gathering profession Tracking and Skinning is used in New World to track down and skin animals and extract their meat. This profession can be leveled from level 1 to level 200. On this page you will find all the information about this profession and how you can improve your skinning skills even more.

Basics

Which animals you can skin depends on your skill level. The game lists which level is needed for which animal under (Default Hoeky) K – Trade Skills – Tracking and Skinning.

Skinning Overview ingame

What does “tracked at”?
As soon as you have skinned your way to level 25, you will see a symbol at the top of the screen on the compass (see picture) which indicates in which direction the next skinnable animal is located.

Where to find which animal?

The maps listed below not only show you where to find the desired NPCs, occurrences, animals or items, but also give you coordinates so that you know exactly where to find your chosen farm spot. To see coordinates in the game, you have to select the option Show FPS under Settings -> Visuals. Now you have the coordinates display in the upper right corner of the screen.

Ressource: newworld-map.com

newworld-map.com is a quite detailed tool that allows you to search for something very specifically through its filter function. In the center of the lower screen you can see the coordinates of the location your mouse pointer is over.

newworld-map.com is available in different languages.

Ressource: newworldfans.com/map

newworldfans.com/map offers you a similar, though at the moment less detailed filter option for materials of all kinds. Here it is a bit easier to quickly get the desired result.

The nodes are displayed cumulatively and are only displayed in more detail when you zoom in, which makes the map much clearer. On the right, lower edge of the screen you can see the coordinates of the occurrences over which your mouse pointer is located.

This map is only available in English at the moment.

Gathering Tool: Skinning Knife

To be able to skin at all you need the appropriate tool. You can either make this tool yourself or buy it at the trading post. During the first quests in the game you will learn how to make a skinning knife at a campfire. You can then use it directly!
