Woodworking Trade Skill Guide for New World

Woodworking is one of the five Refining Trade Skills in New World. Woodworking involves processing all of those Wood related materials gathered from the Logging skill and crafting them into planks, to be used in crafting skills such as Engineering, Weaponsmithing, and Furnishing. Woodworking is performed at a Woodshop in any settlement. Woodshops have a tier level that varies from town to town and a higher tier level woodshop will enable you to craft higher tier materials such as Wyrdwood Planks, Ironwood Planks, and Glittering Ebony.

Sandpaper is the refining reagent for Woodworking and it is required when trying to craft up your materials; the higher the rank of reagent you use, the higher chance you have to craft bonus materials. The three Sandpapers available are: Coarse Sandpaper, Fine Sandpaper, and Obsidian Sandpaper. Generally, Obsidian Sandpaper is the best reagent to use, as it will provide you the highest chance at bonus items and is usually quite cheap.

Woodworking is a fairly simple skill to level up: the most experience you can acquire is from the highest tier materials you can craft, so always craft up for maximum experience. However, you can take a cheaper route and continue to only craft the lower materials which are extremely useful and can still sell for plenty of gold, as many players would rather just buy those lower level resources than farm them themselves. Below is a table of refined resources you can create with Woodworking and the materials/levels they require.

Refined Resources	Materials Required	Woodworking Level	Experience Gained
Timber	Green Wood x4	0	+36
Lumber	Aged Wood x4, Timber x2 and Sandpaper x1	50	+266
Wyrdwood Planks	Wyrdwood x6, Lumber x2 and Sandpaper x1	100	+1665
Ironwood Planks	Ironwood x8, Wyrdwood Planks x2 and Sandpaper x1	150	+8470
Glittering Ebony (10 per day)	Ironwood Planks x5, Wildwood x1, Barbvine x1 and Sandpaper x1	200	+6930

Each of the five Refining trade skills have a gear set that increase the total yield you receive while refining by +2% per item.
