New World 1.7.1 Patch – The most important Changes
There have been some improvements to the Brimstone Sands expansion. For example, there are more dialogs with Tomash and Ghazi, which give the player more information for the quest “A Selfless Nature”. The prerequisites for this quest have also been adjusted.
Additionally, the amount of Iron Hides you get when you skin a Valley Lizard has been reduced, and you can also no longer build a camp near the quest location of “Brimstone Under Siege.” In addition, the “Demon’s Cauldron” quest has been fixed. Some players were teleported back from the crystal until last.
Besides the Brimstone patches, there are also some other changes. Probably the most important one is that sulfur farming has been made more difficult. You now get less sulfur when mining sulfurwigs.
