Look, let's be honest. When you clear party dungeons in Arthdal Chronicles, you stack up party dungeon mileage. You can then spend that hard-earned mileage on various goods in the shop, leaving you to ponder what to buy first under the New World Season 2 standards. So, what items does KookminTree recommend grabbing with your party dungeon mileage? Let's dive into the details.

Q. Which items should you prioritise purchasing?
A. Prioritise dungeon point expansion tickets and rare-grade skills.

The absolute top recommendation from the party dungeon mileage shop is the dungeon point expansion ticket. You can grab this item for 30 mileage per party dungeon. For a typical New World Season 2 player clearing all five dungeon shops up to Hall of Frost, this increases both normal and hero dungeon points by 25 every single week. While it might look underwhelming right now, trust us, it accumulates into a massive number over several months, so it is a definite must-buy.

Next up on the shopping list are the rare-grade skill promotion books. You can pick up each promotion book for 50 mileage at [Normal] Hermit's Waterfall, [Hero] Hermit's Waterfall, and [Normal] Blizzard Plain. You literally need to learn these to advance to hero grade, so make sure to grab them. That said, rare-grade skills often pop up on the marketplace for cheap. If you spot an item listed for under 1,000 gems, picking it up to promote your skills isn't a bad shout either.

Q. Predator's Basin or Hall of Frost? Which one should you farm?
A. We strongly recommend Hall of Frost for those juicy chill essences.

So, between Predator's Basin and Hall of Frost, which party dungeon should you focus on? Barring a few specific classes, Hall of Frost takes the crown without a doubt. Running Hall of Frost nets you chill essence with a high drop rate, which is brilliant for crafting attribute weapons. Alternatively, you can flog tradable items on the marketplace for a hefty sum. Based on actual New World Season 2 market prices, flame essence goes for 54 gems a pop, but chill essence commands a whopping 175 gems.

On top of that, Hero Hall of Frost lets you buy hero passive skill acquisition books that are basically mandatory for each class. To give you a proper idea, Priests can pick up Prayer of Death, Assassins Swift Visitor, Brawlers Blood Regeneration, Paladins Ruler of the Divine Sword, Warriors Shield Bounce, Danggeuri Fancy Dance, and Stormweavers Electric Shock. You could honestly say that players grind Hall of Frost purely to learn these exact skills.

If you don't need these skills—or if you play classes like Archers or Twin Swords where the local hero passive skills aren't particularly efficient—we suggest spending your mileage on higher-tier gear. Standouts include the Bracelet of Oblivion, Abyss Shoulders, and Abyss Greaves. Among them, the Bracelet of Oblivion is a cracking hero-grade bracelet boasting 7 critical rate, 6% damage reduction from all attacks, and 6 defense-igniting attack power.

Finally, you can also grab Abyss Upper Armor and Boots using mileage from Tyrant's Sanctuary, the 16-player hero party dungeon. Whenever your server manages to scrape together a party, jump right in, clear it, and stack that mileage for some shiny new gear.

Q. How can I cut down on the gems spent for extra rewards?
A. Make good use of the New World Adventure Pass 2 Adventurer's Coins.

If you want to shave off some gem expenses on extra party dungeon rewards, keep your eyes peeled for Adventurer's Coins. By purchasing the New World Adventure Pass 2 Silver and Gold passes, you receive 10 Adventurer's Coins per 100 gems once you cross tier 20. These coins can then be traded for dungeon extra reward tickets valued at 5 gems each, working out to roughly one ticket for every 4.5 gems spent. In other words, you slash your extra reward gem costs by a neat 10%.

Quick tip: buying tiers with 100 gems in New World Adventure Pass 2 will reset your accumulated points back to 0. So, make sure to make your purchases when your points are sitting at zero so you don't waste any hard-earned progress from daily, weekly, or seasonal missions. Adieu, and best of luck out there, mate!
