Hello, adventurers! Welcome back to Mmoexp, the rabbit farming route we'll cover is fast, efficient, and optimized to maximize your drop rate, giving you immediate access to resources or New World Gold. Let's dive into the key details and preparations needed to make your rabbit hunt as successful as possible.

 Preparation: Boosting Luck for Better Drops

Before we begin the route, it's important to maximize your luck. Increasing your gathering luck significantly boosts your chance of obtaining rare items like Rabbit's Feet. Here's a list of items and buffs you'll want to gather to improve your chances:

1. Full Luck Armor Set: Equip a set that includes luck bonuses on each piece to raise your skinning luck.

2. Amulet with Luck Bonus: Having an amulet with luck increases your chances of rare drops.

3. Skinning Knife with Luck Perk: A quality skinning knife with the luck perk further improves drop rates. The better the quality, the more effective it will be.

4. Gathering Song Buff: Play a song that gives a 5% gathering luck boost for extra luck on top of your equipment.

5. Food Buff: Eat grilled tenderloin or another food that provides a skinning luck bonus.

6. Trophies in House: Place skinning trophies in your house(s) to add additional luck.

Finally, respec to Dexterity to maximize your overall gathering luck, as the last perk in Dexterity provides a +10% chance of finding rare items when skinning.

 Route Location: The Crow's Nest

The primary location for this farming route is the Crow's Nest area. This area is home to a high density of rabbits and is conveniently laid out, allowing you to loop through quickly and efficiently. By following this path, you'll be able to kill and skin a substantial number of rabbits per hour, increasing the likelihood of obtaining a Rabbit's Foot and other valuable materials.

Let's break down each section of the route.

 Step 1: Starting Point – The Zigzag Road Down the Hill

Begin your journey at the top of the hill near the Crow's Nest. Follow the zigzagging path as you descend, keeping an eye out for small patches of grass and rocks along the way. The first area you'll encounter has three rabbits. Use a ranged weapon here, as this will save you time by allowing you to quickly kill rabbits from a distance.

 Step 2: The Wall Area

After dispatching the rabbits near the start, head toward the stone wall in the area. There are two rabbits around this section. If you're struggling to spot them, try spamming your target lock, which makes it easier to see and lock onto hidden rabbits in the grass or behind rocks.

 Step 3: Middle Road Rabbits

Continue down the path, looking for rabbits along the road. There should be at least three rabbits on this road section, so take your time and ensure you're thorough. These rabbits tend to scatter a bit, so target-locking them will make locating them easier. You may encounter rabbits that have wandered further down the path due to natural movement.

 Step 4: Ruins with Hole

Once you're done with the middle road rabbits, move to a nearby ruin with a distinct hole structure. Here, you'll find three rabbits scattered around the ruin. Look around the ruin carefully, as these rabbits can be tricky to spot.

 Step 5: Armadillo Area

This is an optional step but worth considering if you want extra loot. Here, you'll encounter a group of armadillos. Keep in mind that armadillos curl into a ball when approached, making them harder to kill. Use a ranged weapon to break their stance quickly. They drop rare items that may fetch a decent price in the trading post.

 Step 6: Northeast Path – Dead Trees

Next, head north-northeast towards a group of dead trees. This area has another three rabbits that spawn close together. Take them down, and be mindful of other enemies that might be roaming nearby. The target lock will come in handy, especially if the rabbits are hiding.

 Step 7: Dead Tree Cluster

As you continue, there's another patch of dead trees slightly south of your last position. You'll find three more rabbits here. This area requires a bit of exploration, as these rabbits tend to scatter. Look around carefully, and remember that the target lock feature will reveal rabbits hidden behind trees or rocks.

 Step 8: Big Tree and Open Field

Finally, proceed south-southwest to a large tree in an open field. Around this tree, you'll find three rabbits that are usually close together. Once you finish this part of the route, head back to the starting point by going southwest.

 Step 9: Return to Starting Point and Repeat

When you return to the starting point near the Crow's Nest, you'll notice that the rabbits have started to respawn. This area has a rapid respawn rate, allowing you to repeat the route almost immediately. By the time you finish one loop, the rabbits from the previous loop should have respawned, allowing you to continue farming without interruption.

 Additional Tips for Farming

1. Don't Use a Proficiency Booster: While proficiency boosters increase the quantity of materials gathered, rabbits don't yield enough raw resources to make it worthwhile.

2. Be Consistent with the Route: Since the route is circular and the respawn rate is fast, keeping a steady pace will optimize your kills per minute.

3. Target Lock for Visibility: Rabbits are often hard to spot due to their size and camouflage. Target locking as you move through the route makes locating them easier, especially in dense patches of grass or around trees.

4. Sell Sumptuous Rabbit Meat: As you're farming, you'll accumulate a good amount of Sumptuous Rabbit, which is a valuable item on many servers. Consider selling it for a profit if it's not needed for personal use.

 Results: Farming Rates and Profits

After roughly 200 rabbits over the course of 30 minutes, here are some estimated drop rates and potential earnings:

1. Rabbit's Foot Drop Rate: With full luck gear and buffs, expect to get a Rabbit's Foot after about 200 rabbits on average, though luck and RNG can vary.

2. Sumptuous Rabbit Meat: Around 30-35 pieces of Sumptuous Rabbit can be gathered in 30 minutes, which can sell for a substantial amount of gold, depending on your server's economy. Selling this meat alone can net you over 10,000 gold for half an hour's work, especially if you're on a server where the demand for rare meat is high.

3. Overall Profit: In about 30 minutes of farming, you could make around 20,000 gold from selling all items, assuming prices stay high.

 Summary

Farming for Rabbit's Foot and Sumptuous Rabbit in New World can be very lucrative if done correctly. By preparing with luck-boosting items, following the efficient Crow's Nest route, and utilizing target lock for hidden rabbits, you can maximize your success and quickly accumulate valuable items. Be patient, stick to the route, and optimize your build and gear, and you'll be profiting from your rabbit hunting in no time.

Happy hunting, and may the luck of the forests be with you!
