Coming to the main topic of this article, there are several starting areas/locations that players can choose from. However, sometimes players cannot choose on their own & have to settle with the default. This can impact the experience in New World early on. Likewise, a specific starting Zone or Area can be convenient for players as well. There are four starting zones for players to choose from: First Light, Windsward, Monarch’s Bluff and Everfall. Each of the starting zones have different level of difficulty. Therefore, choosing the right starting zones for the starting quests & side quests can make them easier to complete.
How to Change or Select your Starting Zone/Area in New World

- After you defeat the Captain, the game will send you to a random area on the map.
- Next, you have to accept & complete the first quest.
- After the completion of the first tutorial quest. It is important to make sure that you don’t accept any further quests by NPCs in the region.
- Now, open the in-game Map using the ‘M’ button and find one of the four zones for your starting location.
- Next up, set the yellow markers to your selected zone on the map and set them as a waypoint.
- You have to head over to the marker and you can use that zone as a Starting Area in New World.
