New World is all about farming Expeditions and Arenas. However, some of them cannot be accessed without Tuning Orbs. In this guide, we’ll show you how to get Tuning Orbs in New World.
How to Get Tuning Orbs in New World
Tuning Orbs allow you to access certain areas and expeditions in New World. Using Turning Orbs allows you to access dungeons for three to five persons. These dungeons are often a source for significant loot and EXP.
There are a total of 9 Tuning Orbs where six of them unlock expeditions, and three of them unlock arenas.
Tuning orbs are usually crafted at Stonecutter’s Bench, however, some of them are rewarded to you after expeditions, however this method to get Orbs is not as reliable as crafting them yourself.
Tuning Orbs recipes will be unlocked as you upgrade your Stonecutting skills. Once you have a Tuning Orb, you’ll be able to access its respective expedition.
It gets easier if you’re accessing the expedition or an arena in a party since only one of the party players needs to have a Tuning Orb.
However, the Tuning Orb can only be used once by a player. After that, it’ll have to be crafted again.
How to Use Turning Orbs
Turning Orbs cannot be used right away in the game. For this, you first need to continue with the main storyline till the quest Destiny Unearthed. This quest allows you to get the first Turning Orb and access the Amrine Excavation.
From here, you are able to craft and use the Turning Orbs to get to different dungeons in the game. For this, you need to upgrade your Stonecutting skill to unlock more recipes.
You need to have a specific level for using the Orbs to get to different dungeons, so make sure you acquire this level otherwise you will end up wasting your Turning Orb.
Forming a party is crucial when embarking on an expedition as certain dungeons require a minimum number of players. We recommend a party with at least a healer, tank, and DPS for a balanced team composition..
