UNIQUE SERIES

In NewWorld Online players have the chance to gain equipment and gear that are unique to that particular player when they defeat a special monster.

The protagonist was witnessed to have gained her unique series equipment when she defeated her first dungeon boss by herself, using HP drain.

Several other character players have been observed to gain their unique series equipment when they satisfied a certain requirement while defeating a certain dungeon boss. Including but not limited to, defeating the boss in a unique fashion, being the first to defeating the boss, solo or defeating the boss in your first encounter.

Unique series items tend to complement, suspiciously to those that gain them. Some requirements count from needing to have been killed a certain amount of times in the game, or using a certain way to defeat a creature.

Some unique series items also come along with permanent skills like 'indestructible'. They also have slots that are capable of applying other skills that have multiple and compounding advantages for the user and the equipment.

First Event
The first event in NewWorld Online was a battle royale that pit players against each other, though they can join forces in order to defeat a common enemy, such as the case with the event's top three, Payne, Dred and Maple.

Due to Maple's desire to gain a memento in the event, as she is a sucker for collectibles, she strived to earn a spot in the top ten.

Plot
During the event, Maple received no deaths, was never inflicted damage and defeated 2028 players alone with her player-eating shield.undefined Near the end of the event, the top three's positions were disclosed to other players with the claim that the killer would claim a third of their current points. In the end, no change in the placement of the top three was observed.

Final Ranking

 * 1) Payne
 * 2) Dread
 * 3) Maple
 * 4) Mii
 * 5) Drag
 * 6) Kasumi
 * 7) Shinundefined
 * 8) Marxundefined
 * 9) Chrome
 * 10) Miseryundefined

It is noted that it was slightly unfair that the three top ranking player's positions were disclosed to everyone when all ten players had the same reward. It wasn't enough to stop their rampage, though.

The reward for ranking in the top ten was a gold medal, which will later be used in the second event.

Second Event
The second event had the objective of field exploration, taking place on a map that was independent from the actual in-game environment. The map contained regions of varying landscapes and climates that were placed near each other.

As parties were allowed, willing players would be transferred to the event map with their party to a random location. This place would be where the players would be respawned for the duration of the event. In Maple's case, she formed a two-man party with Sally.

The rewards for the event were 300 silver medals and the ten gold medals from the first event. While the silver medals would be scattered around the map in various places that were hard to find or reach, the gold medals would be in the hands of the players who ranked in the top ten during the first event.

Around the environment, access to many dungeons of varying mechanics would be available via entrances or portals. The likelihood of acquiring medals from a chest or boss was significantly higher than finding one laying around the surroundings.

Furthermore, both gold and silver medals would always be dropped on death, provided that you have one.

At the end of the event, players would be able to trade their medals for a skill from a list provided to them. Each skill would either cost one gold medal or ten silver medals.

Sources of medals include:


 * Dungeons
 * Reward drops and chests
 * Overlooked surroundings; such as on the bottom of the mountain or underwater
 * Player-versus-player combat; provided that the enemy has a medal

Plot
Contrary to what was shown in the anime, Maple and Sally encounter several PK-ers during the event. Furthermore, the book that talks about the Ancient Heart as an item that always drops on death like the medals, and Sally killed for it along with three silver medals.

Boss Monsters
Several boss monsters with overwhelming powers were included in the event.. These include Silverwing, the multiple Sea Emperors and the Earth Dragon.undefined The administrators believed that Maple alone could defeat the Earth Dragon.

The avian creature Silverwing was a powerful boss located on a glacier-like environment where players would be teleported from a mountainous area teeming of snow.undefined As the developers had labeled it, the cryptid was the embodiment of the management team's malice. Not only it had a ridiculous amount of HP, it has a skill to guard itself against ranged liquid-based attacks, several powerful attack skills that were either piercing or had terribly high damage.

Even a physical attack with its claw and beak were enough to deal notable damage to Maple, who had an out-of-standard VIT stat. Another skill that gave the creature a black aura further boosted its stats near the end of their fight. Luckily, Maple was able to end the beast with the help of Sally, while also gaining a useful skill thay enabled her to survive an attack with 1HP, [Indomitable Guardian].

Later, they find out the turtle and fox mythical beast eggs that were being guarded by the creature.

The primary Sea Emperor was guarding the bird andwolf mythical beast eggs.undefined Sally found what is likely the portal to the primary Sea Emperor and Kanade willingly entered to scout for Maple and Sally. The destination of the portal was directed underwater and his movements became dull because of Oceania and Ancient Sea. A giant squid that is presumably the Sea Emperor attacked and crushed him before he could do anything.undefined

The minor Sea Emperor that Maple and Sally fought was a drawn out battle in a sphere of air surrounded by oceans. Before a mistake poisoned the ocean, Sally took away roughly 30% of the boss's HP. Because of some basic physics that was included inside in the game, the water diluted the poison. After multiple casts of )Hydra] and other poisonous skills, the ocean's toxicity rose. The boss's remaining 70% HP would take roughly six in-game hours to drain away with this method. With a little trickery, Maple and Sally were able to end it three hours earlier than they expected.undefined

In the anime, only one Sea Emperor is shown. It was accessed after Kanade told Maple and Sally a riddle from a book that would direct them to an ancient structure with multiple fountains which is presumed to be the Ancient Heart.

After the two filled the fountains with [Ocean] and [Hydra], they were teleported to a vacuum of air that was located underwater, in which they fight a giant squid with an extremely fast HP regeneration skill. Sally presumed that by attacking the main body, they would be able to damage it.undefined

Maple later defeated the squid using this idea by continuously spewing poison with [Hydra] within the surrounding water, quickly killing the boss with the potency of the poison without much resistance.

Later, in an attempt to gain more medals, Sally initiated the event that was called the Massacre of the Sixth Day, creating a bloodbath out of all the players she encountered and eliminated. She would only gain two silver medals, much to her surprise.

Exchange Skills
These are some skills that were exchanged for gold and silver medals collected during the event.


 * Fortressundefined
 * Psychokinesisundefined
 * Addition Bladeundefined
 * Light of the Spirits
 * Resist Allundefined
 * Magic Powers Increment (魔力増強, lit. meaning Magic Augmentation)undefined
 * Divine Swordsmanship (聖剣術, lit. meaning Holy Swordsmanship)undefined
 * Dragonic Spear (龍槍, lit. meaning Dragon Spear)undefined

Third Event
Before the third event was released, sheep mobs were set to spawn for a period of time. A player could acquire a skill called [Shear] that would allow them to collect wool from these sheep, such as the case with Kasumi.undefined The wool they gathered could later be used to make outfits that would help during the upcoming event.

Plot
When the third event was launched, cow mobs were spawned for the duration of the event. The guilds would be later given the objective of defeating cows which will drop cowbells upon elimination, which is an uncommon drop. They would collect these cowbells, which would accumulate points that would be rewards for both individual and guild play. Wool-based clothing raised the drop rate of cowbells.undefined

During the event, Maple encountered a demonic boss in an abandoned church that was presumably the same church in her quest that made her obtain [Loving Sacrifice], later defeating the boss in its second phase by eating its insides after her avatar was swallowed whole. She gained the ability [Oozing Chaos] and its monstrous sub-skills.

Final Ranking

 * 1st: Congregation of the Holy Swords
 * Points: 1,578,228
 * Cowbells: 180,667
 * 2nd: Kingdom of the Flame Emperor
 * Points: 1,002,765
 * Cowbells: 92,502

Guild Rewards

 * Stuffed Cow Head
 * Guild members receive STR +3%.

The Stuffed Cow Head was the most valuable reward a guild could obtain. There is a speculation that the event stipulation requires the top ten guilds to be able to collect the most cowbells. Points and cowbells were unrelated since some guilds acquired more cowbells disproportionate to the number of points they have acquired. This may be why Maple Tree received the Stuffed Cow Head despite not being ranked in one of the top ten guilds.

Individual Rewards

 * Counterundefined

Fourth Event
The fourth event was a competition between guilds, a competition to obtain the most amount of orbs within the accelerated days in-game. Despite the amount of guilds bickering against each other, the event was rather a fight between the three most feared in NewWorld Online: Maple Tree, Congregation of the Holy Swords and Kingdom of the Flame Emperor.

The competition was held on a map specifically prepared for the event. Two hours real time would be accelerated to five days in-game. However, unlike other events, this event had a specific list of rules unique to itself that were obligatory to be followed by its participants.undefined

Event Rules

 * Players cannot join late or retire early.
 * Players who have no guilds can participate. They will be drafted into temporary guilds.
 * Players shall be transported to their respective locations where their guilds will defend their orbs. The locations shall vary in size and accessibility. Smaller guilds shall have more difficult to access and secluded bases making them easier to defend, while larger guilds shall be assigned to defend in a mostly open areas.
 * Guilds receive 1 point for every 6 hours they defend their orb. Smaller guilds receive 2 because of the difficulty.
 * Guilds receive 2 points for stealing an orb and keeping it at their base for 3 hours. The guild who lost their orb will lose 1 point. After 3 hours passes, the orbs are automatically return to their guild.
 * Guilds lose 3 points if their orb was stolen by a smaller guild.
 * Larger guilds lose 2 points if their orb was stolen by a medium guild.

 * 2nd death: All status reduced by 15%.
 * 3rd death: All status reduced by 30%.
 * 4th death: All status reduced by 50%.
 * 5th death: Retired from the event.

Plot
The in-game five day event was reduced to roughly three days due to the antics of Maple Tree. Guilds that were small or disorganized were quickly eliminated as their members all reached the five death penalty. Though medium-scale guilds survived the initial crushing, Sally's cunning strategies, which involved the scouting of said guilds, and sowing chaos among them, and making them fight each other, quickly wiped them out as well.

However, Maple Tree's plan to reserve [Atrocity] until later was reluctantly discarded due to a surprise assault by the Congregation of the Holy Swords against them. The large-scale guild failed to secure Maple Tree's orbs, however, as they were utterly crushed by the beast that is Maple assuming the form of a monster.

Before other guilds would become aware of Maple's destructive skill, they were sent out onto a violent offensive. Maple and her guild members traveled from guild to guild, instilling fear, panic and mass destruction as she hastily collected orbs which would later add up to their overall score. To secure their own guild from being knocked out from the rankings, Maple Tree opted to eliminate other guilds by mass casualty, thus eliminating their orbs with their owner guilds, so that no other guilds can gain points by them.

Massacres occurred multiple times and death counts rose at an accelerated pace. As more and more guilds were eliminated, the Kingdom of the Flame Emperor was forced to aggressively assault the remaining large guilds into extinction to avoid falling out of the top ten ranking.

Finally, Sally and Kanade combined [Shadow Split] and [Phantom World] respectively, making six more clones of Maple's demon form. More chaos ensued afterwards and before the third day finally ended.

An archive recap of the event highlights were shown shortly after, by the developers, which exhibited mostly of Maple and her guild mates.

Similar to the third event, the event gave out the objective to eliminate mobs, and this time, four unique monsters were spawned, each with varying points for killing them. Two of these monsters include a white monkey and a gigantic snowman. The snowman was worth the most points and has a chance of dropping rare items.

The item would send the player to a random location inside the event area, the jungle. This jungle prevents players limit the players' capability to use HP recovery skills and items. This includes skills like [Meditation], [Heal] and [Battle Healing] and also items like potions. The jungle also disabled unique passive effects, such as the case with Chrome's armor.undefined
