New World Aeternum Combat Trophies Guide

Combat Trophies in New World Aeternum are items you place in your houses that give you damage bonus based on enemy type. Combat Trophies are essential for endgame Trials (Raids) and Mutated Expeditions (Dungeons) to help you get extra DPS. This guide will show you how to craft Combat Trophies and where to get the materials needed to craft them.

What are Combat Trophies?

Combat Trophies are items you place in your player houses that give you a damage bonus. There are a total of six different Combat Trophies one for each enemy type.

  • Ancients
  • Angry Earth
  • Corrupted
  • Human
  • Lost
  • Wildlife

The damage bonus you receive depends on the tier of the trophy. There are three tiers of craftable trophies, each trophy type requiring higher tier and rare materials to craft them.

Damage Bonus Per Trophy

Trophy TierDamage Bonus
Minor+3% damage
Basic+4% damage
Major+5% damage

You can have up to five DIFFERENT trophies per house and own a maximum of three houses. This gives you a total of 15 trophy slots, HOWEVER you can only have ONE TROPHY of each damage type PER HOUSE. For, example you can have three Lost Trophies, one in each of your houses, for a combined damage bonus.

Minor+9% damage
Basic+12% damage

How to Craft Combat Trophies

Combat Trophies can be crafted at the Workshop crafting station and are crafted with the Furnishing Tradeskill. You need to be at certain levels in the Furnishing Tradeskill to be able to craft different tiers of trophies. For higher tier trophies, the schematic will not appear in the schematic list unless you have the specific rare material needed to craft the Trophy (it must be present in Settlement Storage or in your Inventory).

  • Crafting Station – Workshop
  • Tradeskill – Furnishing
  • Furnishing Level –
    • Minor Trophy – 75
    • Basic Trophy – 150
    • Major Trophy – 200

All of the rare materials for Combat Trophies drop from specific bosses or enemy types and are unbound (can be listed on the Trade Post). Specific information for each Trophy type can be found below. All the bosses listed have a roughly 5 minute respawn time (except Baines who has a faster respawn time).
