As New World is such a new title, it is difficult to summarize all its mechanics in a single article, especially when they are as important as the houses, fast travel and Azoth. Although it can be summarized in a more or less simple way, the reality is that it is important to know some important details.

It should be clear that, despite the apparent simplicity of the game’s systems, things get a little complicated if you do not understand how to optimize these systems. It is VITAL that you understand why houses, fast travel and Azoth are so closely linked: their relationship is more important than it seems.
How to get the most out of houses, fast travel and the Azoth in New World
The first thing you need to understand is that the Azoth has several uses, including helping you craft equipment (to increase the chances of new features coming out) or fast travel. It is limited to a total of 1000, so you will not be able to accumulate it indefinitely.
The use of the Azoth for equipment crafting has already been discussed at length, but with fast travel it has never been discussed in depth. Due to the size of the game’s map, you’re going to have to use this mechanic, spending Azoth in the process. However, you should keep three key factors in mind:
The longer the distance you want to travel, the more Azoth the trip will cost you.
You will only be able to travel between cities and key locations.
The more equipment and items you carry, the more the trip will cost you.

Precisely for this reason, the houses in New World are so important. In addition to the inn in which you can “register”, you will also have the possibility of taking over two houses. The strategy in this regard is crystal clear: distribute VERY well the houses throughout the continent.

Houses are key
It does not make much sense to use this system in adjacent villages, but the thing will be to have them quite far apart, both the houses and the inn in which you are registered. The most important thing about the houses is that the first one is the most expensive, because the game will give you an incentive with your first home. Therefore, ALWAYS buy the most expensive house at the beginning.
