New World is a PvPvE MMORPG that focuses majorly on PvP scenarios. Still, if players wish to participate in some high-level PvE events, they need Corruptions Bane, a.k.a Azoth Staff, an extremely important tool to access such events.
Luckily, it is not that hard to get your hands on an Azoth staff, nor does it require some impossible endgame material to craft it, and players can acquire it simply by completing the main storyline quests of the New World.
The Azoth Staff can be obtained as a reward for completing the “Forge Your Azoth Staff” quest given by Yonas Alazar located in Fisherman’s Bend on the south-eastern border of Monarch’s Bluffs.
Note: The recommended level for this quest is 23.
Players have to travel to the altar beneath the Shattered Obelisk, a Point of Interest in Everfall Territory, to forge their Azoth Staff and bring it back to Yonas Alazar to complete this quest.
Prerequisites for Forging an Azoth Staff in New World
Players need to meet some essential conditions before the NPC gives the “Forge Your Azoth Staff” quest to them. First of all, Players need to complete the Soulwarden Questline before receiving the Azoth Staff questline, which will officially start when you receive the quest to meet the fisherman hermit, Yonas Alazar.
The quest to find out all the components of the Azoth Staff and to forge it will be available to the players once they reach level 20. There are seven prerequisite quests given by Yonas the Hermit and Adiana Theron in the Azoth Staff questline that players must complete in order to acquire the staff.

What is Azoth Staff used for in New World?
Azoth Staff can be used to close Corrupted Portals and Breaches through the expeditions in New World. Closing corrupted portals rewards players with ingredients to craft Tuning Orbs, a ton of Gold, XP, Azoth, and much more.
The expeditions are high-level PvE events involving several elite enemies and two major bosses. It is recommended to form a party of at least five players before starting any of the expedition. The Amrine Excavation expedition is the lowest level expedition (recommended level 25) that players can dive into immediately after acquiring an Azoth Staff.
These corrupted portals, breaches, and monoliths are marked with red dots on the map, and appear randomly in the game. Players need high-tier upgraded Azoth Staff to access high-level expeditions.
How to upgrade Azoth Staff in New World?
The Azoth Staff can be upgraded by similarly completing certain quests after reaching a particular level. It has a total of 5 Tiers. Here are all the quests you must complete to upgrade your Azoth Staff.
| Tier | Quest | Description | Recommended Level |
| Tier 1 | Forge Your Azoth Staff | Travel to the altar beneath the Shattered Obelisk and forge your Azoth Staff. | 23 |

All Expeditions in New World
There are six expeditions in New World, which offer the players several puzzles to solve, high-level monsters to kill, and absurdly strong bosses to fight. Completing expedition rewards the players with the rarest of loots.
- The Amrine Excavation- Windsward
- The Starstone Barrows- Everfall
- The Depths- Restless Shore
- The Dynasty Shipyard- Ebonscale Reach
- The Lazarus Instrumentality- Reekwater
