New World Aeternum Season 10: Give a Dog a Bone Quests Guide
In New World Aeternum Season 10, the "Give a Dog a Bone" quest offers a lighthearted early-game objective that rewards players with a decorative dog furniture item for their home. This guide covers how to start, complete, and efficiently finish the quest while earning some easy experience and reputation.
How to Start the Quest
The "Give a Dog a Bone" quest becomes available shortly after players reach a settlement in the starting regions such as Everfall, Windsward, or Monarch's Bluffs. Look for an NPC named Old Ezra, a kindly villager often found near the settlement kennels or animal pens. Speaking with Ezra begins the quest chain centered around helping a stray dog in need.
Quest Prerequisites:
Character Level:Around 10–15
Access to your first house (optional, but required to place the reward)
Completion of basic settlement introduction quests
Quest Objectives
The quest involves locating a special bone and bringing it to a lost dog found nearby. Here's a breakdown of the main steps:
Collect the Dog Bone
Ezra directs you to search near Windward Fields or Briarwood Outskirts for a buried bone.
Interact with sparkling dig sites marked on your map. Defeat any nearby wolves guarding the area.
Feed the Stray Dog
Once you collect the bone, travel to the Abandoned Kennel east of Windsward.
Approach the stray dog and interact with it to "Give the Dog a Bone." This triggers a short cutscene where the dog happily accepts your gift.
Return to Ezra
After feeding the dog, return to Old Ezra to complete the quest. You'll receive gold, reputation, and the special Dog Furniture Item for your home.
Quest Rewards
Upon completion, players earn:
1,000 EXP
100 Territory Reputation
250 Gold
Dog Furniture Decoration
The furniture item is purely cosmetic but adds personality to your house. Once placed, it acts like a loyal companion lounging in your home, perfect for pet lovers and role-players.
Tips for Completing the Quest Quickly
Bring a Shovel or Pickaxe:Dig sites appear faster when using a proper gathering tool.
Use Fast Travel Shrines:Unlock nearby shrines in Windsward or Everfall for quicker navigation.
Check for Wolves:Some bone sites spawn aggressive wolves; equip a decent sword or bow to clear them safely.
Inventory Space:Make sure you have a few open slots before digging-the bone is a quest item but sometimes adds extra materials.
Efficient Early-Game Gold and Resources
During this quest, players often gather rawhide, meat, and animal drops while fighting wolves. These can be sold or refined for profit. However, if you're looking to progress faster, many players opt to buy New World Coins from reputable marketplaces like MMOexp, where you can quickly acquire gold to invest in housing, gear upgrades, or crafting supplies. This allows you to focus on exploring and enjoying quests like "Give a Dog a Bone" without the grind.
