Chest Runs
Since the launch of New World, Chest Runs have been synonymous with the game.
It's a very unique system that not many other games do, but is a very unique, and solid way to make gold in the game.
Basically, large groups run through high level zones, looting all of the elite chests, before heading onto the next zone.
This will see you wracking up tons of useful items that can be sold on for massive profits.
Elite Chests can only be looted once a day though, so you can add these runs into your daily routine, for easy money.
If you'd like to learn more about some chest runs your can do, check out one of the videos below, or scroll down for more information!
PVP Island Chest Run:
One of the newest chest runs added to the game is the Hidden Treasure, Cutlass Keys chest run!
This one is a bit more dangerous than others, since it's on the free-for-all PVP island in Cutlass Keys, but people still group up and do it, making a pact not to attack one another.
You can also do it solo, and since the items gotten from these chests don't drop on death, there's no risk involved.
The first video will go over the route for you, and the second video will give you the location of all of the treasure maps you need, to start doing this chest run every day.

Elysian Wilds Chest Run:
If you have the DLC, and the Elysian Wilds is open to you, this is a very profitable chest run to add into your daily routine.
Simply head on over, and get going.
The chests aren't that far apart either, so it's a nice fast one.
You do first need to acquire all of the Signet of Beast Lords to be able to open these chests if you are running solo, but there's not many of them, and they're easy to get.
Check out the second video to get all of them, or run in a group with someone who has them if you don't want to get them.
If you want to learn more about the route to take for this run though, check out the video below.

Brimstone Sands Chest Run:
Similar to the Elysian Wilds chest run, you also have the Brimstone Sands version, which isn't locked behind DLC, and is also a very profitable chest run you can add into your daily routine.
Simply head on over there, and get going.
Do watch out though, as the acid chests can be a bit tricky to get the hang of at first, but I'll give you some tips and tricks in the video on how to best deal with them.
If you want to be able to unlock every chest solo, you'll want to pick up all of the Glpyhs in Brimstone Sands. There's currently 26 of them, so it'll take a bit of time to get them all, but once you have it, you're good to go.
Check out the second video (By Savvvo Games) to get all of them, or run in a group with someone who has them already if you don't want to get them.
If you want to learn more about the route to take for this run though, and some tricks on how to deal with acid pools, check out the video below.

Research Tools:
If you're not satisfied with the above mentioned chest runs, or are looking for more to add into your daily routine, you can always research ones of your own to do.
I set up a video guide going over some really helpful resources I use, when researching methods in New World: Aeternum.
Click on the video below to learn more about them.
When I look for chest runs, I would use something like New World Map to find where all of the elite chests spawn, and then make a route around it.
You can also use NWDB to find out what's in every kind of chest, so you can know what to target based on prices.
