Where is Oil in New World?

Oil – Oil is obtained from Seeping Stone, in a rare areas of ​​the game world. Such a field looks like a small depression in the ground with stones on the sides and a small amount of oil (Keep in mind, it's a black gold!) inside. Therefore, take a closer look, perhaps a whole oil field is hidden somewhere nearby. Depending on the area of ​​the deposit: small, regular or large, the reward and the time for collecting the resource increase.

You can start extracting oil from level 20 of the mining skill (Mining). When your mining level catches 45, you will be able to track oil using the compass, which is located at the top center of the screen. This will greatly simplify the search for seeping stone. Therefore, you should first think about pumping your mining skill to 45, and then stock up some oil or maybe even sell on the trading floor. Oil is also used in many recipes for furniture, potions and magic weapons.

Oil could be found in few initial zones:

• In [Monarch's Bluffs](https://new-world.guide/tutorials/monarch_bluffs 'Monarch's Bluffs starting location in New World'), but in small quantities.

A large seeping stone is located in the game zone Weaver's Fen, and a slightly smaller field in Cultlass Keys. The competition for oil, as in the real world, will be fierce, so never miss on a chance to extract it. The minimum recharge of even the smallest oil field takes about 9 minutes.
