To level quickly in Soul Land: New World, use the HUD quest tracker for automated open-world navigation and mob grinding, but switch to manual movement whenever boss encounters display red area-of-effect (AoE) attack indicators.
Using a hybrid approach allows you to clear standard questing content rapidly while preventing unnecessary character deaths during difficult combat milestones.
How to Use Auto-Pathing for Fast Questing
Automated quest tracking eliminates the need to manually navigate large maps or open world zones.
- Accept your active mission from the main story line.
- Tap the quest tracker panel located on the left side of the HUD.
- Allow your character to path automatically to the designated NPC or target zone.
Keep your main story quests active continuously. Chaining main quests together through the quest tracker provides the fastest early-game experience point (XP) gain without needing to manually inspect the map.
Toggling Combat Modes
Soul Land: New World features both automated fighting and full manual control. Use the Auto button on your HUD to switch between stances depending on the target:
| Feature | Automated Stance | Manual Control |
|---|---|---|
| Best Use Case | Clearing low-level mobs and passive XP grinding | Elite enemies, dungeon bosses, and phase mechanics |
| Target Priority | Nearest available target | High-threat bosses and primary mission targets |
| Skill Execution | Cycles skills on cooldown automatically | Player-timed ultimate and Martial Soul skills |
| AoE Response | Moves directly toward targets through attack zones | Manual dodging to step outside red hazard indicators |
Deactivate the auto-combat stance immediately if your character takes heavy damage from minor enemies or red ground indicators.
Overriding Automation in Boss Encounters
Automated combat does not automatically dodge telegraphed attacks or prioritize dangerous enemies over minor minion spawns. When fighting bosses:
- Reposition Manually: Override movement controls to dodge out of telegraphed red AoE zones before attack animations complete.
- Target Priority: Manually tap your high-damage Martial Soul skills and ultimate abilities directly on the primary boss to avoid splitting damage across minor mobs.
- Re-engage Auto Stance: Once you avoid the telegraphed strike, re-enable the auto button to let your character resume standard skill rotations until the next boss mechanic triggers.
Gear Optimization for Automated Progression
Automated combat relies heavily on your raw character statistics. Equipment upgrades ensure your automated skill rotations deal sufficient damage to clear zones efficiently.
- Check UI Notifications: Open your loadout screen whenever a green arrow appears next to your equipment or Soul Card slots.
- Stat Priority: Upgrade pieces that offer green arrow increases in attack power, defense, and soul power.
- Maintenance Routine: Compare and equip high-stat gear between major quest lines so automated combat sequences perform reliably against higher-level mobs.
