New World: Infused Gypsum Greatsword Cast Added in Update 1.7.1

Are you wondering why there’s no Infused Gypsum Cast for the greatsword in New World? Well, that’s because Amazon Game Studios has not added it with the introduction of the said weapon. But that’s about to change in Update 1.7.1.

The Infused Gypsum Cast for the greatsword weapon is now available in New World. For the uninitiated, the Gypsum Cast adds a guaranteed Expertise bump on certain types of gear, in this case, the greatsword. The “Infused” version is where an Infused Orb is used, which bypasses the one-per-day mechanic.

Aside from the addition of the Infused Gypsum Cast, Update 1.7.1 re-enables certain quests, including the Roar of the Manticore and the Queen’s Brood.
