In the world of Aeternum, it could be a bit surprising to hear what some of the most valuable items are. Most players initially think it’s max gearscore armor, or weapons, or maybe even certain crafting components, but it’s none of those things. Instead, it’s a combination of fancy furniture, music sheets, transmog skins, and a few other one-off items.
Below is a growing list of some of the most expensive items in New World: Aeternum, and where you can farm them. Who knows – maybe you even have some of these items today and don’t even realize it!
1.) Goldfish in Porcelain Bowl
Yes – believe it or not, one of the most expensive items in New World: Aeternum is a goldfish. This piece of furniture has an extremely low drop chance, and can only be found within Elite Ancient Chests and Elite Supply Chests within Ebonscale Reach. The best area to find these chests is at Imperial Shrine, located in the lower left corner of Ebonscale Reach.
A golfish in porcelain bowl has been recently sold for over 900k gold, and is extremely sought after by collectors.
2.) Bonsai Centerpiece
Next up is another piece of furniture, but this time it’s a plant! The bonsai centerpiece is considered by-far one of the most expensive items in New World, and it’s actually also found in the same chests and location as the goldfish mentioned above.
A bonsai centerpiece was recently sold this month (August 2025) for 750k gold.
3.) Tea Serving Set
Believe it or not, it’s more furniture. This is the last one on the list though (we swear). The final piece of furniture on this list is the Tea Serving Set, and this is also an exclusive piece of furniture that can only be found from Elite Ancient Chests and Elite Supply Chests within Ebonscale Reach.
Although all three of these furniture pieces are all found in the same location, they each have a very, very low chance of actually being collected when gathering these chests. It’s recommended to run a daily chest run each day at the Imperial Shrine in Ebonscale Reach to test your luck if you’re low on gold!

4.) Glass Weapon Transmogs
The next item on the list varies based on which one you get – but we’re talking about glass weapon transmogs! Within New World: Aeternum, every time you pick up a new weapon, you unlock the ability to use a Transmog Token to essentially “save” the appearance of the item, and use it as a skin on any future item of that type.
Interestingly, there are a few unique weapons in the game that visually look very, very clear (almost like glass), and a majority of the player base is willing to pay top-dollar for its transmog!
To view all of the different glass skins in the game, visit NWDB and type in “glass” in the search bar, and every glass-based weapon will appear. Just to give you a quick example, the glass-based sword (known as “Frostbite”) is currently being sold for 250k gold on most servers. Additionally, the glass-based musket (known as “:Cold Bore”) is currently going for around 90k gold.
Each of these glass weapon transmogs can be acquired in different, unique ways, and each have a different value. Be sure to check your inventory and storage, as you may already have some of these sitting around!
5.) Gorgonite Schematics
The next item on the list of most expensive items in New World: Aeternum are Gorgonite Schematics. By completing the Hive of Gorgons raid, you will have a very small chance of acquiring a unique Gorgonite Schematic after defeating the final boss. If you’re lucky enough to get one of these – congratulations, you just made some gold!
Depending on what specific type of Gorgonite Schematic you receive determines the overall value of the item. Some of the weapon schematics are going for between 150k to 200k, while some of the armor schematics go for as little as 15k depending on the piece.
It’s important to note that you will only have one chance per week of acquiring one of these Gorgonite Schematics, and that chance only happens once you defeat the final boss in the Hive of Gorgons.

6.) Canarios: Guitar Sheet Music
This next piece isn’t furniture or schematics, but it’s still a bit of an odd item – it’s a music sheet! Some players in New World: Aeternum truly are perfectionists, and they try to collect every piece of music available in the game. This specific piece, the Canarios: Guitar Sheet Music, can only be found within one location – the Canary Mines.
Just like all of the other items on this list, the overall drop rate and chance of actually getting this music sheet is extremely low (but not impossible)! This specific music sheet is consistently sold for around 45k gold on most servers.
7.) Soulwarden’s Journey: Guitar Sheet Music
Thie Soulwarden’s Journey: Guitar Sheet Music makes the list of most expensive items in New World: Aeternum simply because of how difficult it is to get your hands on. This specific sheet of music can be found by killing mobs or gathering chests in two specific points of interest: Chason Steep and Alioth.
This music sheet is also going for roughly 45k gold on most servers.
