New World Aeternum Goldcursed Coconut (And Why It Matters)
New World Aeternum features numerous rare resources, but few are as rare as the Goldcursed Coconut. This crafting resource holds Tier V status and comes with significant acquisition restrictions that make it one of the most valuable items in the game.
The Goldcursed Coconut operates under a strict weekly limit system. Each player can obtain only one Goldcursed Coconut per week, creating a time gate that affects crafting strategies and market dynamics. In this article, we'll explore everything you need to know about Goldcursed Coconut, including what it is, how to find it, and why it matters.

Where to Find the Goldcursed Coconut
The Goldcursed Coconut drops exclusively from Cursed Horde chests in the Cutlass Keys PvP Free-For-All zone. These are the large, elite-style chests found throughout The Cursed Mists area, not the smaller Cursed Stash chests. Recent updates have changed the drop system, coconuts are no longer guaranteed and have an estimated 20% drop rate, meaning you may need multiple attempts or could go weeks without finding one.
The Citadel offers the highest concentration of these chests, located in the far western section of The Cursed Mists. Multiple large chests spawn within close proximity here, making it the most efficient farming location despite being the riskiest area.
Safer alternatives include the Pond Scum Port route and areas along the northern coast near Runwood and Weirdwood. The top right section of the PvP zone also contains Cursed Horde chests mixed with named NPCs.
You won't lose your Goldcursed Coconut if you die in the PvP zone, but you will drop all carried Mystic Doubloons. Using your weekly key on these red chests guarantees over 500 doubloons, though the coconut drop remains subject to RNG.

What is Goldcursed Coconut Used For
The Goldcursed Coconut is a crucial apex crafting ingredient used in the Gypsum Kiln to upgrade artifact gear pieces (weapons, armor, or jewelry) to gear score 725. This crafting recipe also requires:
600 Dark Matter
5 Gypsum Orbs
1 Chromatic Seal
The Goldcursed Coconut
The coconut can also be used at the Well of Fortune in Cutlass Keys to purchase guaranteed 725 gear score items for 1,800 Mystic Doubloons plus one Goldcursed Coconut. However, this method is expensive and less efficient than the gypsum kiln upgrade path.
Additionally, you can upgrade 710 Named Gold Cursed weapons from the Well of Fortune to 725 gear score using the coconut along with 2,000 Mystic Doubloons and Dark Matter. This allows you to customize perks and create optimized builds for both PvP and PvE content.
Upgrading from GS 700 to GS 725 typically yields about 4 additional attribute points per piece, which adds up across multiple artifacts to significantly boost your build.

What to Do with the Doubloons at the Well of Fortune
Farming chests without getting a coconut means you'll earn plenty of Mystic Doubloons. These aren't just for PvP weapons or gambling at the Well of Fortune. At the Cutlass Keys Well of Fortune, you can exchange doubloons for various items. The Glittering Gold Key costs five Mystic Doubloons and allows you to unlock a chest every week that gives you 500 doubloons. This weekly investment returns 100x your cost.
The Well of Fortune also offers PvP-oriented weaponry and gambling crates for 710 gear. However, several consumables and crafting materials provide value for PvE players:
Dark Matter
Gypsum Orbs
Honing Stones
and more!
These items can be resold on the Trading Post for profit. Gypsum Orbs sell well if you have maxed crafting skills, while trade skill meals and crafting mods consistently find buyers. Even without PvP focus, Mystic Doubloons remain worthwhile for PvE players seeking crafting materials and consumables.

How often can I get the Goldcursed Coconut?
You can attempt to get one Goldcursed Coconut per week from Cursed Horde chests in Cutlass Keys, but it's no longer guaranteed. The drop rate is estimated at around 20%, so you may need multiple attempts or go weeks without finding one.
What do I need to upgrade my artifact to 725?
You'll need 600 Dark Matter, five Gypsum Orbs, one Chromatic Seal, and the Goldcursed Coconut.
Where can I find the Cursed Horde chests?
The Citadel area in the far western section of The Cursed Mists has the highest concentration of Cursed Horde chests. Safer alternatives include Pond Scum Port and areas near Runwood and Weirdwood.
Are Doubloons only for PvP items?
No. You can use Doubloons for crafting materials, consumables, the weekly Glittering Gold Key, and various useful items at the Well of Fortune.
What's the benefit of upgrading to GS 725?
Upgrading to GS 725 adds approximately 4 attribute points per piece and significantly improves your build's overall effectiveness.
Final Words
The Goldcursed Coconut remains one of New World Aeternum's most valuable crafting materials despite the recent drop rate changes. The weekly RNG system makes acquisition less predictable, but the payoff for reaching 725 gear score justifies the effort. Focus on efficient chest routes in The Cursed Mists and don't forget your weekly Glittering Gold Key for guaranteed doubloons.
