New World will take you into the exploration of a fictional land based on the Americas. You will be looking to harvest resources, craft items, get control of settlements, complete quests, explore, PVP, or fight off monsters. 

Cooking is one of the many activities that players can take part in considering cooking and eating meals can give players specific buffs. One of the ingredients used in cooking certain recipes is Peppercorn. As you head into this dangerous world, you will need to know how to get yourself some peppercorns for cooking. We’ll show you how in this guide.

Windsward, Everfall, First Light, and Monarch’s Bluffs are the locations where players can commonly find herbs. Also, players won’t get peppercorns for every herb they harvest. Peppercorn is a chance drop and players have to explore the above-mentioned locations to find and harvest herbs for a chance of getting Peppercorn. The chance of you receiving some is increased by your Gathering skill level. In addition, keep in mind you’ll need to craft a Harvesting Sickle first. This can be done at any camp. 

Of course, if you have many New World Gold Coins, you can buy these items at Trading Post. It will save you lots of time to do other things.
