Continue reading to learn how to build Territory Standing in New World and easily earn these beneficial bonuses.
To build Territory Standing in New World, players must focus on completing quests and objectives within the specific territory. For example, earning Territory Rewards in Everfall will be permanent but won't carry over to another region like Windsward. The benefits that New World provides for each area are the same. The only difference would be the level of the quests and enemies in the particular province. Players can gain Territory Standing from slaying enemies, clearing Corrupted Breaches, and even crafting. However, the easy way to build Territory Standing in New World is to complete Town Projects.
The Easy Way to Build Territory Standing in New World
The Town Project Board is a boon of opportunities to boost a New World player's XP and Territory Standing for a distinct region. Town Projects are an easy way of building Territory Standing because of the two bonuses that directly correlate with their quests. "Standing Gain" is the most obvious bonus, providing a percentage increase to how much reputation a player earns. The more valuable reward that players should put their Standing points into is the "Storage Increase." The more crafting materials and important resources (and items) that players can hold, the more Town Projects they will be able to complete — therefore, exponentially increasing the rate at which players can gain Standing. Hauling items back and forth from the projects board to one's settlement storage shouldn't take that long and is an efficient way of raising Territory Standing.
Being able to hold more items in storage also means the player has more room to store their gathered resources for crafting. As mentioned before, crafting will increase Territory Standing within a region. Keep in mind that refining or gathering materials such as mining or woodcutting in New World do not improve one's Standing. Town Projects will often require players to provide a crafted item for completion. With increased storage space to carry as many craftable resources as possible, this Town Projects method of building Territory Standing in New World will assuredly be easy for players.
