Clearing Mobs and Discovering Landmarks

Defeating hostile enemies and discovering landmarks within a region will give you a small amount of territory standing. Even if you're rewarded a small amount, these will all add up as you explore more later on.

Cleansing Corrupted Breaches

Cleansing Corrupted Breaches will net you a lot of territory standing once completed. This not only grants you more territory bonuses, but it also helps keep the area safe for other players.

Town Board Missions

New World - Town Board Missions

Settlements will usually have Town Board Missions available. These special quests help out the region's settlement by working towards upgrading its infrastructure.

Do your part and help out by taking on these quests as they also give territory standing bonuses on top of improving quality of life!

Territory Standing System

Region-Based Leveling System

New World - Territory Standing Overview
Territory Standing is a leveling system that rewards the player with certain bonuses, which grants buffs, extra storage capacity, and even reduce tax if certain tasks are accomplished within a region.

You'll be able to select from 3 random bonuses every time you level a region up. Keep in mind that you won't be able to reset the bonuses you selected, and you'll be stuck with your selection.

Region-Locked Bonuses

New World - Newcomer
However, do note that these unique bonuses will only apply to the leveled up region. Entering a new region will not carry over your territory standing. You'll have to raise your standing over that region again if you want to enjoy the same bonuses as before.

Viewing Territory Standings

If you want to check your standing for each region, open up your world map with M and select either the Territory Standings tab or the settlement itself (on the map) to display a summary of your status.

Can you change these later on? I would focus on end game perks and not levelling ones as levelling is temporary.
