Storage

Always try to get the storage bonus at every opportunity possible, as this will be important as it makes sure that you won't run out of space to store your items later on in the game.

Trading Tax

Getting this will help maximize your profits when selling items or equipment that you don't need from loots.

Faction Tokens

Taking the Faction Token bonus can help you get the gear you want from the Faction Shop early in the game, especially if you don't have proper gear equipped yet.

Faction Benefits

Standing Gain

Standing Gain bonus helps by having you earn more Standing exp, which increases your progression so you can get the other bonuses much quicker. This is great to have early on in the game.

XP Gain

Always take this one at the first level to increase the amount of exp you get from leveling. However, as tempting as it is to get more of this card, this does not scale well later on in the game. Putting one point is enough for this bonus.

Best Territory Standing Rewards (Crafting & Trading)

Priority	Effect
Storage ★★★	Increase storage space in the region's settlement.
Station Fee ★★★	Decrease crafting fee by a certain percentage for the current region.
Trading Tax ★★★	Decrease trading tax rate by a certain percentage for the current region.
Gather ★★	Increase resource gathering speed by a certain percentage for the current region.

Storage

This is an important bonus that you need to take every time it appears if you're a crafter. This will help you manage and store all the resources you get from gathering.

Since you will constantly be needing more space in your inventory, this bonus will help you out, especially later in the game.

Station Fee

Since you're to be crafting a lot as a crafter, taking this will help you lessen the amount of gold required for the crafting fee when crafting.

Trading Tax

Minimizing your tax is an ideal way to maximize your gold income. This is good when you're looking into selling crafted items to get gold from the Trading Post.

This is recommended for those looking to make big bucks through trading!

How to Gain Territory Standing

Quest Bonuses Faction Missions Gathering, Refining, and Crafting Clearing Mobs and Discovering Landmarks Cleansing Corrupted Breaches Town Board Missions

Quest Bonuses

A lot of quests given by settlement NPCs will have Territory Standing included as part of the bonuses. Accept them to accumulate territory standing quickly.

To view how much you get per quest, check out the quest summary before accepting one. Alternatively, the Journal (open with J) displays how much you earn per quest.

Faction Missions

You also gain standings when you turn in your Faction Missions. This applies to both the PvE and PvP missions, with PvE giving a larger reward.

Gathering, Refining, and Crafting

Basic actions such as gathering, refining, and crafting will also net players' territory standing. This means that players who prefer a crafting playstyle will not miss out on any of the bonuses!

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

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

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

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.
