When you play in the world of Aeternum, you’ll earn points called ‘Territory Standing.’ These points are really important because they unlock cool stuff that makes your adventure easier. In this guide, we’ll talk about what Territory Standing is, how to choose the right upgrades, and the best ways to level up quickly.
What is Territory Standing Points
In New World, Territory Standing is like your reputation in a specific area. The more you do things there, like completing quests, crafting items, or fighting enemies, the better your reputation becomes. As your reputation grows, you get rewards like faster gathering, lower taxes, more storage space, or cheaper crafting costs. It’s a system that helps you make things easier for yourself based on what you want to do in that area.
How to Earn Territory Standing Points
There are many ways to improve your reputation in a territory in New World. Here are some of the most effective methods.
Going New Places
Explore new areas to earn reputation and discover hidden landmarks. You can also pick up quests along the way for extra experience, gold, and more reputation. This is a great way to level up your character while discovering new places.
Take down Corrupted Portals
Keep an eye out for messages about group events to take down corrupted portals. Joining a group can help you earn reputation, weapon experience, and rewards from chests. Harder portals offer better rewards, starting at around 300 reputation points for smaller ones.
Cooking easy Dishes
To quickly increase your reputation, start by gathering cheap ingredients like red meat and fish. Before cooking, play the Territorial Triumph song to get a bonus to your reputation. Then, head to the kitchen and cook travel rations using your gathered ingredients. This can earn you a lot of reputation points at once. If you have enough resources, this is a very effective method. I gained over 11,000 reputation points in just a few batches.
Crafting new Items
You will have hundreds and hundreds of items and gold and want to see your reputation really grow, so you can craft a bunch of items. Crafting gives reputation points, and with each batch it is pretty much around 920 points.
