New World is a new MMORPG from Amazon, and it includes a massive world for players to explore. In order to build a New World empire, players will need to collect materials, build towns, and then upgrade them. And the way to upgrade a town is through Town Projects.
What is a Town Project?
Town Projects in New World's Aeternum are large-scale activities that multiple players on the same team have to complete together. These projects are chosen by the Governor or a Consul, and other players can take sections of each project on as missions.
Each mission completed moves the overall project a little closer to being finished. In order to start a Town Project, players just need to interact with a Town Project Board, located usually near the Town Hall building, and pay the cost of starting the project.
Players can pick up the many quests needed to complete the upgrade which will be available on the Town Project Board, which is refreshed every 30 minutes. In order to upgrade their towns as quickly and efficiently as possible, players should focus on the crafting and common resource quests, like Supplies Needed and the Metalworkers Needed New World smelting quests.
Town Projects that Upgrade Settlements and Forts
There are five total tiers for both forts and settlements that players can use Town Projects to achieve. Players can upgrade their towns, but towns that are not properly maintained will also be downgraded over time.
- Tier 1 Settlement - Hamlet
- Tier 2 Settlement - Village
- Tier 3 Settlement - Town
- Tier 4 Settlement - City
- Tier 5 Settlement - Capitol
- Tier 1 Fort - Fort
- Tier 2 Fort- Bastion
- Tier 3 Fort- Keep
- Tier 4 Fort- Castle
- Tier 5 Fort - Citadel
Each new level of upgrade to the fort or town expands the inhabitant's ability to upgrade elements of their home, expands defenses, and other boosts to the overall health and productivity of the area.
