Maximize Every Point

Before we delve into the main strategies, let's establish the groundwork for efficiency. Think of these as your pre-battle buffs—they amplify everything that follows, turning good runs into great ones.

First up, grab a Territory Standing Booster from your inventory. These gems pop up in Season Pass rewards, even on the free track, so check your haul from past seasons.

Pop one before any activity, and watch your gains multiply like wild motes in a storm.

Next, slot in the Town Loyalty perk on your bag. This bad boy delivers a flat 15% boost to all Territory Standing earned, stacking seamlessly with other bonuses for that extra edge.

It's like having a loyal sidekick who never sleeps—equip it and forget it, but always appreciate the quiet power.

Finally, tune up your lute (or whatever instrument you've got) for the Territorial Triumph buff from the Music trade skill. Unlocked around level 5, this song grants a 10–30% Territory Standing bonus lasting 30–90 minutes, depending on your skill level.

Strum it post-performance, and it's like the game whispering, "Hey, take it easy—this grind just got smoother." Pro tip: Queue it up before long sessions; the buff's duration covers multiple activities without constant replays.

With these in your toolkit, you're primed. Now, let's break down the core methods, starting with a classic that still crushes.

Method 1: Refining Motes

Refining motes at the Arcana station is the gold standard (pun intended) for Territory Standing farming. It's straightforward, scalable, and lets you recoup costs by flipping extras on the Trading Post. I've burned through stacks of these in Cutlass Keys to fortify my beachside homestead, and it never disappoints.

Start by scouting the Trading Post for the cheapest motes—Earth, Air, Fire, whatever's dipping low. Place buy orders for bulk quantities; don't splash gold on instant buys unless you're flush. This passive approach snags deals over time, keeping your wallet happy.

Once you've got a haul (say, a few stacks of Earth Motes), head to the Arcana station in your target territory, like Cutlass Keys for that tropical vibe.

The magic happens in condensation: Combine basic motes into Wisps, then Wisps into Essences, and so on up to Quintessences. No extra ingredients needed—just pure motes fueling the chain.

Each step nets hefty Territory Standing: A single Wisp refinement might drop 18,000 points, scaling up as you go. Layer on your prep buffs, and you're looking at exponential returns.

Bonus thrill: Equip gear with relevant perks or align with territory fort bonuses to proc rare drops like higher-tier Essences. Sell those on the Post for quick gold, or hoard for your own potions.

It's pricey upfront (motes ain't free), but the ROI shines if you're patient with orders. Aim for sessions in quieter territories to avoid competition—your standing will climb faster than a Corrupted treant.

Method 2: Bulk Cooking

If Arcana feels too arcane (sorry, had to), pivot to the kitchens. Mass-crafting meals with cheap ingredients is a low-barrier powerhouse for Territory Standing, especially when you're encumbered with raw goods but light on gold.

Hit the Trading Post again, this time targeting bargain-basement categories: meats, fish, veggies, grains. Buy orders are your friend—snag variety at rock-bottom prices to fill recipe slots without breaking the bank. Use your four consumable slots to stash extras, dodging that pesky overweight debuff mid-run.

Park at the Cooking station in your chosen territory (Cutlass Keys works wonders for seafood twists). Prioritize high-yield recipes like Party Meals if your ingredients align perfectly—they demand five types but reward massively, up to 19,000 Standing per craft.

If not, default to reliable staples like Energizing Travel Rations. Batch-craft hundreds: One run of 700 might yield 6,000 Standing, plus Cooking XP to boot.

The catch? Your inventory balloons with finished dishes. Vendor low-value ones, relist on the Post, or—gasp—drop 'em if space is tight. To amp it further, pair with the camp trick we'll cover next for dual benefits.

This method's beauty is its accessibility: No rare mats, just smart shopping and stamina. I've turned late-night sessions into Standing sprees, emerging with a full belly of progress.

Method 3: Camp-Crafted Infused Alkahest

For a twist that blends crafting with a dash of adrenaline, craft Infused Alkahest at a forward camp outside town. This Arcana staple (used for top-tier potions) demands Azoth Water (pricey but essential), Hyssop (affordable herb), and Water (basically free from rivers). It's a smart pivot if motes are scarce, and Season 10's PvP track makes the side hustle even sweeter with new gear sets on offer.

Flag for PvP first—wait the 30-second timer to go live—then drop your camp just beyond the territory border. This setup not only grants Territory Standing and Arcana XP per craft (around 1,500–1,800 per batch) but also spits out Azoth Salt as a bonus, a hot commodity for those PvP rewards.

Craft away: Mix your mats, fire up the station, and watch the pops—Standing flows steadily while Salt stacks for trades or personal use.

Why outside? Camps enable on-the-go crafting without station queues, and the PvP flag juices the yields. Tie it back to cooking by whipping up meals at the same camp for layered gains. It's riskier (gankers lurk), but rewarding—like stealing a boss drop mid-fight. In Nighthaven's shadowy wilds, this could fund your house plot while scouting the zone's secrets.
