Illustration of node advancement from Expedition (stage 1) to Metropolis (stage 6).

Citizen and non-citizen player activity (questing, gathering, raiding, etc.) within a node's ZOI counts toward that particular node’s advancement (progression).[1] Nodes have seven (7) stages of advancement, with experience thresholds for each stage. When a Node reaches the experience required for its current stage, it advances to the next stage.[2]

Node stage.[1] Alternate name.[3] Timeframe to advance.[1] Player housing.[4]
0. Wilderness -
1. Expedition Crossroads Few hours -
2. Encampment Camp Many hours -
3. Village - Few days Freeholds, Static housing
4. Town - Many days Freeholds, Static housing, Apartments
5. City - Few weeks Freeholds, Static housing, Apartments
6. Metropolis Metro Many weeks Freeholds, Static housing, Apartments
Conceptual illustration. Nodes that are in the ZOI of more advanced nodes have their progression capped by the more advanced node.[5]

The advancement of a node unlocks its unique content, which comes at the cost of locking out an increasing ring of neighboring nodes from progressing to the next stage.[6]

  • Nodes advance to the first stage quickly. This enables NPC services such as vending or banking items.[7]
  • The more advanced the node is, the larger its ZOI becomes.[4]
  • Less advanced nodes (referred to as vassal nodes) that fall within a more advanced node's ZOI can still gain XP, but must remain at a lower advancement stage than the dominant node.[5]
  • A node does not receive XP from the nodes within its ZOI until these nodes have reached their cap.[5]
  • Players are moved to safety if they intersect with newly spawned assets during node advancement.[8]
  • Citizens of one node can contribute to the advancement of other nodes.[9]
  • The exact percentage of advancement from obtaining items or killing monsters is not going to be explicitly known to avoid "gaming" the system.[10]

Different people have different resources invested in nodes progressing and it would be a little "gamey" if you could know exactly what was necessary at that point because that would disincentivize people from participating.[10] – Steven Sharif
