All villages will have access to special projects that they can work towards as a community. These projects are challenging and difficult to obtain, but grant special permanent rewards for the village.
In total, there are 19 projects to improve the Village. The projects include 4 types of gathering node improvements, 4 to build and improve crafting stations. The improvements are available to all village members whether they are using a crafting station in the village or in the open world. There are also several projects for appearances (Statues, Empyrian Machine, Arboretum, Soilworks), and projects for conveniences (Vault, Training Grounds). A special repeatable project - Wellspring - grants all village members a buff that lasts a few days each time it is completed.
Projects are improved every time they rank up, and projects rank up when enough materials are donated to it via daily tasks.

Once Rank I is achieved, crafting stations become available to use in the village. As more Ranks are completed, the Crafting Stations gain Bonuses like Increased Experience, Decreased crafting costs, adding runes to equipment, faster crafting, enhancing your gear and easier ways to make some Refined Materials.
