What determines whether or not there will be a town project / lifestyle bonus? On my server, In all of the 3 zones where I own a house, there’s currently 0 active project bonuses, and the x3 “Lifestyle bonus” townboard missions are blank.
It seems pointless to craft high-tier armor / weapons without the relevant town bonus, i.e. “Engineer’s Patience”, which give +5 minimum GS, but I haven’t seen any of these buffs in the past 2 weeks I’ve been looking.
I see, is there any reason to not have them active? I’m looking at the Windsward coffer, 500k income but there hasn’t been a town project bonus in this territory for the past 2 weeks at least! To what I can see, they only cost 2.5k to activate - do they prevent something else from being upgraded if selected etc?
Nope, they do not prevent anything else. And, they can have multiple active.
The only reason not to have them active is you want to keep the money. Lots of companies are just siphoning money off towns to buy mats and gear for their friends.
Also, the company just might not be there anymore (though with the tax income you are describing it doesn’t seem like your server is dead).
