Tower of Fantasy Guide: How to Get to Your Artificial Island
Tower of Fantasy is off to a strong start, with more than 10 million downloads following its global release. Though heavily inspired by Genshin Impact--with an emphasis on open exploration, gacha-style character collecting, and action RPG combat--Tower of Fantasy does more than enough to stand on its own. Part of that is thanks to the game's MMORPG elements, with options to join guilds, team up to tackle world bosses, help fellow players with puzzles, and more.

How to get to your Artificial island
The Artificial island was released in version 1.5 and is your new best friend for helping F2P and low spenders gain additional resources on their accounts. Essentially you're upgrading a base home to include facilities that produce materials for upgrades. You also have a chance to obtain SSR matrix chips, arguably the most significant value gained.
How to get started with your Artificial island
Unfortunately, you can't access the Artificial island until you've met the requirements. You need to be at least level 50 and accept the quest from Kalador (which you'll see listed in your Special Operations tab > Artificial Island). You'll enter the Artificial island by hopping on the jet at Banges' dock.
You cannot build until you've reached level 60 or have 50% of the inner map explored. It may seem like a tall order to be level 50 to get the quest and 60 to unlock build mode, but the global version often has 500% EXP server boosts; it will only take a few days to reach those levels if server boosts are turned on in your channel.
Building your facilities
Getting your facilities up and running and then upgrading them to the max level is why you care about the Artificial island in the first place. Construction takes real-time; it may take a few months to get everything maxed out.
To start building, navigate to the main menu and tap Build > Go > Ok.
You cannot manually set down your buildings; everything is pre-set to a location. You'll interact with each building individually and have to feed it material to begin construction.
Your priority is to upgrade the Development Center level; that way, you can increase the level cap of Workstations. Your Workstations increase the number of workers (there are types), improving efficiency for collecting resources. You'll slay monsters around the camp to obtain the suitable materials for levels/upgrades (remember, common enemies respawn every three days, and bosses are every seven).
Tip: Workstations only store resources for up to 24 hours (has a limit); you must collect your resources manually.
How to Leave the Artificial Island
When you want to leave the Artificial Island, you’ll need to return to your base and interact with the airship there. There is no way to fast travel between it and Asperia, so be sure to grab the Spacerift near the ship.
Whenever you want to return to the Artificial Island, you can either return to Banges and use the Airship or, more conveniently, open the main menu and select the Casual node. In the Casual menu, you can access the Building and Fishing activities. Selecting Building will take you to the Building Resources screen. Select Go in the bottom right to travel to the Island.
Final Thoughts
Now you've got access to the Artificial Island in Tower of Fantasy. There are dozens of additional hours of farming, raiding, and progression there, so take your time exploring and continuing your progression.
