In this guide, I will explain the importance of increasing your town rank in Coral Island and showcase how to increase it quickly.

How to Increase Town Rank in Coral Island

There are three ways to increase your town rank in Coral Island: progressing the lake temple, donating to the museum, and activating solar orbs. Let’s examine each method in turn.

Progress the Lake Temple

Located on the top right side of the island, the lake temple works similarly to the community center in Stardew Valley. Players should donate specific items (crops, forageables, and more) from each season.

All the available bundles in the first altar in the Lake Temple. Offering items increases town rank.

Each time players complete any section of items, they get some progress in the town rank.

Since there is a different lake temple bundle for each season, completing everything immediately isn’t an option. However, players should try and complete the bundle of the season they are currently in.

All it takes is harvesting specific crops and gathering some forageable items. As long as you follow one of the best beginners’ tips in the game, which is hoarding instead of selling, completing the lake temple will be fairly easy.

Donate to the Museum

Donate items and bugs to the museum to increase town rank in Coral Island.

The museum is a key part of progression in Coral Island. Players can donate artifacts and bugs to increase the number of displayed items.

In short, the more displayed items in the museum, the more your town rank increases. The best option is to visit the museum after every adventure you have and donate whatever you can.

Mining and bug catching will be your main activities for getting items to donate to the museum.

Activate Solar Orbs

Activating a solar orb emits a light wave that clears oil spills and increases town ranking.

Solar orbs are the core mechanic of the diving system in Coral Island. If you’re unsure of how they work, consider checking out our guide on how to activate solar orbs.

Whenever you activate a solar orb, a small part of the oil spill gets removed and the ocean becomes slightly cleaner. Thus, for each solar orb activated, players get some progress in their town rank.

Why Should You Care About Town Rank

Progressing town rank is a key part of the story. It unlocks new quests and villager interactions. Most importantly, it unlocks new items for purchase.

For instance, the most profitable crop in the summer season is the pineapple, which can only be bought at town rank D. Similarly, the most profitable crop in the spring season is the strawberry, available only at town rank D.

The same applies to other purchasable items, like hairstyles and outfits. But we won’t spoil all the surprises. Try and increase your town rank and see all the new items you unlock.

Conclusion

That’s everything you need to know to increase your town rank quickly in Coral Island. Progress the lake temple bundles, donate items to the museum, and activate solar orbs in the ocean.

Each of these activities will slowly increase your rank and you’ll be able to buy better items from villagers.
