The major features of Project Milestone are:

Botanist

• A new profession that replaced Gatherer.

Milestones

• A better structure for leveling up, based around reaching a milestone every 50 levels, with a new XP curve to match.
• Adjusts the level of repeated (i.e. reskinned) activities, such that there are no repeated activities within a milestone (and therefore there are no repeated activities within the first 50 levels of a profession).
• Milestone unlocks, such as new activities, bounties, world events and dungeons, which deliver meaningful rewards for reaching a milestone.
• New activities in many professions.

Bounties for all professions

• Bonus objectives, which add variety when leveling up.
• Rare bounties will sometimes appear, which give better rewards, but appear less frequently on the bounty board.

World events for all professions

• A repeating calendar of multiplayer events.

Dungeons for all professions

• Solo and multiplayer excursions into unexplored regions of Adothria.
• Remixes the profession in a whole new way, adding more options for leveling up.

New Crenopolis Activities

• Adding more variety to the Crenopolis professions.
