Outpost

From Guild Wars Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

An outpost is a non-instanced location on the World Map, as opposed to an explorable area. It is similar to a town but smaller. NPC services offered in outposts are limited, usually to storage and a merchant, but sometimes a few other services are available. Some outposts have missions available and are also called mission outposts. Outposts (excluding mission outposts) aren't shown when zoomed out on the World Map, unlike towns.

Every region has at least one outpost.

  1. The World Map may mark this location with the icon for an outpost upon initial arrival. It changes into the icon for a mission outpost only upon completion of the preceding quest or mission(s) of that outpost's mission.
  • The mission Ascalon Academy is obtained from Ascalon City in pre-Searing Prophecies, but is not actually listed in the game as a mission outpost.
