Mission outpost

You can tell if a location is an Mission Location by the Mission icon on your World Map (key "M"). A NON-Mission Outpost, Town or City has a small round gold icon.

A mission location does not necessarily offer any services beyond the basic services of a merchant, a Xunlai Agent and an NPC who provides the mission details depending on if it is an Outpost, Town or a City. Only in mission locations will the Party List have the button Enter Mission.

Prophecies Campaign

The Prophecies shield will show up with no swords, 1 sword or 2 swords to signify that you have completed (Respectively) the mission and/or mission bonus.

Factions Campaign

The Factions icon will be that of a circular shield. The shield will have no swords, 1 sword, 2 swords, or 2 swords and a spear through it to signify that you have completed (Respectively) Standard, Expert, or Masters' reward on that mission. The shield will be colored gold, blue or red depending on wheter it is a Canthan, Kurzick or Luxon mission.

(Add Nightfall Mission icon here) Nightfall Campaign

The Nightfall icon will be that of a circular sunburst shield, with 1 knife, 2 knives or 2 knives and a spear through it to signify that you have completed (Respectively) Standard, Expert, or Masters' reward on that mission. Elona and the Realm of Torment use slightly different styles of shields.
