Outpost

An Outpost is a type of staging area, smaller than a town, and does not offer the full set of infrastructure. Usually you'll only find a merchant, a Xunlai Agent, often a Skill Trainer and sometimes a Trader or Collector. There are a few outposts in which you can find an armorer and a weaponsmith. Unlike mission locations, outposts will always offer something extra beyond the basic merchant and agent. It could be a trainer or a quest giving NPC or something else.

Outposts are annotated on the continental map (default key "M") using different icons in different campaigns:
