A mission outpost is a staging area that functions like an outpost and allows player parties to enter a mission. Like outposts, they offer relatively few services.
Typical mission outpost services[ | ]
- NPC that provides the mission details.
- Storage: Xunlai Agent and Xunlai Chest
- Merchant
- Henchmen
- Quest-related NPCs
Services rarely available at mission outposts[ | ]
World map appearance[ | ]
Mission outposts are annotated on the World Map (default key "M") using different icons in different campaigns:
Prophecies | Factions | Nightfall | Realm of Torment | Hard Mode |
Note: The map icon will update depending on the Mission rewards you have received:
- In Prophecies, the icon shows 1 sword pointing to the right after completing the mission and 1 sword pointing to the left after completing the bonus.
- In Factions, the icon shows 1, 2, or 3 broadswords (last one with a red tassel), respectively, after receiving the Standard, Expert, or Master's reward.
- The center boss of the shield is blue in the Echovald Forest and red in The Jade Sea, the respective colors of the Kurzick and Luxon factions.
- In Nightfall and the Realm of Torment, the icon shows 1 Kournan sword, 2 Kournan swords, or 2 Kournan swords and 1 sunburst spear after receiving the Standard, Expert, or Master's reward, respectively.
- If the mission is not yet available to a character, it will show an outpost icon on the world map.
- In Hard mode, the mission icon is red if incomplete and turns gold after completion, with flamberges replacing the swords and spears of the normal mode icons.
Notes[ | ]
- In Tyrian and Canthan mission outposts, the Party List window will have an Enter Mission button; Elonian missions are entered by talking to the NPC displaying a green mission icon.
- Nightfall mission outposts tend to have more services and NPCs than the other campaigns.
