A mission location 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 location services[]

Services rarely available at mission locations[]

World map appearance[]

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

MissionIcon FactionsMissionIcon Nightfall Mission icon (Elona) Nightfall Mission icon (Realm of Torment) Hard Mission 3 sword
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.
  • 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 Locations, the Party List window will have an Enter Mission button; Elonian missions are entered by talking to the NPC displaying a green crown.
  • Nightfall Mission Locations tend to have more services and NPCs than the other Campaigns.
