<-- You can tell if a location is a Town by the town icon on your World Map (key "M").
Towns, unlike outposts or mission Locations usually provide the full set of infrastructure:
- Henchmen
- Xunlai Agent (Storage)
- Merchant
- an Arena
- various Traders and Crafters:
- Armor Crafter
- Weaponsmith
- Rune Trader
- Material Trader
- Rare Material Trader
- Scroll trader
- Guild Registrar
- Skill trainer
- Collector(s)
Some towns have road signs marking sections of the town where NPCs offering similar services gather together.
For a list of towns, see Category:Towns
Note: Sometimes the term town actually means "towns and outposts" in player slang.
