Town

"City" redirects here. For the Domain of Anguish area often called "city", see City of Torc'qua.

A town is a non-instanced location on the World Map, as opposed to explorable areas. It is similar to an outpost, but larger both in terms of size and NPC population, usually with all NPC services present.

Regions have at most a single town, with a few regions (such as the Ring of Fire Islands) having none at all.

Towns are also sometimes referred to as cities, and also as a general term used to encompass outposts and mission outposts.

You enter and exit a town by passing through a portal.
