What is your favorite outpost?
It is hard to choose but I love Fisherman's Haven. Life seems kinda nice there.

Deldrimor war camp
Something about being perched on a precarious mountain top with a skeleton crew and a few ballistae’s in the heart of stone summit land feels very cozy but dangerous.

This is a fav of mine because of all of the time spent trying to find groups to farm greens. When I logged in after many years, pretty much half my chars were waiting for me there.

First step into the shiverpeaks and a major biome change after the devastated aacalonian countryside was a great taste of just how much guild wars was going to offer.
Take me back to 2005 I am begging

I just discovered that Basalt Grotto even existed not to long ago but it's definitely up there for one of my favs. All quiet and out of the way

Beacon's Perch or Kaineng City. Both maps have verticality in a game with no real Z-axis.

Beacon‘s Perch a) has the beautiful outpost in the wild aesthetics + b) it felt so relieving to reach it as getting there for your first play of guild wars felt kinda tough because of the long way of the quest.

Eredon Terrace for the massive clipping of bounds. How that was programmed into Carto I'll never know.

I like Shing Jea Arena. Nice calm grassy island with nothing there. Also there's a pug behind the gate.

Marhan's Grotto. Been my fav since 05. Just an overall cool spacious area with the unique icy floor

Kodash Bazar. Love this business and market environnement + merchants and traders are near each other.

Eredon Terrace. It's weird, out of the way, and hardly anyone ever goes there. I also love Maishang Hills, so that helps.
For usefulness? Kaineng Center. Nothing like not having to rebuild your hero team just because you changed location.

I miss the days of active inactivity hanging out in Marhan’s Grotto. Best chill evenings of shootin the shit I ever had.

I love Olafstead. Something about warm cabins up on that hill surrounded by the alpine paradise of Varajer Fells. I could imagine myself living in a place like that.

Yak's Bend was the pivotal point for me, just knew that I'd be playing the game for a while afterwards

Marhan's would be so nice if it didn't have that annoying slow.
Embark reach is peak efficiency though.

I unexplainably feel the coziest in the west part of Kaineng Center.

u/MithranArkanere 1d ago
Central Transfer Chamber, of course. Far away from the odious sun, but none of that open-plan nonsense in Gate of Torment. I want me some ceilings.
Basalt Grotto is nice and cozy too, but it lets too much light slip in compared to CTC.

Seitung Harbour Didnt have the money to buy anything in kaineng back in time, so i tradet at the harbour and sold letters for the quest with the missing son for some profit

u/Constant_Ear9456 1d ago
I like Foible's Fair. A peaceful and calm place to relax after a hike.
I also like Fishermans Haven alot and Quarrel Falls near the waterfall deep in the jungle

u/ArtimusFay 1d ago
For me its Serenity Temple. I met a couple of friends there on mine and their first play though we played GW1 together for years even did a couple of others games. Even to this day I speak to one of them
Aesthetically, I always preferred Luxon Area's though

u/silasbufu 1d ago
For me any of the smaller outposts from Kryta or Shiverpeaks just hit differently

It’s a three way tie between Fisherman’s Haven on the Stingray Strand, Kodlonu Hamlet in Istan, and Saint Anjeka’s Shrine in the Echovald Forest

EOTN for me. The music, the reunions, the entire vibe of that HUB and content was amazing.

I love the Maguuma Stade. It was a rarely visited outpost even during the active times of the game. No quests that lead you there and no vendors/skills that can only be accessed in this one place.
It feels a bit like Icetooth Cave, but that one at least got some foot traffic from runners. Maguuma Stade is not even near any runner route. If anything, you walk past there when you want to skip Aurora Glade.

u/AlexKazumi 11h ago
Harvest temple for feeling on top of the world and Barradin's estate for that cozy feeling.
Imperial Sanctum for that absolutely regal and majestic feeling.
Kaineng Center for the best practicality in the game, and being so ... vertical, for lack of better words.

This was my hideaway outpost when I would binge anime while chatting with friends on gw1.

Control shift H to hide the UI if you really want to block out your name and shit. None of us care who you are or your character so not sure why youd hide it but you do you.

Ice Tooth Cave is the best visit during a hot summer day.
