Hi, Im new to FFXI (two weeks) and have an important question. How does teleporting to outposts work? When I visit them, I dont see anything to activate or any dialogue on an NPC that says I can teleport to them thereafter. Thanks in advance.

Getting outpost teleports can be a bit tricky. You need to run a supply mission to the outpost before you can teleport to it. To further complicate things, the region that outpost is in must be under your home nations control (Conquest) before you can even get the supply mission for said outpost. Available supply missions are received from City Conquest Overseers located next to the gates leaving the city (home nation).

Ok cool, I got one. Now how do I warp to it?

Each nation will have an NPC close to one of the mog houses that can warp you. Which city are you in?
