Outpost (FFXI)  

Border guards from the nation with the strongest presence are assigned to these posts to direct conquest efforts and provide support for adventurers. Some of these outposts consist of guardhouses and walls, while others are simply a patch of earth where the controlling nation's banner is displayed.

These outposts are typically manned by a guard from the nation in control of the region, as well as an outpost vendor. Guards will cast signet on an adventurer and allow the adventurer to set their homepoint at the outpost; the outpost vendor will sell you items and accept items traded to them in exchange for conquest points. The outpost vendor will also, after a supply run quest has been completed for that region, teleport an adventurer back to their home nation for a fee. These are referred to as outpost warps.
