Diablo 4's Waypoint system serves as the backbone of the game's fast travel network, allowing players to efficiently traverse the vast realm of Sanctuary. This sophisticated transportation system features strategically placed markers throughout the game world, functioning as crucial checkpoints that dramatically reduce travel time.

Waypoints in Diablo 4 are magical transportation nodes that appear as circular stone plates with distinctive triangle and circle markings embedded in the ground. These ancient devices serve as permanent fast-travel locations, enabling players to instantly teleport between discovered points across Sanctuary's five major regions. Once activated, they glow with a bright blue light, indicating their ready-to-use status.

• Activate It: Walk over or interact with the Waypoint to activate it.

• Strongholds Requirement: Some Waypoints require clearing Strongholds before they become accessible.

• Renown Points: Each activated Waypoint rewards players with 20 Renown points.
