Avowed fast travel will help you get around an expanding map very quickly. It's especially handy when you're moving between different areas a lot, trying to uncover secrets, loot, crafting materials and totem pieces. Certain quests will also have you moving around various regions a lot in Avowed, so cutting down on travel time speeds things along greatly. Best of all, it's free to use but it relies on you finding beacons yourself, so here's everything you need to know about setting up and using fast travel in Avowed.

How to unlock Avowed fast travel

To unlock fast travel points in Avowed you simply need to approach a Fast Travel Beacon to automatically activate it. Discovering them is enough to get them working and add them to your map. These beacons look like ornate braziers with a pink flame burning on top (as you can see above) and you'll receive an on-screen notification and hear a noise when you're close enough to permanently activate one and add it to your map.

In addition to these beacons, every Avowed Party Camp also acts as a fast travel point, giving you more options to get around quickly.

To use Avowed fast travel, you just have to open your map and hover the cursor over one of the Fast Travel Beacons or Party Camps you've previously unlocked. Once highlighted, you'll see a 'Travel Here' prompt appear at the bottom of the screen. You can then hit that and accept the 'Confirm Fast Travel' message that appears to then be teleported off to your chosen destination.

While you can use Avowed fast travel almost anywhere and at any time, there will be situations when it's temporarily disabled, usually because you're in a dungeon or in a critical part of the main quest. When this is the case, the icon of a Fast Travel Beacon with a cross through it will appear next to the compass in the top-left corner of your screen. When you can see that you'll just need to continue on foot until you've completed the current quest or got out of the dungeon you're in.
