Icons are symbols on a player's map (minimap or world map) representing certain buildings and locations.
World map icon key
The World map key is on the lower left side and when clicked, displays a grey list of icons. In this list are icons for specific locations within the game. Clicking on any of the entries in the key list will show yellow circles flashing in the world map, indicating the location for the particular icon. The key list can be sorted in 3 different ways:
- Alphabetical
- Categorised
- Traditional
Note that icons within underground areas will NOT appear on the World map.

Minimap icon table
This concise icon table is useful when a player wishes to identify an icon on the minimap. It is sorted alphabetically from left to right, top to bottom.
Notes
- The General store icon (
) was changed to () on 8 May 2007, perhaps to clarify that they only sell empty pots, not pots of flour. - The All Fired Up Beacon () is currently the only icon not encircled.
- Recently, there has been a new icon in Gunnarsgrunn (Barbarian Village) and the entrance to Relekka. This icon represents seasonal content.
- The Holiday Event Icon does not show up on the World Map Icon Key
