What are all the waypoints?

Question

Is there a list of waypoints in Diablo 3? I seem to be going long periods without finding one, and end up wondering whether there are any in the zones I'm passing through or if I'm just missing them, so I was looking for a list to check against.

Answer 1

The image linked to here is probably datamined from the beta, so looks to be quite out of date or just wrong, e.g. it mentions a non-existent Tower of the Damned Level 3 (there is no third level to the Tower of the Damned), is missing the Drowned Temple and Festering Woods waypoints from Act I and the Great Span waypoint in Act IV amongst others, and lists non-existant waypoints like Howling Plateau, etc (I searched for these across multiple zone reloads).

This site appears to have a much more accurate list. I've since cross-referenced waypoints as best I can, and have verified the below to the extant possible - confirming all my waypoints appear in my list, multiple runs through various zones where no waypoint is listed (focusing on those where the image indicates there could be one), etc.

Answer 2

Here is a list. Bear in mind that not all waypoints are accessible all the time. Also massive spoilers.

While waypoints must be reached through dungeon exploration to activate and add to the display list, not all waypoints are always available. Even for a player who has already completed an area.

Also...

This is an intentional feature, as it prevents players from exploiting the waypoint and quest system to quickly "run" bosses and obtain better drops and the large experience and gold rewards from completing quests.
