Dragon's Dogma 2 features a vast open-world that contains a huge variety of content for players to explore. From the game's opening moments, the open expanse of the world is on full display. Like many open-world games that have come before it, the question of how to quickly traverse that world becomes a question that many players will seek the answer to.
Where Dragon's Dogma 2 separates itself from its contemporaries, is that many of the game's core mechanics are not readily apparent to those just beginning. Rest assured, however, that Dragon's Dogma 2 does feature a fast-travel system. This guide will explain how that system works, and where players will find the means to use it within the game world.

Dragon's Dogma 2's character creator is available for free. Here's how to use it, and port characters into the full game once it comes out.
How to Fast-Travel in Dragon's Dogma 2
This guide is still a work in progress, and will feature all known methods of fast-travel currently known. As more methods become known, they will be added accordingly.
There are two key methods of fast-travel in Dragon's Dogma 2. The methods are as follows:
- Oxcart Travel
- Ferrystones & Portcrystals
How to Use Oxcart Travel in Dragon's Dogma 2
Ox-carts are introduced very early in Dragon's Dogma 2, and will likely serve as the most common form of fast-travel during the early portions of the game. Oxcarts follow a few key rules:
- They only travel along a single set path. The player cannot change or alter an ox-cart's destination. For example, there are ox-carts that run from Melve to Vernworth, and the opposite.
- Oxcarts cost a single fee for every use. This fee varies depending on the route, but is often a low amount.
- Oxcarts are only available during the day. Trips can often last into the night, but you can only begin a trip during the day.
How to Use Ferrystones and Portcrystals in Dragon's Dogma 2
Ferrystone and 
Portcrystal are a system that works more in line with traditional fast-travel systems, but requires players to be much more mindful about when they use it. Each of these two items plays an important role in the process, and works in the following ways:
Ferrystones:
- Ferrystones are consumable items that are found in treasure chests throughout the game world. Various merchants will have these items in their inventories, but they are fairly expensive. For example, Morris in Checkpoint Rest Town sells them for 10000 gold pieces.
- Ferrystones are single-use magical stones that expend their energy in order to transport the player to their destination.
- When a Ferrystone is used, a list of destinations will open up, allowing players to choose their desired location.
Portcrystals:
- Portcrystals are the destination points for fast-traveling. There are two types of Portcrystals that players will interact with in Dragon's Dogma 2.
- The first type is permanent, and will be found in the major towns and settlements of DD2. Once players have interacted with a Portcrystal once, it will always be available on the list of destinations.
- The second type of Portcrystal can be placed by the player at any location in the game-world. The tutorial section explains that players can place up to ten of these Portcrystals, and they can also be picked up and moved to a different location whenever the player chooses. When this type of crystal becomes available is currently unknown. This information will be included here when it is discovered.
