+Not every waypoint is displayed at all times. Unlike the Diablo II system, where there were just eight waypoints per act, all of which were available once a player had discovered them, there are dozens of waypoints per act in Diablo III. 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.

-==Hidden Until Revealed==
+==Background==
 Waypoints are part of a network of teleportation nodes created by the [[Horadrim]] during the [[Sin War]] to provide instant travel from one place to another. The reason why this was so crucially necessary was that they did not know where the [[demon]]s could appear next and it was essential that they could swiftly combat the forces of Darkness, even when the attack was located in an outlying region with a considerable distance from a [[town]] or settlement harbouring Horadrim mages. The network is built up from runed stones infused with magical power of enough strength to teleport a user to another similar stone. The traveler must physically stand on the stone to use its power.
 The knowledge to create new waypoints has since been lost, but some of these magical rocks can still be accessed and used, if you happen to find one. They remain as a legacy to the Horadrim's once-great power and the value of these devices cannot be denied.
