Caravan & Followers

Caravan is a feature that will be added in the next big update City of Gold. See Development roadmap and have a look at the planned updates.

The Caravan
In the current game version, the first Caravan cart can be obtained in Osbrook after you complete three contracts, which is also part of the main quest: Gathering the Caravan. After you obtain the first Caravan cart, Verren acts as the driver and allows quick transportation between Osbrook and Mannshire.

City of Gold
There were several features hinted as possible new additions for the updated Caravan system:
 * Ability to quickly traverse the new World Map that will be added with the City of Gold update
 * Ability to use Caravan as a "mobile home", offering a saving point in the wilderness
 * Ability to hire certain trainers and take them with you as followers
 * Ability to store items in the Caravan
 * Ability to (somehow) upgrade your Caravan

Trivia

 * Formerly the Caravan was called Caravan of Companions.
 * It is assumed that the player leads the Caravan in Stoneshard instead of Verren.
