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 (), Commander Yodri himself (), the goblin raids () and the demon mob boss () were the only icons that are not encircled before 10 March 2014.
- Since Easter 2011, the Holiday Event Icon has not been showing in the World Map Icon Key. This has since been fixed.
- Unlisted icons:
- Demon flash mobs ()
- Goblin raids (), Commander Yodri ()
- Inventor's workbench ()
- Mobilising Armies teams ( , , )
- Sophanem Slayer Dungeon Reward Chest ()
- Stagnant water ()
