Well, I came from Achaea, and, now that I've about run out of portals, I have discovered that there is no way of getting around without normal -shudder- walking. In Achaea, there is a WALK TO system, where you WALK TO if you are within 50 rooms away. It is slow, and requires at least a second of balance...So, what do you guys think?

S'why we use Rifts and and enchanted Paintings in villages. Most areas are close enough to just do that, no one area really requires a huge amount of travel to get to.

Deepnight . Meaning, I don't need to take the hightway to magnagora or to Avechna.

There's a skill around Adept Planar called Teleport that lets you teleport to anyone on the same continent with a delay. It costs 3 power, or 0 power if you're teleporting to your nexus.

Also, if you're a guardian/city warrior you have via (which isn't great but is useable).

Heh, if possible, we do -less- actual walking here in Lusternia. With soooo many transportation skills I haven't walked across the Basin since my novice days. Not much need for WALK TO here. The Basin is much smaller than Sapience in Achaea anyways.

Well, what skills would a Tae'Dae have to get around? Do you need a skill for the enchanted paintings?

I don't have any power, and I have no idea how to get power....But, from what I have seen thus far, power is not to be used frequently...

And I'm a squire, I cannot acces the nexus to get power...

Most transport skills are in guild skills but Teleport is the major one. Power is gotten from linking, in its easiest gaining, to a City or Commune Nexus. Power is one of the most covoted resources in the Basin as a lot of the skills need it. And guards require it.

Lusternia has less walking around than any other IRE game.
We have Teleport, which lets you move kinda sorta instantly to someone, or to your Nexus. We have Flow which takes you to anyone in a forest location on the same area. We have the Aetherways. We have Via. We have rifts and paintings. It's virtually impossible toe get lost on the Prime plane if you spend the 90 lessons needed to get Teleport, and I highly recommend you do.

I haven't used Teleport for anything besides going home in a long time. The power cost kinda killed everyone's teleporting.

It really isn't needed though. We're much smaller than Achaea, so it's not as much of a hassle. Try going to Jester w/o Universe tarot when you've been used to Track all your life. THAT sucks.

I remember when Flow flowed you *anywhere*, even to Tainted forest, and Teleport cost no Power. Envy me, newbies.

Flow got me away from Amaru every time he tried to jump me, even asleep in Rockholm. I miss the old flow. New flow sucks.

Well -I- remember when Flow flowed you FROM anywhere, even from the middle of Magnagora, and when you could summon people into the middle of the guards at the Megalith!

I feel old.
Incidently, if you're that uppity about it, perhaps "weave gate" could work on the same plane, and you could bring in a way to solidfy it even further, frame work and the like.

You could make a kind of hub of rifts in ethereal which spaned the whole of the basin if you were so inclinded.

Except that puts us at the mercy of you Serenwilders, and assuming you don't decide to destroy it as "punitive" action. No thanks, you've already deluded yourself into far too much for my liking.

Catacomes? Come on be creative.

I cannot link to the Nexus. My acces to the pool of stars was blocked. I'm a squire, so I assume you have ot be...guild rank 2-3 to gain access?

Actually no. After you leave novicehood you can link just ask on ct or gt for someone to unblock you. And chelp power in game. If you see me ask me to unblock you.

The Achaean WALK TO command is just laziness. I never used it when I had an Achaean char because he was permanently infamous and I had to run everywhere as fast as my little fingers could carry me. You're better off consulting HELP MAPS, and learning the way.. you'll regret it later on when people want to jump you. And people always want to jump you.

Walk to was just for novices when they got lost to point them in the right direction.
