Teleport/Portal scrolls

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but was thinking about this. Like yes capital city hubs have portals to most zones but if youre out and about such as farming old world content, your hearthstones on cooldown, your legion dalaran hearthstones on cooldown, and or portal to garrison/garrison harbor if you had one is on cooldown, that mages who dabbled in inscription could craft a portal spell onto a scroll.

Because otherwise youre stuck waiting around for one of the hearthstones to finish cooldown or a dungeon queue in LFG to get you out of whatever youre at back to the portal of whatever dungeon you were farming when LFG instance is overwith.

this would give inscription something to make it worth taking again as a profession aside from glyphs that seem quite bland as of late beyond the typical cosmetic appearances of most class spells.

It doesn’t take more than a minute or two to travel to a place that has a portal, does it?

Like if you are in Kun Lai Summit, it’s like 30 seconds to the portals to all the cities.

Or if you are in Wetlands, it’s a minute to get to Undercity or Ironforge.

Honestly, just let Scribes do it themselves. No Mage required. That’s what Inscription should be IMO – offbrand consumable versions of Class Utility.

Bring back Stam / Int / AP buff scrolls @ 70% or whatever power.
Move the Leatherworking Drums to to a Scribe Scroll (again, 25% Haste).
Add 2 Scrolls that give the player the Monk/DH “on hit” debuff application (3%).

Could even throw in a handful of actual utility instead of just Buffs. ‘Scroll of Lifegrip’ etc. Nerf them in some way, and have all ‘Utility Scrolls’ share the same 5 minute CD, like potions, so you can’t just become a juggernaut of Utility and pop every class’s utility one after the other on the same pull.

There quite a few more items that lets you TP to a capital city , might want to look into them , they ARE super useful imo!

I have a difficult time imagining that you’re getting stuff done so fast that all of those things are constantly all on cool down simultaneously… but in addition to the four items you mentioned, there is also:

  1. jaina’s locket, that will teleport you to Dalaran (northrend)
  2. Rings that will teleport you to:
  • Dalaran (northrend)
  • brawler’s guild
  • Boralus
  1. Baradin’s Wardens Tabard, which will teleport you to Tol Barad
  2. Two guild cloaks (with 4 and 2 hour cooldowns respectively)

These are just items I have in my own bags that take me directly or indirectly back to a major city. I am sure there are others that I am not thinking of and/or do not have.

This is also not even counting all of the toys that also allow you to teleport about or the various teleports engineering provides.

Ultimately, If you having THAT much of a problem with being “stuck” maybe log onto another character or do something else for for 20-30 minutes? Plan ahead better so you’re making more efficient use of your teleports?

Already tons of ways of getting around easily.

SL has you hop all over the place. All three callings plus Maw and don’t want to take 3 minute flightpaths.

But Pocket Portals exist for SL.

Cool. Not everyone has that crap.

Or don’t be a downer and give inscription something. None of that gets people to where they want to go. Inscription could.

Or don’t be a downer and give inscription something.

What the hell is wrong with people who hate the idea of giving professions viable options? :rofl:

Add Potion of Deepholm. There’s portals to both capitals there.

i just keep all stormwind capes and boralus ring along with hearthstones, equip use and swap back

love the idea. but thats more RPG sorta stuff, not mindless raiding content, so I wouldnt get my hopes up too high.

thanks for this list wasnt aware there was that many, i have maybe a small handful of items from that list most of them only a few of my toons can use because profession gating ie requires engineer/inscription which either isnt leveled or on a toon at all because theyre doing something else.

I have an even better idea.

Have every location that has a flight point show up with a little flight icon on the map. If you click on that icon, you can be instantly ported there for a fee. The more often you use that on any one toon in a 24 hour period, the higher the cost gets. Say it starts out at 2g, then 10g, then 20g, etc. And perhaps the further away it is also impacts on the cost. So going from, say, Booty Bay to Orgrimmar would cost more than going to just another location in that part of Eastern.

Hearthstones are free, using various portals are free, while catching a bird costs a small sum. Give players the option to go anywhere in the game, if they are prepared to pay the cost.

to add to this, using npc taxi flying based travel should go from point A wherever you are to Point B on wherever your intentional travel point is, and not be a series of stops in the process like it currently is in game where you fly stormwind to say booty bay you have to fly through all the other flypoints along the way.

Why are we able to not fly in that example straight to bootybay or teleport there from stormwind.

Yeah, I commented about that the other day. I remember trying to fly to Timeless Isle from areas in Pandaria where you had to do this weird dog leg flight pattern and Im like…maaate, just let me fly straight there!

They did shorten alot of the flights I think in wod if I remember right they might go for quicker who knows. Idc on my sham I got the extra hearth never stuck. I remember them dropping stuff off trash in some expansions to portal dont ask me which i dont remember.
