Why aren't there more teleport clickies available?

[cm2_supernova]

So there I was...running from Meridia to Refuge on my cleric, and while distance running does do wonders for his calf definition, it begs the question of 'Why aren't there more teleport clickies available?' I know that the RGM drops from Ghola, but what a serious pain it is to grind out, which is evident by how much the mask costs on the open market.

The way I see it, there is absolutly nothing game changing with everyone being able to 'port to different locations. The only possible downside is everyone having an insta-escape from a quest, but if everyone is porting out its prolly a wipe anyway.

I mean anyone who is a caster can easliy load up teleport so having the spell available to two entire classes doesnt hurt...why not make it available to my other 'toons as well?

Unless you just dont want to see my cleric getting fat.

Edit: RGM drops from Ghola Fan, not slavers

The ONLY reason for anyone to run Ghola Fan more than once is if they're trying to get that mask. The XP sucks, the loot sucks, it's long, takes too much time to get to and the monsters are unimaginative. I give it one star for the layout of the place only, otherwise it'd be a total wash.

Having a teleport clicky be available on anything else would further reduce the number of times that quest is run, and the devs have enough trouble getting us to visit already.

Meh...I dont really see why the game developers would care weather or not we ran a given quest...I havent run 'Freshen the Air' in at least 1.5 years now, maybe they could put a new teleport clicky in there

Like I said, it just seems like one of those things that would make the game a ton more fun and with almost ZERO forseeable impact to gameplay, so why not throw a couple of bones in there...hell, they dont even have to be named, just have them drop like solid fog clickies or something!

It also has the game's only true-seeing clicky, which is a pretty big deal if you don't have a static true seeing item.

Ghola Fan take 5-8 mins with a sorc and a monk. Hardly a long run.

UMD solves any problems running for Girds, RGM & Staff of the Seer.

Ghola is an easy loot run - the mask price is where it is because its a useful piece of gear. A lot of people don't bother running Ghola and probably should.

I must add if your on your cleric you have "word of recall"

Which as a cleric is pretty much worthless in-terms of being able to get around quickly. THere have been numerous threads and conversations about it. But since it only takes you to the Temple of the Sovereign Host, it is not that valuable.

Though I do admit it has helped save me and the quest, most notably in VON2 if I got knocked off into the void. But that is about it.

My capped cleric does not even carry it anymore.

That spell is dramatically less useful then teleport unless you are porting out of a quest or need to be at the church in House D for some reason.

But it is Quite handy for the Meridia to Reavers Refuge run. Litereally cuts out 2-3 minutes.

I bind all my characters in the Refuge now for the Death Express, Getting a teleport to meridia for a shroud usually isnt that bad.

ummmmh...there is a difference between a useful piece of gear that can help you complete a quest or improves your character and a useful piece of gear that cuts some tedium out of the game. Easy is a relative term homey, and even if something is easy doesnt mean its fun.

...and just out of curiosity, why should people be running Ghola more often? If its that good of a quest I would think the problem with people running it would kinda fix itself

The fact that it was my cleric was only an example, its no less tedious running around on my paladin, ranger or bard.

[sirgog]

I reckon that a Teleport clicky would have been great to add to the end chest Stealer of Souls (the one that only appears on Hard and Elite difficulties). Then, add another cool item to the Elite-only chest; perhaps a +1 WoP shortsword.

Well, your paladin and bard should be using teleport scrolls, and your ranger, well... sprint boost

[Xalted_Vol]

This would take care of the folks who do not enjoy running all over

Thats a pretty good idea too...personally though, I think maybe a favor reward would be appropriate

...but thats a topic for a whole 'nother day
