Summoning Stone

Would there be an interest in a stone that would allow you to
A) Recall to Protector's Enclave
B) Recall to the nearest campfire you were at(not applicable in dungeons)

The idea being to have a permanent item rather than the scrolls.
Lets say it was $10 on the Zen market and allowed you to pick between option A or B to make travel that much faster.

Would you buy it for $10?

    This is equivalent to an ultra-fast mount.

    Fast mount prices start at 2500 Zen ($25). So, why would they offer it for less or even the same (since it is considerably faster)?

    Because a mount can take you anywhere on the map, you can use it in PVP and it can look cool. All a "Summoning Stone" does is recall you to one preset spot.

    My answer is yes, I would buy it. The idea is good, but you can already "teleport" to the nearest camp by switching instances so I think you should be able to mark the cap you wanna be teleported to. It should have a cooldown, though and you should not be able to use it in PvP or dungeons of any kind, but that's just my opinion.
    I hate dancing with Lady Luck. She always steps on my toes.

    10$ = 1000 zen = 340000 AD = 85 teleport scrolls and I only use a teleport scroll if I get stuck outside of karru (which I never run anymore) This would only be worth it to people that just cannot bear to take the 2 minutes it takes to run back from their sharandar dailies 85+ times lol

    Recall to Protector's Enclave: there already is that option :s
    and for the money part: ofcourse not, why pay on a broken game.

    A) Queue Castle Never with your group and leave --> Not as comfortable
    B) Use "Change Instance" Icon below your mini map --> Just as easy as using an item

    I would -maybe- spend Zen for an Item like that if it was across all characters and doesn't use an inventory slot. The only use I see is porting to Protector's Enclave after finishing an Adventure Zone (other than Blacklake). Portal scrolls are 4k AD and there are maximum 10 occasions when levelling 1-60 where you would need them. So if it was on one char it should be maximum 40k AD for me to even consider it and if it was account-wide 80k AD would be okay (prices for account-wide epic mounts are usually 2x as high as epic mounts are on the AH, thats why I would suggest multiplying with 2). At the current AD/Zen conversion that would be like 220 Zen.

    Would I buy it for 1000 Zen? NO.
    Would I buy it for 200-250 Zen? Maybe, if I have some spare AD/Zen to spend.

    Fair enough. Just trying to come up with ideas to make the game better.

    Just like bratz I would probably buy it for ~250 zen, maybe 500 for account wide. Especially if it didn't take an inventory slot.

    Rather than scrolls of teleporting for astral diamonds.... I like the model that SWTOR uses. You have a fast travel item for F2Pers that is usable once every couple of hours.... and a permanent fast travel option for $ which allows travel every 30 min. freemium.

    Lets make it more interesting. What if all players that bought any pack got the item for free as a "thank you".
    For those that didn't, they could buy it for $2.50-$5 as some suggested.
    The item would be account wide and sit next to your mount on your hotkeys. No inventory taken.
    Admit it, nobody enjoyed running back to the entrance in Hotenow.

    $10 was a bit steep I admit.

    Yeah that's the biggest thing I hate about karru lol. and if I already had it I suppose I too would enjoy skipping the 2 minute ride back to PE from sharandar =P

    Also if you could make it so you port next to mailbox and AH in PE I would definitely get it.
