Finally, a Scroll of Town Portal!

Comment by Drektard

Does anyone know if these are usable in combat? I would love to be able to bubble hearth every 15 minutes.

Comment by tilgare

I wonder if there is a casting time on this like other ports or your hearthstone... I would assume yes. I would also assume that you can recall in combat like you can hearth in combat or throw up a portal in combat.

Seems like as is, these will make trips to the AH and back to Shatt/Dalaran quite easy where as currently I have to plan all my trips carefully... it's NOT easy to get back to Outlands once you are stuck back on Azeroth... With Northrend, it'll be easier to get back with a zep/ship and FP back to town, but still requires plenty of travel time.

These also sound good for death knights because they will have occasions when they need to pop over to EPL to do some runecrafting and chances are you will not want to fly to the dark portal to get back to Outlands as you level. I'm guessing that we will see lots of inscribing dks so this is QUITE relevant! ^-^

My god, a shaman with this would never have to think about hearth cooldowns again!
Is this a single use item or reusable? I ask because it's stackable up to 20, which you don't often see in reusable items

Shamans have Astral Recall as it is. Why would they ever worry about hearthstone cooldown anyways?

Comment by 26597

Perhaps as more higher level inscription patterns are reveled we will see a Scroll of Portal...?

Comment by 169126

God this is gonna allow my Engineer Tauren Shammy to have hearths galore!

Hearthstone + Astrall Recall + Scroll of Recall + my 2 teleportation trinkets (probobly soon to be 3 in WotLK)

Comment by Icecoldcoke

A couple of questions answered from testing I have done.

This cannot be used in combat (No Bubble - Recall).

~~This shares a cooldown with Astral Recall.~~ Changed a couple of builds ago.

Thanks, have a nice day. :)

Comment by Nulgar

Even with the maxlevel requirement, this makes Inscription a very nice alt profession, at least the ones you level just for levelling, without plans of having another profession before reaching a high level.

Just skill to 35 and farm/buy some lowlevel herbs, create some stacks of this, then forget about your profession until you reach level 50 :P

Comment by SJPadbury

In 8962, it changed to "Results are unpredictable beyond level 40." Does anyone know what the unpredictability might entail? Not transporting, random effect like the gnomish teleporter, Dumping your dwarf character in the middle of Orgrimmar? :)

Comment by Serai

i do hope they don't remove the unpredictable effect

there should be plenty of fun things to do with those, especially on a rp realm

Comment by 51953

Reminds me of the initial ideas for the Engi transporters, they scaled them back to more goofy effects than wrong destinations, although the Area 52 one will rarely place you on top of one of the floating rocks hundreds of feet in the air.

Very nice to see some fun still being had to counter all this serious business going on regarding raid specs and such.

Comment by 24192

has anyone noticed that this teleports you to a random place but says you're in another?
here's an example...
my 70 druid used this item and ended up in tanaris (Gadgetzan arena)
however as i ran towards where i was headed, un'goro i noticed that Firegut ogres (The ones from Burning steppes, were all around me.

Now i'm in ungoro and there are Blackrock Warlocks and Blackrock Slayers around me...

Is this what the LOST debuff does?

Comment by 212003

bugged me massively, first i was cool with it, i was in swamp of sorrows falling, wen i went to port back to org, there was no floor and i fell, wen i released spirit i fell again, in EPL, and again in hinterlands,and again, i closed WoW, opened again, was at durotar GY and didnt fall, so dont use and port to org lol

Comment by 17534

I love this item. I just used it, teleported me to UC. At first I was fine with it, but when I wanted to take the zeppelin to STV to gather herbs, no zeppelin arrived. Apparently I was in some sort of other dimension where no people or whatever were. No elevators either, so I fell and died in the elevator shaft. Released, ended up standing on the water as a ghost on Lordemare Lake in Silverpine Forest, with my corpse being in Stonetalon Mountains.

I'm loving this.

Comment by 26

When I used this I got teleported to thunder bluff while my hearthstone was set in shattrath city. The odd thing is that there was no-one in thunder bluff. Not even a single NPC and it said I was in the twisting nether. I logged out and logged back in only to find myself falling down and dying in the twisting nether south of hellfire peninsula.

Comment by 227387

on my lvl 42 warrior this thing teleported me from gadgetstan to xroads:P

Comment by 232172

lol it was sooooo funny it teleported me like 100 feet above swamp of sorrows, luckily i had blink unlike the tauren i landed on! lol

Comment by 97930

I've been testing this a lot, and I'm a 70 tauren druid.

So far I've gotten:

Stonard: 6 times (outside of the inn)

Tarren mill: 5 times (in the middle of the field in it)

Thunder Bluff: 6 times (at the edge of it)

Swamp of Sorrows: (teleported at the very top of it and fell and lost fall damage): 2 time

Undercity: 2 times. (at the entrance)

Gadgetzan: 3 times (in the arena)

The Crossroads: 2 times (on top of a hill)

Booty Bay: 2 time (on the edge of it, in an area where you can see cannons under you and ships going by, seems like it would be impossible to get to this spot without the scroll of recall)

That's all I've gotten so far, testing whenever i can.

Comment by 72856

EDIT:

Made around 20 different Scroll of Recalls

LOST debuffs:
- Lion's Pride Inn basement (Elwynn Forest)
- Stranglethorn Vale coast
- Steelgrill Depot
- Hinterlands, Aerie Peak (ramp)
- Auberdine, Darkshore (On hill)
- Tanaris Desert - Gadgetzan

I believe that this teleports anywhere level 40-45 zones and lowbie zones.

This item still rocks.

Comment by Azaram

I just made them, at level 45, and used it just before the rolling restart. Put me on the ground in Stonard outside the inn. So you don't get any breaks for being ALMOST the right level, either. :p

Comment by Tiforix

As an Alliance 70 I've ended up in:
Goldshire (basement of Lion's Pride Inn)
Kharanos (Steelgrill's Depot)
Gadgetzan (inside the cage)
Booty Bay (an otherwise inaccessible rampart at the south end).

Comment by Furydeath

Doesn't seem to have many sets so it's only fun the first few times then it's not really cool when it ports you to BB for the 10th time.

Comment by ForcedPerfect

I have a question: Will this transport you to an opposing faction's city?

For example, if you're an Orc, can you be transported into Stormwind if over level 40?

I'm hoping it does as that would be quite funny.

Comment by Toldry

The yellow text should be:

"Deed to a legal private server."

Comment by 193932

This should be 30 or under, for people who don't have mounts.

Comment by FourDeuce

Has anybody else noticed that these seem to change to wherever you have your hearthstone set? I've made some, but hadn't used any. I had my hearthstone set to Stormwind, but changed it to Lakeshire, and noticed that the scrolls now say they will return me to Lakeshire.

Comment by 246921

I can confirm the following for alliance:

- Steelgrill Depot
- Hinterlands, Aerie Peak (ramp)
- Auberdine, Darkshore (On hill)

I have also ended up in one of the goblin cities...Gadgetgan I think?

Comment by BarnabyBBarclay

It should be noted: these items will simply return you to where you have your hearthstone set (unless you're over lvl. 40 and get the "Lost" effect, of course). So if you make a bunch of them then change your hearth, the scrolls all change to your new hearth location as well.
Bottom line: you can't make various scrolls for different cities and use them like a mage's portals. The only real benefit is that they have a seperate cooldown from your hearthstone.

If you're looking for an item that will teleport you to a specific place, these all have various useful effects and don't share cooldown or location with your hearthstone:
Signet Rings of the Kirin Tor
Wormhole Generator, Dimensional RippersArea 52/Everlook (Engineers only)
Direbrew's Remote

Comment by Novawolf

I used this at 42 and my internet crashed D:

And I was above Swamp of Sorrows.

You really shouldn't use this above 40...

Comment by 133035

I swear to god on my Warrior it ported me to https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/maps=-4:531481

Comment by 155695

So... Home is where the Hearth is?

I know, I know, terrible joke.

Comment by 267194

yeah it happened to me aswell, but all that happened was that i fell through the world, is that the twisted netheR?

Comment by Fearnot

These can actually be very helpful even above 40. I was on my 58 DK going around training herbalism and inscription. I needed to go to hillsbrad around 130, so i use one hoping it'd get me closer(i was in the barrens) it put me in tarren mill. Next, i needed to go to Booty Bay around 170, another possible location to be teleported to. The next scroll got me there. I dont know if its luck or what, but if your hearth is nowhere near where u need to go and it is a possible location that this sends you to, it doesnt hurt to try. You may just get lucky like i did

Comment by 317893

This is weird as hell. I just recently hit 40 on my druid and i had a lot of these left over so i was usin them to get rid of them. When i use this iI always end up where i need to go lol. Not my hearth location but where i had quests and everything. Don't know if anyone else is experiencing this but you know w/e.

Comment by 164931

I would like to take an opportunity to note that this may be a homage to the great great grandfather of MMO's known as MUDs. May I quote....
> rec recall

Take from the MUD help files:

RECITE SCROLL SCROLLS
Is used to "read" a magical scroll. Target can be an object, character or nothing (which may be yourself).

Examples:

* > recite identify sword
* > recite recall

See also: CAST, QUAFF, USE.

Yay CircleMUD!

Comment by 81413

Patch 4.3 - The reusable item can be used in conjunction with to allow scribes to create a portal to Thunderbluff.

I'm still hoping for all three of the above.

Comment by 411777

In a word...WORTHLESS, especially since they reduced the stone cooldown to 30 minutes.

Comment by 18495

Easily one of my favorite things about being a scribe. I've been leveling a shammy alt as of late & trying to level inscription along with the leveling process. But this has actually come in handy after level 40. I had a ton of ZF quests I had to turn in thanks to people from the RDF but had yet to run to Tanaris. I used a scroll & I was lucky enough to be ported to Gadgetzan. And, just a few minutes ago, I got a quest to go to Southshore but was on the other continent. Used the scroll because I was about to log anyway & ended up in Aerie Peak. :D

Comment by TmbrWolf

Very nice homage to Ultima Online with this one and it was even funnier when I saw that you needed Moonglow Ink.. Recall scrolls were your best friend and you couldn't get enough of them...didn't matter what class you were playing, you had to get your magic skills up to the point that you could use those scrolls and not have it fizzle.

Recsu Recdu! *fizzle* Recsu Recdu! *fizzle* Recsu Recdu! *poof*

Comment by 1491

Apparently this doesn't always fail above level 40. It disappointed me today by teleporting me about ten feet to the orgrimmar inn. No Lost! debuff or anything.

edit: scratch that, after this happened the second time in a row I noticed it had used up one of my scroll of recall IIs. I think the macro I had just made was casting II even though it was showing I's tooltip

Comment by 1Beachcomber

I found this lower level version somewhat useful on my 77 Tauren druid as I was working on festival bonfires and Explorer title.

I would basically get a free trip to other continents.

However, it should be noted that it is not really random. There seem to be only a few designated places that you can go:

Crossroads
Gadgetzan
Thunder Bluff
Misty Reed Strand/Swamp of Sorrows
Tarren Mill
Others?

In Misty Reed I always materialized in the air and ended up dead on the ground. If you have a Parachute Cloak (Engineering) you can certainly use that to prevent yourself from dying.

Comment by Allakhazam

The usefulness of this items is that there is no cool down of an hour. Some times I am out and about and my bags are full and I want to get back to the inn quickly. If you have already used your stone, you need to wait. With this scroll, there is no cool down, just like portal. Just don't use it if you are above 40.

Comment by Allakhazam

everytime I changed my binding to a new Inn, the scrolls I carried changed too - so not sure what they are good for.(other than for fun as above)

Comment by Allakhazam

If you are level 70 don't bother with these. So far I've used them twice out of boredom, the 1st sent me about 100 feet above the beach in Swamp of Sorrows. The second time I was sent to Thunderbluff (my home is Shatt).

Comment by Allakhazam

Yes there is a cooldown(30 min same as stone), but it is not shared with the Stone.

Comment by esuvii

There is a very small chance that the malfunction from Scroll of Recall above level 40 can kill you. I lost a permadeath character to being spawned in the air above Swamp of Sorrows and dying of fall damage, after reading on WoWWiki that it was safe!
