Riftway Stones

Vanguard Build 1817 Patch Notes 4/20/2007 – TEST SERVER

Riftway Stones have appeared at several altars throughout Telon and will allow faster transit through their magic. Scholars believe that these stones have simply been “out of phase” with the rest of Telon since the time of the cataclysm. In order to use a Riftway Stone to teleport you must acquire a Riftway Shard – now available at general goods vendors.

Has anyone seen a Riftway Stone?

I was able to purchase a shard from the general goods vendor in the bunker outside of Mekalia, but have not found a Riftway Stone yet. I checked the altar on the East side of Khal and the one right outside of Mekalia, but didn't seen anything new/unusual.

Well, I found one. It is at the altar on the Qa Riverbank by the Neamsog Bunkers. If, after you activate it, you select the stone again, it pops up a menu;

• Select the Rone of Kojan
• Select the Rone of Qalia
• Select the Rone of Thestra
• Select One Way Rifts

They each provide a submenu with three teleport options.

Do we add TEST items like this to the wiki?

[Corlin]

Just one bard's opinion, but I would never throw Test patch stuff into the wiki until you know it's about to hit live with next update for certain. You may want to have a coming attractions Wiki page, or start preparing one clearly marked MAY CHANGE BEFORE RELEASE (or some such caveat). Things on Test can always change before release.

By the way, so far Rift stones are interesting. You need get to the destinations offered once and click on those altars before you can take benefit of the fast travel via Rift. Not sure yet how the network maps out, going to do some hoofing about tomorrow to check into it.

i don't play on test, but this sounds realy cool! would love to know the locations og the tele alters if someone could gather that ^_^

Very-very bad thing....

Well, I rode from Tursh through Themnwar's and down to New Targonor on Test this morning, and the only Riftway stone I found was in New Targ - and I believe that's a "destination only" stone, whatever that means.

I'm as leery as others when told we'll have instant travel, but so far this doesn't seem like hop-o-rama. I won't judge it till I've got a better idea what's linked to what.

Edit - for those still looking. I stopped at every altar wondering what I was doing wrong, till I saw the NT one with its glowing blue pillar in the middle. It's similar to the pillar in the middle of bindstones, and unmissable once you know what's supposed to be there.

[EdwinAhe]

You can find one in Qa River Bank, there are links to all stones on all continents (as i understand there are 4 on Qalia, 3 on Thestra and 3 on Kojan + stones in capitals)

Pls Sigil tell us: is it permanent, or just for test, and if it`s permanent, then what else can we expect (like taxi, instances and such stuff) so that we get idea of that thing that is called "vision".

I thought that intercontinental travel was only going to be possible with boats, and teleporters were going to be for transportation inside a continent... but if riftway stones of Tanvu, Aghram and New Targonor are accessible from any network, large boats become even more useless than are now, since at least now you have only one point from where you can get a tp...

Say NO to instant intercontinental travel(unless it requires a very expensive reagent(2-3 gold min))

right now they required a consumable item that is 60cc each. as I'm still too little for that to be cost effective, I've not tried it. As I understand it there are different reagents for different stones. All reagents are available from a general goods vendor

[Rithrin]

Please tell me they threw this on test first, and not on the Live servers? I can't see anything positive coming out of this, only the obsoletion of already scarce boats.
