Teleportation IV and V

To those that have those skills, do you find the ability to write scripts all that useful? Do you usually use them yourself? Or give them to others?

Is it even worth it to upgrade to V after IV?

  • with 5, a teleport costs 10% of your max energy instead of 15%, which starts to add up.

  • I'd be nice if the last two TP skills allowed you to set another TP point each. Just sayin'. The energy reduction, to me, seems not as worth it for the length of learning them as being able to save more points. Summoning's nice, but I seldom use that either.

  • I do use scripts.  I write them to places I find useful to visit that I don't have set points for. I keep them in a tidy pile in my garden, and leaf through them when I'm trying to decide what to do.  ("Perhaps I'll visit the Ancestral Lands first, then go chasing fireflies in Chakra Phool.")  That would only take up only two slots in my inventory, because I leave the rest at home.  Between those, and the 3 map teleports, I don't ever need to use tokens. 

    I also set them for keyed doors so that when I get a key, or when I feel like visiting, I can go there with it directly.  Whenever I get to a place that I have a script for, I make a new one, usually with a note to tell me why I'm interested in that place (e.g. for Somewhat Sumps - Barnacles Ahoy!)

    TPV is what makes this possible due to the energy savings! Although I do a lot of wandering through an area, I tend to helicopter in rather than walk through 2 or 3 hubs with stuff that will distract me.

    At the moment, I don't tend to give them to others, but I'm not sure why - no one asks me, I suppose.  I also haven't really had occasion to summon anyone but there have been times in the past it would have come in handy.

    They are worth something at the auction house, although I also don't sell them, I did purchase them before getting TP IV to make sure that I'd find them useful.

  • I don't use scripts at all, since I haven't learned penpersonship.  I use the map teleports all the time, and I'm learning TPV for the additional map teleport.  I imagine I will find a use for scripts when I finally get around to penpersonship.

  • I find the energy reduction and additional map teleport to be worth it. Plus, summoning, though I haven't used it yet. I figure it'll be handy some day though.

  • @scarlett I love your idea of writing scripts for the keyed doors - I am so going to pinch that! I've got a bunch of keys lying around that I haven't used because I'm not going that way or I can't remember where the door is!

  • Teleportation is one of the most usefjl skills! I have my 3 set points that I use most often and the map teles when I want to go sonewher different. If I find myself map porting somewhere often I make a script or 2 for it and replace them as I use them.
    I have used summon a few times, mostly for trades or if I found a small egg tree and someone has the quest (very handy!)
    I definitely reccomed getting these skills.

  • Summoning, map teleports, lower energy costs and occasional script-writing, yes,  I love my higher TP skills.

    Giants quite like TP scripts.

    Write them when you're ghost-hunting to easily get back to check places again.

  • The  ability to write scripts for keyed streets sounds like a loophole to me...

  • @Shexycorin: the script is to the door, not inside the place itself.

  • I was hoping that teleport V would bring my save points up to 4 points , but I guess from these comments that it does not . ;(
    I use teleport like crazy. I also like writing a script for my house address , and then mail it to my friends , so the next time they want to come visit , it can be cheap or free if they need it to be .:) I will take teleport V when i get a chance , I am enjoying my teleport IV . ;)

  • I've never written a teleportation script. But I have summoned people to me for cash!

  • I just use maps/tokens. Not much need for TP5 in that situation.

  • Ermm. I've been reading that TP IV can't use teleportation scripts.

    Is this the case?
