You can teleport without subscription

I only recently discovered that I could teleport without a subscription. I had learned the first skill level of teleportation because I thought I would need it to use the free teleportation tokens I received when I joined Glitch. But I was not teleporting. I was 'saving' my teleportation tokens in case I desperately needed to get somewhere fast. I think it would be good if it was made clearer that you can teleport without the tokens you get with a subscription etc. Maybe by adding a line or two to the description of the teleportation skills about how you can go on to use tokens if you choose but that you can teleport without them. Maybe after the line in Teleportation 1 Warning: teleporting is pretty draining, energy wise.

  • I think it's fairly clear, after all there's even a quest that explains it to you. What would help is a description somewhere of exactly how to use the Teleportation tokens, because that isn't really explained until you "discover" it in the game.

  • @ thepheebs; Agreed.

    I was confused at first about teleportation vs map teleportation vs token teleportation.

    Eventually it all made sense. I think.

    "I had learned the first skill level of teleportation because I thought I would need it to use the free teleportation tokens I received when I joined Glitch."

    Actually you are correct. Even with tokens you do need to know TP I. But as you say, tokens are not needed to teleport, and perhaps the language could be clarified a bit to avoid further confusion as more people enter the game.

  • Even with the teleportation quest, it is not clear that you will not be using up your tokens to complete it - and this is what I thought would happen. I think this is the wording of the quest, I found it on glitch-strategy as I can't see my quests while the game is closed and so perhaps the wording has changed but it seems very similar to what I remember.

    Get the Magic Rock to help you create a landing point anywhere in Groddle Forest, and then jump to it from any point in Ilmenskie Caverns. It's practically pain-free and almost foolproof

    I didn't even attempt it in case it used up my precious tokens. :) And I think I then forgot about it because I am quiet sure I haven't completed it yet!

  • If I remember correctly the Teleportation menu states the energy costs of teleportation on the bottom. Teleportation via the menu from the Magic Rock always costs energy.Map teleports come available with Teleportation IV (?) and you're asked whether you want to use energy or tokens. When you have tokens map teleport is possible with only Teleportation I.
