So what if there's a cast time? You can use TP like old-school Doom save spots. New room? Pop a portal before entering. Want to pick up every single white you see? Pop a portal as needed. I'd like one.


Well, the thing is, you can do all that with portal scrolls. It's not like you'll ever run out.
I had a 15% quality one in closed beta. I miss it :(

What did the +quality do?
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

To be fair, TP scrolls are used to make orbs and until you get your gear in a comfortable place for merciless, you'd get much more use out of turning them into orbs and using the gem than not.



But I also cast it every now and again for travel so it's always close as a quick escape.

makes it cast faster
I jsut got that portal gem as a drop from farming Brutus, it was not removed.
Beta member since: 0.9.8f (April 23rd 2012)
I spent my first week after the OB hoarding orbs, eventually i bought one for 4 GCP, since it's never my luck that they just drop normally.. I've been using it happily ever after since.

The reason i love portal so much, is that i actually use portals now they're free... When they're scrolls, i scarcely use them because they're a currency item...

My portal usage went up like 300% since i got the gem
Shoep - Default league Ranger
Peohs - Any other class or character i play.
Jhuvik - My Marauder
Merialeth - My witch

I picked up a portal gem that now I never have to spend another scroll! I'm so fricking hyped! Anyone else pick up a portal Gem yet ?



You will use scrolls all the time. That ha sa cast time, scrolls do not. If you need to get out quick keep scrolls with you. It will sell for a ton to people who think it is actuaslly really good.


Bad advice. If you're using scrolls for quick escape you're gonna die from loading and come onto forums and complain. We get at least 3 threads a day about dying while zoning. Don't do it. period. Unless you're softcore, then whatevs.
One dropped yesterday and I put it on my scroll-wheel click. Definitely nice to have at my ready disposal. Not like opening your inventory and right-clicking is long and arduous, but it's still some extra steps...
