Undermountain shortcuts.

[StigTC]

Are the new magic doors already working and I'm just oblivious as to how to use them?
Or are they disabled just like the old ones?
Because as it is now, it's one mighty long jog to get to the lower levels.

Edit: Bumped into another bug, for some reason Delundir, the guy that gives you the hand of bane mission, was mad at me. He didn't want to talk or anything, he just wanted to fight me. I hadn't hurt him or anything, I had only just come down from level 11 and fought off the skeletons and the drow that appear when you move towards him.

Portals are being installed in skullport now! Should be done in a few hours! They will be where the 3 drow men say "leave us, human". (near the shops)

I'll be taking out the prisons too, since they are pointless. (Making the level a tad bit smaller, so loading in that level and running around is smoother. currently, Skullport can be a slideshow for lower end PC's). [img]smile.gif[/img]

REMEMBER, you will have to find an artifact to activate the portals. (They won't be hard to find. Whatever portal goes to whichever level, that is where you will probably find the stone item to activate the teleporter.

You can use this item over and over. ALSO, you cannot drop it, so don't pick up more than one. You can't trade them either. No free rides! [img]smile.gif[/img]

That will force new players to see all of Undermountain, as it was meant.

The 'old' secret door back from skullport to level 2 does not seem to work no more, is that a change or just me?

[Ziroc]

What secret door to level 2? You mean the sewers to level 3 Skullport? That exit will work again when I release the new update tonight.

FANTASTIC news, Z! I'm all for the idea of finding the tokens on the level you'll want to 'port to later and for not trading them. Very cool! And nice to have the portals in Skullport, very convenient! I'll have to actually look before I pick loot up now, though... LOL, don't want twenty tokens for one level! HAHA!

[Neo the Warrior Cat]

I'd consider making a shop that you can sell the tokens to, but make it so that shop destroys them when you sell it (they don't get added to the shop's inventory)


That should ward against people getting a lot of copies of the same key and having them stuff up their inventory.

Sorry I mean the one to leave skullport and go back to the sewers! next to the gravestone and the door where you enter skullport from the sewers.

To make sure I'm not more confused than usual: these handy little "artifacts" which allow you to access the teleporters---does one size fit all? I.e if you have one, will it activate all teleporters from there out or are they level specific?

[Garnet FalconDance]

Nvm, I think I found the answer.

[T-D-C]

The are level specific. So you will need a level 3 stone to access level 3 for example.
