I always use the Varas portal, both for leveling and SE hunting.

I used to use the Cathedral, until it was pointed out to me that the costs are so much higher. it costs 10X as much to use the Cathedral as Varas does. So now I use Varas :wink:
Same case with me.

Varas, who doesnt?
that's exactly what I wondered until a week ago where I encountered a few people that used the Cathedral. So far the poll has recorded 5 people using it, it'd be nice to see there reasons why

What about the people who use Krul Beach Forest East because it's less stam to get there from Krul Island than it is to Varas Dungeon?
Answer: It's not less stam.

Option 1 : Krul Island Teleport, walk to portal at Cathedral Ways (not recommended)
Instant Teleport back to Krul Island : 25
Enter Mountain Path : 1
(2,2) - (8,16) : (12D, 6R, 2D) : 20
Enter Cathedral Ways : 1
(6,10) - (6,2) : (8U) : 8
Total = 25+1+20+1+8 = 55
Option 2 : Krul Island Teleport, walk to portal at Varas Dungeon (not recommended)
Instant Teleport back to Krul Island : 25
Enter Krul Beach Forest West : 1
(2,2) - (7,9) : (R, 4D, R, 2D, L, 2D, 4R, U) : 16
Enter Varas Dungeon : 1
(17,17) - (9,8 ) : (R, 4U, L, 5U, 2L, D, 6L, U) : 21
Total = 25+1+16+1+21 = 64
Option 3 : Walk to portal at Cathedral Ways
(7,7) - (2,2) : (L, 3U, R, 2U, 5L) : 12
Enter Mountain Path : 1
(25,4) - (8,16) : (14L, 4D, 3L, 8D) : 29
Enter Cathedral Ways : 1
(6,10) - (6,2) : (8U) : 8
Total = 12+1+29+1+8 = 51
Option 4 : Walk to portal at Ethereal Graveyard
(7,7) - (2,6) : (L, U, 4L) : 6
Enter Ethereal City : 1
(2,2) - (3,15) : (5R, 5D, R, 7D, 5L, D) : 24
Enter Ethereal Graveyard : 1
(2,15) - (14,4) : (R, 6U, 9R, 5U, 2R) : 23
Total = 6+1+24+1+23 = 55
Surprisingly (or not), the fastest way is NOT to use the Instant Teleport. Option 3 walking to the Cathedral Ways is shortest. But the portal prices are more expensive in the Cathedral Ways. Walking to Ethereal Graveyard is only 4 stam more. How do the prices differ?
Destination Level Price at
Ways
Portal Price at
Ethereal
Portal
Azlore Plains 100 15,000 3,400
Meyra Coast 206 30,900 7,004
Rhoi 301 45,150 10,234
Xinderoth 400 60,000 13,600
Teotal 511 76,650 17,374
So if you take the difference, and ask yourself, will you sell a 4 stam buff for that price, that'll help you decide which option to take. For destinations not show above, use the formula below :
Price at Ways Portal = (Destination Level) * 150
Price at Etheral Portal = (Destination Level) * 34
