Unless you like hanging out at the Ethereal Pillars after your hunts just for fun, that second part only applies to Panic.

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

Where are you starting walking from? Because i sure as hell aint walking all the way back to the cathedral or the 'ethereal'? (wtf)

Varas FTW i'm like MAGS i can do it in my sleep, usually the page never gets chance to even fully load.. ;)


Yeah I was wondering that too, didn't know what the second half was referring to.

I also sadly have the path to Varas memorized, especially from all the SE hunting having to use it 3 times in under 10 minutes

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.

Alright... I wanted to prove it to you and myself (and also because I needed to get back there at some point to pick up that new quest introduced).

Krul Island to Varas Portal = 39 stam
Krul Island to Krul Beach Forest East Portal = 49 stam

Seems you were right and the two people I listened to were wrong. Hrm... I'm glad I only went that way 3 times so far.

Well, I had to go back to pick up the "Mercy Mission" quest, anyway, so it's all good. :)

the big blue thing near the middle.

Did you know that there are likely over 2000 rouge black holes in our galaxy alone. Each of them can reach very high speeds, even in space terms, are each capable of destroying anything in their path, and are invisible. Well, goodnight!
