How often do you use Wayshrine Recall?

Sadishist · July 2015

Just curious, how often do you find it worth it to spend the gold for recall? Will it be a drain on money in the long run?

starkerealm · July 2015

Never. I'll check my guild rosters and port to someone in another zone, rather than paying to beam up.

Zazaaji · July 2015

About as often as I see an actual poll added to threads that really should have had one added in the first place *cough*.
Harmless joking aside, very rarely. I usually just save my gold.

I got an add on for this,paying to port is ***

At VR14, it costs me 146 gold to wayshrine travel, and about 900 gold if it's on cooldown. Considering I have about 3 million gold, that 146 gold is a pittance. However, I am super cheap and will always teleport to a guildie if my wayshrine cost is on cooldown.

Thought about adding a poll but don't think it's feasible because there are too many different answers.

Xendyn · July 2015

I just use the Guild Taxi when I can.

DirtySmeegs33 · July 2015

Never. Hoof it and collect mats.

DirtySmeegs33 · July 2015

Make the poll simple... 0-10%. 25% 50% 75% 90-100%. Done

Exactly what I thought. Sadly, you can't retroactively add a poll to threads on these forums.

My main abhors magic in all its forms. He avoids wayshrines as much as possible.

My Khajiit LOVES the damn things. He wishes ZOS would implement Wayshards so he could teleport wherever and whenever he wanted to.

telportation via wayshrines is science not magic .. would not go anywhere near those damn mage portals !!

traigusb14_ESO2 · July 2015

Depends on what I m doing. I'll use it if I'm finishing up a zone and need 1-3 last skyshards.

I'll also pay for a port back if I'm crafting something at a really out of the way set locations and nobody in guild is near where I want to go (too lazy to port to near someone then free port to wherever for a 2nd free teleport), easier to pay the pocket change for just 1 port than take 2 free ones.

Mighty_oakk · July 2015

I use them constatly if they are at the minimum 146. There are times when i was so close I probly could of walked faster after loading etc.

R3DTHR3AT · July 2015

Often

ontheleftcoast · July 2015

Maybe once a day, tops. Usually it's "Oh, ***! Time for bed, gotta get back to town and sell everything". Other than that it just isn't worth it.

Khajit needs gold, Khajit has kittens to feed. Me wonders if you could spare 50k for my well being. All would be appreciated of course.

Enodoc · July 2015

I never pay to travel to a Wayshrine, I just walk to the nearest one and travel for free.

It's definitely magic. Wayshrines are conduits to Aetherius, the realm of Magicka, and only someone whose soul has been (magically) removed, thus unmooring them from the Mundus, and then reattuned via an Aetherial fragment, is able to use them.

Even if you're in the middle of a long dungeon that you already collected the skyshard and cleared?

Yep. Public dungeon or Delve, I'll always go out the entrance (or secret exit if it has one).

Oh no. You just had me equate Star Trek with ESO. Star Trek being Sci-Fi that visits all sorts of worlds I guess it's POSSIBLE Nirn is one of those worlds.

If that were the case Sheogorath is definitely a Q....

AlnilamE · July 2015

Most of the time it's when I got to a way shrine, decided to open the map to check where I'm going next and then forget I'm not on the wayshrine interface and pay to travel before I realize it.

But sometimes during guild events when we need someone people can port to at the next location.

Other than that, I usually go to a wayshrine, as it allows me to gather mats along the way.

Azurulia · July 2015

I use it quite often because I tend to be rather lazy. If I am in a hurry, I will almost always use it, sometimes even if there is a shrine less then 20 seconds away.

If I am not in a hurry and there is one within reasonable distance, I'll just walk to the shrine and use them for free. Unless I am feeling lazy of course.

Are you rich or fair in having gold?

Sithisvoid · July 2015

Only when I'm hunting skyshards or the developers decided to build a mountain between me and the objective, which is pretty damn often. Seriously why is everything up a mountain where do these guys live?

Bleakraven · July 2015

Never.

bertenburnyb16_ESO · July 2015

Go to nearest wayshire, interact, travel free... so never

mcurley · July 2015

I use it when I run out of inventory space while playing. I guess I could just port to a guild member now that I'm in a couple guilds though. The cost is pretty insignificant anyway.

Reeko · July 2015

146g is not that much. Worth the price of being lazy

Nestor · July 2015

I was going to make a thread like this, not I don't have to.

I have lately gotten in the habit of porting out of a dungeon after I finish it (kill the boss and collect the shard). I just don't want to fight my way past the respawned mobs again. I know I am giving up some modicum of Exp doing this, but, hey, time is of the essence.

I don't think of opening up the guild list and porting to someone, as it usually takes some time to find someone in the correct alliance and is near where I want to be. Although, once I get to a Wayshrine, I can go anywhere, I just prefer to open the map, and port out.

UrQuan · July 2015

I never pay gold for the wayshrine recall. I'll always either walk to the nearest wayshrine (which costs me time instead of gold, but I usually end up harvesting some mats along the way, so that offsets the cost in time), or port to a guildie.
