Psijic Portals in Craglorn

SirAndy · November 2018

Am i the only one who gets excited when i see the familiar gleam of a Psijic Portal in the distance only to be greeted by a mob of angry NPCs when i get closer.

Yeah, it's a trap, damn those Celestial Rift imposters ...

I love killing things, so I get an adrenaline rush

Well, I actually haven't had many mobs there. I get (I think) more than my fair share of portals in that zone.... most of them are run up, grab, run on. A few I've had to fight a mob or so, but really that's pretty rare for me.

I fell for that trap a bunch of times until I finally wrote off looking for them in Craglorn believing they didnt exist because the Celestrial rifts were already there. Ironically, I stumbled upon my first Psijic Portal in Craglorn today and had to build up the nerve to actually touch it!

Same here, after falling for the Celestial Rift trap some 5 times in a row i was certain Psijic Portals didn't actually exist in Craglorn and it all was just a ploy to lure unsuspecting heroes into the arms of the Serpent ...

Well.... you haven't lived until some high CP git decides to pop one of the pink portals right on top of you as you're trying to gather a node.

Serious. When you load into Crag from the Seeker's Archive wayshrine, there's one of those pink whatever they are portals just north. First time I'd ever been there, I wanted a flax plant maybe? Dunno now. I was concentrating on what I was doing, didn't pay much attention to the player messing around there except to notice that s/he was CP 700 or so....

Yep. I died immediately. I had NO IDEA what happened at that point. I'm sure s/he got a huge laugh. Sucks to be new sometimes....

Those Craglorn portals and world bosses are great soloing practice for vMA.

But not when you are running around with a farming character that is specced for speed and harvesting.

In that case it's more of a "Oh ***!" moment.

I fell for that trap; it's definitely a memorable experience.

Lol...look for the tinge of blue, IIRC and the odd shape, like an actual tear.

Those rifts are actually one of the few overland occurrences that can still hand you your ass if not fully prepared.

BTW, I totally feel your pain. "Yay!...crap..."

Craglorn/Celestial ones are easily recognisable since they are much bigger than psijic portals ^^

You learn to differentiate the colour. The rifts are pinkish, the psijic portals are bluish.

But yeah, it takes some getting used to.
