Editing Travelling

'''Travelling''' in Asheron's Call is done by using your feet or through the use of portals. No creature large enough has ever been tamed for use as a mount.

==By foot==
===Coordinates===
Used to show your location within Dereth. The X-axis corresponds to East-West coordinates and the Y-axis to North-South. For example, if a character was standing beside the portal to the [[Abandoned Mine]], their coordinates would be 34.9N, 54.4E.

You can find your current coordinates at the bottom of the [[Map Panel]] or either side of the radar when the "Show Coordinates by the Radar" [[Options Panel|option]] is enabled.

===The radar===
''Main article: [[Radar]]''

The radar is used to locate [[Creatures]], [[NPCs]], [[Player Character]]s, [[Portals]] and [[Lifestone]]s in the vicinity. 
It also includes compass points used for direction (N, E, S and West). The direction your character is facing is shown by a gray v-shaped area on the radar.

===The run skill===
''Main article: [[Run (Skill)]]''

Every character begins with the run and [[Jump (Skill)|jump]] skills. Although initially they are only as high as your attributes (Quickness for run and Strength and Coordination for jump), they can be raised to a level where you can quickly run long distances and leap over entire buildings.

==By portal magic==
In addition to portals that lead to [[Dungeons]] and [[Quests]], there are also many other ways to use portals to get around [[Dereth]].

===Portal gems and summoned portals===
''Main article: [[Portal Gems]]''

Portal gems are gems that when used summon a portal to a location (usually the name of the gem itself). This can then be used by anyone in the area providing they meet the level requirements on the portal. 

The [[Item Enchantment (Skill)|Item Enchantment]] skill can also be used to summon portals using spells from the 3rd level and above. The base skill level of Item Magic to cast these spells is 150 base without buffs or 150 with buffs.

Summoned portals are known as gateways. Gateways summoned by portal gems cannot usually be tied to or summoned.

===The Portal Network===
''Main article: [[Portal Network]]''

The Portal Network refers to the multitude of portals in towns and dungeons linking together various locations in Dereth. This includes the [[Town Network]] - a hub linking most of the towns of Dereth together.

===Recall commands===
''Main article: [[Recall Commands]]''

Recall commands allow you to be transported to a location by typing a command into the chat box. Every recall command has a short animation that will be completed by your character before you're portaled away.

Most recall commands are related to gameplay elements such as [[Allegiances]] (mansion and town recall) and [[Player Versus Player]] (arena recalls), however, every character has the option to recall to their attuned [[Lifestone]] and also to the [[Marketplace]].

===Recall spells===
''Main article: [[Recall Spells]]''

The [[Item Enchantment (Skill)|Item Enchantment]] skill can be used to utilise portal magic. The third level of Item Magic has many spells such as [[Portal Recall]] (used to recall to the last portal entered), [[Primary Portal Tie]] and [[Secondary Portal Tie]] (used to tie to non-restricted portals) and the spells [[Primary Portal Recall]] and [[Secondary Portal Recall]] to recall to the portals that have been tied to. This includes the summon portal spells mentioned briefly above.

Like most spells, recall spells are mainly learned through the use of scrolls with a few exceptions taught by [[NPCs]] or objects. Recall spells transport you to certain locations even faster than when using commands. After a short casting animation, your character is portaled to the destination.

==Portal colors==
* Most portals are colored appropriate to the difficulty of the content found at the destination.
* The color doesn't always match the level requirements on the portal, however, usually this is because the dungeon or location received an update at some point.
* For example, [[A Small Ruin]] originally had a blue 5+ portal as the content was easy for new players. The creatures found in the ruin were later updated and now the portal is green, but the portal still has a 5+ restriction.
