The Premium Transport System affords Premium subscription members instantaneous, inter-realm transport. Each of the eight premium halls has a transport room (usually located near the hall's entryway) with a unique colored doorway, eg., a curved mottled green doorway, where transport tickets are sold. There is also a portal in the transport room that leads to the transport hub from which there is direct access to each of the eight premium halls.

Ticket Purchasing

Simply GET/BUY TICKET followed by GET/BUY TICKET within ten seconds to make the purchase.

Initial Purchase:

>get ticket
A young attendant steps forward and says, "You're looking for a transportation ticket, <Player Name>? This'll be number 1 for the month, and will cost you 5000 silver. Also, note that the ticket expires at the end of this calendar month and will only be valid for your own travel needs. Be sure to hold the ticket in one of your hands as you pass through the portal to use it."

GET the ticket again if you want to really purchase it within 10 seconds.

>buy ticket
You fork out 5000 silvers for a ticket.

Second Ticket:

get ticket
A young attendant steps forward and says, "You're looking for a transportation ticket, <Player Name>? This'll be number 2 for the month, and will cost you 10000 silver.

Ticket Rules

Tickets are single use, one-way travel and may only be used by the original purchaser. Tickets expire at the end of each calendar month regardless of the date of purchase. There is a limit of 10 one-way trips per calendar month.

Cost

Initial Ticket Prices:

  • For training range 0 - 9: 5,000 silvers
  • For training range 10 - 19: 25,000 silvers
  • For training range 20 and up: 50,000 silvers

Each successive ticket purchase increases by that flat amount again, up to a maximum of 250,000 silvers for the most experienced of travelers.

Example:

Level 20+ character:

  • 1st one-way ticket: 50,000 silvers
