TheQuickFox.3826 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Distance is long and long distance travel isn't cheap. Think twice before you book a flight from Bjora to Cantha. At least make sure you packed everything you need in your suitcase as going back and forth will drain your wallet. 12 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQuickFox.3826 Posted March 1, 2022 Author Share Posted March 1, 2022 Also, the content guide points me to a non-functioning Asura Gate in Lions Arch when I have the Cantha story selected. (The one between the Divinity's Reach and Southsun Cove portals) 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 If you have a guild hall in Cantha you should be able to go there free then to a Canthan waypoint. I’m also hoping one of the merchants will sell a portal scroll for fast travel to the city. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorani.7205 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I was searching for an option in LA, but only saw the dysfunctional Asura Gate. 8-10 silver for a WP to Cantha is NOT OK ! 5 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawanarth.4601 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 They should have international way points Like one per region (Kryta, Ascalon, Maguma Waste/Jungle...) that is way cheaper to go too but is less flexible (being only on certain maps and not all of them) 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dippy.8961 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 kitten... I didn't even think about getting back to Cantha. Like, to get out, I have portal scrolls to everywhere, and guild halls, but wow, getting back will be pricey. 😵 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the Armistice Bastion one, because of the connection to WvW. Only bought one.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khisanth.2948 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 PoF has a gizmo that teleports you to Vabbi. I assume EoD has more than one day worth of content so a similar gizmo might remain to be found. Is there even any reason to be bouncing between the farthest points of the world?

Drarnor Kunoram.5180 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) The good news is that you do get an Arborstone Portal Scroll for free in the story. You're going to have to play through a bit to get to that point, but it is free of charge.

When I came back 1.5 years ago I had a farming run that went all over Tyria and was costing me over a gold a day, even with the most optimized route I could manage (admittedly, it was a ridiculous 3-4 hour run...lol). I quickly invested in portal scrolls to cut my travel costs, and started taking advantage of guild hall locations. If Cantha had been in that run with no portal scrolls, oof. 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSENAL.4016 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I watched the video and thought you were being funny, but now... In what universe is 11 silver a lot? Especially when they give you a Portal scroll in story, and everywhere prior to EoD portal scrolls are sold for pennies already. 0.055% of your Dailies earnings is still pretty cheap. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jianyu.7065 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Not sure what the issue is here. You can acquire silver in any sum unnoticeably. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labjax.2465 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Might be it's all based on the same distance calculation and they didn't think about how far it could go as the world gets bigger. Prob something they should cap. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breandt.1380 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Hello, I'm new to the forum and relatively new to the game (been playing since late January) I'm level 64 with my first character, and still grinding towards 80. But I realized that since the latest update, waypoints are much more expensive. It may not be related to the update, though. I don't know if the price scales with character/account level, the amount of coin you have in your wallet or if there's anything I need to know related to this, but standing next to the waypoint, it wants to charge me 1 silver and 6 coppers, as you can see in this image. I usually travel through Lion's Arch and towards the capital cities of the different realms to avoid the expense, but can someone explain why this happens? Last monday I was around level 57 and it charged me way less coin. Thanks in advance if someone can give me an explanation on this topic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyssia.4637 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 (edited) Waypoint prices do scale up as you level, and with the distance traveled. I seem to remember there's a point leveling where it suddenly seems steep, but I'm sure there's a specific percentage increase per level. Checking the wiki now, but that likely explains the increase you've seen. Edit: Yep, here it is: Waypoint - Guild Wars 2 Wiki (GW2W) Scroll down to "Formula" and it shows the math, if that's the kind of thing that interests you.
