Lily of Elon pass

[Tukaram.8256]

I love it. I keep it in my shared inventory because all my characters use it. Easiest bank & trading post pickup.

I love it and use it as my primary lounge and crafting spot. Had the added bonus that you sometimes log on to blitz or piñata in progress for gemstone.

You can use it Bastion to teleport back even to PoF maps, so it is useful when you forgot something like repairing or buying more of special gathering tools and Amstice Bastion do let you teleport inside that instance with a special key skill (same as you use for counter magic). Activate this key and you can go directly from where you spawn at WP to Black Lion Trading Company (to left you have a mini Mystic Forge; WvW vendor and on right bank NPC). You can use gliding to get down to all Craftstations (there is vendors for each CS, if you need to buy special craft items or recipes) or use teleport. In centre there is a large Mystic Forge and further away WvW armour and Skirmish vendors among other. It is rather fast to get around. Just make sure when you get back to normal map that you have still the default mount set up as that sometimes changes to Warclaw (wvw mount).

In my opinion AB is more useful to fast to do things, but Lily offer a way to go in the centre of PoF map (there is no teleport scroll that place you in there between south and northern region of PoF). I use Lily of Elon to go in the centre of PoF maps, not as much for all service that are offered there.

Don't forget that you have WvW with EoTM and sPvP lounge that can be used to get around. If you use WvW panel you can return to where you where on PvE maps. There is a small arrow and "Leave the Mist". It works the same way to return to where you on a map before you went to WvW or EoTM map with that panel. PvP panel have the same option, so you don't need to buy a AB or Mistlock pass to get that feature.

NOTE: When you are dead you can teleport to Lily of Elon and hope someone will resurrect you there, but at AB you can not go there until you are alive. There are some minor differences between each pass. With AB you can go to the raiding area on Lion's Arch, so AB is not only for those who play WvW, but can be useful for those who do other game modes.

@Wolfb.7025 said:I don't remember about Bastion, but for Mistlock Sanctuary, it only transports you to core tyria cities + Lion Arch's Aerodrome.

And Lily also gets to the aerodome? Or just Pof maps and core tyria without the aerodome

No, Lily of the Elon is just a lounge with all the crafting statons, most merchant NPC, it does not include a portal service to other areas.

Mistlock Sanctuary has a portal that sends you to all the core tyria cities, other lounges doesn't feature this.

You can compare the things both passes offer here:

The only value Lily offers you over all other lounge passes is that Lily teleports you to Crystal Oasis, which is a hard-to-get zone if you don't have any wp unlocked.

Lily does have portals to other cities, you go and see Rifah in the bottom left corner of the Lily and he can teleport you to any city.

I love it and use it as a hub for all my toons, by keeping it in a shared inventory spot. It's so much more compact than LA for getting to the bank, mystic forge, trading post, crafting stations, and various vendors. And yes, you can easily get to any major city merely by talking to Rifah.
