SUGGESTION: Teleport Options for Strongholds.

[Gargoyle Girl]

The ability to move the arrival location.
It would be nice to arrive at the manor in the center, or anywhere else on the island that a player might find more convenient than that dock behind the manor that is close to nothing. Some people might not care, but being able to arrive, do what needs doing and move along would be great. For example, being able to place it near the cook for setting up feasts, or near the merchant to check their wares.

The ability to build Lesser Portals in your Stronghold.
This idea opens the possibility for players to place small or 'localized' portals in the various areas within their stronghold that are free to use so they can go from one area to the next easily and quickly, much like the portals between the farms.

The ability to set up a Portal Statue in your Stronghold.
This would function much like the Portal Statues in the main towns, but would become linked to each one as you found them for the first time. This would mean that as you moved around the world, you could go from your Stronghold to any main town you had previously visited, making getting around in general a lot easier.

I kind of understand why you limited the means of travel to make your Crystslline Aura bundles seem more enticing, but this seems to me to be complicating things unnecessarily.

Anything that would provide an actual benefit for users would inevitably be linked to the cash shop in one way or another.

The travel system in Lost Ark is designed to be painful; your suggestion would connect most continents, bypassing a lot if the painful parts Thus, not happening for average players

Yeah, that's why I mentioned it in the next few lines. I realize it would cut into the cash shop a bit, but I think occasionally *not* treating players like mobile, disposable money bags could have a positive reaction from them. xD

Hmmm...I teleport into my stronghold wherever I left off, which is usually by the merchant. You don't need to use the portals in the stronghold to leave since you can just use song of escape and it'll take you back to wherever you were.

I do like the idea of having triport type jigs around the stronghold to save time moving around. There's sort of that with the farm and cave though not as advanced or convenient as it should be.

Whenever I go to my stronghold, it puts me at that dock behind the manor, and if I go to someone else's, it places me by the merchant.

As for the smaller portals, that's what I was thinking. Small portals that you could place that would take you to other areas, similar to how you move to the farm areas.
