Guild Wars 2

It appears that this lets you WP to the airship and back to your original location without any WP fees, unlike traveling to LA and back to your original location.

If you were to you use on a full map instance, would it reserve your spot in that map instance so when you exited the airship, you would be back on the same map instance?

Thanks

No, it wouldn’t. If you leave an instance, you risk losing your spot in it if it fills up. Nothing can reserve your spot in a map.

If they don’t have a pass, they can’t enter the airship.

I wonder if anyone has tried Teleport to a Friend. The Airship and Royal Terrace are not an instance as you you can read map chat. The Terrace has walls around it to keep people out and the Airship is too high to get to. The pass just acts like a waypoint.

I just tested the Royal Terrace with Teleport to a Friend. It teleports them to you initially, but then it kicks them out almost immediately after. I’d imagine the Captain’s Airship is the same.

Interesting, it must check for the pass after they get there.

Wait a sec. You can go back to your original location (like with PvP/WvW)? I thought you couldn’t do that with this?

No it does not.

You either chose a city or you exit to Gendarrin, or at least that is how it has worked for me, no change if you log out to character screen either As in logging out doesn’t take you back to where you were.

So am I understanding this correctly? If I use this, for example, in Silverwastes and it ports me to the airship. When I exit the airship I will exit somewhere (where exactly?) in Brisband Wildlands. It does not simply let me let me enter and exit to the same location.

If you exit the airship, you will end up below it in Gendarran Fields, by the Vigil HQ.

I have both the Captain’s Airship Pass and the Royal Terrace Pass (what can I say, I’m lazy with my alts). OP is misinformed. Neither of them function the way he described.

There is Home Portal Stone which was briefly on sale some months ago. That one does function in the manner described. Click while in Silverwastes and it takes you to your home town. Click again and it takes you back to Silverwastes. I bought that too but haven’t used it, as having all the services I need right there in the Airship or Royal Terrace is worth a few silver’s teleport fee worth of convenience.

If all you need is to visit the bank, merchant, or Black Lion trade vendor, it is now more convenient to enter the PvP Mists since they added those NPCs there. Exiting the Mists takes you back to the same location you were originally in. Adding those NPCs there substantially degraded the value of the two passes.
