Guild Wars 2

I bought a Captain’s Airship Pass to check it out – on the description it reads “Quick travel to all cities” as one of the features- but I could not find a portal or place to do so, does anyone know if there is a place on the airship to do this?

Also, on the Royal Terrace Pass, if you double click the pass does it teleport you there like the Captain’s Airship Pass or do you have to go to Divinity’s Reach first and gain entry with the pass through the gate?

The Airship has an NPC that allows you to choose a destination.

For the Royal Terrace, you can double-click the pass to reach it from anywhere in the open world (similar to other teleports, it won’t work from e.g. home instances).

edit: thanks to khani, who pointed out my bad word choice. Airship has an NPC that will transport you to the main cities; Terrace uses an Asura Gate. I had written ‘portal’ to mean both types of mechanisms, however I forgot that most people use “portal” and “Asura Gate” interchangeably.

The Airship has a portal that allows you to choose a destination. IIRC, it’s on the top.

For the Royal Terrace, you can double-click the pass to reach it from anywhere in the open world (similar to other teleports, it won’t work from e.g. home instances).

The airship doesn’t have a portal or indication of how to travel to other cities. You talk to the Airship Captain at the front of the inside cabin (by the crafting stations) and he asks you where you’d like to go.

The royal terrace has a portal inside that you go up to and when you interact you then get a pop up asking you where you’d like to go.

Both of the passes you just double click and you’re there. Even if you’re standing in the zone, just double click and you’re there. .

My apologies. I used the word “portal” generically, as in “access to the other zones.” Khani is correct that it’s not an Asura Gate, which is what most people would have expected “portal” to refer to.

(I’ve corrected my post accordingly.)

If you haven’t bought the permanent version yet, you might want to get the Royal Pass.
1) it ports you directly to Divinities Reach instead of a ship in a map outside LA
2) from there you can wp to any place in DR free of charge, including your Home Instance
3) the way to get to other cities is really obvious as it’s a large portal right by the Trading Post NPC.

the other difference (if it matters to you)

The airship has a black lion weapon vendor and activities person right there.
The Terrace pass you have to port elsewhere in DR for the black lion vendor and go to LA for the activity of the day person.

I have both and love having both (I keep them on two different characters).

Just a comment. If you have a 10 scraps or a ticket in your inventory you can click on it while anywhere and it will give you access to what the Black Lion Weapons vendor is selling. You can preview what he has, buy from him and have it delivered to you, so it’s not necessary to directly go to him if you want to buy something.
