Ferry

A Ferry or a Taxi is a member of an alliance that controls Cavalon or House zu Heltzer who agrees to transport people from outside the controlling alliance to the Elite Mission outposts from the respective capitals. The member of the controlling alliance, who has direct access to the restricted areas, teams up with the players from outside the alliance desiring to be transported, and enters the Elite Mission staging area. This transports everyone in the party, including the outside members.

The term "ferry" is used equally for the service and the person providing the service. This is different from the usual English usage where it cannot apply to individuals.

Some alliances ferry people for a fee; others do it for free or tips. ArenaNet has made their position on ferrying fees known in a forum posting on guildwarsguru.com. They believe it is up to the alliances that control the cities to charge for ferrying or not, as they see fit.

For other ways of accessing Elite Missions, see the Elite Mission article.

This is different from a Runner, who will take people to areas of the game they could physically get to but find it too difficult at their current level.
