Teleporter



A teleporter is a device that stands out while exploring the Crystal Desert. It will be a large whitish-brown structure, with four switches surrounding the base. If you activate a teleporter (instructions below) and step on its circular platform, it will teleport you to its matching teleporter somewhere else in the desert (usually nearby and possible to see on the map).

To activate a teleporter:
 * Step on the circular platform at the rear.
 * Observe the switches. They will all flash once simultaneously, and then they will each flash individually in a specific order - pay attention to the order in which they flash. If you miss the order, stay on the circular platform and they will flash again.
 * Step off the circular platform, and click each of the switches in that same order they previously flashed. If the selected switch is correct, it will light up. Note that you will need to allow your character to run to each switch you click before you proceed with clicking the next one; no need to rush. Once all 4 switches are lit, the teleporter will then activate; step on the circular platform to be transferred to the other teleporter it is linked with.

Once activated, a teleporter stays enabled until you zone from that area or until someone enters another combination; however, they remain active only on the side that you activate, meaning you will need to activate the opposite side to go return to your initial location.

Warning: Often, the other teleporter will be surrounded by monsters, so make sure to be ready and get the whole party to the other side quickly. A good idea is to have the rest of the party stand on the circular platform as you flip the switches; all of them will be teleported immediately as soon as you click the last switch. Then, run onto the platform and teleport yourself.

Note that having more than one player attempting to activate a teleporter at once will likely result in confusion and frustration; the group should decide on one person only who will activate the teleporter (or perhaps somebody to stand on the platform to enable the switches, and another to click the switches in the right order). Another common mistake is involves the habit of clicking a target multiple times (the GW client used to require a double-click to "use" by default, it is now a single click). Many frustrated players have clicked the next switch more than one time and, with lag as an aggravating factor, ended up activating the same switch twice, ruining the sequence.
