Portal Network
Related topics: Portal Nexus Dungeons
UPDATE- As of June, 2010 "Shifting Gears" patch, Town Portals that were located inside and near towns were destroyed and replaced with a portal in each town to the Town Network. This causes the following information to become obsolete. (in order to visit any of these towns, just enter the Town Network portal.)
Portal loops provide quick and easy access to most of the interesting locations in Asheron's Call.
Several main portal loops are described below.
Starter Portal Loop
This loop connects the 4 starter towns along with several other towns intended for low level adventure.
Holtburg -> Rithwic -> Shoushi <-> Yanshi -> Yaraq <-> Samsur -> back to Holtburg
There are also shortcuts from Holtburg -> Shoushi -> Yaraq -> Holtburg
Additionally, Holtburg, Shoushi, and Yaraq all have portals to Sanamar, which has portals back to all 3.
Also considered part of the loop are Rithwic -> Lytelthorpe, Shoushi -> Nanto, and Yaraq -> Al-Arqas.
Capital Portal Loop
This loop connects the 3 original capital cities along with Qalaba'r.
The portals in this loop are two-way, so the loop can be traveled in either direction.
Cragstone <-> Hebian-To <-> Qalaba'r <-> Zaikhal <-> Cragstone
Arwic Portal Loop
Another useful portal loop connecting another set of towns. Note that only some of the portals are two-way.
Arwic <-> Tou-Tou <-> Lin <-> Khayyaban <-> Al-Jalima -> Tou-Tou
