Book Portals

Bind Book Keys and Portal Scrolls to frames for personal fast travel.

What it is

Book Portals are a personal fast travel network. You build a Book Portal Frame, activate it with an Unbound Book Key, then travel with that Bound Book Key or with Portal Scrolls bound to the same portal.

Buy Unbound Book Keys and Portal Scrolls from /shop under Custom items → Bookportals.

Base limits for new players (Trainer):

  • 1 personal portal
  • 10 second cooldown after creating a portal
  • Up to 2 shares per key

Playtime ranks raise portal limits to 2 (Rookie), 3 (Ace Trainer / Veteran), and 5 (Champion). See Timed Ranks.

Book Keys

  1. Buy an Unbound Book Key from the shop.
  2. Build a valid Book Portal Frame (hub tutorials or signs show the pattern).
  3. Use the Unbound Book Key on the frame to bind it. The key becomes a Bound Book Key for that portal.
  4. Walk through the portal while holding the Bound Book Key to travel.

When you hold a Bound Book Key near its portal, the portal reacts with particles. If you are close enough, an action bar compass also points you toward that portal.

You can dye Bound Book Keys in crafting to recolor the portal visuals.

Portal Scrolls

Portal Scrolls are one-hand travel tickets for a portal you already own.

  1. Buy an Unbound Portal Scroll from the shop.
  2. Put the scroll in your off hand.
  3. Hold a Bound Book Key in your main hand, sneak, and use the key to bind the scroll to that portal.
  4. Use the Bound Portal Scroll (or walk through the frame while holding it) to travel.

Scrolls can be dyed the same way as keys.

Sharing
