Game Mechanics Housing scroll

Add a buyable scroll via the scroll merchant at towns that have a house plot, the scroll would teleport you to your housing, and leaving your house would transport you to the last town you've been, similar to how /kill works

What would this do to benefit the overall experience of Wynncraft?​

• More incentive to use the housing system
• Super convenient after grind runs as you can immediately bank/scrap/sell haul
• Optional: Could potentially have no soul point cost, as it wouldn't be as abusable as normal transport scrolls, giving a useful alternative to /kill when stuck (if no mobs are around) and nice utility in general, though I feel it having a soul point cost similar to current teleport scrolls wouldn't ruin its usefulness

No because housing balloons are situated in towns/cities anyway...

 

I think you misunderstood or I explained poorly, but it would work similar to other existing teleport scrolls, like those to towns, you wouldn't buy a ragni scroll and then use it while ragni, but a housing scroll could be used while far off from any towns, rather than using a detlas scroll and go to the housing, you could instead just pop a housing scroll, letting you start within your housing, deposit your loot, then leave which will return you to your spawn.

Also! I made the text readable on dark mode, apologies.

 

I think the point Sniper is making is that after using a town scroll it takes 5 seconds to walk to the housing balloon.

 

The advantage of using housing scrolls is that you would exit back to where you were. That way you don’t have to travel all the way back.

 

Possibly, though many of the towns have inconvenient housing plots, to the point where its more worth it to just use a bank and run to the blacksmith, rather than enter the housing. I think it would be more convenient if you could just teleport directly to the housing. Plus, this way you could enter your housing without having to go to a town with a housing plot, incase the town you are in doesn't have one, and since leaving would then return you to your spawn, I feel these added attributes justify consideration of its existence, as it definitely wouldn't be useless. Especially if it had no soul point cost, which I feel would be fair as in all fairness its just /kill but no actual dying

________________________________

Im for sure basing this off of my own experience, but its way faster for me to just run to the blacksmith and bank in any town than it is to go to said town, enter the housing plot, deposit, then leave. Having a scroll to do it would not only cover some other niche utility, like being an alternative to /kill, but it would also cut the time investment in entering the housing plot

 

Ah didn't think of that

 

Sort of, also- when I suggest I try to think of the easiest way to program it in, and making a return point at where you are when you use the scroll would be more complicated than just resetting you to your spawn. I think it would use the same return mechanic as /kill, just putting you back at the last town you were in, STILL USEFUL as a lot of the towns you can spawn in don't have housing, banks, blacksmiths etc

________________________________

A potential flaw with this idea is that upon exiting the house to a spawn without a housing plot, it could potentially damage consistency, to those who care about that, as normally when exiting housing you just spawn next to the balloon, which is nice for immersion.

At the same time, your plot isn't consistent with the area you enter it in anyways, so I don't think it would be a dealbreaker for me

 

Yeah my main concern about it holding your previous location is that this can be abusable with things such as grind spots, allowing the player to teleport and back and forth to their bank with 0 effort

 

This is why it would just teleport you to your last spawn, similar to /kill once you leave the housing (though notably you aren't literally killed lol)

 

I think it would be very useful for integrating the housing mechanics more into the game, but I also agree that it should have a soul point cost because of its usefulness. At this point, I have no desire to even build a house or spend that much LE on housing NPC's so maybe having a scroll could make it worthwhile, with a SP cost. I think this is a really good suggestion!
