I'm a pooper about calling it a gold-ring version at the moment. After all, a simple magical trinket works in the Elemental Confluence, but the (presently) ultimate sorcerer spell doesn't.

Unless that got fixed? I'm fairly sure I had tested it after Coase did some Confluence updates.

As far as my understanding, it needs to work without a runebook, but fail to write in a runebook, and then the implementation should be correct. Which obviously is a specific hack for 740, but it would be appreciated.

gold rings work in the confluence to get all the way out? I'm going to have to try that trick..

and.. Daid it does work without a runebook

Sense pattern (with no book out)

then just incant 740 and you'll pop back to whatever room you sensed in, so long as it's within the standard fog range.. and you don't fail :)

Here is a log from May 4th. The teleportation changes were released April 26th.

[Elemental Confluence]
Vibrations undulate through the ground, the charged pulses tearing up dirt and rock and crushing entire swathes of boulders as it travels outward in all directions. Moments later the ground reforms, healing itself as giant stones claw back up to the surface, only to collapse again beneath each additional wave of crippling energy. You also see a point of elemental tranquility.
Obvious paths: north, northeast, east, southeast, south
>sign wracking
You shudder as your life force is torn and reshaped!
You feel drained!
>turn ring
You turn the ring on your finger and feel a little pulse in it.
>sense patt
You have difficulty aligning your senses with the mana flows in this area.
>peer e
You peer east and see ...

But, yes I agree now that it works. Here is today:

[Elemental Confluence]
The sky is aglow with the heat and light from a giant raging inferno that rises above the peaks of a rocky mountain range. Ribbons of orange, red, purple, and yellow hues that stretch across the distance are reminiscent of a sunset, albeit an eerie and unnatural one. Heavy shadows are thrown across the craggy hills and rutted ground as the fiery radiance seems to be slowly expanding. You also see a twisting vortex and a point of elemental tranquility.
Obvious paths: northeast, southeast, southwest
You feel at full magical power again.
You feel less drained.
>sense patt
You attempt to align your senses with the mana flows in this area, managing to see the faint essence of a set of curving multicolored "gy-im-ka-ve" signs imbedded deep within the magic that courses through here. You concentrate intently and burn the rune pattern into your memory.

Note there was never a GM response to my request for this change: http://forums.play.net/forums/GemStone%20IV/Hunting%20and%20Combat/The%20Elemental%20Confluence%20-%20Hunting%20Area/thread/1705535?get_newest=true

Thus I assumed it had not been altered, hence my initial post. Very happy to see this working now. It's amazing for rescues (as I just discovered).

The only part which I complained was one sentence where I said the GMs never replied to the request (even though they fixed it, whether because I said something or not).

The rest is logs and either objective statements or positive statements.

If that bothers you, I will remind you we're in the "Banter" section so I'm liable to do just that.
