How to Fast Travel

Learn how to fast travel in Enshrouded using Flame Altars and Ancient Spires. Discover the best methods to traverse the map quickly and efficiently.

Alright, let's talk about getting around Enshrouded without wearing out your virtual boots! Fast travel is super important for saving time, especially when you're gathering rare resources or need to get back to base quickly. Luckily, the game gives you a couple of solid ways to zip across the map.

Fast Travel Method 1: Flame Altars

Think of Flame Altars as your personal teleportation beacons. You craft these yourself, and the first one you place is pretty much your initial respawn point. Each Altar costs just five stones to place, which is a steal. The catch? You can only place a limited number of them at first. To place more, you'll need to 'Strengthen Flame' by gathering specific resources shown when you interact with an Altar. These resource requirements get tougher as you upgrade, asking for rarer materials.

Once you've got a few Altars down, just open your map. You'll see little Flame Icons representing each Altar you've placed. Click on one, and bam! You're teleported there. It's super handy for setting up forward bases or quick return points.

Fast Travel Method 2: Ancient Spires

These are the game's major fast travel hubs. You'll find one in each major area of the map. Getting to the top of an Ancient Spire is a challenge in itself – it's usually a dungeon filled with traps and puzzles, but thankfully, no enemies. You'll often get a quest leading you to them, either from a Flame Altar or one of your crafters.

Conquering a Spire does two awesome things: first, it reveals a bunch of points of interest on your map around that Spire's location. Second, and most importantly for fast travel, it unlocks that Spire as a permanent fast travel point. You can then select these completed Spires on your map to teleport to them.

The game currently has three Ancient Spires you can find:

• Ancient Spire - Low Meadows
• Ancient Spire - Springlands
• Ancient Spire - Revelwood

Using these Spires in combination with your Glider is a fantastic way to cover huge distances quickly. Imagine gliding from a high Spire straight towards your next objective!

A Note on Deathwarp:

Okay, so technically, dying is a form of fast travel. When you die, you'll respawn at the last Flame Altar or checkpoint you activated. However, this comes with a significant downside: you'll lose any items you were carrying unless you managed to activate a checkpoint near a dungeon. So, while it gets you back in the game, it's definitely not the preferred method!

General Fast Travel Tips:

• You can't fast travel if you're inside the Shroud. Make sure you're in a safe, non-shrouded area before opening your map to teleport.
• Open your map, then simply click on the Flame Icon (for Altars) or the Spire Icon (for Ancient Spires) you want to travel to.
• Strategically placing Flame Altars is key. Think about where you'll be doing a lot of gathering or building and place one nearby.
• Ancient Spires are your main travel network. Prioritize clearing them out as you explore new areas.
