As I understand it, and please correct me if I'm wrong:
If I want to make runs from Haven to Moorcroft, there is no charge per run.
If I want to make runs from Emberlight to the core, there is no charge per run.
If I want to make runs from Moorcroft to Emberlight, there is a charge of 1,000 per run.
And it's worse.
If I want to run from Emberlight to the core, then in theory, after finishing the Emberlight dungeon, before the core, I have a level where I can return to Emberlight.
If I finish the dungeon off of Moorcroft, I don't have a choice to return -- I'm automatically put in Emberlight and have to pay to get back to where I'm OK.
PLEASE, tell me I'm misunderstanding things.
Otherwise, this is a suggestion to make moorcroft runs better.
Several nights ago, I joined a core run in-progress from Haven, and at the end took the town elevator... which deposited me back in Haven. (so much for saving me the drudgery of re-generating my travel pass...)
So it appears that the core elevator does not always deposit you at emberlight- rather, that it sends you back to your last town. Or, at very least, that moorcroft and Haven work in fundamentally different ways.
