Recall
A Scroll of Recall, recall scroll, or just recall is an item in the Shadowbane world which when activated, will transport its caster to where their bind point, (usually their Tree of Life). Scroll of Recall is available at any Sage, and in three quantity options:
- Basic Scroll of Recall, provides one trip home. Item will vanish when used.
- Bundled Scrolls of Recall, a pack of five recalls. Item will vanish after five uses.
- Tome of Recall, a book of twenty recalls. Item will vanish after twenty uses.
Activation
As with any item, one may activate their scroll of recall in a few different ways:
- Double-clicking the item in their inventory
- Having the item selected and pressing the "utilize" hotkey, (defult u)
- Clicking on it's cameo in the hotbar, provided it has been established there
Cast Warning
As recalling is an efficient method of escape, the recall scroll will delay for seven seconds before the point at which you are transported, or no longer where you were before. During this delay, the user is encompassed by a bright, expanding, and very noticeable particle sphere to warn others of his or her action, so they might have a chance to react.
As a Power
All mage-based characters have access to a spell version of the recall scroll called Astral Tether at level twenty (prerequisite 60 Sorcery). When activated, Astral Tether will act in exactly the same way as a recall scroll. A character may only use this power once every five minutes.
Techniques
Errant Recall
Errant recall is a technique used primarily with the activation of a new server to gain footing towards an area of the world without having to run as far. One who is errant, and thus without a binding point, when recalling, will be transported to one of the many ruins placed throughout the map at random. To perform an errant recall, simply be errant and continually use a recall until you have reached the desired ruins on the map.
Stealth Recall
Stealth recall is a technique used by anyone who has the hide power. With standard recalling, you are transported to your bind point without a safe mode, therefore you leave yourself open to ambush during the loading tunnel. Stealth recall is a method for avoiding this; to perform it, simply cast the hide power immediately following the activation of a recall scroll. This technique can also be used to avoid the cast warning. It is recommended that the user have highly-trained or grand mastered level hide to perform this technique successfully.
