Master the fast travel system in Ainground. Every teleport stone location priority, dungeon shortcuts, and navigation tips.
How Teleport Stones Work
Blue teleport crystals are scattered throughout Ainground in towns, field crossroads, and dungeon interiors. When you walk up to and touch a stone for the first time, it activates permanently. After activation, you can fast travel to that stone from anywhere (except during active boss fights) by opening the map and selecting it.
Activation Priority
This is the single best navigation tip I can give you: whenever you enter a new area, find and activate the teleport stone BEFORE you do anything else.
Why? Because:
• If you die, you respawn at the last activated stone rather than all the way back in town.
• When your inventory fills up with loot, you can teleport back to town, sell/repair/restock, and teleport right back to where you were -- faster than walking back and forth.
• If a boss is too hard, you can teleport out, grind, gear up, and teleport directly back instead of reclearing the dungeon.
• When a quest tells you to go somewhere, you can check if you already have a stone nearby.
Player Tip: Make teleport stone activation your first action in every new zone. I cannot count how many times I have seen new players run deep into an area without activating the stone, die, and have to walk all the way back from town. It is soul-crushing.
Where to Find Stones
• Town centers -- Every major town has at least one teleport stone, usually near the central plaza.
• Field entrances/exits -- The boundary between regions often has a stone nearby.
• Crossroads and major landmarks -- Where multiple paths meet, look for a stone.
• Dungeon entrances -- Virtually every dungeon has a stone right outside or just inside the entrance.
• Before boss rooms -- Many dungeons have a stone in the room or corridor immediately before the boss chamber. This is the most important one because it lets you retry the boss without reclearing the whole dungeon.
• Hidden areas -- Some stones are on side paths or behind breakable walls. If the map shows a grayed-out marker you haven't activated yet, investigate.
Checking for Missed Stones
Open your map and look for stone icons. Activated stones appear blue/filled in; unactivated ones appear grayed out. If you are exploring a region and see a gray marker, it means there is a stone somewhere in that direction that you have not found yet. Some are on obvious paths, while others are tucked in alcoves or on elevated platforms that require careful exploration.
It is worth backtracking to grab these. Every stone you activate adds to your fast travel network and makes future exploration of that area more convenient.
