Ancient Tome of Portal: Dalaran

This spell allows a mage to make a portal to Dalaran Crater-- i.e. Dalaran's old location. This tome is essentially an out-of-date GPS map.

Should've got a Garmin.

Makes me wonder if maybe the portal to Theramore will stay put, seeing as it also goes to a big friggin' crater. I'd heard rumors that this would be its replacement - but since this is a level 90 tome...

Just wait for April the 1st, so many chances for fun...........

Very useful for around Winter's Veil (if you have a slowfall!)

Well, yes and no. It's also a handy way for the Alliance to easily get to the northern end of the Eastern Kingdoms, since there's no other portal location nearby (other than the Isle of Quel'Danas via Shattrath).

Obtained from [url=http://www.wowhead.com/npc=28715]Endora Moorehead[/url] after learning the personal teleport.

Takes you to Dalaran Crater in Hillsbrad.

This portal is THE best portal spell for people like me. I have always loved the idea of opening portals to random places for those that don't watch where they're going, or opening portal roulette (portals on top of each other so you get ported to a random place). Now this portal teleports you into MID AIR for EVERYONE. That means it is possible to create a RUSSIAN PORTAL ROULETTE now, which could never be done before. However taking this portal [u]DOES NOT[/u] dismount you. So it's only possible to kill people that are not on flying mounts.

Shhhh! Dont tell them our secret!

Should not be attempted on the following. Druids with flight form, Pandaren rogues with glyph of safe-fall, Mages, engineers, priests, players on a flying mount, monks with gylph of zen meditation, or anyone with great luck with noggenfogger. Enjoy ^.~

you evil mages soon to be warlocks

Be sure to create the portal inside a building, forces them to be dismounted!

I had a GM that liked to open this portal instead of regular Dal after a raid as a joke

Is this still available? I went to Dalaran to get this and everything she sales is there except for this. Any ideas? I havent bought it yet, it just doesnt show up.

Looking at the vendor is a (1) item meaning it is on a timer as she only sells 1 at a time.

I'm not sure but i think you need to get Ancient Tome of Teleport: Dalaran first. You can find it at the bookshelf after you have killed the last boss in the new Scarlet Halls. But be careful to stand in front of him, so he don't burn the book. Difficulty doesn't matter. Video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhBsQqq-PtU&feature=plcp, or it's just because it is out of stock.

OMG this is a blast maybe ppl will stop asking for ports or get more savy to this.

I can confirm that the Ancient tome of portal: dalaran did not show up for me until i learned the Ancient Tome of Teleport: Dalaran from scarlet halls

For those wondering about portals to places that no longer exist such as old Dalaran and Theramore, the answer can be found in one of the filler books in Dalaran for the "Higher Learning" Achievement entitled "Thinking with Portals - A Memorandum on Proper Portal Usage" ([object=192881 domain=www]#comments)

Rule number 1 about portals is below - mages have the ability to create portals to anywhere, but the penalty for doing so to a non Kirin-Tor approved destination is forbidden and punishable with death (through I'd love to get my hands on one of these D-6 Permits). Despite the cities no longer being there the portal designations were already established and thus can still be used without Jaina hunting you down.

"Rule #1: Do not create a portal to anywhere but the designated Kirin Tor portal drop-off zones. The most dangerous aspect of the portal spell is its vast potential. We realize it's easy for a mage to create a door to anywhere, so our only way to combat such potentially deadly acts is to make it punishable by death. Special Issue License D-6 permits open portal usage, but is rarely issued. Speak with your local Portal Trainer about qualifying for this license.".

o.O My portal trainer has left me in the dark all these years! Damn man wheres the application for that D-6?

Seriously, if my Portal Trainer ever offered me Special Issue License D-6 I'd be all over that.

So Mage player characters will be seen as the leader of their class in Legion, but still not qualify, huh? I guess that explains portals made by some NPCs though, like at the end of raids.

or the ones that like port you from Slabhide to STonecore entrance. And just WHAT makes Jaina think she';s the authority on magic. I'm sure the monks, paladins, priests, shamans and druids would be happy to have a say.

Not to mention she wouldn't KNOW magic if it werent for the Quel'dorei/Sin'dorei (this combined race taught arcane magic as it is known today)

You could totally grief someone if they aren't paying attention to the spell you cast. The portal once open looks exactly the same as the normal portal to Dalaran and it says Portal to Dalaran, just like the normal portal. However, if you watch as the mage casts the spell it says "Ancient Portal: Dalaran"

shush your giving away our secrets

Dude we do this with stonard and it looks nothing like dalaran or any other portal. Stop assuming anyone pays attention before clicking.

Summary of how to get this:

[ul] [li]Fly to [url=http://www.wowhead.com/zone=6052/scarlet-halls]Scarlet Halls[/url] (right hand instance). Normal or Heroic mode.[/li]

[li]Make sure you kill the final boss ([url=http://www.wowhead.com/npc=59150]Flameweaver Koegler[/url]) fast and stand infront of him to block him burning his books.[/li]

[li]Loot book from the shelf just inside on the right. (If you look backwards towards the door, it's just on the left)[/li]

[li]Learn [url=http://www.wowhead.com/item=82469]Ancient Teleport: Dalaran[/url].[/li]

[li]Go to regular Dalaran[/li]

[li]You can now buy one copy of [url=http://www.wowhead.com/item=82470]Ancient Tome of Portal: Dalaran[/url] from [url=http://www.wowhead.com/npc=28715]Endora Moorehead[/url] (in the room to the left of the Violet Citadel steps) - though if someone has bought it recently, you might need to wait up to an hour for her to sell it again.[/li] [/ul]

Just so people know you dont have to do the 2 quests, can just run to the last boss kill and loot the tome to the right.

Out of curiosity, I took my level 87 mage into the Scarlet Halls. I was able to loot the Ancient Teleport: Dalaran tome, but of course cannot use it yet.

I actually had to loot the boss before I could loot the book from the shelf.

One minor addition: the book is actually three book cases in from the door, the description above makes it sounds like it's right next to the door. I ran this a few times thinking I'd failed until I found a video which showed the precise location. :-)

I just realized that https://www.wowhead.com/npc=28715 is the name of Samantha's mother on Bewitched... Mother's name is Endora and the last name of the actress that played her was Moorehead.. Sorry.. just a random thought...

Rule #3: Never force or trick anyone to go through a portal. Not only is this a great way to lose repeat customers, it's also incredibly dangerous (See Rule #2).

LIMITED SUPPLY! >_>

There are endless trolling opportunities with this spell. Recently used it in Dragon Soul, where you need to wait for the portal to appear at the top of the tower. Lot of people died taking that portal ^_^ Have fun with it. Also reply on what other trolls you have done using this spell.

As some comments mention, this is of limited supply from the vendor. The uncornfirmed respawn time is about 30 mins. I had a friend buy one and when I logged to my mage 15 mins later, it was not there. Waited a bit and then saw it for sale. I say unconfirmed because I didn't time it as such but more rough timings. This might help some people if they are struggling to get it from the vendor.

Agreeing with the approx 30 minute wait for the book to respawn.

I just went and got the tome for the teleport to Dalaran so I could get the portal to troll people. So I teleported to Dalaran and pressed the wrong one and killed myself. The troll gods trolled me hard.

You know you have slowfall yeah? :p

I pressed Ice Block and it bugged and didnt work! I only realised when I hit the ground it hadnt worked properly.

I used to love the old days when ports and summons looked alike. More than once I sent an entire raid to Darnasses just for the heck of it. Throw up a portal, then say in raid chat "Hey, help me summons please guys!" Boom, everyone clicked without looking. Good times.

My husband and I went to buy this at the same time. I bought mine and it took one hour for the respawn for him.

Found this teleport convenient to get north quick for the Winter Veil's [quest=6983].

Edit (Oct 23, 2014): Also useful to quickly get north to do Hallow's End's [quest=29371].

I like to place this on top of a Banquet, Noodle Cart, Soulwell, or Mage Food in LFR. I typically get 2 or 3 every raid. I know it is pretty messed up but it is funny as hell. By the way, don't do this if you are the only Mage.

You, sir, exemplify the sense of humor that gives a bad name to gamers. I expect that among the group of people you do that to, you are the only one who finds it funny.

I find it funny..

Don't forget to tip your fedora, Barleduq.

Before they patched it, I used to love to place this portal on top of soulwells in the only bg which allowed it - Deepwind Gulch. Nothing like handing out falling deaths with 15 minute deserter debuffs attached to get you some angry whispers lol

Now THIS is really amusing to use after a raid or something, just summon the portal and stand there and wait for your raid chat to blow up with messages "WTF?" I do it all the time :)
