I just tested with my old character using a rune, and it still utilizes a UMD roll in combat log. The only difference I can tell is that using a rune automatically generates the concentration check afterward(obviously because the location is set on the rune, and not something you need to choose from the pop-up window). So, yes, the rune system might be slightly better in that regard.

I'm still willing to try the DMFI thing, but I'll take Valeforts advice and wait a reset before logging back in.

You say that but I've never had any issue so it has to be something at character level.

Players have issues with it all the time. Whatever the origin of the issues is, those issues exist and the system is very unreliable right now. If it always works for you but not for others, that's unreliable too.

I'm not disputing that part, however a blanket statement of using old runes system when it works correctly and reliably for some seems a bit much ;)

It isn't much if you count on individual discernment. Does the new improved system work for you at all times? Keep using it. Does it never work or only work sporadically? Stick to the old inferior, but more reliable, system. That's what all of us who can't use the new system should do until there is a fix.

Welp, my theory of it being the DMFI tool looks like a bust. Actually, I think it made things worse... as using the teleport scroll on my character now results in two UMD rolls (both DC: 30), and then the concentration check :lol: Of note, despite the double UMD + 1 concentration roll, only one scroll was used.

All subsequent tries were done using runes, a single DC: 30 UMD and concentration check remained, and failure to make the UMD roll still results in the loss of a teleport scroll. :doh:

*Late edit* - Both tries, using self and runes with scrolls, were not attempted on re-marked/new locations... should I perhaps try to clear all my runes and destinations in 'manage locations' and give it another go?

Pretty sure these are stored on KEMO Scry widget, not the DMFI tool, so replacing the DMFI tool alone wouldn't help.

This teleportation system is so fidgety that I just pack a whole lot of Empty Runes and rely on those.

Maybe this will help someone: I've found that I can mark runes after my first login after the server reset. All other attempts simply fail and I have to wait till the next server reset if I've reloged since then.

It has been my experience that Mark Rune only sticks if it is your first time logging in that reset cycle.

When logging out and back in, subsequent Mark Runes do not stick, but I have had success marking multiple just fine during a single login if it is my only login that reset.
