Changing Your Bind Point

QUESTION

Can I change the location my character goes to when I use my recall ability?

ANSWER

The location your character defaults to when you recall is called your bind point. In Vanguard, changing your bind point requires you to locate a bind stone. You'll find bind stones located throughout Telon, generally in convenient locations near cities and outposts. Bind stones are found on large platforms similar to those on which altars (the location you'll land at if your character dies) are found, except that instead of an altar a bind stone will have a green pillar in the center of the platform. To activate the bind stone, simply right click on the green pillar. Be warned that you will not receive any sort of confirmation message asking whether you truly want to bind at this location--make sure before you click! However, if you should happen to accidentally activate a bind stone, you'll have a few seconds to hit the ESCAPE key on your keyboard to interrupt the process before you're bound for good.

Don't look for bind stones to be close together. Travel is part of the adventure in Telon, and bind stones are meant not to minimize travel but to prevent long tedious runs to return to a location where your character can rest safely or buy and sell goods.
