and this portion of the Coldain Shawl Quests can be done by anyone with a minimal pottery skill and results in a gate potion to Thurgadin.

The following is a cut and paste of part of the Fur-Lined Prayer Shawl (Shawl No. 4) quest in Thurgadin. If you're willing to spend a little time, this is an option. You do not have to do any other part of the shawl quest to do this but I don't know how good your Thurgadin faction has to be to get Frundle to respond.

in Thurgadin, find Frundle.

You say, 'Hail, Frundle Frenklar'

You say, 'What velium vapors?'

Frundle Frenklar says 'Ahh, you come seeking my family recipe? After all you've done for our people it's the least I can do. First you must fashion a velium vial, then combine the vial with two small pieces of velium in this jar. That's all there is to it. Please keep the recipe a secret.'

You say, 'What velium vial?'

Frundle Frenklar says 'I'm no potter mind you, but if I remember correctly it's a small brick of velium, three crystalline silks, and two glass shards. Then you'll have to finish up by firing it in a kiln with a high quality firing sheet.'

You receive a Velium Purifier.

Small Pieces of Velium and Small Blocks of Velium can be looted on Ry’Gorr Minors in Crystal Caverns or off spiders in Velketor's Labyrinth.

Crystalline Silk can be found on spiders in both zones.

1) Combine a small (7 lb) brick of velium, three unstacked crystalline silks and two glass shards in a pottery wheel. You will receive an Unfired Velium Vial.

2) Combine the Unfired Velium Vial and a HQ firing sheet in the kiln and receive a Velium Vial.

3) Combine the Velium Vial and two unstacked small pieces of Velium in the Velium purifier. The Velium Purifier disappears and you are left with a [Red]Vial of Velium Vapors. The vial is a lore item and has one charge of gate to Thurgadin. Cast time is 10 seconds.[/navy]

Magicians can summon a Summoned: Talisman of Return. To use this, you need to have a Quintessence of Knowledge. The summoned talisman is no rent and cast time is 30 seconds. The Quintessence is currently around 135-145pp on Terris Thule.

I believe a gate potion is about 350pp.

Keep gate potions on hand for when you have no other options. When you know before you go hunting that you'll want/need a way home, the magician summoned talisman is probably your least expensive option.
