What is your suggestion?: Allow players to set "Royal Seed Pod" to teleport you to either Edgeville or your player-owned house.

Is this in OSRS?: The pod is, but port isn't; the location is different

Has this suggestion been accepted already?: No

How would this benefit Alora?: Just a small convenient buff to the "Royal Seed Pod" which costs 50k Loyalty points, makes those points, Points well spent. As of right now, it currently takes you to the "Gnome Stronghold". Literally takes you to a TP just to TP again lol.

I support

i’d say Just Home/edge though. not a option as then it keeps PoH tab making useful…
and Con cape is used for POH. (perk for working on con)

No support sorry. When you examine the seed it even says "King Narnode's personal seed pod, for travelling to the Grand Tree."

So? I don't understand your point. You're also required to use magic roots on antidote++s to make antivenoms... But you don't have to on here. Cmon man, can't use that kinda logic on a pserver. Private servers shine bright on convenience and right now the seedpod is not that.

The point I was trying to make is the seed pod is meant to tp you to the Grand Tree. It's how it is on OSRS and I would very much prefer we keep the custom things at a minimum. It is the best selling point of Alora after all.

Would be better to not change it! Pod should only be tping you to Grand Tree

IMO should be kept as gnome stronghold only, as with the seed pod its not really meant to be about the teleport location, but its ability to be used past level 20 wilderness. 
And considering we already have unlimited teleports home with no time delay, and multiple options for the POH via spellbook, max / comp cape etc. 

50k loyalty points isnt a huge cost, you'll literally end up maxing these with normal gameplay and have nothing to spend them on.

While this suggestion does seem to be well thought of. I'm going to have to go with a No Support. Given we have instant teleports home with ;;home and from any spellbook, I feel as though this isn't needed, and if we can keep as close to OSRS, that'd be ideal.

I’m going to have to not support this one, mostly because I think the Royal Seed Pod already fills the role it was designed for without really needing an Alora-specific buff.

The Grand Tree destination might not always be the most convenient teleport on Alora, but I don’t think every item necessarily needs to become the most efficient version of itself. Giving the Seed Pod an Edgeville or POH teleport would start overlapping with other established teleports and could make things like Construction cape/POH teleports, tablets, and other convenience items a little less meaningful.

I also think there’s something to be said for keeping items recognizable to their original purpose. The Seed Pod is tied to the Grand Tree, and changing its destination just because players generally want to end up somewhere else feels more like removing a minor inconvenience than solving an actual problem.

If there were a bigger issue with access to Edgeville or POH teleports I could understand it more, but Alora already gives us plenty of very quick ways to get around. Because of that, I’d personally rather leave the Seed Pod as it is and preserve the small differences between teleport items instead of gradually turning several of them into the same convenience tool.

No support from me, but I can understand why some players would prefer the extra convenience.
