Toxx Forest Locked Firepot Message

[mattil]

Ok, this is probably a bug. In the necromancer hut in Toxx forest there is a firepot in the center right behind Gorjhin Sorqez. When I left click the pot I get the message:

"It's locked and you're not holding the key"

Is this actually a portal somewhere that I don't know about? Any rogues want to try and pick it? Just a bug?

Guessing it's part of miraguls highway which was a super secret network of portals in the lore, but was never really fully implemented ingame. Those locked firepots are scattered all over. The other ones I've seen are in neriak and qcat

https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq2/index.php?threads/what-do-you-know-of-miraguls-highway.377112/ just speculation all over, but popular knowledge is that the pots in td were just one part of a planned fast travel system that was never finished

Man you're awesome, first I've heard of this. I was running around trying to compile a book list for the wiki and I just randomly clicked. Thank you.

When p99 first opened up, the fire pot in tox teleported you to qeynos.

It was part of Miragul's highway, like the qcat, neriak, and lfay pots.

Guides/GMs used to be able to click them (GM flag bypassed the normal key check). Back on Mith Marr I clicked the one in Neriak and ended up in Lfay so I know where that one went. Not sure about the others. I think qcat and tox were connected though? Have to check the label on the firepot to be sure. They should have the destination's emblem on them I think.

Edit: I think it has the Erudin logo on it, so maybe not so helpful. (attached, sorry night-blind erudite)

However this newsgroup post seems to think qcat led to erudin:
