Fast Travel — How the Hearth System Works
Witchspire's fast travel is built around the Hearth — a placeable structure that acts as both your base hub and your teleport point.
How to Fast Travel
- Place a Hearth in the world.OfficialDev-reported — LiVam, "Feedback and Suggestions", Feb 11
- Once a Hearth is placed, you can teleport to it from anywhere via the map.Community-reported
- Open the map and click on a Hearth icon to teleport.
Fast Travel is based on Hearth-to-Hearth teleportation through the map.Dev-reported
Hearth Placement
- Each island typically has about 1 Hearth location available. Community-reported
- You can carry a second Hearth and place it anywhere for an extra teleport point. Community-reported
- Maximum number of Hearths: Unknown. Community reports suggest at least 2, but the exact cap is unconfirmed. Needs verification
Hearth Upgrades
Upgrading your Hearth increases its functionality. Key upgrade levels:
| Level | Requirement | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Level 3 | Simple Ritual Candles (Wood) | Community-reported |
| Level 7 | Ritual Candles (Beeswax) | Community-reported |
| Other levels | Needs verification | — |
Known Issues
Teleport Failure
Some players report being unable to teleport to their Hearth at times.
Broom is NOT Fast Travel
The Broom is a flying mount, not a teleport. It lets you fly but doesn't skip distance.
Home Scrolls
These become largely redundant once you have Hearth-based fast travel.
Co-op Note
In multiplayer, only the host's Hearths function for fast travel. Guests teleport using the host's placed Hearths. Needs verification
