That would be a very nice future
Beating the last mission in the expansion, called “Strange Magic,” grants a reward that is a Wishing Lamp. No other achievements are necessary. The lamp can be right clicked to teleport you to Stratos. The lamp can be converted in a similar same way that evolving items can be converted. The conversion rotates between three different Wishing Lamps. One to Stratos, One to Aalishai, and one to Mearatas. The portal to Aalishai is right next to the Empyr zone line and the portal to Mearatas is right next to the Esianti zone line.
Basically, beat this mission and you have instant access to any zone in TBL other than Plane of Smoke.

You can't use it to go to palace or stone until you have the traveler achievement for the zone
True, but one work around to this join someone else fellowship and then campfire to one of the zones that the item ports you to, then you can now use the lamp to port.
Yup, what Dborgar said. I sell task adds for this lamp on my server, in part to promote more participation in TBL, and afterwards I just allow the recipient to join my fellowship and get the traveler achievements. If they are able to get lamps for three of their characters, they can then get as many additional characters as they need into these zones via their own fellowship.
Absolutely correct I was just avoiding someone trying without and then posting that it doesn't work
If I was on his server, I would pimp that bitch out.

Well, are they converted the same way prizes are? I have currently a Prize: Lightforged Dagger Ornament in my bag. you can right click hold on the item, to get the ItemDisplayWindow open.
Once open you can verify ${Window[ItemDisplayWindow].Child[IDW_iteminfo1].Text.Equal[Item I'm Trying To Convert]}, then
/notify ItemDisplayWindow IDW_ConvertButton leftmouseup
I did something accessing the ItemDisplayWindow a while back, for Collectibles.
Based on my understanding of this item, it's like the Zeuria Slide where converting it gives it a different portal.
A couple of issues I encountered while writing the macro was that the ItemDisplayWindow when accessed Via ${Window TLO would sometimes report incorrect information, and just get stuck that way. Would need to know the exact order of the conversions because I can read the Convert Button Label and do a .Find[North Ro]} for example, but that tells me what it convert it to next, not what it currently is. So I would have to use that information to know what was before that one to know if I'm on the right portal.
This is macro based thoughts, and with ItemDisplayWindow sometimes showing incorrect information, it isn't a very reliable method of handling it sadly.

So for the else bit, that's what would need to change as the above is from my previous macro. Else, it's the right item, so now see if it's the right zone that I want. etc etc.
So it's possible with a macro that you could have all your toons run. But is subject to being bugged.

/echo \arYou may be bugged, \aothe ItemDisplayWindow text is showing MQ2 \ar${Window[ItemDisplayWindow].Child[IDW_ItemInfo1].Text} \aoinstead of \ay${CheckItemName}

This item sounds like its identical to Zueria Slide on the way it converts.
http://everquest.allakhazam.com/search.html?q=zueria+slide
It would be nice if this item and zueria slide where added to mq2portalsetter (no need to reinvent the wheel by making another plugin or macro) as slash commands to convert to the teleport you want, then you could just slash command it.
For example,
/zueria nek (rotates through the convert button to get to Nektulos port, then activates the clicky)

There is no guarantee I’ll be able to do this even with the lamp (complicated code/reversing), but without it I can guarantee it will never happen
Power leveling boxes on FV to get Eqmule his lamp!

Yeah, but refer back to the issue of the random bug I mentioned previously. Sometimes the ItemDisplayWindow doesn't update it's contents and will show a previously looked at item when reading the information.
Which would cause some issues with a macro designed to flip it around to the desired location. Previously the only fix for the bug I found was camping out and reloading the toon.
Other than that it wouldn't take a whole lot of effort to sort out doing that.

Each time you convert, you need to /keypress ESC to close the itemdisplay window, then reopen the item dispay window and convert again.
Wish I knew how to write macros, but the order would be something like this:
/zueria nek
1. if find item = zueria slide: nektolus
2 /useitem zueria slide: nekutolus
3. or Else if find item = (zueria slide: dreadlands || zueria slide: great divide || zueria slide: nektulos || zueria slide: north ro || zueria slide: skyfire || zueria slide: stonebrunt)
3b: right click open item dispay window for current zueria slide: xxxx
3c. convert
3d. /keypress ESC
4. repeat 3 till find item = issued slash command
NOTE: /keypress ESC won't solve the issue if you have multiple UI windows open, then you'd have to probably right click the item display window to pull up the menu to close the window by itself.
Cool, thanks! Does it just convert to the next iteration or can you actually specify to keep converting until you hit a certain lamp?
