A '''Town Portal''' is a spell that opens a portal to the closest [[Horadrim]] [[magic]]al gateway. This spell was learnable in Diablo I, but could only be cast from scrolls in Diablo II. <u>It is not found in Diablo III.</u>
==Diablo 3 Town Portals==
There are no town portals in Diablo III. The [[D3 Team]] felt they were an exploitive game mechanism that made it too easy to escape from danger. In Diablo III characters must stay in the fight, or try to flee on foot.
To make travel easier in Diablo III, there are more [[Waypoint]]s than there were in Diablo II. There are also various conveniences to make it less necessary to return to town. These include the [[Scroll of Wealth]], the [[salvage cube]] and various conveniences from the merchant [[NPCs]] in the [[Caravan]].

We’ve also added salvaging to let players break items down into small parts that stack up in your inventory. We’ve also added a Scroll of Wealth that allows you to sell items right on location.
