This will allow an exchange of unstackable to stackable seeds.  The box will accept single seeds or containers filled with seeds.  Please be warned that the player can’t carry the seed container and it will drop to the player’s feet.  Double click the box for instructions if needed.

       Double-click on one House Teleporter.
       When the targeting cursor appears, target the other House Teleporter.

   This is an exclusive link. Old link associations will be broken when the new link is formed.
   Faction players will no longer be able to use these while carrying a sigil

Please Note: If you have teleporters placed you do not have to relink them. If one happens to become unlinked for any reason, you will be notified by the teleporter becoming dark grey.
