Leyali's Guide to Obelisks, Part 1: The Basics
Obelisk's in Labyrinth of the Minotaur are one of the most powerful and most confusing new elements in this upcoming expansion. While simple to understand on the basic concept, they have many baffling quirks about that that seem to repeatedly confuse and frustrate players. As such, I've put together these guides to help everyone understand the many intricate details that will help clear the frustration and help you enjoy your time playing in the new expansion area.
First of all, This is an Obelisk

All of them are named 'Obelisk of Nurizane" and the first four you'll meet are in the 'Hub', also known as "Nurizane's Crossroads".

The Hub is exactly what it sounds like. It's a general focus point from where you'll be doing most of your teleporting around the Labyrinth from. Anytime you visit an Obelisk away from the Hub, it will teleport you directly to a Hub Obelisk.

When you use a Hub Obelisk, you'll be shown a window that looks much like this.

Selecting "Svasud Faste", "Tower of Deifrang", or "Decayed Lands", will teleport you to the Frontier instantly at that given location. Obviously for Hibernia and Albion, the names and locations will be a little different, but the general idea works the same.
But before those names you see three other names. [Collapsed], [Flooded], and [Clockwork]. These are labels for the three different sections of the Labyrinth. Each Section contains a list of all the Obelisk's in that section that you could potentially teleport to. Their's one Obelisk near every Relic Encounter, and many are just near potentally interesting encounters so you'll want to eventually visit them all. Note that, only from the Hub can you teleport to a non Hub Obelisk. All other non Hub Obelisk's will teleport you back to the Hub. You're going to need to familiarize yourself with the different sections of the Labyrinth so you'll know what section you're in at any given time. Here are screen shots of the various Sections.
Now, when you select a Section, You'll be presented with an impressive long list of names. Each of these names is one of the many potental Obelisk's you can visit. Say you wish to visit the Shrine of Tegashirg. The first Clockwork Obelisk you'll undoubtedly find. First select [Clockwork]. Then select [Shrine of Tegashirg] and you'll be instantly teleported there. But please note, their's one important detail you need to be aware of first.
=== You can only teleport to Obelisk's you've already visited. ===
So unless you have already visited the Obelisk at the Shrine of Tegashirg. You can't teleport there. Once you visit the shrine obelisk for the first time and right click on it. You'll complete a quest like this one for the Temple of Laresh.

At this point, you can now go back and visit that Obelisk any time you want. To see all the Obelisk's you've already visited. Just do a /quest command and look at the ones you've already completed.
Making Macros to the Hub (/macro Hub /say Nurizane's Crossroads) or to important destinations (/macro Var /say Shrine of Vartigeth (West)) can help you travel swiftly, specially when you might be in danger.
One other important note is about Obelisks that are away from the Hub. If you are in a group and everyone is within 500 units of the Obelisk (rough estimate), you can all group teleport to the Hub once anyone in the group selects or says 'Nurizane's Crossroads'. If anyone is not with the group or has already teleported to the Hub, the remaining may not be able to teleport as a group to the hub and will have to teleport individually.
When you teleport to the hub individually, You will be randomly tossed to any one of the four Obelisk's in the Hub. If you teleport as a group, You'll all be teleported to the same randomly selected Obelisk but as individuals, you'll be scattered to any one of them.
Note, you can teleport to the Hub as a group. But you do NOT teleport to other Obelisks as a group. Everyone in the group has to teleport themselves individually. And individuals, they have to have unlocked the Obelisk to use it. So remember, make sure everyone in the group has unlocked an Obelisk before you ask them all to teleport to one. Also note, I like to tell people in my group where to go using the following format "[Section] -> [Obelisk Name]" For instance. If I want to tell everyone in my group to go to the Tegashirg shrine. I say. '/g [Clockwork] -> [Shrine of Tegashirg]' And often repeat it 2-3 times to make sure their's no confusion. So far, this has worked out very well.
Now, that should cover all the basics of using Obelisks! Their's more in part 2 of my guide that is very important you should also read. It relates to Combat and Camping Obelisk's. Note, that information can be the difference of having an enjoyable experience, or a frustrating one.
