What does this effect signify?

It's been going on for a long time and I'm fairly sure it isn't any of my scrolls.

Haha xD It's because you're assigned academy master.

O_o

Definitely not something I'd expect to have an effect go with.

Well, I'm the guild master as well so..
(while I'm at it, which guild member ranks can access the storage, and which can invite new members?

Nope it's only academy master that gets the glow... I think... oh wait. -thinks- No no, don't count me on it. Maybe you get glow for being both.

Only guild master can take stuff out of storage, but guild members (all ranks) can put stuff in.

Guild masters and admins can invite members.

The rest of the ranks doesn't mean much at the moment.

Alright, good to know I can appoint admins and they won't be able to steal all the materials I'm saving up in the storage. :P

One last slightly-off-topic question before I shut up: what are the restrictions on the Academy's "warp-to-member" function? Can I use it from a place I can't return scroll out of (e.g. Abyss)?

Ummm... you can't warp into KQ, you can't warp into an abyss that's not in your level range (should work if it's an abyss you can get into normally). Ermm... that's all I can think of so far! xD

But otherwise there aren't any limits on how often I can use it? o_o

None. You can use it as many times as you want.

I was in Forest Perimeter the other day, and an academy member of some guild was on a fast rider running around in large-ish circles. Then this other girl kept spawning every second in slightly different spots. Turned out she kept spamming that warp thingy to the academy member on the rider, lol.

That is simultaneously hilarious and incredibly awesome.

I suppose I'll join the academy on my vendor and use that to teleport back to town for free. >_>

Thanks so much for your replies. Not many people are both patient and helpful at the early hours of the morning.

edit: either there's a level requirement for the teleport function or it requires academy points, because I'm unable to teleport to my.. academees?

edit 2: apparently you can't teleport to them if they're in a town.. a level 3 got his hands on an Elderine scroll somehow and I had to go save him

Oh D: I'm not sure about level requirements then ><" Maybe someone who's an academy master will help you out on that (I r not one).
