Suggestion: Dedicated Portal Scroll Inventory Slot or Use from Stash

Hey GGG and fellow Exiles,


This has probably been brought up already — but if not I’d like to suggest a small but impactful quality-of-life improvement regarding Portal Scrolls.

Right now, we need to manually bring Portal Scrolls into every single map and reserve an inventory slot for them—even though their use is near-universal and mostly uninteresting from a gameplay perspective. It feels a bit outdated and unnecessary in the current state of the game.
I get that they're valuable on your first character in a league, at least during the campaign (Acts 1–10), but after that they’re pretty much redundant.

The problem I’ve run into is that during low-investment, fast mapping, I often run out of Portal Scrolls. Then, when I get whispered for a trade, I have to backtrack through the map until I find a scroll on the ground.
Sure, in high-tier mapping this is rarely an issue since the screen is flooded with loot and there’s probably a scroll nearby. But when my character isn't strong enough to run that content yet, and I just want to leave the map—to complete a trade or start a new map it really breaks the flow.

Here’s what I’d propose:

Introduce a dedicated inventory slot for Portal Scrolls, similar to the Flask slots.

Or even better: Enable the "Use Portal" shortcut to consume a scroll directly from your stash—perhaps restricted to out-of-combat status. And prioritize using scrolls from the inventory first if any are present.

To keep things "balanced": You could make this feature unlockable, e.g. after completing all map objectives, reaching a certain level, or hitting another milestone. It doesn’t have to be available right away.

The goal is simply to remove the annoying micro-management of remembering to bring Portal Scrolls into every single map. It’s such a small thing, but it adds up over time and breaks the gameplay flow unnecessarily.

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Cheers,
