More gloves? Contemplating a new 48 slot bag that holds only hand and foot accessories: Amelda's Closet.

Comment by Moosplauze

Do NOT sell the items rewarded by this quest! They are very helpful to get to those hard to reach treasures in Zereth Mortis, since the item gives you a teleport ability with a radius of about 8m/yards. I'd call it the poor man's venthyr teleport, but it's free and everyone can use it.
If you are interested to see how large exactly the radius is and how they work, I've created a short video to display that: https://youtu.be/pydTObI9yQo

For the gloves, the "great distance" they refer to is around 8 yards. So, in other words, a very short distance. FTFY, Blizz.

Comment by Raynecira

If you have not unlocked flying, do not use the Zereth Mortis skip as you will not be able to get these. As mentioned, these are extremely useful pre-flying. Why Blizzard would provide such a useful item early on and then allow a skip that could make a player 'regret' skipping is beyond me. Unless you have another method to get to some of the items, (warlock portal, Venthyr covenant ability, etc), you will seriously limit your ability to collect Cyphers of the First Ones without these. Blizzard should have at least made it possible to purchase these.

On a quite new character, I had to do some of the old campaign quests (2/9) until helping to free the Runecarver's arm. I got The First Move when I turned in The Weak Link and returned to Oribos.
You can talk to Highlord Bolvar Fordragon instead of Polemarch Adrestes to skip until Korthia.

When I skipped it, I immediately got Call of the Primus. Talk to Tal-Inara in Oribos to start the questline for Zereth Mortis.
She also offers a skip, I've you have done the campaign with an alt before. You'll start there with 3/7 chapters of Secrets of the First Ones and unlocked world quests.

Beware that you will miss the rewards of the first three chapters, if you skip them.
Edit: With the Hotfix for March 18th, players who skip the Zereth Mortis story will get the reputation with the Enlightened.

Campaign:
Chapter 1

Chapter 1 took about 25 minutes with itemlevel <190.

Chapter 2:

Chapter 2 took about 40 minutes with itemlevel <200.
I got several itemlevels, about 1900 rep with The Enlightened, some Anima and 12 renown so far (chapter 1 & 2).

Chapter 3:

Danger Near and Far - go to the marked area and enter the building
A Mysterious Voice - click the door, watch dialogue and kill attacking enemies
Core of the Matter - return to Haven and talk to Elder Kreth
Seeking the Unknown - enter the building at 33.63 65.78 and click the information
Finding Firim - find the NPC, click its corpse and go to the cave
Security Measures - click the Sensory Synchronizer near you. Leave the cave and reset 10 traps
Unseen Agents - kill 3 enemies
Now You May Speak - talk to Firim and click the console
Surveying Cyphers - examine the 3 concordances marked on your map. Visit the fourth location. Kill Maw-Frenzied Lupine and click the item behind him. Return to the cave
Cyphers of the First Ones - click the console again. Unlock the first option and get your Pocopoc
The Way Forward - return to Haven

Chapter 3 took about 30 minutes with itemlevel 200. It gave less rewards than the previous ones.
In total I got about 2k reputation, 15 itemlevels and 15 renown.
