They were originally going to be more then 999 gil so they already lowered them for us doing hunts you get tons of allied seals I have over 2k free teleports at the moment

Non aetherial wheel FC buff brings it down by 30% to 699 for price capped ones if you have fc buffs to use.

Could be worse, could be paying more as it seems to max at 999. But I doubt they'll lower it so if you're going to jump back to an isle to Eorzea take a boat or airship.

I mean, you do kind of travel from one side of the continent to another, so naturally the cost will be substantial.
You can always ask for a TP cost reduction buff from the FC, or use aetherite tickets. Still got 100 of em from promos.

Set your home point to Rhalgr's Reach or Kugane, and then use the Free Destination on the other one. Those two points are going to be the ones you teleport to the most for a lot of things, and teleporting to either will cut the cost of the outlying areas by a huge amount.

This game needs more gil sinks.

You're literally teleporting to another continenet.

What did you expect

Or you know, boats, ferries, hop to apartment or fc house then go where you want. There are ways around it. I think it's fine. :/

Yoshi-p already mentioned this a couple of months ago:

GameWatch: When looking at the map, the continent that will be implemented in 4.0 has much more surface area than Aldenard. Does that mean that the combined surface area of all the newly implemented areas will be comparable to the surface area of Ishgard and ARR areas combined? Also, will we freely be able to teleport between the continents?

Yoshida: The combined surface area will be about the same as that of Heavensward, but there will be diving and swimming and there are still unannounced areas, so the scale is quite big. And of course, you’ll be able to teleport. But, watch out for the teleport costs… (laugh)

Yes, it sucks, but it's not *that* much either. We got plenty of ways to make gil even if you're not a crafter.

Funnily enough I think teleports/repairs should be more expensive. So much money in the economy because there isn't much of a sink. Imagine if those tank bonuses for queues could actually buy you something worth a damn BEFORE running it 100 times.

I actually view the cost as a convenience cost anyway since you can travel my land and sea, or air to most places for much less, but at the cost of time. The limit of 999gil even caps the cost.

You actually forgot to mention that they made it so Housing Teleports are "Super Favored" and are capped at 249gil. So if you want to get back and forth cheaply, Use your FC house teleport and run to town. Get a friend with a house in a zone your house isn't. Makes things much cheaper. Buy tele'ing to your house and then out, you will shed less than 499 on most tele's even without Favored.
