Teleport prices are too exensive

Honestly, I think the teleport costs should be able to breach beyond 999 gil.

In the grand scheme of things, 999 gil really is not that much. i have a steady total of approximately 3~3.5 million gil, and that's considered as "little" by a significant part of the playerbase! And just look at the amount of gil people who actually bother to use their crafting and gathering classes are making. Hell, I don't use gathering and crafting professions at all, I get my gil exclusively from drops, roulettes and putting random junk I find on the marketplace, and still these prices of 999 gil per teleport are not making me any poorer.

Not to mention, it's a good way to at least try and regulate inflation a little bit. There isn't really a lot of things you can spend gil on in this game, except for raid consumables and maybe very rarely a pet or a mount. But that's about it. You can get anything else practically for free, through grinding, or through currencies that are not gil.

Send your retainers on the 18hour ventures. At level 60 they come back with 6 of the 500gil Allagan items. At 70, they can come back with 7 of them. If that isn't enough to cover your teleport costs, then sell whatever you find during dungeons/hunts(another source of gil) on the MB. Look at what they are selling for currently, and sell what you have around that amount. It really isn't hard to get gil in this game(and I don't craft/gather much aside from getting my daily Gazelle Skin map).

Beats paying 5k for a Teleport-Mea

Wow, no. The reason why there is a shortage is because on most servers the player population is immensely significantly higher than the amount of houses. On most servers the amount of fcs is far higher than the amount of houses.

Additionally most people who have been playing for many years have enough to buy a house simply because they have had more time to accumulate gil and more time to lvl up crafters/gatherers to bring in even more gil.

Really I'd rather we have all plots full because players can afford them, than have a load of empty plots because the housing cost is too unrealistic for most players to achieve.

As for teleport fees, if spending a few thousand a day on teleports is too much at lvl 70 then you need to reexamine your income because that shouldn't be happening. You don't even need to lvl up crafting/gathering to fund it. Having combat class retainers fetch you items and then sell them is more than enough to support teleporting.

I dont want to be rude or something.. but how can one fully experience player with lv 70 class thinks teleporting is expensive? 999 gils is mega cheap lmao. Do a leveling roulette as tank/hlr get cluster and sell it for 100k. Easy peasy.

It's hard for me to complain about the teleporting prices in this game when i can so vividly remember the teleporting system and prices in XI.

Let's maybe be glad we don't have to rely on other people for teleporting and that its handled via an in game system (for much cheaper, i might add).

Agreed, and of course, people could buy Aetheryte tickets with seals...

Even just the completion of the roulette gives you a bunch of gil. Pretty sure every roulette gives some as a reward for finishing it too.

I have the three city-states as favorite, Ishgard as the free teleport to bounce to that expansion's zones (an example is simply jumping to Ishgard immediately drops Idyllshire to 400), and Kugane as home point to cover Stormblood on top of fc and apartment teleport to Lavender Beds. Without tickets I can easily use Ishgard as the price adjuster for other areas not even related to HW if I'm feeling lazy to pick up more tickets
