/thread. I guess this turns into rage about the reward being underwhelming :) I recommend adding a security token to your account and pretending the free teleport destination from that is the 360-day reward :)

Can a mod please confirm what this does, because it sounds absolutely useless, considering it's given for being subbed for an entire year, you would think it would be something... more incredible.

"Aetheryte Ticket

Players in possession of an aetheryte ticket when using Teleport will not incur a gil fee.

This item will be consumed upon use."

So based on that description, it's a one time free teleport, saving you approximately a few hundred gil? :confused:


----------

It's possible it's like the mount whistles, it's "consumed" but then you have access to them permanently. When this is consumed, do you have free teleports permanently?

Or perhaps we're given a large stack of them to use?

Or perhaps it applies a buff like FC buffs and lasts a certain amount of time?

Again, just some clarification please as the description isn't very good :s

-----------

Post on Twitter saying it's 50 consumables. Can anyone confirm?

That better be a 1000 ticket stack they're giving!

Cmon SE! =_=

Well considering it's quite the high day item, I'm sure this means you have to pay no gil on that character anymore, ever.

I mean that's quite the reward for subbing so long.

This was my thought until they said you had to be "in possession" of the ticket to teleport for free. If it is consumed upon use, you are no longer in possession of it.

Is basically that, what is wrong with it? Ia a veteran reward it shound't be something wow just some vanity stuff.

From the JP version it sounds like it CAN be consumed, but is not consumed by teleporting...

Unless I can flash my tickets at people, it's not a vanity item!

Well really, there's nothing wrong with it. It just seems really lame for a reward for 360 days subscribed. It would even seem lame for a 30 day reward considering it's a value of a few hundred gil... Like Level 10+ quests give you that much gil as a reward.

When it says that the item is consumed on use it doesn't mean that the free teleport is only one time but that the item changes your characters teleport cost to 0 permanently and the ticket disappears from your inventory like using a Fantasia.
