Ul'dah Market Board Aethernet

Limsa Lominsa being the perfect hub for the market, since the market board is exactly next to the main city aetheryte.
Gridania, it take 2 steps teleportation into the main aetheryte then taking the Leatherworker's Aethernet that is next to the market board.
Ul'dah, in order to go to the market board the fastest way, one has to go through through 2 teleportation and a zone. By zoning into the main aetheryte then taking the Adventurers Guild's Aethernet then having to zone into Steps of Thal.

What I'm suggesting is to add an Aethernet in Ul'dah that is relatively close to the market board that will reduce the amount of time to reach the board and serves other purposes.

The best position that will meet these requirement is to place the Aethernet in Steps of Thal (12,10) that is close to the market board and cover the upper side of Steps of Thal that has no Aethernet close by and is also close to the Husting Strips that can help into reaching the upper side of Steps of Thal.

Or just teleport to Limsa Lominsa

But that's 400+ Gil wasted because my city was poorly designed!

That's not a solution, thats simply accepting a bad design that favor other cities while turning others into a ghost town. 1.0 had the same issue where going into the AH in cities other than Ul'dah took so much time thus turning them into a ghost town.

I can back this, I very rarely frequent Ul Dahl only when it's necessary. To me because of its poor design and the fact that I'm not a desert person, it's just the city of dirt ... Ok maybe that's too far, but it's a total screw around to move around that place, for me the only incentive to go there outside of questing is the jeweller that sells lvl 29 gear. Grid is my home because it resonates with me and Limsa is also pretty great for its design and theme.

Also agree due to MB placement and aetheryte I barely go to ul'dah unless it's for a quest.
Limsa instant access gridania just click aetheryte and port to LW guild, ul'dah port to adventure guild and run thru zone, or go to weave guild and run.
A simple aetheryte in that square where the chest and MB are would make ul'dah come alive
Also to add Blacksmith and armorer guild should have an aetheryte too since their the only guild in game that does not

FYI - Ul'dah is the perfect hub for the GC headquarter. ^^;

No offense but it seems ppl are just getting lazy. Be glad it isn't just Cnj/Whm that has the ability to port, or Thaum/Blm the ability to return (warp). You have aetherytes every where and the ability to port between them. IE: port to adventurers guild then zone into markets....

Ul'dah is really poorly design, hell confusing even now lol.

That Ul'dah main aetheryte would be a great place to put some market boards, put em circling around the walls there...

I agree VERY much. It does not make sense from a lore standpoint either. Ul'dah is supposed to be home to a bunch of merchants, traders, and businessmen. You would think their first priority would be to be able to teleport quickly to a market board. Yet they are the furthest from it by any route taken.

Ul'dah has the fastest access to GC HQ,
It means the fastest FC chest, purchase FC actions, process daily GC provision mission, spending GC seals,
and now it even became the fastest hunting board and allied seal npc.

IMO 3 countries are well balanced. Why not set your HP or free Teleport at Limsa if you need the fastest MB? ^^;

when u spend millions of gil on mb's, going to the mb where the retainer is posted saves you 5%. it adds up pretty fast at 50k/M spent and is worth the travel time. ul'dah is annoying and i avoid purchasing from retainers stationed there whenever possible.

Limsa MB is right by the aetheryte, i set my FC house in gridania right beside the MB there. hopefully when individual housing comes i will be able to put my house beside an Ul'dah MB.

It's really that hard to hold a button or joystick for a couple extra seconds? I'll admit the city lay out sucks, but its not really that far of a walk from the adventurers guild.

Suggest you teleport to the weaver guild, then run to the nearest MB directly without the extra zone, this route should be much faster. ^^

Gridania is exactly the same as Ul'dah when it comes to GC, even using a stopwatch to test it.
Limsa Lominsa is one aethernet extra that is exactly next to the GC, that adds only extra 10sec (up to 20sec using the worst PC loading)

It's not about being hard or not. I'm talking about it from the design wise perspective of the cities.

Maybe Ul'dah and Gridania takes similar time to the MB,
if teleport to the weaver guild, then run to the nearest MB directly? ^^;

I tested and found Ul'dah is significantly faster to the GC npc than Gridania,
go out from teleport room, turn right asap then jump on the plant then jump into the GC ^^;

Dude, it's 30 seconds. Port, turn left, sprint....

First world problems. Sheesh.

Redesign the city so you can get to the MB 20 seconds faster?? LOOLLLL

It's frustrating, indeed, however the Al'mighty city of Ul'dah will soon open the Golden Saucer. We will have ours!

This ^^^

This thread surprised me of how many people are still going to the Adventurer's Guild. I figured everybody would be using the Weaver's Aetheryte once it was found out to be the quickest method.

There may be a thread detection error for many adventurers, so that's probably why they avoid huge thread areas like the Weaver's Guild. Besides, Redolent Rose might judge their lack of fashion sense.

Going to the main Aetherite, then walking up past the archers guild is pretty much the same, and I actually prefer that over using the mini aetherite.
