Lower cooldown on Eternity Ring?

Hello :) I was wondering devs, if possible if we could shorten the cool down on the Eternity Ring? Or possibly abolish it. 10-15 mins would be good if you don't want to abolish it, but I think its unfair how with the friendship teleport it has no cool down, but our rings have a 30 min cool down.

Husband and wife is more closer then friendship so one would think it would supersede the need to be instant teleport.

30min just seems a bit excessively long imho. ^^;

I cant remember but isnt the 1 for "friendship" limited like it only lasted 1 month or something?

The limit on it I do believe (I have it, and nv have used it lol.) is that it has to be with a new person (leaf on their name) on your friendlist. Correct me if I'm wrong though, but I don't think it just lasts for 1 month, just as long as your friend still has the new adventurer symbol on their name.

Yup, it's just a free teleport to the nearest aethyryte.

Oh then yeah once thats gone they cant teleport anymore whereas with the ring it's permanent so i can see why it has a cd, but that cd is fine idk why you would need to use it more then once per 30mins.

Why is there even a CD on the teleport? What purpose does that even serve?

Squenix: "We can't let them teleport to their spouse's side more than once every 30 minutes or game balance will be DESTROYED!!"
Players: "??????"

it's pretty broken in general as it is, doesn't need changed.

if you married someone you don't play with regularly, you didn't think things through beyond "zomg mount and a dress".

and if you think it doesn't serve a purpose, think about gathering nodes, hunts, etc. i use mine every time it's up and cheese normally what are obnoxious node timers or long runs. if i could do that without a cooldown, i can only imagine the amount of crap my wife and i could pile up.

It's not that long of a cool down, and yes there is an element of balancing. Same as "Return's" 15 Minute cool down timer.



Took 20 hours for this one to refresh;

These Eternal Bondage rings have become extremely handy in helping each other out. I'll teleport to my wife when she arrives at a random S Rank for credit. Or she'll teleport to me when I arrive at a Gathering node. The only limit besides the 30min timer is that you can't teleport to your partner when they are inside a player / FC house. I would love to see the limit abolished or set to 5 minutes <3 (just so you can't spam the person.)

Just wanna add, the friendship one also only warped you to the nearest aetheryte crystal the said friend was at (so if they were at highbridge, it dropped you at Drybone). Marriage warp drops you literally beside your partner. Big difference there. 30min cooldown for that is fine when you consider things like helping with fates, or A/S rank hunts etc.

I agree with OP.
I think the CD from the wedding bands is too long.
Then again, I also think the CD for Return is too long as well. D=

idk what happened with my friendship teleport... i used it and nothing happened. and the crystal was consumed from my inventory. pretty fucked.

well if your spouse didn't online, you can spam use it without have cd :) but yeah i don't know what's the reason we have 30 min cd

That's meant to happen.

You then right click their names on your friends-list "Teleport to nearest aethryte". ONLY when they have the green-leaf symbol. (They loose it eventually)

Maybe they can remove the cooldown if they change the ring a bit.
Put 100 Anima on the ring. Each teleport will consume 5 Anima and every hour 2 Anima get recovered.
This way the cooldown could be removed.

Anima you say?

How would one fit this monstrosity onto a ring exactly? :p


(sorry I couldn't resist, every time someone says "Anima" that unholy abomination from Final Fantasy 10 is the first thing that pops to mind)

Anima was also the currency used for teleporting in 1.0.
And honestly, it's not a terrible idea when you think about it. At least for the rings.

Ooh I remember anima, haha. At this point..anything, as long as they lower the cool down ^^; I didn't mind the anima all that much, and also in 1.0 I remember we could teleport to nodes from the main crystals. XD

Honestly I can sortof see where they could say that I was just telling my in game spouse that if there was no CD I would station him at my leve turn ins and get to 50 on crafters just as fast as I could craft the items and I do them all ahead of time lol
