Aetheryte

I think it would be cool if they put an aetheryte right here so that its easy to get to the Ixali beast tribes and to Hyrstmill for anyone doing Ixali Beast tribes or old relic weapons.

Aetherytes go in towns. If they added a new one it would make far more sense (in-world) to put it in Hystmill itself, to warp safely to the town, rather than into the middle of the woods. (Very small woods, admittedly, but still not safe to the average person.)

Would be super nice to have an Aether somewhere in that area. It's a long, rather inconvenient trek to Hyrstmill and the Ixali as things are.

Not until we get one in the Hinterlands. Having 2 load screens to get there is awful.

First, we need more than one in Azys Lla, not have only TWO aetherytes relatively close to each other and on the same side of the map in the Sea of Clouds, and another on the eastern side of The Churning Mists as well.

Just going to throw Whitebrim in.

I'd take Whitebrim and Hinterlands over North Shroud any day

Hinterlands before anywhere else please.

No other area needs an Aetheryte as much as the Hinterlands.

It's a very quick trek to the Ixali from Fallgourd Float already.

If you don't have the second mount speed increase in that area you should also look into getting it, the trips to the Ixal/Drake are super fast with it.

Not really needed. The Ixali are just a step away from Fallgourd and you can go through their area to get over to Hyrstmill easily.

How about an Aetheryte in Coerthas Central so I can stop doing the 500 mile dash to the Observatorium every time I level Dragoon?

AETHERYTES

AETHERYTES EVERYWHERE

But seriously, I'm all for some more strategically placed Aetherytes for gathering/crafting purposes.

We need less teleporting, not more!

Why, though? Do you honestly gain some enjoyment from running/flying through the same scenery you see every day? If you do, go ahead and do it yourself. Most people don't. We'll take the teleports.

This is always my thought with people like that. Why inconvenience the whole playerbase because you alone can't restrain yourself from using the teleport if it's there? Just run if you feel that's the way it should be.

You can have too much of a good thing. I don't think North Shroud is big enough to require a 2nd Aetheryte. With 2-star speed it doesn't even take 20 seconds to run to the Ixali from Fallgourd and it takes about another 20 seconds to reach Hyrstmill from there. Have we really reached the point where we're asking for another Aetheryte to save us having to run for ~40 seconds? There are most certainly several zones that would benefit from having a 2nd stone somewhere, but I don't think N.Shroud is one of them.

PS: I thought the character limit was increased to 3000? But here I am getting digged for having 1007 characters. What gives, SE?

Yeah, I've never really thought North Shroud needed it really, especially after the mount speed increase. Other than CCH I think all the ARR zones are good on aetherytes. Also, I don't think the character increase is actually live.

Id rather have other ways of dealing with transportation instead of just quick teleports. But the player base of this game cant handle anything that takes time so its a lost cause.

Good for you. I have hundreds of free teleports, and it takes me half the time to get where I'm going /shrug. Doesn't change the fact that you want everyone to conform to YOUR gameplay style, instead of allowing other people to have what they want and you just run anyways. This would impact you exactly zero, but you can't be satisfied with other people having what they want.

Alternatively, I would be onboard with them adding flying to the old zones, as this would solve any issues with the aetherytes in 2.0 areas as they aren't that large. But afaik, they said they aren't doing that, so aetherytes are the next best thing.

Going to throw my hat into the "less is best".

It's not an opposition to there being more per se, but that the overworld is basically unimportant by having too many of them, and I'd rather they remove all but the ones that go into the center of towns, and either have players utilize the chocobo taxi's or their own mounts to get everywhere else.

The ARR areas are small enough, they don't need more than one.

There's also a lore reason why there's none in The Dravanian Hinterlands. They're smashed.

Likewise in the Yanxia area, "The House of the Fierce" is also initially broken.

North Shroud is too smale for 2 Aetherites

Nobody need to do it self.
Go to the Rent-A-Chocobo NPC, choose your destiny and make yourself something to eat during the time.

Perhaps then, after completing a certain point in the HW MSQ, a sidequest could be added in which you repair one of the aetherytes in the Hinterlands, to then gain access to it? Like how Yanxia's HOTF is unusable until you repair it via MSQ. Lore-wise, we now have a reason to fix it. Outside of that though, again, less is more, I agree. I would also go as far as to say the Azim Steppe has too many aetherytes. Honestly, Reunion (being the central trade hub) would have been enough.

Reunion and Namazu for sure. it's only a shor c.10s flight from Reunion to Dawn Throne.
CCH for sure, if anything I'd say scrap CD and go for Observatorium and Whitebrim. Both have Levemetes and both are used in quests and MSQ quite a bit. CD...once that portion of MSQ is done with I really find no reason to be there, I only teleport in then head off to Obser..or Whitebrim usually.

north shroud does not need another one.even on 1 star mount its only a few seconds to ixali, probably do-able in a sprint...maybe falling a bit short but not much for sure. As for Hrystmill, I see no reason why you should be going from FF to hrystmill by foot anyway, if you'e doing Relic or quests you're probably going to be mounted anyway and so it's only a few moments rom FF.
