my lvl 90 warrior put raz home point my lvl 10 rouge keeps going there when he dies

this is bs and you blow 1500 gil going back it should be auto were you died and zero home points

This is not a bug or a technical issue.

Your character is what Home Point is saved too, not whatever job you were or are on.
If you are leveling a new job, and you are at risk of getting killed, then change your Home Point to whatever zone you are currently questing/hunting in.
Once done in that zone, when you move to another, change your Home Point to there.
If you set a teleport point to be your Favorite, you will save a percentage of the teleport cost.
If you also protect you account with an Authentication device or app, you can also set a single Free Teleport Point for a zero cost teleport to it.

Also, if you participate in The Hunt and gain hunt Seals or get Grand Company Seals from questing or turn-ins, you can use those currencies to buy Aetheryte Tickets from the seal's supply merchant, which are used per-teleport instead of Gil.
On my end, by actively participating in The Hunt, plus many daily turn-ins at my Grand Company, I keep generally a full stack of Aetheryte Tickets (a total of 999) and I have not paid for a teleport with Gil in over 3 years.

my charters not in a clan and if you use a 90 for home point it should not be set for a lvl 1 to go there period it should be auto were you died not sent to another land im a gamer 43 years and i never saw such bs in all my life lvl 1 got to 90 spot= bs

Then you probably haven’t played any other game in your sorry kind of state 43 years of sad life

This is your second thread about it, and no one had been on your side with your so called 'issue'.


Also if you're a '43 year old gamer' you should be able to look up how things work without coming to a forum to complain about something you don't seem to understand that's taught to you when you first make your character.


TL;DR - You get ONE home point for free with a 30 min cooldown to warp to

If you're leveling up, take the game's advice and SET A HOME POINT FOR A PLACE YOU ARE ACTIVELY LEVELING IN



Sidenote: You can set favoured destinations, when you're at them, to make teleporting to a place cost 50% less.



Also for everyone wondering about his 'other thread' about the same exact issue -> https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...to-the-90-zone

Well he has a point that you should be revived at the nearest Aetheryte instead of your home point.

But the home point itself is fine and works as intended. It's basically your free "I got stuck in the terrain and can't move anymore" rescue button. Everything else is a bonus.

Didn't something bad happened if someone didn't revive you a very long time ago? I remember people actually waiting for a rez over going back to the home point, but it was so long ago I don't know if I'm misremembering or what exactly was the penalty, if there was any.

It's only at Eureka or Bozja that you get penalty of exp or mettle if you didn't get revive for 5 minutes

Yeah, but I'm talking about 2.0 or like 2.1 era... I distinctly remember people waiting for rezzes and just more people dead in random places in the map, though maybe it was a carried over tradition from other MMOs? There was (is?) and achievement for rezzing people outside of your party.

May be a Mandela effect or something lol.

Never heard that back in ARR, although there's alot of rezzing when I leveling via FATE on big boss FATE such as Gorgimera that I get Good Samaritan early :)

I may be remembering incorrectly myself, but I believe this was a thing in FFXI...you lost xp in that game if you died, and the loss was greater if you chose the respawn rather than being rezzed by someone else.

I know back in my day we had this thing called a brain. It's crazy, it lets you think you know what? I don't wanna return to a lvl90 area so I'll set a lvl1 area as my home point.

If you wanna really big brain it you'd set Old Sharlyan as your return point and set the 3 cities as your favoured so you save even more money as Sharlyan is one of the most expensive places to port.

There is the other thing were money is literally no object in this game as it has zero value so who cares about prices.

You are correct people used to wait on & ask for reses in zones more back in 2.0. A lot of 2.0 zones were slower to travel through and I think it was a cultural hang up compared to our current understand of the game. Especially since most areas only have 1 aetheryte so people didn't want to run back out.

Two suggestions.

1. Any time you switch classes...teleport to the place you want to make as your home and do that.

2. Stop dying.

Asking for individual home bases for each and every class is just nonsense.

Yeah, that makes sense.
I wasn't sure if any XP was lost or something, but everyone's pretty much confirmed that never happened, so it probably was just "the MMO thing to do". Good times.

I am sorry, i don't get the point here. Even if you are unwilling to reset your Home Aetheryte with one Job at lvl 90 1500Gil for a teleport is pocket change.

Hey! Great opportunity to learn about the benefits of two-factor authentication! Get you a security token or software authenticator and BAM you got yourself a second FREE teleport location you can set wherever you need.

Big brain is doing weekly Rank B hunt bills at a minimum for a handy supply of Aetheryte tickets so you don't pay teleport fees at all.

I don't think I've paid more than 500g for any teleport for the past 6 months. I have it set to auto-use the tickets when the cost exceeds 500g, since doing one roulette is way more than enough for that. Add to that the 18-hour ventures my retainers go on for the Silver Allagan Metals(500g each), turning 40 of those into the Doman Enclave for 40k each week, and whatever else they end up bringing back for me to sell...I don't even think about farming stuff to stay out of the red for teleporting.

To add to this, my save point is Radz, so I can get the tomestone/normal raid token vendors cheaply, and even the EW hunt bills cheaply. Also, doing the weekly deliveries is a good source to off-set any teleportation fees.
