Aethryte Tickets

i've noticed that this item up til now has been strictly locked too the grand company and hunt system in ARR(A Realm Reborn) and HW(Heavensward) but not continued to the newer expansions an i suppose this could be due to it being a precious resource to newer players and all that but it would also be a godsend for players at endgame as well who are more casual oriented.
an what i mean by that is players who do gathering, sightseeing, and gpose tend to travel alot to different places with in Eitherys(Hydaelyn) and i think it would be of good benefit to them. cause typically these are the bottom line who just login maybe once daily or twice a week
so my request here would to expand this item to the newer hunt vendors as well starting with Shadowbringer's hunt Clan and continueing up to the latest Tural hunter clan which all utilize the newest exchange currency "sacks of nuts"

Or just do all the Hunts and not just the most recent expansions' ones, and turn in all that junk gear your retainers bring back at your Grand Company. You'll soon have enough currency for aetheryte tokens.

It's because the hunt currencies from ARR, HW, and StB are obsolete yet still obtainable while the hunts are something you can frequently do (and have achievements tied behind them). Bear in mind that the gil cost of teleports is an anti-inflation measure in the game so the devs will likely never make aetherite tickets something that's any easier to obtain than they already are. Free teleports can be seen as an incentive to do the older, less frequently farmed content.

Here's what I do to get Aetheryte Tickets:

Pickup my weekly ARR hunt bill.
Pickup my weekly HW hunt bill.
Pickup my weekly SB hunt bill.

Kill them, then spend at my Grand Company and at Foundation for more than enough Aetheryte Tickets for the week. It's only not enough if you're actually teleporting a lot which is usually due to hunting a lot (ie. farming hunt trains or S ranks) in which case you will probably need to get a bunch of ARR, HW or SB S ranks or do SB hunt trains.

It would be nice if they could be got with Sacks of Nuts but it's not like we can't get them with the older currencies.

Honestly I think a huge QoL to this would simply make the hunt UI we have actually contain hunt related content, like this.. and then let us refresh our log without having to visit every dang city lol. Make it cost a venture token if you want (to refresh hunts in your list without needing to visit the city). Although my 'immersive gameplay' side of me would say, add that dang moogle flute I asked for in 1.0 and then unlock the feature to refresh each expansion's list by spending that expansion's hunt currency to provide your flute moogle an upgrade.

Also you can do BLU content for some easy teleport tickets, if you need them ASAP.

If you do weekly Masked Carnival challenges with BLU, you'll have more Aetheryte Tickets than you'll know what to do with and if you are max level with a near completed spellbook, it'll be quick and easy.

there is too much gil in the game so it needs gil sinks... its a microtransaction... yes we have that in ff14 too

You can casually stock up on Tickets with Blue Mage. It's insane. I haven't done them since DT launched and I still have 1600.

thank you all for the replies and suggestions but to my main point i'm just asking the devs if they could add them to the other hunt clan vendors as well ^^ i don't think thats an unreasonable demand to make.
and i am aware they are trying to reduce the amount of gil players have saved up but as in my original post i'm not referring to players that are able to sink hours into the game but rather players who can't fully commit to things like hunt trains, all of blue mage content (its fun stuff don't get me wrong but trying to find parties for it can be difficult at times.) and be able to max out every crafter to make big bucks etc.

If you think it takes a long time and parties to get Blue Mage to the point where you can complete the weekly challenges, you either haven't actually tried it or you aren't doing it right.

You don't need hours. You need like one friend and a bit of time to power level to 50, or a little longer to 70, then to run you through a couple duties to get a couple spells.

Now if you don't have one friend, then it could take hours upon hours, yeah.

but thats the thing though, in order to receive full credit for the bluemage log rewards you need to have a full party of bluemages which not alot of people are interested in an its mainly due to the job being locked out of doing regular duties cause of the perceived notion they can be this mega solo master but i've yet to see people showcase that is the case why is that? plus the devs themselves haven't updated its kit in a very long time some of their abilities are still stuck at the numbers they were at since bluemage's inception which makes them unviable to use in newly added duties to the log toppled with the fact the tank stance which SHOULD be the thing that makes them almost near invincible completely nerfs their damage output making their "blue content" take even longer to do or complete when "solo" which is a negative to my main point of players who just don't have that kind of time to spare or commit too.

... ... ...I'm talking about the weekly challenges in the Masked Carnival. Completely solo, no team needed. Get all 3 done and that's 110 Aetheryte tickets a week. It's like, 15 minutes work, at worst.

Healer mimic(healing potency +20%, enhancements on most heals) + Mighty Guard(40% damage reduction) + Basic Instinct(no damage penalty to guard, 30% run speed boost, healing and damage +100%) = You can solo many group things. With that set of buffs gobshield lasts a few hits and pom cure becomes a stupidly powerful heal. And you still have diamondback for when an immune would be called for, you can still vibe check(rams voice + ultravibration to insta-kill packs every couple mins), and you can still set up for big final stings if you like.

But yeah, like RaideDuku said - the people mentioning BLU for aetheryte tickets are mostly referring to the weekly carnivale bonuses. Its 3 stages, two of them with extra requirements, and a boatload of poetics gil and allied seals for completion.

There is no need to sink hours or to join hunt trains.

It takes about 10 minutes per week to kill the weekly B rank in HW and SB: that alone is 40 tickets. You can add the ARR B rank too for another 20 tickets and it’s accessible solo at level 50.

Also, there is another currency that allows one to teleport directly to their GC if they are low on hunt tickets: the GC aetheryte ticket which is sold by the GC vendor. Turn in dungeon loot, buy tickets. It’s not for everywhere but practical to go to a main city.

For blue mage: stick to the low level challenges for minimal effort. No team or anything fancy needed. This week killing challenge 2 with 6 elemental spells but less than 10 different spells got me 300 seals. There was no fancy spell needed and all were easily acquirable solo.

i always viewed healer mimic as high risk cause it consumes just as much mp as dps, tho correct me if i am wrong but mighty guard is a dps loss no?`like i know its damage mitigation but it has the added effect of fixing how much dps you inflict
as for ultra instinct last time i tried it wouldn't allow me to use it for the carnival but said it can only function for dungeons has this changed in a recent patch that i am unaware of???
but i do have all the mitigation spells including the ones with counters an i do know the instant kill for mobs but far as the carnival goes which is from my viewpoint here is what everyone is telling me to do is heavily reliant on gimmicks you have to solve within a time limit thus putting stress on players to perform optimally or within a drastic way an without knowing said fights or gimmicks causes time to be lost which could have easily been better used on hunts or like fates etc.

Then use the Jeeqbit solution, it last 15/20 min a week, and 60 Aetheryte tickets are more than enough for a week, unless you TP anormally often (I mean I slowly stocked until 999 tickets by doing mainly that).

Sure it would be good you could buy them with new currencies, but pretending it takes too long to get Aetherytes tickets is just false.

i appreciate this comment thank you maybe i will see if any trains then have room in these next few days for a super casual lol :) tho wouldn't be a bit more efficient to save up a bunch of tickets tho rather then going thru them in a week by week basis? i do have some nice friends who taxi me around though when they are available or i ask a fc member if any are online but i do have very little gil trying to save up to level a craft so i can get more gil like others >w<

The B-Ranks are solo btw. No trains needed: just go to Kugane, pick up the lvl 70 weekly, do the same thing in Foundation. You can also pickup the other hunt bills in case you come across other mobs (lvl 3 give 15 seals each and they are repeatable daily). I use the FFXIVhunt.com site to point me at all the possible locations and it's 10 mins max.

i'm sorry i didn't mean to sound like it took too long i just felt like it didn't make too much sense why it wasn't continued to the hunts for further expansions is all they kinda left it hanging at stormblood. :/ always saving up as much as i can get of them from doing the slower easier hunts weekly or daily etc. did try the carnival stuff but it was just eating up too much of my concentration an what little time i do have to play etc trying to figure out how every fight works an what spells i have to have its why i said casual player and not those who are leagues ahead..

The B-rank hunts doesn't require a train, help, or a taxi.
B-ranks are slightly stronger than normal monsters, but are easily solo'd even by a job slightly under the monster's level. They are also non-aggressive monsters, so they don't you attack you unless you attack them first.
As you will be doing L50, L60, and L70 B-ranks, your L80 WAR job will be able to one-shot the L50 and nearly one-shot the L60, and kill the L70 in a few wacks.
Basically, you will be killing only 3 monsters.

For the ARR, HW, and SB weekly B-Rank marks, you visit the three exspansion's respective The Hunt NPC's Mark board, get the Mark Bill for that weeks B-Rank, then go to the zone that B-Rank is in and fly around till you find it.
The expansions after SB use a different hunt currency than the seals from the earlier expansions, of which doesn't have a way to use that currency for Aethryte Tickets, so if Aethryte Tickets are your only concern, you can skip them.
Clicking the Mark bill you can get the mark's name and open the map to it's zone.
You can fly around "aimlessly" in the zone and use your hunting "sense" to triangulate the B-ranks' location or use one of the many published online zone maps that pin all of the B-rank's spawn locations and then just fly near each one.
Also, a B-rank will respawn about 5 seconds after it is killed on one of it's spawn points randomly, so if someone else is killing the B-Rank, you do not have to wait for hours/days for it to respawn.

Killing the B-rank on the Mark Bill for the week will reward you 5000 gil (more than pays for the teleport to the mark board and the zone the b-rank is in) and 100 seals automatically (no need to go and turn in), so in total you will get 15000 gil and 300 seals.
For every 100 seals you get from each kill, you can buy 20 Aethryte Tickets, so you can earn 60 a week for 10~15 minutes total of work.
You buy the Aethryte Tickets for seals from the Hunt merchant's that are near the mark boards.
You can also do the other daily Hunt Bills, the Regular marks, but they do require more zone hopping for less reward, however you will still profit in both gil and seals.

Hunt Trains are player organized events that are normally ran every 3~6 hours, every day, were a group of The Hunt players will go out and "map" the location of a given expansion's currently spawned A-Rank elite marks, then organize a time and place to gather, party up, and then go to each mark in sequence to kill them. The primary reason for these events is to quickly earn Tombstones, however you do also earn The Hunt seals/currency, and items you can exchange for Materia.
If you wish to participate in a Hunt Train, it is best that you have maxed out your character's job for the expansion and have unlocked the Tombstone merchants, so you can use the rewards you get. It's also helpful to join a player made Linkshell that is for The Hunt activities, so you will get notified on Train locations/times, plus find out about S and SS-rank spawns as that happen (much higher rewards of seals/currency/Tombstones)
There is no gil reward for killing a B-rank outside of it being on a Hunt Mark Bill you have, an A-Rank, or a S or SS-rank. The only rewards are hunt currency and tombstones (except for a non-Bill Mark B-rank, there is no rewards or drops, however they do count for B-Rank Achievements and in some case are useful in The Hunt players determining where an S-Rank may spawn)
Also, there are no EXP gains for killing B, A, S or SS-rank marks, so just use whichever job you have that is currently you highest or maxed. The only EXP you can gain from The Hunt are for the Mark Bills.

sorry had to cut off the bigger portion to be able to reply back but thank you for your insight and advice this was very informative appreciate this :D

i do hope that eventually though they do add this item too the other hunt vendors at some point or time or maybe even to that moogle trove event? i notice they added the gold saucer tickets and the riding maps there here's to hoping it really is a very helpful item to players like me who lack sufficient gils to level up other jobs/disciples ^_^

You had mentioned not being able to solo instances/feeling too weak. The combo i mentioned was for those. Basic Instinct is usable only in situations where the game expects you to have a group, but you are alone(solo que or last survivor basically). So not for the carnivale. At this point, it couldnt hurt to explain the carnivale weekly challenges a little. The "blue" rank only requires you to win the fight. No special requirements, just "do this fight for extra reward". The "silver" rank adds one requirement. It *might* be "win within a time limit", but it could just as easily be something else. Win without healing, win using only fire spells, win using only low level spells. Those type of conditions. Then the "gold" rank has you win with two or three special rules. Again, sometimes this is a time limit but sometimes it isnt. If a combo is too tricky, you can always skip it and just do the easier ones.

I've got over a thousand tickets just from doing blue weeklies every couple of months.

It would beat the prisms by a huge margin in value. A perfect single tomestone dump purchase.

Outside of that, even though nuts are still current expac, they are already mostly obsolete. Being able to by tickets here again will help as a single DT train gives a lot of these.

I wish they added Aetheryte Tickets to the Sack of Nuts vendors just for the fact that I don't have many places to use them. Once I get the mounts and stuff, there's only materia to spend them on, but it's not like you need lots of them for anything. Once you properly materialized your gear, then Nut of Sacks is basically useless.


I mean, you could trade for gear and then desynth or drop into the grand company to convert into seals to use to buy ventures but look at the work that you have to do. If they added ventures and tickets in there, it would save me a lot of time. :P
