Aethernet Improvements.

Am I the only one that feels like several of the Aethernets are misplaced? Seems like in every map there is areas I really wish I could just teleport to but cant. The biggest one is Vesper Bay. Several story quests lead you back here, yet the closest location is Horizon, which granted isn't that far, but its still a pain.

I wish outside maps worked just like city maps. There should be one large Crystal at a main town, and every other encampment, or point of interest should have a mini crystal that will allow inner map travel.

Lastly why the hell does it cost so much money to teleport?

Because you would level up nearly as often as you should if you could just teleport everywhere and use the aethernet everywhere. There's a reason why only the cities have the net and the outside ones don't.

I agree that you should be able to teleport to Vesper Bay and not have to choco in from Horizon every time...that gets really old fast.

Actually the devs said the absence of an Atheryte Crystal in Vesper Bay is intentional because of certain story events.

teleport cost a lot because it is needed for the gil sink

Yeah well that is another big issue in this game. The gil sink is much higher then the gil gain. Once people run out of quests and stop making gold from them the rich are just going to get richer and the poor will not have any money, and very little ways of attaining it.

yeah if you just enjoying the game and play casually, i doubt it you will have lot of gil

Bah, I like the chocobos. I prefer to use those. =)
Gives me time to stand up and stretch, or get a coke and cookies.
It's JUST two minutes to get o the place. Come on... people get butt hurt over 2 minutes? Next you guys will tell me that even teleporting is too slow and everything in the game should be instantaneous. That instead of a world to enjoy you should just have a list similar to leves, but with unique story fluff.

For those who don't know already, you can also get to Vesper Bay by ferry:
1. Go to Limsa Lominsa.
2. Aethernet to the Arcanist's Guild.
3. Walk west and take the ferry (200 gil).

Of course, if you have to teleport to Limsa and then take the ferry, then this could end up costing more gil than going to Horizon. Alternatively, like the poster above me does, you could teleport to Horizon and then take the chocobo porter.

Well, they kinda made it up from it Lore wise.
They need the Gil for something something about something to keep Aetherltes going or something.
I dunno, I think they told you when you first touched the lyte in your starter city.

tip : you can put up to 5/3 aethernet as favourite, it will make teleport cheaper to those favourite aethernet

Stop teleporting everywhere then. You're not gonna get results like that, without a cost. Start using chocobo porters, or your own chocobo, maybe even walking. If all you do is teleport, you're gonna run yourself dry. And if you think it's bad now, wait till later on, when the gil costs for teleport increase(teleporting from limsa to ul'dah goes from being that nice little 300+ gil, to over 600 gil).

Gaining money in the game isn't hard, even if playing casually. You just need to make better decisions on your selections, and the way you purchase.

It seems like you post in every topic with all the answers man. For your information I do use my own Chocobo to go places. Only time I use Porter is to run to the bathroom or something. Anyways this is a real issue, the gold sinks in this game far outweigh the gold gains. There has been many topics, especially by Legacy players. Its also a heated topic among critics as well. A simple google search will prove that to you. Even Yoshi and his crew have acknowledged the problem and their first apparent step is going to be reducing armor repair costs, followed by other various changes one by one.

They said they figured this might be an issue, but would rather boost a slow economy then try to fix an inflated one. Which makes total sense, I just wish they would get on it.

Why we need money ?? because bot like to port anywhere if gils is not there!

Improvement => Please label each crystal / shard.

I teleport everywhere, with costs between 300 and 600 gil, and still have 325,000 gil at level 30. Money is NOT hard to come by...

Oh well than what is your secret? I have never attained that much gold. I have been dabbling with the market board, but I have not found that one niche that has drastically upped my bank funds.
