I almost never use it. Even to get to and from Limsa I'll often use the Airship or Ferry. I mainly only use it if I'm trying to get to a sanctuary to log off because I'm running late getting somewhere. Like work. Mostly I use a mount to get from A to B. And I'll jump off and do any FATE I come across. I also try to get all my gear from quests, dungeons and GC. I farm all my own materials for crafting. I'm basically stockpiling gil.
