An aether-what?

[Psun]

I'd like to see some NPCs that could use Aetherytes. Would be cool to have a couple that randomly ported around doing duties. Surely there is an adventurer NPC that can do this, we can't be the only ones?

During the main storyline

Y'shtola uses a beastmen-made aetheryte system to access Titan - after the fight she also clearly disappears via Teleport as well.

Not to mention there's a FATE in Eastern La Noscea involving a merchant who lost his chocobo, and for some reason at the end the frightened man shouts "Return!" or something, before disappearing.

Also it should be mentioned during the original 1.0 storyline during one of the Path of the Twelve story quests the player's Path Companion appeared out of an original-style aetheryte (Gridania's original one) too - they were shown just kind of appearing from out of thin air, with a slight shimmering effect at ground level when they appear.

Anyway, thanks for this info dump Camate - hopefully this should now put all those old threads about 'why do we pay gil to teleport/where does the money go?' finally to rest.

Oh maybe I hadn't made it that far.. or I don't recall it. Sweet!

So maybe instead of Tele-port it should be called Toll-a-port.

/carefully files this information away

I was considering the implications for use of an aetheryte network in military tactics a while back. This puts a new spin on things. (Erik would be proud?)

I was actually just theorizing the other day with my RP linkshell how it makes sense for gil to vanish upon teleportation, thank you for the clarification!

So...

Where did we dig these up? Mor Dhona?

And what about the beastmen? They just stole or salvaged the old ones? But how are they reversed in transportation magic to begin with?

My understanding is that they need to make crystallized ether you need a lot of magical understanding to make ether into a crystal form. Beastmen have the magic to summon there primal and they also use a lot of crystal like fire and such to summon there primal. So i'm guessing they also understand how to make the crystallized ether.
