[Dev Request] Please Don't Make Teleporting Too Expensive Beyond Eorzea.

[Lukha]

Teleports should cost as much as they need to in order to keep the aetherytes well-maintained. you wouldn't want to accidentally splinch yourself because you wanted to be cheap so they had to cut costs on upkeep, now would you?

Also this game kinda needs the gilsink.

I honestly don't even know what the point of charging gil for teleports is. The amount is so miniscule it's pretty much pointless.

Apply numerous uses a day per player, many players, over a function of time and bam you're looking at some very big numbers :P

Add that in with other systems like repairing and taxes, you found a "hidden" maelstrom of Gil.

Gilsink, something that is VERY important to reduce inflation on the MB.

I now have sadistic thoughts of the devs implementing an option for you to teleport without paying gil, but you also have a 50% chance of being dumped in the middle of freaking nowhere as a result.

Well.. people are always saying gil is useless.

Or at the very least make the prices reset in non Eorzea areas. I.e. Teleporting from Gridania to Uldah is comparable to teleporting from Kugane to Doma.

Is that not how it already works? I haven't gotten up to HW content myself to see, but costs always seem to be related to distance. If the distance is comparable, presumably the cost will be as well. Which also means traveling from one end of the map (Limsa) to the other (Doma or whatever) will be pricey.

There is one way they could somewhat mitigate this, which is to just make this the edge of the world, or, in other words, have it wrap around, so that La Noseca is just a boat ride away from Othard. Lore-wise, it might be tricky to explain why you haven't been able to travel there before, maybe. But it could serve to reduce the costs if travel distance is shortened that way.

Start stocking up on aetheryte tickets- centurio and allied seals from hunts.

*Accodently teleports to Doma from Limsa carelessly*
- 100,000 gils

[Zojha]

What is the highest cost to teleport some where anyway?

Around 700 gil I think. It's not a terrible lot, the market board can destroy more money in a single purchase than you would by regularly porting around for hunts over a week.
