    It has no cooldown like Return does, as it's not a separate spell. It just makes your chosen destination free to teleport to. Any time.

    I try use return as much possible because it is free and if it is on cooldown you can roll bluemage and use selfexplode so you can return anytime you want. Only useful thing bluemage have lol.

    I just set Kugane as my free teleport to use as a transfer station so everything is pretty cheap

    I haven't thought about teleport costs for years, even when I was low on gil, I never got low enough for it to become mildly restrictive. So much content right now throws gil at you that it becomes more wasteful trying to avoid teleporting. Still, some guys I know still somehow manage to regularly run around with an average of about 10k to their name after playing for 5 years. I don't know where all their gil goes.

    Setting favored locations in places you visit frequently will help a lot. I still have Horizon marked.

    For the big fees, I have Kugane set as my home location. Between that and my house in the Goblet, I can port between the sides of the planet on the cheap.

    ...And then half the time I forget about it and just pay the full price anyway, because this game has few real gil sinks and it's hard to not end up fairly rich.

    Anecdotally, gil doesn't become a problem for teleport and repair expenses Edit: at later levels due to roulettes giving quite a bit of gil.

    Aetheryte Tickets can help save gil. Any content that gives allied seals for you to buy them from your GC vendor.

    In addition to hunts, Blue Mage's Masked Carnival gives a lot of allied seals.

    The stages' one-time completion reward gives at least the equivalent of an "S" hunt in ARR (100 allied seals) on top of a gil reward. A few reward 2x. There are 25 stages altogether. The weekly challenges reward 100 + 150 + 300 allied seals. Each ticket costs 5 allied seals.

    The caveat is you have to be okay with BLU content. If you are, it's a nice side benefit to save gil / get other allied seal stuff.

    If I'm in a city and need to get back to Thanalan or nearby, I'll still take the local airship to Gold Saucer (free), and from there take the airship to Ul'dah (also free). Get to knock out a GATE if it's up, mini cactpot if it's my first travel of the day, retainer bells are pretty quickly accessible.

    Personally don't mind spending a bit of extra time traveling. Set a heading and auto pilot, gives me a few moments to tab out and check anything else in the mean time.

    I'd say for me, it's not necessarily the cost I worry about, just the number of zones it'll take to get where I'm going.

    I find that I'm always continuing to gain Gil despite freely teleporting at will. You make plenty of Gil doing pretty much anything.

    I only see your issue being a thing if you pretty much just chiil around for the social aspect, and that's it.
