Firmament QoL desperately needed in Patch 5.3

[Caimie_Tsukino]

The Firmament is a place where crafters very frequently visit. At the moment, it is extremely inconvenient, and some QoL improvements are necessary there:

(1) We need better ways to enter and exit the Firmament. Having the Foundation main aetheryte as the only entrance, and a gate that exits to the Brume where it is far away from any aethernet shard is simply terrible. AN AETHERNET SHARD SHOULD BE PLACED IN THE FIRMAMENT, allowing the Firmament to be easily access from anywhere in Ishgard.

(2) Firmament Aetheryte Ticket to teleport into the Firmament should NOT cost 500 skybuilder's scrips. Seriously, how many tickets have the NPC ever sold??? Any reasonable person would not bother to purchase these. This was a clearly a mistake. It should cost 2-5 tickets instead of 500.

(3) A marketboard and a Company Chest are recommended to be placed in the Firmament.

(4) Striker Boots should give 30 seconds of sprint in the Firmament instead of 20 sec. The Firmament is still part of Ishgard. Since the Striker Boots gives 30 sec anywhere in Ishgard, it should also give 30 sec in the Firmament.

1) If we had 2) we wouldn't need 1).

2) See 1) and much easier for the devs to do.

3) We should perhaps have been forced to build those. Individual projects, not group.

4) That is really odd Caimie.

On the basis of the idea that the Firmament will be the template for Ishgard housing, do other housing zones get the Strider Boots buff effect? If so then I agree with number (4), if not then only if the other housing zones get the buff as well.

On the assumption that it will eventually be player housing, point 1 is kinda in line with other housing areas. Can't teleport directly, only aetheryte plaza 'ports in, exit is always a bit awkwardly placed with relation to city aetherytes (although admittedly, Ishgard seems on the extreme end of this).
