Teleport house combo?

so what is the best house/FC/apartment combo for teleports?

[Mimilu]

If you are asking which will give you the lowest teleport prices while chain-teleporting: I think Goblet + Shirogane.
Ul'dah is in the middle of Limsa, Gridannia, and Ala Mhigo and Kugane is so far away from the rest.
Maybe once Ishgard is open, Gridannia might be better.

I wouldn't bother picking a housing location based on teleport fees. The savings doesn't amount to much.

Better to buy Aetheryte tickets using Allied Seals and Centurio Seals so you pay nothing at all.

Just spread it out, place 1 residence (apartment/house/fc room)in a city state where you have your grand company, then pick another city state and place 1 residence, and finally make sure to place 1 residence in Shirogane.

Have a one house, FC, or apt in Gridania's Laveder Beds, as that gives you good rates when teleporting from any ARR & HW zone and Eorzea's SB zones (Fringes, Peaks, Lochs, etc...)
Have the other in Kugane's Shirogane, which gives you better rates for coverage of Othard's SB zones (Yanxia, Azim Steppe, etc...) plus cheaper jumps to Doma > Gangos.
Really then no need to have the third place in another residential zone.

Teleporting to any ShB zone will still cost max to or from, but there is no residential options for those areas, yet.

As in... you're planning on TPing in cheap and from there TPing to where you actually wanna go?
Like having a house in the Shirogane so you can go there first and then to anywhere in the far east?
Don't bother.
I played around with it for awhile and realized the price of two cheap teleports will always be higher than just TPing straight where you wanted to go in the first place.

It's still cheaper to TP to an apartment in Shiro then to a different TP in Othard than go direct. But it doesn't save you on any of the other teleports you take while in Othard. It only saves you when you TP back to Eorzea (and again doesn't save you anything once you're there and TPing to other places).

Getting that 250-350 gil savings once or twice per log in period definitely is not worth it. You'd have to do it over 1400 times before you recovered the cost of an apartment.

Maybe I'm just dumb, but I just did some TP comparisons in game (rip my gil) and couldn't find a place where TPing into my Shirogane house first and to my primary destination second actually saved money.
Where were you TPing to?

[Jojoya]

To my Shiro apartment from anywhere not Othard: 249 gil

Prices to Othard destinations (other than Kugane) from my apartment: 333 (Tamamizu) to 480 (either Azim Steppe destination) with the others falling in between.

Those amounts are without the Reduced Rates buff from FC actions or squadron manual (would be less if I were buffed by either).

So that's 582 to get to Tamamizu or 729 to get to Reunion/Dawn Throne versus the 999 it would cost to go to either directly.
