Teleport fee changes - setting the record straight

[wereotter]

I must be on glue, because even if the changes are not as bad as they could have been, this is still a pretty big increase on some of the later parts. I can only hope going forward from Stormblood (where I am) there will be cheap ferry options still, otherwise, I'm gonna be broke af. lol

Shadowbringers you'll largely just be in Norvrandt. There's a free way to get there from Mor Dhona, but I'm not sure if/how you can get back without teleporting as the travel to get to there is one-way.

Yikes. That's gonna be a gil-pocket burner for sure. Thanks for letting me know, man!

You can get back to Hydaelyn inside the Crystal tower in the Crystarium in Norvrandt.

Look at the prices to Norvrandt. They're going down and they're barely more expensive than travelling to Gridania.

And again, it's the price specifically from Costa del Sol to each of those places, not how much every teleport will cost you once you're there.

It's actually not that bad, when you do have to leave Norvrant, the story mostly will take you to Revenant's Toll, and with the Crystarium being considered, for teleportation purposes, the same place as The Crystal Tower, teleports between the two should be very cheap, possibly only 100 gil, which is actually much cheaper than it is right now.

I think that's plot unlocked, though? I feel like we were "stuck" on Norvrant (teleportation not withstanding) until the Exarch figured out how to help us travel back. Though you are right, I forgot you can go to the Exarch's chamber to travel back to Mor Dhona

Nah, we were fine to come and go because we were summoned correctly. It was the other Scions who were summoned to the First who couldn't leave. The Exarch didn't have the spell completely figured out for them, which led to some unforeseen consequences. They were his guinea pigs, more or less, though largely out of desperation on his part. He needed help asap.

Yeah this isn't bad. Inflation due to no proper money sinks is worse
(and yeah those mounts and housing aren't sinks, they're dumps. Sinks don't have an end.)

I'd rather they get rid of the leves that allow for the ultra rich to exist. There's no combat equivalent either. Every last gil making guide just tells you to level crafting and make coffee biscuits. It's bloody stupid.

Then you aren't reading the right guides. Retainers are great for making gil if you level and gear them up. That is a non combat and non crafting equivalent. I'm no hardcore crafter or raider, but I've got more gil than I currently know what to do with. There is no need to punish crafters for their leves.

It's still not going to be that drastic. Remember that the raised prices are specifically from La Noscea to Othard. Once the story takes you to Kugane, you stay in the Far East for the next large chunk of the story and will mostly be doing local teleports (or travelling on foot) around there.

As long as they're focusing on the story and not constantly dropping back to Eorzea, they'll be fine – and even if they do, a preferred destination in one continent and a home point in the other should be enough to travel comfortably.

It's unfortunate that you had to take up the role of being the voice of reason and most importantly, facts but thank you for doing it anyways. As I've said in-game regarding this topic, not only you make more money naturally the teleport fees themselves by the time you reach these areas but there's also the local costs that drastically lower if you teleport in-region.

I feel like those complaint threads are people who immediately thought of going from Limsa to overstate regions 10 times in a row and they're afraid of the hole the costs are gonna burn in their wallet.

In terms of raw-gil creation, treasure maps are a combat equivalent. They give hundreds of thousands of gil getting to the bottom floors. That and dutyfinder dailies are pretty effective. You get 6 leves a day which translates to about ~108k gil created so if you did all your dailies you'd make that as long as you're in-need (and about ~70k if you weren't).
