    Higher than usual Teleport costs?

    I'm finally getting around to leveling DoL/DoH, and as I teleport around Tural doing wingleves, I couldn't help but notice that the Teleport costs are a little... nutty.

    Just teleporting from Tuliyollal to Yak T'el is over 1000 gil, which in the past was the price of Teleporting to an entirely different reflection. All this gil just trying to Teleport to a zone with a direct connection to the one I'm coming from. It costs less to Teleport to the edge of the universe and thousands of years into the past than it does to Teleport across this stupid continent.

    If these zones are, in truth, malms and malms apart, then the game did an awful job communicating this (outside of Heritage Found, that train really put in some work huh). Looking at a map, Tural looks like it's about as long as the Old World is wide, but... it doesn't feel like it.

    Then again, it's probably also my fault for not being in an FC...

    Yeah, they have clearly inflated the gil cost for traveling between the latest zones.

    There are a couple ways to reduce the teleportation cost but it will require some time and dedication.
    If you haven't, send your Adventurer Squadron to do missions that (if successful) grants Priority Aetheryte Pass - Teleport Fee Reduction: 40% Duration: 120m..
    And/or do some old Hunts (ARR, HW & SB / Allied Seal & Centurio Seal) to buy Aetheryte Ticket - A free teleport for each ticket.

    SB Hunts too for the Centurio seals, and Masked Carnivale(Blue Mage) is also a great way to get allied seals.

    I've never touched Blue Mage due to lack of interest for it.
    But that's good to know for people who might see that as another option.
    Also, nice of you to correct me on where to get required Seals. I forgot that Stormblood also used the Centurion Seals.

    I thought that they said they wouldn't make it more than 1000 in and old live letter.

    Not saying I can't pay but 2000 is a bit expensive just for tp especially when you tp a lot, even with reduction fee.

    I sometimes fly around early zones to collect hunt marks.
    But I do somewhat feel a little guilty when coming across A hunts, feeling that I'm "robbing" the experience of lower level players, possibly even new players the experience of fighting them.

    So why, I wonder, doesn't all "tiers" of Hunt vendors sell utility items such like the Aetherite Tickets?
    Is it to motivate "older" players to go back to older zones?
    The experience would still be the same, they kill the A marks in second(s) and then move on.
    Not that thrilling honestly.
    Maybe a FATE level sync system for A and maybe even S marks could be something to ponder over.
