Teleportation Menu Options
Back again with one of those minor quality of life menu options it's real easy to overlook or forget about. This time, it's the teleportation menu.
In this short menu are two primary options for teleport settings: aetheryte ticket usage, and tab preferences.
Aetheryte ticket usage is simple; select the option in the dropdown you prefer, and then, if selecting either "Confirm for All Costs Above Gil Allowance" or "Always Use for Costs Above Gil Allowance", set that price of your choosing in the gil allowance field below the dropdown. In this case, I've set the options to Always Use an aetheryte ticket for teleportation costs above 500 gil.
I also forgot they added the ability to sort the teleport tabs by expansion, as the default has been by region for so long. But when I make the selection...
I like that the original three city-state regions remain separate; the remaining ARR options are Dragonhead and Revenant's Toll. Shadowbringers doesn't change much as all the aetherytes were in Norvrandt anyway, but for Endwalker and Dawntrail and their various far-flung locations, it's much easier on my brain to seek them under the expac, rather than confusing various region markers, and the "Others" tab was getting unruly. Now it just has my apartments/houses/FC home.
At the bottom of the page it will track how many tickets you have on hand. Where does one find these tickets? Three places!
The first place is your Grand Company Hunt Billmaster, usually next to the Hunt Board for ARR. Since I'm on C'oretta, we'll use the Immortal Flames for the example. Substitute your own GC, the options are the same.
I have other tutorials about the Hunts and benefits, like items, glamours, and in current content upgrades for endgame tomestone gear (subject to change in 8.0!). As a way to level and get gil, once level capped I tend to just do my weekly B hunts for each expac for seals and gil (and chance stumbling on soloable A Ranks in ARR, HW, or StB zones for more rewards), since I don't catch hunt trains that often. Allied seals can also be gained in the Carnivale by Blue Mages, but for now, let's talk to our Company buddy.
There's various options for Company-themed gear, but we're going to the "Other" option, which is where you can find minions, riding maps, crafting materials, chocobo fruit seeds, Ventures, and Aetheryte Tickets. Those last two are very inexpensive, allowing you to buy quite a lot if you've a stockpile of seals and nothing else to spend them on.
The second place to find Aetheryte Tickets is in Ishgard at the Forgotten Knight. Ardolain, one of the elder leaders of Clan Centurio, also has an option for various items, Ventures, and Aetheryte Tickets.
It's important to note that the Clan vendors in Rhalgr's Reach do Not offer Aetheryte Tickets!
The third place is from a Calamity Salvager, in the "Deal in Spoils" menus, if you've any Gold Chocobo Feathers on hand.
Technically there is a fourth method, which is via certain one time quests, some of them temporary holidays. There also used to be the old Veteran's reward system, but those items moved to other ways to acquire them. Like in the aetheryte tickets' case, via hunts.
And that's it! Ways to get the tickets and also set your teleport so it's not asking every time if you want to use a ticket or spend 70 gil to go from one aetheryte in a zone to another - but will use a ticket automatically when you've got a 1k+ teleport cost. Also remember there's more than one way to organize your teleport list to whichever way, by region or by expansion, that works best for you.
Happy traveling!
