Doing this on every server forum, out of curiousity.
What do your teleports run?

Does 1,000gil Mea, Holla, Dem
2,000gil Altep, Yhoat, Vahuzl
Sound incredibly outrageous?

J/w for reference reasons.

That seems to be the rate on my server. But then again erase costs 700k anymore I think.

I'm glad they are 500/1000, but hey... all items inflated, why not teleports, makes sense to me.

Mea, Dem, Holla: 500
Yhoator, Altep, Xarcabard: 1000

Only reason I see people wanting to raise the teleport prices is because of one reason which I most likely don't have to say. I've seen WHM complain bout how high the teleport quests are and have told them to just do the quests but all they say is that they don't want to. This may be off topic but it most likely goes to this eventually on these type of discussions.

Here though, we've always had Altep grouped with Dem and the others at 500 I thought. Pretty sure only Yhoat and Vahzl are the 1000 ones.

Yhoator and Xarcabard are the annoying ones so I can understand why they'd be the only ones at 1000 where you are.

Teleport-Altep: 500 gil
Teleport-Yhoat: 500 gil
Teleport-Dem: 500 gil
Teleport-Mea: 500 gil
Teleport-Holla: 500 gil

Teleport-Vahzl: 1,000 gil

Those have been the going, long-term, rates since I got my teleport scrolls last year. Occassionally we see a lone teleporter passing off the first five for 700-750 gil in the main cities (Not including Jeuno.), but eventually they go back to 500 when competition comes.

Teleporting isn't as big as it used to be on Bismarck because everything has become more expensive, and the Teleport rates haven't changed.

I'm sure there are other reasons, like, it's freakin' teidous.

I only teleport when I'm desperate for gil lol. Other than that if Im waiting for a group and 10 people are constantly shouting for teleports, I do jueno and others a favor by teleporting. I never charge people I know or if I am going to that destantion ill grab people and take them free. Rates are 500 for all except Vahzel is 1000. And as always Blessings are always Free!!!

I no longer run teleports as it is not a viable method of obtaining the massive amounts of gil required for me to obtain raise III, dark spirit pact, light spirit pact and thunder spirit pact. This is going on server for a total of about 2.5 million gil. If I do run a teleport I charge a minimum of 1k per person, per trip. If I have to pick up at one crag and take you to another it's 2k. I quested all of my teleport scrolls and only holla and dem were a walk in the park. Mea, Yhoat, Altep and Vazhl were all a HUGE pain in the butt. I've learned one thing from the recent AH madness and that is if someone wants something bad enough, they'll pay for it. Since I'm farming up 1.2 million for raise III to bring all of you back from the dead I think you can suck it up and pay extra for ports. If I see, "{teleport-dem} {can I have it?} 500g." I will let you rot until I see, "{teleport-dem} {can I have it?} 1000g." I don't care if you flame or rate me down. If you're asking me for a port it's because you have no other option and I will make you pay.

I empathize with WHM's in this server. Inflation effects everyone, so why should WHM be expected to offer the same service for the same price it has been since the beginning of the NA launch!? I port people all the time now, but to be honest, that 500 gil given for a single teleport is, imo, not a viable source of income anymore so I never take it. If I need a tele, I always offer 1k and tip 500 because I know that WHM is doing his damnedest to save up for a Raise 3 or Erase which may end up saving my *** some valuable XP or downtime eventually.

I was once a WHM too, and I did teles as well. However, I couldn't afford Erase and was kicked from a party because of this. I know that at the time, there was no way I was going to do 800 teles just so I could make enough gil to pay for one spell. I quit WHM that day, and almost quit the game too. Shame on you people who think WHM's are being selfish or that they don't deserve a little extra gil for their time. Show a little love out there for those whose only wish is to make YOUR xp loss less costly.

I pay whms 1k for any tele and 2k for yhoat. i'm a blm and i know how hard it is to make money and the whm is providing a very valuable service. I wouldn't complain one bit if all the teles went up a bit. i really feel sorry for whms with their gear and spell prices.

So hard to find ports anymore, most whitemages will eventually get passed the point that they need to port ***** for money. Those playing whm as second or third jobs obviously won't utilized that either. So unless port price go up, more and more people will stop wasting their time porting for a mere 500 gil. Don't call them greedy, 500 now is totally worthless, can't even buy a chocobo with that most of the time. Will it be a big problem? not neccesarily, when you are high level, there certainly would be someone in your party /whm that can port, or port altep then rabao changed job. The only hard one would probably be Vahzl and Yhoat.

When chocobos in Jeuno cost upwards of 700+ gil, and that takes 15-20min depending on where you need to go, you would think that paying more for an instant delivery would be worth more money.

Of course if you're trying to go from Jeuno to a town, some extra time is still required...but at least you cut the time in half.

Since I started playing, I've seen leaping boots go from 150k to 850k, emp hairpin from 200k to over a million, Erase go from 200k-650k, Astral rings go fro 250k-700k...hell, even the teleport spells are tripling and quadrupling in price.

Yet ports are still 500g. 500 can't even buy you a stack of earth crystals anymore...
