Teleports may be purchased, but they can be pricey or unavailable and don't help you cross an area to the maw in any event. |
As with everything in this game you have to put the work in up front to get the benefits later. Once you have visited a map you can teleport to it from your past home nation for absolutely no gil whatsoever, just a few Allied Notes. Getting around in the past is even easier than getting around in any of the other areas of the present. Not to mention the fact that the past is also a shortcut for getting to some places in the present. For example, without WoTG, say you wanted to go from Bastok to Sandy, you could run there in about an hour, choco in 20-30, get airships for anywhere between 20-40 minutes. Using the past it takes all of 5-10 minutes using the Maws in Gustaberg and Ronfaure and the teleport facility from your Home Nation (S).
