Quality of life changes are perhaps some of the most overlooked updates that arrive during a new MMO expansion. In this post, we're taking a look at a few of the quality of life changes that Patch 6.0 brought to FFXIV, including new ground targeting and teleport settings!

New Ground Targeting Settings

First, Endwalker introduced new ground targeting settings, which allow players to place abilities like Asylum and Earthly Star more easily than before.

Checking the first box under the ground targeting settings section limits an ability's ground marker to as far as its range. After checking the second box, players can double click ground abilities to easily place them wherever their cursor is located.

New Teleport and Travel Settings

Endwalker also introduced new teleport settings, including an option that allows players to default to using an Aetheryte Ticket if a teleport fee is above a specified limit.

For example, if you don't want to spend over 1,000 gil to teleport, you can specify 1,000 gil as your allowance. If you have Aetheryte Tickets in your inventory, they will only be used on teleport fees that cost the specified amount or higher.

Aetheryte Tickets provide players with one free teleport to a place of their choosing! If you'd like to stock up on Aetheryte Tickets and make use of this new feature, you can purchase these tokens with Allied Seals from the various Hunt Billmasters in game. You can also trade in Gold Chocobo Feathers from the Recruit a Friend system for Aetheryte Tickets!

Additionally, a new menu will pop up when traveling via aetheryte crystals in any major city! You can find a preview of what this looks like in game from the screenshot below.

Once you click on a specific crystal, a small circle will highlight where the aetheryte is located on the map. You must click the desired location once more to be teleported to the aetheryte crystal.

Although these changes aren't necessarily groundbreaking, they will certainly make our lives a lot easier while playing through the new expansion!

On the aethernet change... you can also just click on the aetheryte shard on the map once, instead of the name of it on the list twice.
