Related actions
“When first adventuring beyond the walls of your starting city, attuning to an aetheryte will grant you the spell Teleport. Using this spell, you can travel instantly between aetherytes to which you are attuned. It should be noted that adventurers are expected to pay a small fee in gil for the upkeep of the aetheryte network.
Players will be able to teleport to various Aetherytes in different locations of Eorzea. Players must visit the Aetheryte and attune (interact) with it before they are able to teleport to it.
Each teleport costs 
Gil. The teleport fee is calculated according to how many zones the player would have had to traverse if Teleport was not used. These teleport costs are a method to control inflation by removing Gil from the game entirely.
Players may designate up to 3 "favored" destinations for 50% teleport cost, or 4 if players download and log in to the Companion app. Activating one-time passcode (also known as 2-factor authentication) grants a free teleport location. There are also free company actions and a consumable item that can reduce rates for their duration. Finally, there are other consumable items available that allow one free teleport per item.
When an expansion or major patch is newly released, overworld zones and cities relevant in the Main Scenario Quests for the update will often be divided into multiple instanced zones to alleviate player congestion. Teleporting to any aetheryte in the zone will place the player in a random, non-congested instance. Players can view their current instance by inputing /instance in the chat. To switch instances, players can interact with any aetheryte in the instanced zone and select "Travel to Instanced Area", which will display a list of all instances of that zone in the server along with the current player population in each.

History
Teleport was available during the 1.x release of Final Fantasy XIV, though in a severely restricted form. Instead of gil, a separate currency called "anima" (described a form of spiritual energy required for teleportation) was used. Anima regenerated extremely slowly at a rate of one anima every four hours (six per day), up to a maximum of 100 anima. This was the status quo until Patch 1.22, where participating in the newly-added Hamlet Defense battles could reward substantially more anima.
Teleportation costs were steep. Teleporting between regions cost six anima, but this could be reduced under certain conditions. For example, there were Aetherial Gates located in a region that could be used to teleport back and forth to the main aetheryte of that region for the cost of one anima.
When A Realm Reborn launched, anima was abolished, and the in-game justification of paying gil tolls to maintain the aetheryte network was introduced. Gil costs were capped at 999 until the release of Endwalker, when the cap was removed as an anti-inflation measure.
Trivia
Normally, Teleport is unlocked upon attuning to one's second Aetheryte. However, if one refrains from attuning to any Aetherytes after the first mandatory attunement during the quest Close to Home, it is possible to proceed throughout the entire Main Scenario Quest without ever unlocking Teleport. While City of the First requires attuning to a second Aetheryte in The Crystarium, for reasons unknown, this will not unlock Teleport.[1]
Teleport is additionally not unlocked if the only Aetherytes one is attuned to are City State Aetherytes. This includes but is not limited to Gridania, Limsa and Ul’Dah. Interestingly the Gold Saucer Aetheryte does not count either. To fix not having teleport, one must attune to an Aetheryte that is not in a City State such as Summerford Farms in Middle La Noscea.
