Waypoint

Waypoint teleportation is a fast travel system that was introduced with the December 12, 2012 update.

Waypoints
There are two types of waypoints that can be used for waypoint teleportation: Proto-Waypoints and Geomagnetic Founts.

Proto-Waypoints
Proto-Waypoints are the primary hubs for waypoint teleportation. Using a Proto-Waypoint you may spend Kinetic Units to teleport to any other Proto-Waypoint or to any Geomagnetic Fount waypoint throughout Vana'diel provided you have already unlocked the waypoint by completing the necessary quests.

Proto-Waypoints are unlocked via the quest Researchers from the West


 * Locations:
 * Ru'Lude Gardens (G-9)
 * Selbina (G-10)
 * Mhaura (I-8)
 * Rabao (G-8)
 * Norg (G-7)

Geomagnetic Founts
Geomagnetic Fount waypoints are destination waypoints that can be teleported to using a Proto-Waypoint for a small fee of Kinetic Units.

Geomagnetic Founts are unlocked via the quest Middle Lands Investigation.


 * Locations:
 * West Ronfaure (E-8) on the cliff accessable only via Bostaunieux Oubliette

Kinetic Units
Kinetic Units are the currency that is used for waypoint teleportation. Kinetic Units are obtained by trading elemental Crystals or Crystal Clusters to Proto-Waypoints. Note that different crystals will yield different amounts of Kinetic Units and trading Crystal Clusters yields bonus units over trading a full stack of 12 crystals.

See Kinetic Units for more information and crystal to Kinetic unit converstion rates.
