Idea: item, probably a Key Item, that allows a player, within a city-state, to open their map and select any aetheryte within that city-state to teleport to.

Obviously one requirement would be having attuned to the entire network. Probably also an MSQ requirement. Leaning towards maybe make it end-of-expansion. Might be a bit excessive. But I should think these two requirements, with their achievement tie-ins, would work for the coding for unlocking, and as a key item, it doesn't really have to take up inventory space or really "exist" at all as anything other than a flag that a character has unlocked the ability.

Reason: I just kinda hate traveling via airship (frequently do if I'm leaving Gold Saucer to Ul'Dah traveling to GC), and there not being a conveniently accessible aetheryte at the landing. Two out of three ARR city-states even require zoning through another loading screen just to get to one. Additionally, zoning in through the field will also often leave you some distance away from a convenient aetheryte.

We're already attuned to the network, and we're already in the city. I just want to be lazy and zone in from anywhere and be able to click where I want to be, without the added step of teleporting to the main aetheryte plaza in the first place.
