Say Adios to your Warp Cudgels, this is the year 2014, FFXI has aged!
Say hello to the all new Home Point warping! Follow the simple instructions and you'll never have to buy one of these pesky things again. On my server (Ragnarok) Warp Cudgels go for about 40-50,000 Gil. One of these waystones will cost you no more than 15,000 Gil depending on your fame.
You will need a 'silver earring' + a 'waystone' obtained from any other the 3 following NPC:
NPC Name - Zone
Pirvidiauce - Northern San d'Oria- (D-8)
Wije Tiren - Windurst Woods- (I-8)
Boytz - Bastok Mines- (H-7)
The waystones will cost no more than 11,000 Gil and these NPC's are the ONLY way to obtain them.
Now, the silver earring you can get from any of the following NPC (Of course you can always refer to your local Auction House, though it may cost a bit more) for no more than 2,000 Gil:
NPC Name -Zone
Adelflete - Lower Jeuno- (H-9/10)
Matoaka - Lower Jeuno- (H-9/10)
Morefie - Lower Jeuno- (H-9/10)
Synergy. If you weren't scared by that word by now than you're going to be totally fine. If you were scared by that word, you're still going to be totally fine. This synergy synthesis says 'Initiate' level, but the cool thing about synergy, unlike crafting, you can be any level and still attempt the craft. Of course it will be easier the higher the level you are, but you can successfully complete this item via Synergy AT Lv.0 SYNERGY.(Unless of course you can find a friendly Synergist to do it free, or for a small fee.)
Throw the silver earring and the waystone of your choice into the synergy crucible and off you go. Assuming you have 0 skill level in SYNERGY, you are going to spam the required element until it comes to (+/-4) of the total needed. You will likely explode in this attempt at least once, but do not be discouraged. It may take a couple attempts but it is definitely possible.
Last but not least, your brand new Earring! Congratulations, you earned it! You should have saved about 20K~ depending on your servers cudgel prices.

About 12-15K Each.
Warp Cudgel and the Three earrings all have a recast of ONE HOUR and 30 Charges. You can purchase multiple cudgels for 40-50K Each, or spend about 40K purchasing and making every earring, giving you 3 warps every hour instead of 1. You can also wear these earrings 16 levels earlier than Warp Cudgel.
Use your earring, it'll take you to the desired Home Point. If that's your desired location, then you're Home, if not, simply click the home point. Once you have clicked the home point you can now select your desired home point location via the menu. Voila, you have officially learned some slight convenience and saved some gil. Repeat as needed! Thank you and You're welcome!
