'''Raid Finder''' is an extension of [[Duty Finder]] that allows players to register for high-end [[trials]] and [[raids]]. By selecting a desired raid and matching requirements, players who queue in with less than a full party will be matched automatically with other players spanning multiple Worlds within the same data center. Premade full parties will enter the instance with the existing party, and no matchmaking will be performed. The Raid Finder will be unlocked when speaking with the NPC who would normally unlock the entrance to the specified instanced raid. It can be accessed via the Duty tab of the Main Menu.
 
Not all high-end raids and extreme trials are accessed via Raid Finder. Each major patch, the raids and trials which are to be found in the Raid Finder will change to include only the newest high-end trials and raids. Older content that was previously in the Raid Finder is moved to the Duty Finder after one major patch (for Extreme Trials) or two major patches (for Savage Raids). Ultimate Raids are always accessed through Raid Finder.
__TOC__
==Raid Finder Requirements==
Players need only to have access to either the latest Extreme Trial, have Unreal Trials unlocked, have the latest savage tier unlocked, or have any Ultimate raid unlocked. Please keep in mind, however, that the Raid Finder will become inaccessible when the next series of Savage raids or Extreme trials is introduced. At that time, players must unlock the next Savage or Extreme trial to gain access to the Raid Finder, if they have not unlocked any Ultimate raids.
 
==Raid Finder Usage==
In North American and European data centers, players who wish to form parties to practice and complete high-end content do not use Raid Finder matchmaking, instead preferring [[Party Finder]]. Raid Finder matchmaking is only routinely used in Japanese data centers, and typically only for duty completion instead of practice. Note that only ''matching'' is not commonly used in most data centers; full premade parties must still register for high-end duties through Raid Finder.
 
==Raid Finder Content==
 
The following raids and trials are available through [[High-end Duty]] via Duty Finder:
 
'''Trials'''
*{{questlink|trial|Containment Bay S1T7 (Unreal)}}
*{{questlink|trial|Storm's Crown (Extreme)}}
 
'''Raids'''
*{{questlink|raid|Abyssos: The Fifth Circle (Savage)}}
*{{questlink|raid|Abyssos: The Sixth Circle (Savage)}}
*{{questlink|raid|Abyssos: The Seventh Circle (Savage)}}
*{{questlink|raid|Abyssos: The Eighth Circle (Savage)}}
 
'''Ultimate Raids'''
*{{questlink|ultimateraid|The Unending Coil of Bahamut (Ultimate)}}
*{{questlink|ultimateraid|The Weapon's Refrain (Ultimate)}}
*{{questlink|ultimateraid|The Epic of Alexander (Ultimate)}}
*{{questlink|ultimateraid|Dragonsong's Reprise (Ultimate)}}
 
Matchmaking is unavailable for ultimate raids. In order to register, players must have a full premade party of eight people.
 
==Raid Finder Settings==
'''Matching Requirements'''
*Duty Complete - Players must have completed the selected raid at least once.
*Duty Incomplete - Completion of the selected raid is not required to participate.
 
'''Purpose'''
*Duty Completion - Only available to players who have yet to claim weekly rewards.
*Practice - When this option is selected, players can specify which phase of the battle they wish to practice.
 
'''Practice Phase Selection'''
 
This option is available only when selecting Practice. Players can then choose First Phase or Final Phase.
 
*Practice phase selection does not entail the actual skipping of phases, i.e. players cannot skip to the mechanic they want to practice.
*If party members have already completed the duty for the week, the number of treasure coffers will be reduced (for Savage raids only).
 
==Party Composition==
When queuing solo or with less than a full party, the Raid Finder will match together 2 tanks, 1 pure healer, 1 barrier healer, 1 ranged physical DPS, 1 ranged magical DPS, 1 melee DPS, and 1 other DPS. The fourth, unspecified DPS class or job to be matched will depend on the settings selected when registering for a raid.
 
When selecting Duty Completion, the unspecified DPS player cannot be the same class or job as other players to be matched together in a party.
 
When selecting Practice, the unspecified DPS player can be the same class or job as other players to be matched together in a party.
 
Please note that the above composition requirements are not imposed upon preformed parties.
* Players who have yet to complete the selected raid will take priority in the queue.
 
==Language Setting==
Language settings from the Duty Finder will be carried over to the Raid Finder
* Loot rules can only be changed when registering as a full party.
