Free Company

Introduction

Free Company Tutorial 1

Free Companies are player operated organizations similar to guilds in other MMOs. To create a Free Company players need to be level 25 or higher and be part of a Grand Company. You need to pay 15,000 gil along with signatures from 3 other players to create a Free Company. Also, you must not have been in a free company for at least 24 hours.

• Players can only be in 1 Free Company at a time.

• Free Companies are guilds while Linkshells are chat channels.

Players can rank up their free companies by participating in activities to earn free company experience points. Activities include fighting monsters, gathering resources, crafting items, completing guildleves, Grand Company Leves and Treasure Hunts. These activities also grant Free Company credits that can be used to earn buffs and items.

Currently, there are eight ranks.

• At rank 6, your Free Company will be able to purchase plots of land for Free Company Housing.

Free Company Crafting

Introduced in Heavensward, Free Company Crafting allows the players to create Aetherial Wheels, Housing Items and Company Airships for the Free Company.

Free Company Airships

Introduced in Heavensward, Company Airships can embark on Exploratory Voyages. These voyages explore the uncharted lands in The Sea of Clouds.

Aetherial Wheel

Introduced in patch 2.5, Aetherial Wheel allows the Free Company to use Free Company Actions without spending company credit.

Retainer Dispatchmen

An expansion of duties permit is required to place a retainer on your estate grounds outside the hall. These permits are purchasable from independent sutlers in any residential district.

One, two, or three retainers can be placed on small, medium, and large estates respectively.

Once a retainer is placed on estate grounds, items that they currently have listed for sale on the market can be purchased by anyone who speaks with them. Other players can also view the retainer's sales history (up to 20 entries). Placing retainers on estate grounds does not impact your ability to summon them via summoning bells to deposit and withdraw items, or to assign retainer ventures.
