As you’re probably aware, the current game content (or rather lack of) means more players are taking longer breaks away from the game. Unfortunately this also means that it’s been harder for us to fill in-game events because of having less people available.
However, we have good news and we are going to be teaming up with the members of TechnoCore, a fellow Free Company based on Sagittarius. This isn’t a random FC, some of our members actually already have alts there and vice versa some of their alts are in our FC. What this means is you already know some of the people and for some events, members of either FC will be able to sign up and join in.
You won’t need to do anything differently, the events will still be posted on our Discord server like before and mirrored to theirs. You just need to react to the event/sign up like usual (they’ll sign up the same way on their Discord server). Regardless of which server someone joins an event on, it will automatically be updated to both servers. Easy 🙂
It’s the start of 2025 and I’m glad to say that our FC is still here, 7 and a half years later and thank you all so much for being a part of it!
Our raffle has now ended, congratulations to all winners! We had 7 main winners who won 1.5 million Gil each and 10 runner ups who each won 250,000 Gil. We also had 7 people who didn’t win anything at all (sorry!), but they still received a 100,000 Gil consolation prize!
This means the total prize money for this raffle was 13,700,000 Gil and here’s a table of the winners:
The Starlight Celebration has begun once again so that must mean it’s time for another FC raffle!
As usual this is free to enter for all our FC members who were with us at the start of 17th December and has been active within the last 30 days!
This year we will be giving away 7 main prizes of 1.5 million Gil each (1 per day from 25th to 31st December inclusive) and runner ups on those days will get 250,000 Gil each. Anyone who doesn’t win anything during the event will still get a 100,000 Gil consolation prize at the end!
For more information, please see this years special page for the event!
You can change your number as much as you want until the first draw, but it’s first come first served so get your number now!
Our FC house has had the same style for a while now, but thanks to two of our members, Lyallon Estaqur and L’ireiya Tia, we have a whole new look! A picture says a thousand words so here’s a lot of “words”!

Thank you L’ireiya and Lyallon for your time and skill, it all looks amazing!
We’ve also changed the exterior to the recently released “Country Mansion” skin in a bright ruby red colour:
We’re located in Shirogane, Ward 8, Plot 16 if you want to come and have a look! (on Omega/Chaos)
As you probably guessed from the title, our Free Company has now been around for seven years! Wow! In usual tradition we celebrated it with lots of games and lots of prizes!
Also as usual we had a new outfit for everyone to wear. With the Dawntrail expansion releasing in under 2 weeks the outfit theme this time was an attempt at a crossover between a vacation outfit and the new Pictomancer job. At least that was the idea!
Here we all our on our FC roof!Suiting up
Specifically the outfit was White Beret (Pumpkin Orange), Extreme Survival Shirt (Undyed), Hose of Happiness (Pumpkin Orange) and Leather Sandals (Pumpkin Orange).
This time for our jump puzzles we went on location and I need to link and give credit to Nae’s FFXIV Jumping Puzzles. They have many different jumping puzzles on many different servers and while I’ve only seen a few of them, they are very impressive and really recommend taking a look! We used two of theirs (Chaos -> Omega -> FC house rooms 5 and 6) and gave our prizes for the first 5 people to finish.
After this we headed to Upper La Noscea to play hide and seek. How this works is that I place some characters around the area and everyone has to find them and you get a bigger prize for finding them faster. In previous years this has dragged on a bit, so this time I made it easier by picking a smaller zone where we can fly, but compensated by increasing the number of characters who were hiding. We had some problems with people finding them a bit too fast, but overall I think it worked well and next time I think we’ll just use a slightly bigger zone.
Then we headed back to the house for a mini quiz. The first person to answer correctly won Gil and the majority of questions were on things related to the Free Company (and also to make sure people are aware of some of the perks of being with us etc!)
Then we went back out into the world to throw ourselves off tall buildings to try and land on a tiny spot far below! Everyone had three chances and got points for how close they were to the marker and then the overall scores were added up to allocate the prizes.
We then moved back to the FC house to do the raffle. There were items prizes, but also some Gil prizes (see the lists below for who won what). Finally, we moved to the Gold Saucer to do a quick run of “Cliffhanger”. It’s not very hard and everyone who went made it, but it was just a fun little thing to end on!
The total prize money we gave out was a 23.55 million Gil (that’s 10.25 million more than last year) and here is a list of who won how much:

Finally I was quite chuffed to see that some of our members still had some of our older outfits (and this wasn’t even from the last year!)
Thank you everyone for a part of our FC and let’s look forward to our eighth anniversary!
For those of you who don’t know, we have 4 FC submarines that operate like massive multi-day ventures. These are constantly running to bring back items which either go in the giveaways or are just sold for Gil which goes into the company chest.
We use this Gil to fund the purchase of FC rooms whenever anyone wants one, but also to pay for our much bigger events like the birthday parties and the Xmas raffles.
Lately we’ve started to get more money than we really need, so we’re going to be starting a sweepstake where anyone who has played within the last 7 days is automatically entered into a draw for a chance to win 250k Gil! We’re also going to be running this twice a week! (Tuesday and Saturday).
Updated 14 April 2024: We’re now running this three times a week! (Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday!)
For full details, please see our dedicated page about this!
The raffle has ended and we actually added an extra bonus day too! This means we had 8 main winners who each won 1.5 million Gil and 13 runner-ups who each won 250,000 Gil. We also had 5 people who didn’t win anything at all, so they each received a 100,000 Gil consolation prize!
This means the total prize money for this raffle was 15,750,000 Gil and here’s a table of the winners:

Congratulations again to everyone who won and I’m sure we’ll do another raffle again in the future!
It’s December once more so that mean it’s time for another FC raffle!
This is free for all FC members who were with us at the start of 17th December and has been active within the last 30 days This is also our 5th raffle and for this one we are going to be increasing the prize money!
We will be giving away 7 main prizes of 1.5 million Gil each (1 per day from 25th to 31st December inclusive) and runner ups on those days will get 250,000 Gil each. Anyone who doesn’t win anything during the event will still get a 100,000 Gil consolation prize at the end!
For more information, please see this years special page for the event!
Don’t miss out, enter without delay and pick your (hopefully) lucky number!
I know we don’t post often, but we’re still here! We also still have our members only Discord so anyone from the FC who is reading this, come join us! (you need to do this if you want to join in the giveaways!) However, this post is just to let everyone know about a few rank changes that are happening today.
Most of our members probably already know, but Mel Arky, one of our founding members, went into semi retirement a few months ago. They are still in the FC so I’m sure we’ll still see them from time to time, but after nearly 10 years of playing this game, they just wanted to try new things and I certainly can’t fault that! Thank you for being with us since the start and for all the assistance that you’ve provided over the years!
I think many people will agree that the game is in a bit of a content drought right now, but the new expansion is coming. Hopefully some of our inactive members will return for this and we’ll also be pushing for new recruits as well and this felt like a good time to shuffle things round and also gives me a chance to offload some work onto others!
I’ve created a new rank (Amethyst) and Ashelia Nightfall and Bearn Livinstone will be moving to this. It has the same permissions as Sapphire, but also allows them to change the ranks of players. The logic in this is that instead of requiring me to do all rank changes, they’ll be able to do this and it’ll hopefully minimise any delays from people getting the rank they should have! We’ve still got to work out some details (like right now I send the person a message when they have a rank change, but that requires friend list so won’t really be possible), but we’ll work it out!
I’ve also asked L’ireiya Tia, Lyallon Estaqur and Maralade Ferilla to become Sapphire so they can help out with a few extra things such as setting people up with their free FC rooms. They’ve all been with us a very long time and despite the current content drought, they continue to be active. I’d like to think we’re a relatively drama free FC and hopefully most of the time they shouldn’t need to do much more, but I also wanted a few more people who were active so that if something is needed in-game, there’s a higher chance someone might be online to help out with it. Thank you in advance for your assistance!
The end of 2023 is in site and I can confirm that we will be having our usual raffle! (link is for last years, we haven’t started this years yet!) So watch out for that!
