FATE (Full Active Time Event) battles are encounters on the map that happen every so often as you venture throughout Eorzea in Final Fantasy XIV. These events allow players to get extra experience, FFXIV Gil, and other bonuses by helping out. Most FATEs will require players to do battle with large mobs of enemies, or fight one extremely powerful boss. Rewards vary depending on level, with some big FATEs even going so far as to reward unique, event-exclusive items!

The Basics of FATE Battles for FFXIV Gil Hunters

A message will appear on screen once you sense a FATE nearby, and the location will be visible on the map. Watch out for FATE indicators that randomly appear on the map. To join a FATE, simply enter the instance (blue circle signifies the FATE radius) on your minimap and clear the FATE objectives. There are no limits to the number of players that can participate in a FATE at a time. As a general rule, if one of the participating FFXIV Gil hunter’s level is too high, he / she will be asked to level sync down. You’ll need to complete the on-screen objectives within the time limit to complete the FATE. Players will then be rewarded with XP and adequate Final Fantasy XIV Gil; additionally, players that have joined a Grand Company will also be awarded with guild seals of their respective GC. Make sure you’re always prepared for any FATE battles along the way when you buy FFXIV Gil!

Level Sync for FFXIV Gil Hunters

As mentioned above, FFXIV Gil hunters that are at advanced levels than the activated FATE will be prompted to level sync down in order to participate. If the player does not adhere to this, he / she will not be able to attack the targets in the FATE. For those that do, the player will be put at the highest level available to participate in the FATE. Note that as you level sync, you will also lose certain abilities gained at much later levels.

Earning Ratings for FFXIV Gil Hunters

Depending on how players participate in a FATE, players will be awarded differently. The more a player contributes to the completion of a FATE, the player will gain a medal indicating his role. FFXIV Gil hunters can earn a medal ranging anywhere from Gold Medal to Honorable Mention. Here are the different ratings:

  • GOLD MEDAL – Highest rating. Max reward for experience, FFXIV Gil, and Grand Company seals. Some FATEs will reward players with a minion item.
  • SILVER MEDAL – Second highest rating. Considerable reward for experience, FFXIV Gil, andGrand Company seals. No minion reward.
  • BRONZE MEDAL – Third highest rating. Decent reward for experience, FFXIV Gil, and Grand Company seals. No minion reward.
  • HONORABLE MENTION MEDAL – Lowest rating possible. Very little participation needed. Usually occurs by doing small amounts of damage right before a FATE ends. Yields very small reward for experience, cheap FFXIV Gil, and Grand Company seals.
