Weekly Events

 Test your luck in the weekly Free Company Lottery! This Lottery has a guaranteed winner every week and all tickets purchased are added to the total prize money!   

 Unlike our normal Lottery, the Powerball does not have a guaranteed winner! Instead, the prize pool will grow week after week until a winner is determined!   

Have a knack for treasure hunting? Want to test your luck in the gameshow dungeons, "Aquapolis," "Lost Canals," or "Lyhe Ghiah?" Looking to make some quick gil? This is the perfect event for you! 

 We are starting a new bi-weekly Free Company event to help get to know each other on a more fun, and personal level! Every other Sunday at 8:00pm EST we will be hosting a "Jackbox Party Pack" event where we will play fun, non-Final Fantasy 14 games.  

Looking for help learning a new job? Want to pick up crafting, but have no idea where to start?  Having trouble understanding a rotation or the design of a job? 

We have dedicated veterans of all jobs who have offered their time to deliver comprehensive courses on how to be the best at the jobs/roles this game has to offer! Classes occur weekly on a varying schedule and will cover the basics and rotations of jobs and roles.

The Black Waltz Lottery occurs every Monday at 11:00pm EST.**

To participate you must choose a number between 1 and 1000 and submit 10,000 Gil into the Lottery Pool. The pool will grow as each person buys a ticket - there is no cap to how large the pool can grow! In addition, the Free Company will always set the base Lottery Pool at 200,000 Gil. Any purchased tickets will add to this amount!

For example, if 50 players contribute, the pool will be 700,000 Gil (50 x 10,000 + Base FC Contribution).

At 11:00pm EST, a randomized number generator will choose a number between 1 and 1000 (this is achieved by our Lottery Coordinator using the /random function in game). *Note: This number will be seen by anyone in the room and cannot be altered.

The player whose number is the closest to the number drawn will win the Lottery Pool! In the event that two players are an equal number away from the Drawn Number, the Lottery Pool will be divided equally and given to both players.

If you need further clarification on how this works, or would like to participate, please reach out to Istari Xiomar in-game. You can Mogmail your Gil and number choice to Istari at any point during the week. All numbers are recorded and saved.

RULES

1. Only players who have paid 10,000 Gil towards the Lottery Pool and provided their number choice to the coordinators are eligible to receive the winnings.
2. The deadline for submissions is 15-minutes prior to the Lottery Draw each Monday night.
3. Players may contribure more-than 10,000 Gil into the Lottery Pool to grow the amount, but they are only eligible for 1 draw/number choice.
4. In the event of a tie (an equal number between 2 players' number choices), the winnings will be split and shared between both players.
5. To accommodate the triple-payout rule outlined below, base Lottery Pool payouts will be capped at 5,000,000 gil. Any additional contributions / ticket purchases above this amount will be placed into the Free Company Chest for future events.
6. You do not have to be present at the draw to win the lottery; however if you wish to see other participants’ number choices, you must be present.
7. In the event that the Lottery Pool is below 200,000 Gil, the Free Company with contribute the difference so the pool is this amount at minimum.
8. If a participant guesses the number drawn exactly correct (for example, if the player chooses 333 and the number /random drawn is 333), the player will receive a TRIPLE PAYOUT of the base Lottery Pool growth, excluding any discretionary bonuses put forth by the Free Company.
9. If a player wishes to participate but isn’t able to be online within a reasonable time before the Lottery, or a new player wishes to participate but can not afford the ticket costs, they may have their ticket sponsored by another FC member.

 Map Mondays occur every Friday evening at 8pm EST!

The requirement to participate:

• Access to all Shadowbringers zones if the group is planning on doing Zonureskin Maps for the Dungeons of Lyhe Ghiah.
• Access to all Stormblood zones if the group is planning on doing Gazelleskin maps for the Lost Canals.
• Access to all Heavenward zones if the group is planning on doing Dragonskin maps for Aquapolis.

Flight is not required in these zones but it is recommended because the amount of players with 2-seater mounts could be limited.

Parties will be formed on a first-come, first-serve basis. In the event that two full parties are formed and there are still members who want to participate, groups one and two will help create a third group by transferring one or two people so that everyone can participate. In the event that there are less-than enough people for two full groups, groups will be formed to try to have an equal number of players.

Each participating player must provide at least one map for the group to enjoy. The maximum amount of maps per player can be determined by the group during the event, depending on how many portals are found. A loose guideline to ensure fairness is that everyone should be able to have at least one portal each, which may take one, two, or even three maps.

Please note: each player should have the opportunity to do their first map before third rounds are started.

LOOT RULES

During the FC Map event, all loot is NEED for all players participating, regardless of who supplied the map. The reasoning behind this is that all players within the group are contributing to the success of the map, and therefore all should have an equal attempt at the loot.

If there is an item you need for something important, or are trying to collect (crafting materials, minions, orchestra rolls, etc), you can always ask the group if you can have it. Please remember that this is a shared event, so make sure it is for something important before you ask; everyone deserves a chance at loot.

If you have any questions about these guidelines/rules, please reach out to Istari in-game or via Discord.

**The guidelines are meant to ensure fairness and equality, which are fundamental principles of our Free Company. Any spontaneous map nights in which at least half of the group are members of our Free Company should use these guidelines to further promote our core values.
