Legit. I once went back to the Immortal Flames for a weekend because I wanted to wear their glam. I feel bad for whomever had to read that report. lmao!
Ohhh! I didn’t know you kept your rank and seals in a previous company so they’d be there when you came back. Same about the squadron!! I’ve been so nervous to switch and get achievements/bardings/glams because I didn’t want to lose my stuff :):) thanks so much for the tips!!
thank you so much for this video. i was afraid of switching because i didnt wana lose my progress but i need to get the achievements for the other GCs as im going for 100%
Thank you for the video. I thought GCs mattered more, but being able to switch freely and be able to rank up in each of them isn't bad at all....another task on my massive list of things to do :D
4:07 Thank you for clarifying this for everyone. As a wee sprout I had no idea you couldn't rank up past Captain, so I was very confused when I saw that rank list. I don't know why those ranks are listed in game when you can't achieve them
You're welcome! 💜I really, really hope it's because they will be added in future content, because I'd love to be CHAMPION of all the Grand Companies. lmao! It's been something I've been dreaming of since I started playing. It would be worth waiting all this time for. In the meantime, we can only keep dreaming.
Debbie must work for the FBI, because I just swapped my GC for the first time this week. Kind of stinks how there is a 15 day swap timer because I already unlocked everything.
>.> I have no idea what you're talking about. 😉 And... I suppose you can use the 15 days to work on the achievements/leves/PVP Rank? Unless you've done all that. In which case, please tell me how!
Do you know if the grand company set restrictions apply to glamour? I'm thinking about collecting all the elite sets for glam, can you only glamour your current GC's sets?
Unfortunately, they do. It will not allow you to glamour your items as another GC, or equip your chocobo with another GCs barding. Apparently, they care a lot about allegiance. Sorry for the bad news! But I hope that helps.
Almost did it so that I wouldn't lose every single pvp frontline back in the day when you were actually tied to your grand company. All the good players stacked on Maelstrom or even Adders, while Flames were almost guaranteed to lose. Thankfully they changed it and made your team random and now I only lose 66% of the time the way the math intended.
Absolutely this! 😵It's the same reason Flames are the only GC I don't have max rank in. Because I could never stay on them for long because I'm a big Frontlines player. Their lose rate was abysmal! But now it's finally time to get it done!
Is there a way to reset the previous task or something? I'm stuck where it's saying I need to finish a trial but doesn't say which one. Ive googled the ones around my rank and done them multiple times. Not sure what to do.
The two trials you need to do for Grand Companies are Aurum Vale and Dezmael Darkhold. It will be part of a quest you pick up from a quest NPC in the headquarters of your Grand Company, which will become available once you hit the appropriate rank. If you do not see any available quests to pick up there, check your Journal to make sure you don't already have it. If you do, report to the next NPC listed on the quest before doing the dungeon. I hope this helps!! 💜
@@sawyercustom Check your Quest Journal for either "Shadows Uncast" or "Gilding the Bilious" If either of them are in your journal you will need to complete them. Otherwise, I'm out of ideas. 🙊
@@gamer_debbie I’m a total noob!!! Wife showed me.. I did pally hunting list not the gc one.. I’m sorry for wasting your time.. thank you for the help though.. very appreciated.. I’ll try to catch you on stream. I’m usually playing from like 6pm-midnight 1 am lol almost 85.
Unfortunately Frontline wins has me locked into one GC indefinitely. I'm dumping my levequest allowance to complete that, but the frontlines are holding me down. I am eager to switch for good reason. I feel my hometown's public chat is just 24/7 lewd chat for attention-seekers and night-club barkers. Creating an alt and playing on another DC really opened my eyes to how the rest of the world plays.
It's okay to take a break from it for a while and come back to it. It saves your current frontline victories for that GC, so you aren't losing them by switching. And when you're ready to switch back, you'll be where you were with that achievement - ready to keep going. Especially if it's getting you down, as close as you might be, it could be for the best to move on to another GC. Good luck!
If you mean GC, you go to the Headquarters of another GC and ask to become a member - they will make the switch there. You always must have a GC. If you mean FC, then you go into your FC Menu, and there is an option on one of the tabs there to leave. I hope this helps!
Good luck, then! 😊I only have the Maelstrom one, though I'm going for the Flames next. It's not an easy achievement, I know it just about broke me getting the 60 I needed for the Garo horse. Trying to farm victories in Frontlines is like trying to herd cats. You're lucky if you can get one or two where you need them to be, and luckier still if you don't cry or bleed doing it. lol
Forgot? Or repressed the memory of them so deeply I would have to hypnotize myself to recall the hurt I feel at the thought of them? >.> Honestly, I only have the Maelstrom one. The other two are on my 'to do' list, honest. lmao! How about you?
@@gamer_debbie i got 2 of them and need 40+ more wins for the last horse. Maxing out GC from first rank wasn't that bad they took me about 3 days because of the last ranks due to needing to send minions into the missions for final ranks.
@@SrBlacken Congratulations on the horses! That's no small feat! Frontlines win percentage isn't great. It's more luck than anything... But I do find it enjoyable when I'm not focused on the 'w'!
If you're looking for an FC, there are other resources like the community finder on the Lodestone, that can allow you to search for an FC that works best for you without having to resort to people recruiting in shout. Or, if you prefer, most content creators have discords and FCs in the game that you can join as well! I hope you find something that works best for you!
I think @ShermTank was just trying to help because this is a video about Grand Companies and your comment was regarding Free Companies. We just want to make sure we are giving you the best information we can! 💜
"Why are you switching sides?" Your beds are softer.

5 years playing, and I was always so worried about switching 😂 ty for this vid!
You're so welcome! 💜 Good luck collecting a bunch of new achievements!

I'm so glad it was helpful! Thank you! 💜

Im gonna be moving from gridania to limsa as limsa is where i started my journey
thazt plus i just love the city layout
Congrats on your decision to move! 💜 And I do prefer the red company garb to the yellow. And red is so in season atm. 😉
Thank you for the video. I thought GCs mattered more, but being able to switch freely and be able to rank up in each of them isn't bad at all....another task on my massive list of things to do :D

This was pretty usefull! ✨ Thanks for the info! Also I love the chill vibes ❤️
I'm so glad it was helpful to you! 💜 Thank you!
Lol the “favorite city leader” the serpent one was so accurate
There are two types of people: Gridania people, and Limsa people. And they know who they are. 😉💜
I wanted a glam from gridania with thier hunts so i did that. Not a lot fo people use GC glam
I know, right? And some of it is really nice! If I recall correctly, Gridania has some nice looking hunt coats.
Honestly the lieutenant glam pieces from Malestrom (the coat and tricorne) go great on a pirate red mage glam
Good info, thank you!

A busy adventurer has priorities! I love it! 💜
Does anybody know how to quit a free company?
If you mean GC, you go to the Headquarters of another GC and ask to become a member - they will make the switch there. You always must have a GC. If you mean FC, then you go into your FC Menu, and there is an option on one of the tabs there to leave. I hope this helps!
Do I lose my house if I switch companies?
Nope! You keep your house/apartment regardless. 💜 I hope that helps!
I will switch in like two years when i finaly get 100 wins in Frontline for that damn horse🤣
Good luck, then! 😊I only have the Maelstrom one, though I'm going for the Flames next. It's not an easy achievement, I know it just about broke me getting the 60 I needed for the Garo horse.

You can do it! 💜 Many of them are easier than you think! Some of them are much, much more difficult. lmao!
I just wanna find an FC that isn’t farming sprouts to inflate their numbers 😒
FCs and Grand Companies are two separate things - your GC does not restrict what FCs you can join and vice versa
@@ShermTank7272 I never said they did. I’m kinda confused what you’re getting at.
