FFXIV Rank Requirements for FC Submarine

Dive into the depths of Final Fantasy XIV with your Free Company's submarine! This guide details how to unlock and utilize this underwater exploration vessel, introduced in the Stormblood expansion.

Unlocking the Free Company Submarine

First, ensure your Free Company (FC) exists and ideally has reached rank 6. This rank unlocks access to the vendors selling the necessary Ceruleum Tanks. Reaching rank 6 is relatively straightforward; encourage FC members to participate in activities like dungeon clearing, leveling, crafting, and gathering.

Once at rank 6, visit your FC's workshop. Interact with the schematic board to obtain the submersible blueprint. Gather the required materials, and the submersible will be added to your FC's crafting log, ready for construction.

Next, acquire Dive Credits. These are purchased from Resident Caretaker NPCs in any housing district:

• Empyreum: X:10, Y:12
• Lavender Beds: X:12, Y:8
• The Mist: X:11, Y:11
• Shirogane: X:10, Y:14
• The Goblet: X:11, Y:10

Each Dive Credit costs 10,000 Company Credits. Remember, you need FC rank 6 to buy them.

Finally, register your crafted submersible at the voyage control panel within the FC workshop.
