ArcaneToast: /* Occult Crescent (Dawntrail) North Horn changes */

{{lead icon|Adventuring Foray.png|frame=none}} '''Field operations''', also known as '''adventuring forays''' and often referred to by players as '''exploration zones''', are endgame content for several [[expansions]] of Final Fantasy XIV. They consist of large-scale battlefield duties and raids, connected by storyline quests. These are optional and are not part of the [[Main Scenario Quests|Main Scenario]]. Each field operation has special gameplay mechanics. The ''[[Stormblood]]'', ''[[Shadowbringers]]'', and ''[[Dawntrail]]'' field operations are tied to the expansion's [[Relic Weapons]].

==[[File:Exploratory missions icon1.png|40px|link=Exploratory Missions]] Exploratory Missions (Heavensward)==

[[Exploratory Missions]], [[Heavensward]]'s original field operations version of [[the Diadem]], was replaced in [[patch 5.21]] with the current gatherer-only zone to support the [[Ishgardian Restoration]].

Retired items may still be kept in inventory but can no longer be obtained from gameplay. Tradable items may still be obtained from the Market Board or directly trading with other players.

The removed content is described in:
*[[Exploratory Missions/Old|The Diadem (Patch 3.1)]]
*[[The Diadem/Old|The Diadem (Patch 3.55b)]]

==[[File:Eureka icon2.png|40px|link=The Forbidden Land, Eureka]] The Forbidden Land, Eureka (Stormblood)==
[[File:Adventuring Foray Map.png|thumb|Entrance map marker for Eureka]]
[[The Forbidden Land, Eureka]] is the level 70 field operations series released in the [[Stormblood]] expansion. It consists of four zones allowing up to 144 players simultaneously:
*[[The Forbidden Land, Eureka Anemos]]
*[[The Forbidden Land, Eureka Pagos]]
*[[The Forbidden Land, Eureka Pyros]]
*[[The Forbidden Land, Eureka Hydatos]]

The series concludes with the optional high-end [[Baldesion Arsenal]] raid within Hydatos.

Players can obtain [[Eurekan Armor|new gear]], experience new gameplay mechanics such as [[Logos Actions]], and have the opportunity to forge [[Eurekan Weapons]], the level 70 series of Relic Weapons.

==[[File:Bozja icon2.png|40px|link=Save the Queen: Blades of Gunnhildr]] Save the Queen: Blades of Gunnhildr (Shadowbringers)==
[[Save the Queen: Blades of Gunnhildr]], called '''Bozja''' by players, is the level 80 field operations series introduced with the [[Shadowbringers]] expansion. The Save the Queen questline is a sequel to the [[Return to Ivalice]] alliance raid questline and thus requires its completion to unlock.

It comprises two 72-player battlefield duties ([[The Bozjan Southern Front]] and [[Zadnor]]), a set of normal-difficulty raids ([[Castrum Lacus Litore]], [[Delubrum Reginae]], [[The Dalriada]]), one high-end 48-player raid ([[Delubrum Reginae (Savage)]]), skirmishes (i.e. FATEs), trial-like encounters ([[Critical Engagements]]), and challenging duels.

Players can obtain [[Resistance Armor|new gear]], experience new gameplay mechanics such as [[Lost Actions]], and have the opportunity to forge [[Resistance Weapons]], the level 80 series of [[Relic Weapons]].

Unique to this field operation, the battlefield duties also allow players to level up their characters normally, making them a popular choice of leveling from 71 to 90.

==[[File:Occult Crescent Logo.png|40px|link=Occult Crescent]] Occult Crescent (Dawntrail)==
[[Occult Crescent]] is a level 100 field operations series that was released as part of the [[Dawntrail]] expansion, starting in [[patch 7.25]].

There are two installments that each contain a 72-player open zone in which players can battle in FATEs, and trial-like encounters ([[Critical Encounters]]).

* [[The Occult Crescent: South Horn]]
* [[The Occult Crescent: North Horn]]

Both zones also contain an optional 48-player raid as a conclusion to that zones story

* [[The Forked Tower: Blood]] (High-end* difficulty)
* [[The Forked Tower: Magic]] (Normal difficulty)
* [[The Forked Tower: Magic (Extreme)]] (High-end difficulty)

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Despite not being indicated with a higher difficulty label, The Forked Tower: Blood is considered a High-end duty. The separation of the second duty into two difficulties was a response to player feedback for a normal mode of the raid

Players can obtain [[Phantom Armor|new gear]], experience new gameplay mechanics such as [[Phantom Jobs]], and have the opportunity to forge [[Phantom Weapons]], the level 100 series of [[Relic Weapons]].

Raids

ArcaneToast: /* Dawntrail */ new occult crescent duties

{{lead icon|Raids icon1.png|frame=none}} '''Raids''' are the core of the [[endgame]], posing the greatest challenges and offering the strongest loot. Unlike dungeons or trials, current-tier raids have limitations on how much loot players can receive per week. These limitations are removed once the raid is old, to make it easier to catch up. Raids are almost always optional content for [[Main Scenario Quest]] progression (the only exception being the level 50 [[Alliance Raid]] series), although some raids are prerequisites for other optional questlines.
{{TOC limit|3}}
==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Normal Raids==
'''Normal raids''' are fought by 8 players usually against a single boss, similar to a [[trial]].<ref group="fn">There are a few exceptions to this formula. The first is {{i|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 3}}, which is a jumping puzzle with no boss and no substantial rewards. Another exception is {{i|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 4}}, which is a gauntlet fight with no final boss. A third exception is {{i|Alexander - The Cuff of the Father}} (both normal and savage), which also contains a gauntlet.</ref> Older raids may have other enemies or mini-bosses before the final boss, but the single-boss format has been consistent since [[Omega: Deltascape]]. Normal raids are similar in [[difficulty]] to story-difficulty trials and can be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking. The exception is the Lv. 50 Bahamut raid series, which is closer to Savage difficulty by default.

===Participation===
Normal raids are released in sets of four duties in the x.01, x.2, and x.4 patches of an expansion, for a total of 12 duties over three raid tiers in an expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. These duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first tier is required to unlock the second tier. Players who meet the minimum item level requirement for a normal raid can queue for it through Duty Finder.

===Rewards===
Normal raids drop a variety of equipment "tokens" which can be exchanged at certain vendors for high item level gear. In addition, the final duty of a current-[[expansion]] Normal raid will grant a [[Raid Tokens|Completion Reward]], of which seven can be exchanged along with 500 of the current capped tomestones for a weapon that is 10 item levels higher than current crafted gear. In a later patch, this requirement is lowered to four of the rewarded item. When a Normal raid series is current, players may obtain one token per duty and one reward item from the final floor per week. This armor/accessory token restriction is lifted in the next major patch, and the weapon token restriction is lifted a few weeks before the release of the next raid tier.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Savage Raids==
Each normal raid also has a higher-difficulty equivalent, called a '''savage raid''', which uses the same boss but with more difficult mechanics, more health, and higher outgoing damage. In addition, all Savage bosses have a time limit in which they must be defeated or they will wipe the party with an enrage ability. Savage encounters usually follow a gradually increasing difficulty curve, with the first two encounters usually comparable or slighty higher in difficulty to an Extreme trial, and the last two encounters being significantly more challenging, although there are exceptions to this trend<ref group="fn">The second-floor fights {{i|Anabaseios: The Tenth Circle (Savage)}} and {{i|AAC Cruiserweight M2 (Savage)}} are generally considered to be more difficult than the third fights in their respective tier.</ref>. Beginning with [[Omega: Deltascape (Savage)]], the final duty of each Savage raid tier is usually split into two boss encounters, with a checkpoint in between, meaning that wiping to the second phase will reset the party to the start of that phase. However, leaving the instance and resetting will require defeating the first phase again to re-acquire the checkpoint. The exceptions are [[Eden's Gate: Sepulture (Savage)]], [[Eden's Verse: Refulgence (Savage)]], [[AAC Light-heavyweight M4 (Savage)]], and [[AAC Cruiserweight M4 (Savage)]], which are long singular encounters containing boss phases exclusive to the Savage version, but no checkpoint. The first phase is usually referred to as a ''[[door boss]]'' by the community.

Since Deltascape (Savage), the first Savage tier in an expansion is deliberately tuned to be easier to allow players to become accustomed to the expansion's job changes and additions, and to encourage newer players to participate in high-end raiding. The second and third tiers are then designed to be more challenging than the first.

When a savage raid is no longer new, {{status effect|buff|the echo}} [[The Echo]] will applied to all players upon entering the duty, and the strength of this buff will not increase upon wiping. Savage raids from prior expansions are typically done with an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled) to complete them more easily, which does not impact rewards. However, some [[Battle Achievements|achievements]] require completing the final encounter of a previous savage raid tier with a full party of {{BLU}} [[Blue Mage|blue mages]] with silence [[The Echo|echo]] and level sync enabled.

===Participation===
Savage raids are released 2 weeks after normal raids in the x.05 patch of an expansion, and 1 week after the normal raid tier in the x.2 and x.4 patches<ref group="fn">Savage raid releases may be further delayed if the normal schedule causes them to coincide with major global holidays, such as Christmas or New Year's.</ref>. They can be unlocked by completing the respective Normal raid tier and associated quests, then speaking to a certain NPC depending on the raid series. Completion of the previous tier's Savage encounters is not required to unlock the current Savage tier. Savage raids are typically too difficult to be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking, so players in most data centers opt to use [[Party Finder]] for both practice and duty completion, or form "static" raid groups with other players.

Savage raids have a higher average minimum item level than the corresponding Normal raids, with the requirement for the first floor 15 item levels higher than the corresponding normal raids, the second floor being 20 item levels higher, and the third and fourth floors being 25 item levels higher. Savage raids are always released with new crafted and normal raid gear that meet the minimum item level for the last floors, along with weekly-capped tomestone gear that is 10 item levels higher. Gear purchased with the existing uncapped Allagan Tomestone will match the minimum item level for the first savage floor only.

Players who wish to aim for an early clear of the tier are strongly advised to acquire a full set of {{HQ}} ''[[High Quality]]'' crafted gear and fully [[Materia Melding|meld]] it with [[materia]] ("pentamelding"), although this is a costly process. For the second and third Savage tier of an expansion, the extreme trial that was released with the patch will drop weapons that are 5 item levels higher than the crafted weapon, providing a good starting point for players who wish to participate in the tier. The week-long (sometimes higher) delay of the second and third tiers compared to the patch also allows players to obtain 1-2 pieces of capped [[Allagan Tomestone]] gear as starter gear for progression. Pentamelded crafted gear is less important for players starting progression later due to the increased availability of capped tomestone gear.

With the advent of [[Data Center Travel]], players looking to participate in high-end duties, especially savage and ultimate raids, have started congregating in one data center per geographic region. These are
* North America: Aether
* Europe: Light
* Japan: Mana

Players on other data centers who wish to participate in current high-end content through Party Finder may find it necessary to travel to their region's primary "raiding" data center in order to form a party in a reasonable timeframe.

===Rewards===
Savage raids drop coffers that can be used to obtain equipment 20 item levels higher than the respective normal raid tier's loot. In addition, Savage raids reward items that can be used to augment the current weekly-capped tomestone equipment to the same item level as Savage gear. The final duty of each Savage raid tier rewards weapons that are at the maximum item level and exclusive mounts. For each job, the "best-in-slot" gear for a patch usually comprises a mixture of Savage gear and augmented tomestone gear based on which pieces provide the most desirable sub-stats.

Each duty in a Savage raid tier will also reward each party member with a [[Raid Tokens|book]], of which a certain number can be exchanged for equipment coffers and upgrade materials. When a Savage raid series is current, players may obtain one book per duty per week. In addition, the number of rewards that appear upon completion and can be rolled for will depend on how many players have completed the duty for the week. If one to four party members have completed the duty for the week, fewer items will appear in the treasure coffer. If five or more party members have completed the duty for the week, the treasure coffer will not appear. Unlike Normal raids, there is no restriction on how many rewards a single player can win from loot rolls as long as a chest appears. However, once a player has completed a duty for the week and leaves the instance, they will not be able to roll for loot upon defeating the boss again, regardless of whether they rolled or won any items the first time, until the weekly reset time.

Upon registering for and completing a current Savage raid, the player's weekly progress will be updated to that point, preventing them from obtaining rewards from previous raids regardless of whether they have completed them for the week. Older tiers also do not have loot restrictions.

Example: A player has yet to complete AAC Heavyweight M1 (Savage) for the week. They cannot register for Heavyweight M2 (Savage). However, they join a premade party in which the leader has completed AAC Heavyweight M1 (Savage) for the week and can register for AAC Heavyweight M2 (Savage). The player can enter AAC Heavyweight M2 (Savage), but upon entering, they will forfeit all rewards from AAC Heavyweight M1 (Savage) until the next weekly reset.

Reward eligibility is [[reset]] every Tuesday at 8:00 (GMT).
* In the event a raid is underway when reward eligibility is reset, players will still be permitted to vie for items during the upcoming week.

==[[File:Ultimate Raid.png|25px|link=]] Ultimate Raids==
Beginning with Stormblood, some raid tiers are also followed by a single '''ultimate raid''' released two weeks into the following odd-numbered major patch (i.e., x.11 or x.31). With the exception of [[Shadowbringers]], each expansion contains two ultimate raids. Ultimate raids are boss gauntlet style encounters where players encounter a series of significantly more powerful bosses from previous raids, trials, and dungeons. The final boss of an Ultimate raid is an original enemy design that was not present in earlier duties. Wiping at any point in the gauntlet will reset the encounter to the beginning. The sole exception is {{i|Dragonsong's Reprise (Ultimate)}}, which has one checkpoint after the first phase of the encounter.

===Participation===
Ultimate raids can be unlocked by completing the fourth encounter of the Savage raid tier released in the previous patch from when the ultimate raid was released. Players must form a full party of 8 people to enter an instance; matchmaking through Duty Finder or Raid Finder is unavailable. Moreover, to mostly preserve the difficulty of ultimate raids even as newer content is released, each ultimate raid has a strict item level sync and no option to complete using an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled). However, due to job overhauls and other battle system changes, older ultimate raids are currently more forgiving than when they were first released in terms of DPS, healing, and mitigation requirements, allowing much more room for error. More recent ultimate raids are also designed to be more mechanically punishing than older raids, allowing essentially no deaths outside of very specific areas.

Newly-released ultimate raids are designed for players who have maximum item level, best-in-slot gear. Note that the item level of best-in-slot armor and accessories is 5 item levels ''lower'' than the item level sync for a newly-released ultimate raid. Two major patches after an ultimate raid is released, players may acquire gear from the newly released dungeon, which will be at the same item level as the item level sync for the Ultimate raid. Unless if an ultimate raid is from a previous expansion, it is not desirable to sync down current item level gear, because sub-stats from materia melds will not carried over. For level 80 or lower ultimate raids, players are free to equip any Lv. 100 gear, as the item level sync calculations will maximize the possible sub-stats.<ref group="fn">Discord: Kupo Bot, !faq ultimatesync, accessed 22 June 2025

Many players choose to form or join "static" raid groups with other players to progress and complete ultimate raids. However, it is also possible to use Party Finder to clear them, especially for older ultimate raids, due to the presence of standardized strategies. In addition, on some data centers there are Discord servers that coordinate guided clears or party finding. While all Ultimate raids are very difficult, ''The Weapon's Refrain'' ("UWU") is considered the most accessible ultimate raid, followed by ''The Unending Coil of Bahamut'', ''The Epic of Alexander'', and ''Futures Rewritten''. The most difficult raids are generally considered to be ''Dragonsong's Reprise'' and ''The Omega Protocol''.

[[Limited Jobs|Limited jobs]] and [[Free Trial|free trial]] players cannot participate in ultimate raids.

===Rewards===
Due to their very high difficulty, ultimate raids are meant to be prestige content that is not part of normal gear progression. Ultimate raids reward [[Raid Tokens|totems]] that can be traded at certain vendors for [[Ultimate Raid Weapons|weapons]] with special particle effects. These weapons are of the same item level as the previous Savage raid tier's but contain an extra materia melding slot. Completion of ultimate raids also unlock achievements, exclusive titles, and [[Adventurer Plate]] designs. When an ultimate raid is newly-released, each party member may obtain one totem per week for completion; this restriction is lifted in the next major patch. The Adventurer Plate is also added in this patch and is automatically unlocked for anyone who cleared the raid, including before the plate was added.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Alliance Raids==
'''Alliance raids''' are fought by 24 players against a sequence of bosses and mobs, similar to a large-scale [[dungeon]]. The 24 players are divided into 3 full parties of 8 players, each consisting of 1 tank, 2 healers, and 5 DPS. These are all considered normal-difficulty content. The parties are also occasionally forced to split up and take separate routes or otherwise handle groups of enemies separately.

===Participation===
Alliance raids are released in odd-numbered patches (x.1, x.3, x.5), for a total of three alliance raids per expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. For each raid series, these duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first alliance raid of an expansion is required to unlock the second raid. To participate, players who meet the average minimum item level requirement can register using Duty Finder matchmaking.

===Rewards===
Each boss encounter in an alliance raid drops treasure chests containing equipment that can be rolled on, with the final boss also rewarding exclusive [[minion]]s, [[Triple Triad Cards]], and [[Orchestrion Roll|orchestrion rolls]]. The equipment is meant to be "catch-up" and is the same item level as current, non-augmented tomestone gear. The final boss also drops a guaranteed [[Raid Tokens|coin]], which can be exchanged at certain vendors for tomestone gear upgrade materials that were previously exclusive to the current Savage raids. When an Alliance raid is current, each player can obtain one piece of equipment and one coin per week. Alliance raids from non-current expansions do not drop coins, as the upgrade materials are obsolete.

===Additional Information===
Owing its lack of an [[item level]] sync and substantial player power creep over time, the [[Crystal Tower]] alliance raids (with the third at a lesser extent) have become very easy duties that are often completed with little difficulty, to the point where mechanics on several bosses are ignored or outright skipped. As a result, many guides include mechanics that players will normally not experience unless on minimum [[Item Level|item level]] mode. Owing to this, players have developed a technique to deliberately lower their item level in the Alliance Roulette, so that it would select a Crystal Tower raid by default. As a result, the developers decided to implement item level restrictions for the {{i|Duty Roulette: Alliance Raids|alt=Duty Roulette: Alliance Raids}} in [[Patch 6.5]], as to increase its diversity.

==[[File:Chaotic Alliance Raid.png|25px|link=]] Chaotic Alliance Raids==
'''Chaotic alliance raids''' are high-difficulty 24-player alliance raids fought against a single boss from previous alliance raids. The [[difficulty]] is comparable to a first or second-floor savage raid.

===Participation===
The first chaotic alliance raid was released one week after [[patch 7.15]]. It can be unlocked by completing {{i|Dawntrail (Quest)}} and then talking to the [[Wandering Minstrel]]. To participate, players can form pre-made parties via [[Party Finder]] before queuing in [[Raid Finder]]. Unlike regular alliance raids, chaotic raids are balanced around having 3 full parties each consisting of 2 tanks, 2 healers, and 4 DPS. However, pre-made parties can queue with a minimum of 12 players, although the difficulty will not be re-scaled.

===Rewards===
The first raid drops item level 730 armor, 2 [[mount]]s, a [[minion]], and a [[hairstyle]]. Some rewards can also be sold on the [[Market Board]]. In addition, each player will receive tokens that can be exchanged for rewards. The equipment has different [[substats]], which made certain pieces best-in-slot for specific jobs at the the time of release.

Unlike other current raids, there are no weekly restrictions on loot.

There are two additional loot bonuses:
*'''First Time Duty Bonus''': Additional tokens will be rewarded in proportion to the number of alliance members new to the duty.
*'''Limited Time Bonus''': A randomly occurring reward bonus<ref group="fn">The spawn "rules" for the bonus window are as follows:
*The window may begin at 3:00, 9:00, 15:00, or 21:00 GMT (24-hour clock) for all data centers.
*The time period may last for 3, 6, 9, or 12 hours, which is determined randomly per data center.
*After the window ends, there will be a cooldown of minimum 24 hours before another window can occur. There will then be a chance for a bonus window to start every 6 hours.
*The maximum cooldown is 48 hours, after which the bonus window will forcibly start.

Entering the duty during the bonus window will cause it to apply for the entirety of the instance, even if the fight is cleared after the bonus window expires.
</ref> that persists for several hours. Entering the duty during this period will give improved drop rates and additional tokens upon completion.

==[[File:Adventuring Foray.png|25px|link=]] Field Operations==
'''[[Field Operations]]''', previously known as '''Exploratory Missions''', contain large-scale content commonly categorized by players as a raid.<ref group="fn">Although commonly referred to by players as a "raid" due to its large-scale, cooperative combat against shared enemies, this designation is unofficial. In official in-game references such as the [[Challenge Log]] and [[Party Finder]], this content is categorized as "Field Operations". Many players will use the terms "raid", "open dungeon", and "duty" interchangeably to refer to this type of content.</ref> These often have unique entry requirements, high player counts, and vary in [[difficulty]]. They are generally not tied to the core item level progression of your character aside from progressing [[Relic Weapon]] quests. This content is not found within the Duty Finder and requires interacting with a specific NPC to enter.

These duties are most comparable to [[Alliance Raids]] and often include unique mechanics that require a higher level of coordination to succeed. Some of these duties found within Field Operations take place within Field Operation zones instead of being separate instances, as the {{i|The Baldesion Arsenal}}, {{i|The Dalriada}}, and {{i|The Forked Tower: Blood}}.

Field operation raids may either be of normal difficulty or high-end difficulty. While high-end field operations have boss mechanics that comparable to extreme trials to savage raids, individual responsibility is generally lower due to the large number of participants involved. Much of the challenge lies in complex encounter design and large-scale puzzle mechanics that necessitate organized group play. Furthermore, players are typically affected by the debuff [[File:Resurrection restricted icon1.png|link=Resurrect#Limitations]] '''Resurrection Restricted''', which prevents revival through most standard means, making mistakes more punishing.

===Participation===
Unlock and entry to these duties are associated with their respective [[field operations]] systems and progression. Each of these raids allows the usage of Field Operation specific Duty Actions (See: [[Logos Actions]], [[Lost Actions]] and [[Phantom Job]]), that are sometimes required to progress, or provide unique benefits and power boosts to your character. Similar to [[Variant Dungeons]], there are no job or minimum party size requirements, however low player counts can make these duties incredibly challenging or impossible to complete. Due to their unique participation requirements, and not being accessible via the [[Duty Finder]], it is not possible to enter these instances with duty finder settings such as [[Unrestricted Party]] enabled.

Normal-difficulty field operation raids can feasibly be completed with random players without much coordination needed. However, it may be more difficult to find groups for older raids, so methods such as [[Party Finder]] (formed outside the field operation) may be needed. In North American and European data centers, high-end field operation raids require a premade group to complete due to the requirements for specific Duty Actions. Rosters are typically formed in various [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10qnOxc4FsbMKNVaezwTBDlUXEjclXsFiScXvaJVQvDw/edit?gid=395886512#gid=395886512 Discord servers] that are dedicated to field operations.

===Rewards===
Each of these encounters rewards are specific to their respective field operations system. They often provide materials for a [[Relic Weapon]] as well as [[achievements]], expansion-specific [[tomestones]] and unique [[mounts]].

==Item Level Sync==
Unlike dungeons, most raids do not have item level syncs, which means your item level will be synced to the maximum obtainable gear at the job level you are synced to. This over time can make raids rather trivial, especially if they have a low minimum item level compared to the max obtainable for the expansion. For example, Alexander: The Fist of the Father has a minimum item level of 170, but high level players joining from Roulettes will often be synced to only 270/275, making the fight much shorter and less healing intensive than the original experience. Players that are looking for a more engaging and balanced experience may want to consider doing certain raids in a preformed group via Party Finder with the Minimum Item Level option enabled. This will adjust the gear for all involved to provide an experience somewhat closer to the original release.

Note that Minimum Item Level will only make the content as hard as the developers designed it to be at that item level. Normal Raids - with the exception of Coils of Bahamut - will still be easily clearable, while Savage Raids can be expected to generally be extremely brutal on this setting.

==Achievements==
Raid completion is associated generally with the following [[achievements]]:

{| {{STDT|mech1}}
{{achievement table header}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons I}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons II}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons III}}

ArcaneToast: /* Occult Crescent (Dawntrail) */ links to new zones

{{lead icon|Adventuring Foray.png|frame=none}} '''Field operations''', also known as '''adventuring forays''' and often referred to by players as '''exploration zones''', are endgame content for several [[expansions]] of Final Fantasy XIV. They consist of large-scale battlefield duties and raids, connected by storyline quests. These are optional and are not part of the [[Main Scenario Quests|Main Scenario]]. Each field operation has special gameplay mechanics. The ''[[Stormblood]]'', ''[[Shadowbringers]]'', and ''[[Dawntrail]]'' field operations are tied to the expansion's [[Relic Weapons]].

==[[File:Exploratory missions icon1.png|40px|link=Exploratory Missions]] Exploratory Missions (Heavensward)==

[[Exploratory Missions]], [[Heavensward]]'s original field operations version of [[the Diadem]], was replaced in [[patch 5.21]] with the current gatherer-only zone to support the [[Ishgardian Restoration]].

Retired items may still be kept in inventory but can no longer be obtained from gameplay. Tradable items may still be obtained from the Market Board or directly trading with other players.

The removed content is described in:

[[The Forbidden Land, Eureka]] is the level 70 field operations series released in the [[Stormblood]] expansion. It consists of four zones allowing up to 144 players simultaneously:
*[[The Forbidden Land, Eureka Anemos]]
*[[The Forbidden Land, Eureka Pagos]]
*[[The Forbidden Land, Eureka Pyros]]
*[[The Forbidden Land, Eureka Hydatos]]

The series concludes with the optional high-end [[Baldesion Arsenal]] raid within Hydatos.

Players can obtain [[Eurekan Armor|new gear]], experience new gameplay mechanics such as [[Logos Actions]], and have the opportunity to forge [[Eurekan Weapons]], the level 70 series of Relic Weapons.

==[[File:Bozja icon2.png|40px|link=Save the Queen: Blades of Gunnhildr]] Save the Queen: Blades of Gunnhildr (Shadowbringers)==
[[Save the Queen: Blades of Gunnhildr]], called '''Bozja''' by players, is the level 80 field operations series introduced with the [[Shadowbringers]] expansion. The Save the Queen questline is a sequel to the [[Return to Ivalice]] alliance raid questline and thus requires its completion to unlock.

It comprises two 72-player battlefield duties ([[The Bozjan Southern Front]] and [[Zadnor]]), a set of normal-difficulty raids ([[Castrum Lacus Litore]], [[Delubrum Reginae]], [[The Dalriada]]), one high-end 48-player raid ([[Delubrum Reginae (Savage)]]), skirmishes (i.e. FATEs), trial-like encounters ([[Critical Engagements]]), and challenging duels.

Players can obtain [[Resistance Armor|new gear]], experience new gameplay mechanics such as [[Lost Actions]], and have the opportunity to forge [[Resistance Weapons]], the level 80 series of [[Relic Weapons]].

Unique to this field operation, the battlefield duties also allow players to level up their characters normally, making them a popular choice of leveling from 71 to 90.

==[[File:Occult Crescent Logo.png|40px|link=Occult Crescent]] Occult Crescent (Dawntrail)==
[[Occult Crescent]] is a level 100 field operations series that was released as part of the [[Dawntrail]] expansion, starting in [[patch 7.25]].

There are two installments that each contain a 72-player open zone ([[The Occult Crescent: South Horn]] and [[The Occult Crescent: North Horn]]), two 48-player raids ([[The Forked Tower: Blood]] (high-end), [[The Forked Tower: Magic]] (normal-difficulty), [[The Forked Tower: Magic (Extreme)]] (high-end)), the latter of which has two difficulty options, FATEs, and trial-like encounters ([[Critical Encounters]]).

Players can obtain [[Phantom Armor|new gear]], experience new gameplay mechanics such as [[Phantom Jobs]], and have the opportunity to forge [[Phantom Weapons]], the level 100 series of [[Relic Weapons]].

[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] '''Raids''' are the core of the [[endgame]], posing the greatest challenges and offering the strongest loot. Unlike dungeons or trials, current-tier raids have limitations on how much loot players can receive per week. These limitations are removed once the raid is old, to make it easier to catch up. Raids are almost always optional content for [[Main Scenario Quest]] progression (the only exception being the level 50 [[Alliance Raid]] series), although some raids are prerequisites for other optional questlines.
{{TOC limit|3}}
==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Normal Raids==
'''Normal raids''' are fought by 8 players usually against a single boss, similar to a [[trial]].<ref group="fn">There are a few exceptions to this formula. The first is {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 3}}, which is a jumping puzzle with no boss and no substantial rewards. Another exception is {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 4}}, which is a gauntlet fight with no final boss. A third exception is {{questlink|raid|Alexander - The Cuff of the Father}} (both normal and savage), which also contains a gauntlet.</ref> Older raids may have other enemies or mini-bosses before the final boss, but the single-boss format has been consistent since [[Omega: Deltascape]]. Normal raids are similar in [[difficulty]] to story-difficulty trials and can be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking. The exception is the Lv. 50 Bahamut raid series, which is closer to Savage difficulty by default.

===Participation===
Normal raids are released in sets of four duties in the x.01, x.2, and x.4 patches of an expansion, for a total of 12 duties over three raid tiers in an expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. These duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first tier is required to unlock the second tier. Players who meet the minimum item level requirement for a normal raid can queue for it through Duty Finder.

===Rewards===
Normal raids drop a variety of equipment "tokens" which can be exchanged at certain vendors for high item level gear. In addition, the final duty of a current-[[expansion]] Normal raid will grant a [[Raid Tokens|Completion Reward]], of which seven can be exchanged along with 500 of the current capped tomestones for a weapon that is 10 item levels higher than current crafted gear. In a later patch, this requirement is lowered to four of the rewarded item. When a Normal raid series is current, players may obtain one token per duty and one reward item from the final floor per week. This restriction is usually lifted a few weeks before the release of the next raid tier.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Savage Raids==
Each normal raid also has a higher-difficulty equivalent, called a '''savage raid''', which uses the same boss but with more difficult mechanics, more health, and higher outgoing damage. In addition, all Savage bosses have a time limit in which they must be defeated or they will wipe the party with an enrage ability. Savage encounters usually follow a gradually increasing difficulty curve, with the first two encounters usually comparable or slighty higher in difficulty to an Extreme trial, and the last two encounters being significantly more challenging, although there are exceptions to this trend<ref group="fn">The second-floor fights {{questlink|raid|Anabaseios: The Tenth Circle (Savage)}} and {{questlink|raid|AAC Cruiserweight M2 (Savage)}} are generally considered to be more difficult than the third fights in their respective tier.</ref>. Beginning with [[Omega: Deltascape (Savage)]], the final duty of each Savage raid tier is usually split into two boss encounters, with a checkpoint in between, meaning that wiping to the second phase will reset the party to the start of that phase. However, leaving the instance and resetting will require defeating the first phase again to re-acquire the checkpoint. The exceptions are [[Eden's Gate: Sepulture (Savage)]], [[Eden's Verse: Refulgence (Savage)]], [[AAC Light-heavyweight M4 (Savage)]], and [[AAC Cruiserweight M4 (Savage)]], which are long singular encounters containing boss phases exclusive to the Savage version, but no checkpoint. The first phase is usually referred to as a ''[[door boss]]'' by the community.

Since Deltascape (Savage), the first Savage tier in an expansion is deliberately tuned to be easier to allow players to become accustomed to the expansion's job changes and additions, and to encourage newer players to participate in high-end raiding. The second and third tiers are then designed to be more challenging than the first.

When a savage raid is no longer new, {{buff|the echo}} [[The Echo]] will applied to all players upon entering the duty, and the strength of this buff will not increase upon wiping. Savage raids from prior expansions are typically done with an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled) to complete them more easily, which does not impact rewards. However, some [[Battle Achievements|achievements]] require completing the final encounter of a previous savage raid tier with a full party of {{BLU}} [[Blue Mage|blue mages]] with silence [[The Echo|echo]] and level sync enabled.

===Participation===
Savage raids are released 2 weeks after normal raids in the x.05 patch of an expansion, and 1 week after the normal raid tier in the x.2 and x.4 patches. They can be unlocked by completing the respective Normal raid tier and associated quests, then speaking to a certain NPC depending on the raid series. Completion of the previous tier's Savage encounters is not required to unlock the current Savage tier. Savage raids are typically too difficult to be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking, so players in most data centers opt to use [[Party Finder]] for both practice and duty completion, or form "static" raid groups with other players.

Savage raids have a higher average minimum item level than the corresponding Normal raids, with the requirement for the first floor 15 item levels higher than the corresponding normal raids, the second floor being 20 item levels higher, and the third and fourth floors being 25 item levels higher. Savage raids are always released with new crafted and normal raid gear that meet the minimum item level for the last floors, along with weekly-capped tomestone gear that is 10 item levels higher. Gear purchased with the existing uncapped Allagan Tomestone will match the minimum item level for the first savage floor only. Players who wish to aim for an early clear of the tier are strongly advised to acquire a full set of {{HQ}} ''[[High Quality]]'' crafted gear and fully [[Materia Melding|meld]] it with [[materia]] ("pentamelding"), although this is a costly process. For the second and third Savage tier of an expansion, the extreme trial that was released with the patch will drop weapons that are 5 item levels higher than the crafted weapon, providing a good starting point for players who wish to participate in the tier.

With the advent of [[Data Center Travel]], players looking to participate in high-end duties, especially savage and ultimate raids, have started congregating in one data center per geographic region. These are
* North America: Aether
* Europe: Light
* Japan: Mana

Players on other data centers who wish to participate in current high-end content through Party Finder may find it necessary to travel to their region's primary "raiding" data center in order to form a party in a reasonable timeframe.

===Rewards===
Savage raids drop coffers that can be used to obtain equipment 20 item levels higher than the respective normal raid tier's loot. In addition, Savage raids reward items that can be used to augment the current weekly-capped tomestone equipment to the same item level as Savage gear. The final duty of each Savage raid tier rewards weapons that are at the maximum item level and exclusive mounts. For each job, the "best-in-slot" gear for a patch usually comprises a mixture of Savage gear and augmented tomestone gear based on which pieces provide the most desirable sub-stats.

Each duty in a Savage raid tier will also reward each party member with a [[Raid Tokens|book]], of which a certain number can be exchanged for equipment coffers and upgrade materials. When a Savage raid series is current, players may obtain one book per duty per week. In addition, the number of rewards that appear upon completion and can be rolled for will depend on how many players have completed the duty for the week. If one to four party members have completed the duty for the week, fewer items will appear in the treasure coffer. If more than five party members have completed the duty for the week, the treasure coffer will not appear. Unlike Normal raids, there is no restriction on how many rewards a single player can win from loot rolls as long as a chest appears. However, once a player has completed a duty for the week and leaves the instance, they will not be able to roll for loot upon defeating the boss again, regardless of whether they rolled or won any items the first time, until the weekly reset time.

Upon registering for and completing a current Savage raid, the player's weekly progress will be updated to that point, preventing them from obtaining rewards from previous raids regardless of whether they have completed them for the week. Older tiers also do not have loot restrictions.

Example: A player has yet to complete AAC Cruiserweight M1 (Savage) for the week. They cannot register for Cruiserweight M2 (Savage). However, they join a premade party in which the leader has completed AAC Cruiserweight M1 (Savage) for the week and can register for AAC Cruiserweight M2 (Savage). The player can enter AAC Cruiserweight M2 (Savage), but upon entering, they will forfeit all rewards from AAC Cruiserweight M1 (Savage) until the next weekly reset.

Reward eligibility is [[reset]] every Tuesday at 8:00 (GMT).
* In the event a raid is underway when reward eligibility is reset, players will still be permitted to vie for items during the upcoming week.

==[[File:Ultimate Raid.png|25px|link=]] Ultimate Raids==
Beginning with Stormblood, some raid tiers are also followed by a single '''ultimate raid''' released two weeks into the following odd-numbered major patch (i.e., x.11 or x.31). With the exception of [[Shadowbringers]], each expansion contains two ultimate raids. Ultimate raids are boss gauntlet style encounters where players encounter a series of significantly more powerful bosses from previous raids, trials, and dungeons. The final boss of an Ultimate raid is an original enemy design that was not present in earlier duties. Wiping at any point in the gauntlet will reset the encounter to the beginning. The sole exception is {{questlink|ultimateraid|Dragonsong's Reprise (Ultimate)}}, which has one checkpoint after the first phase of the encounter.

===Participation===
Ultimate raids can be unlocked by completing the fourth encounter of the Savage raid tier released in the previous patch from when the ultimate raid was released. Players must form a full party of 8 people to enter an instance; matchmaking through Duty Finder or Raid Finder is unavailable. Moreover, to mostly preserve the difficulty of ultimate raids even as newer content is released, each ultimate raid has a strict item level sync and no option to complete using an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled). However, due to job overhauls and other battle system changes, older ultimate raids are currently more forgiving than when they were first released in terms of DPS, healing, and mitigation requirements, allowing much more room for error. More recent ultimate raids are also designed to be more mechanically punishing than older raids, allowing essentially no deaths outside of very specific areas.

Newly-released ultimate raids are designed for players who have maximum item level, best-in-slot gear. Note that the item level of best-in-slot armor and accessories is 5 item levels ''lower'' than the item level sync for a newly-released ultimate raid. Two major patches after an ultimate raid is released, players may acquire gear from the newly released dungeon, which will be at the same item level as the item level sync for the Ultimate raid. Unless if an ultimate raid is from a previous expansion, it is not desirable to sync down current item level gear, because sub-stats from materia melds will not carried over. For level 80 or lower ultimate raids, players are free to equip any Lv. 100 gear, as the item level sync calculations will maximize the possible sub-stats.<ref group="fn">Discord: Kupo Bot, !faq ultimatesync, accessed 10 February 2025

Many players choose to form or join "static" raid groups with other players to progress and complete ultimate raids. However, it is also possible to use Party Finder to clear them, especially for older ultimate raids, due to the presence of standardized strategies. In addition, on some data centers there are Discord servers that coordinate guided clears or party finding. While all Ultimate raids are very difficult, ''The Weapon's Refrain'' ("UWU") is considered the most accessible ultimate raid, followed by ''The Unending Coil of Bahamut'', ''The Epic of Alexander'', and ''Futures Rewritten''. The most difficult raids are generally considered to be ''Dragonsong's Reprise'' and ''The Omega Protocol''.

[[Limited Jobs|Limited jobs]] and [[Free Trial|free trial]] players cannot participate in ultimate raids.

===Rewards===
Due to their very high difficulty, ultimate raids are meant to be prestige content that is not part of normal gear progression. Ultimate raids reward [[Raid Tokens|totems]] that can be traded at certain vendors for weapons with special particle effects. These weapons are of the same item level as the previous Savage raid tier's but contain an extra materia melding slot. Completion of ultimate raids also unlock achievements, exclusive titles, and [[Adventurer Plate]] designs. When an ultimate raid is newly-released, each party member may obtain one totem per week for completion; this restriction is lifted in the next major patch. The Adventurer Plate is also added in this patch and is automatically unlocked for anyone who cleared the raid, including before the plate was added.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Alliance Raids==
'''Alliance raids''' are fought by 24 players against a sequence of bosses and mobs, similar to a large-scale [[dungeon]]. The 24 players are divided into 3 full parties of 8 players, each consisting of 1 tank, 2 healers, and 5 DPS. These are all considered normal-difficulty content. All party's tanks are expected to [[Enmity|run stance]] since there are no off-tanks in alliance raids. The parties are also occasionally forced to split up and take separate routes or otherwise handle groups of enemies separately.

===Participation===
Alliance raids are released in odd-numbered patches (x.1, x.3, x.5), for a total of three alliance raids per expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. For each raid series, these duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first alliance raid of an expansion is required to unlock the second raid. To participate, players who meet the average minimum item level requirement can register using Duty Finder matchmaking.

===Rewards===
Each boss encounter in an alliance raid drops treasure chests containing equipment that can be rolled on, with the final boss also rewarding exclusive [[minion]]s, [[Triple Triad Cards]], and [[orchestrion rolls]]. The equipment is meant to be "catch-up" and is the same item item level as current, non-augmented tomestone gear. The final boss also drops a guaranteed [[Raid Tokens|coin]], which can be exchanged at certain vendors for tomestone gear upgrade materials that were previously exclusive to the current Savage raids. When an Alliance raid is current, each player can obtain one piece of equipment and one coin per week.

===Additional Information===
Owing its lack of an [[item level]] sync and substantial player power creep over time, the [[Crystal Tower]] alliance raids (with the third at a lesser extent) have become tediously easy duties that are often completed with little difficulty, to the point where mechanics on several bosses are ignored or outright skipped. As a result, many guides include mechanics that players will normally not experience unless on minimum [[Item Level|item level]] mode. Owing to this, players have developed a technique to deliberately lower their item level in the Alliance Roulette, so that it would select a Crystal Tower raid by default. As a result, the developers decided to implement item level restrictions for the {{questlink|dutyroulette|Duty Roulette: Alliance Raids}} in [[Patch 6.5]], as to increase its diversity.

==[[File:Chaotic Alliance Raid.png|25px|link=]] Chaotic Alliance Raids==
'''Chaotic alliance raids''' are high-difficulty 24-player alliance raids fought against a single boss from previous alliance raids. The [[difficulty]] is comparable to a first or second-floor savage raid.

===Participation===
The first chaotic alliance raid was released one week after [[patch 7.15]]. It can be unlocked by completing {{questlink|main|Dawntrail (Quest)}} and then talking to the [[Wandering Minstrel]]. To participate, players can form pre-made parties via [[Party Finder]] before queuing in [[Raid Finder]]. Unlike regular alliance raids, chaotic raids are balanced around having 3 full parties each consisting of 2 tanks, 2 healers, and 4 DPS. However, pre-made parties can queue with a minimum of 12 players, although the difficulty will not be re-scaled.

===Rewards===
The first raid drops item level 730 armor, 2 [[mount]]s, a [[minion]], and a [[hairstyle]]. Some rewards can also be sold on the [[Market Board]]. In addition, each player will receive tokens that can be exchanged for rewards. The equipment has different [[substats]], which made certain pieces best-in-slot for specific jobs at the the time of release.

Unlike other current raids, there are no weekly restrictions on loot.

There are two additional loot bonuses:
*'''First Time Duty Bonus''': Additional tokens will be rewarded in proportion to the number of alliance members new to the duty.
*'''Limited Time Bonus''': A randomly occurring reward bonus<ref group="fn">The spawn "rules" for the bonus window are as follows:
*The window may begin at 3:00, 9:00, 15:00, or 21:00 GMT (24-hour clock) for all data centers.
*The time period may last for 3, 6, 9, or 12 hours, which is determined randomly per data center.
*After the window ends, there will be a cooldown of minimum 24 hours before another window can occur. There will then be a chance for a bonus window to start every 6 hours.
*The maximum cooldown is 48 hours, after which the bonus window will forcibly start.

Entering the duty during the bonus window will cause it to apply for the entirety of the instance, even if the fight is cleared after the bonus window expires.
</ref> that persists for several hours. Entering the duty during this period will give improved drop rates and additional tokens upon completion.

==[[File:Adventuring Foray.png|25px|link=]] Field Operation Raids==
'''Field Operation Raids''' do not fit the standard description or categorization of other "Raids" in Final Fantasy XIV. These are related to multiple expansions' [[field operations]] and often have unique entry requirements, high player counts, and vary in [[Difficulty]]. They are generally not tied to the core item level progression of your character aside from progressing [[Relic Weapon]] quests. These duties are most comparable to [[Alliance Raids]], and often feature unique mechanics that require a higher level of coordination between players to emerge victorious.

''It's worth noting: The game doesn't consistently refer to this content as a "raid" or any specific category, as it doesn't exist in the Duty Finder. These battles have been referred to as a "raid", "open dungeon", and "duty", despite being the same vein of content.''

===Participation===
Unlock and entry to these duties are associated with their respective [[field operations]] systems and progression. Each of these raids allows the usage of Field Operation specific Duty Actions (See: [[Logos Actions]], [[Lost Actions]] and [[Phantom Job]]), that are sometimes required to progress, or provide unique benefits and power boosts to your character. Similar to [[Variant Dungeons]], there are no job or minimum party size requirements, however low player counts can make these duties incredibly challenging or impossible to complete. Due to their unique participation requirements, and not being accessible via the [[Duty Finder]], it is not possible to enter these instances with duty finder settings such as [[Unrestricted Party]] enabled.

===Rewards===
Each of these encounters rewards are specific to their respective field operations system. They often provide materials for a [[Relic Weapon]] as well as [[achievements]], expansion-specific [[tomestones]] and unique [[mounts]].

'''It's worth noting that {{questlink|eureka|The Baldesion Arsenal}}, {{questlink|bsf|Delubrum Reginae (Savage)}} and {{questlink|oc|Forked Tower}} are considered high-end duties.''' Although comparable to savage raids, there is generally less personal responsibility, with some exceptions, due to the large number of players required to take part. Much of the challenge comes in the form of the uniquely designed encounters and puzzles that make use of large organized raids. Additionally, players cannot be raised by most standard actions and will have the debuff [[File:Resurrection restricted icon1.png|link=Resurrect#Limitations]] '''Resurrection Restricted''' making deaths more punishing.

==Item Level Sync==
Unlike dungeons, most raids do not have item level syncs, which means your item level will be synced to the maximum obtainable gear at the job level you are synced to. This over time can make raids rather trivial, especially if they have a low minimum item level compared to the max obtainable for the expansion. For example, Alexander: The Fist of the Father has a minimum item level of 170, but high level players joining from Roulettes will often be synced to only 270/275, making the fight much shorter and less healing intensive than the original experience. Players that are looking for a more engaging and balanced experience may want to consider doing certain raids in a preformed group via Party Finder with the Minimum Item Level option enabled. This will adjust the gear for all involved to provide an experience somewhat closer to the original release.

Note that Minimum Item Level will only make the content as hard as the developers designed it to be at that item level. Normal Raids - with the exception of Coils of Bahamut - will still be easily clearable, while Savage Raids can be expected to generally be extremely brutal on this setting.

==Achievements==
Raid completion is associated generally with the following [[achievements]]:

{| {{STDT|mech1}}
{{achievement table header}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons I}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons II}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons III}}

[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] '''Raids''' are the core of the [[endgame]], posing the greatest challenges and offering the strongest loot. Unlike dungeons or trials, current-tier raids have limitations on how much loot players can receive per week. These limitations are removed once the raid is old, to make it easier to catch up. Raids are almost always optional content for [[Main Scenario Quest]] progression (the only exception being the level 50 [[Alliance Raid]] series), although some raids are prerequisites for other optional questlines.
{{TOC limit|3}}
==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Normal Raids==
'''Normal raids''' are fought by 8 players usually against a single boss, similar to a [[trial]].<ref group="fn">There are a few exceptions to this formula. The first is {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 3}}, which is a jumping puzzle with no boss and no substantial rewards. Another exception is {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 4}}, which is a gauntlet fight with no final boss. A third exception is {{questlink|raid|Alexander - The Cuff of the Father}} (both normal and savage), which also contains a gauntlet.</ref> Older raids may have other enemies or mini-bosses before the final boss, but the single-boss format has been consistent since [[Omega: Deltascape]]. Normal raids are similar in [[difficulty]] to story-difficulty trials and can be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking. The exception is the Lv. 50 Bahamut raid series, which is closer to Savage difficulty by default.

===Participation===
Normal raids are released in sets of four duties in the x.01, x.2, and x.4 patches of an expansion, for a total of 12 duties over three raid tiers in an expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. These duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first tier is required to unlock the second tier. Players who meet the minimum item level requirement for a normal raid can queue for it through Duty Finder.

===Rewards===
Normal raids drop a variety of equipment "tokens" which can be exchanged at certain vendors for high item level gear. In addition, the final duty of a current-[[expansion]] Normal raid will grant a [[Raid Tokens|Completion Reward]], of which seven can be exchanged along with 500 of the current capped tomestones for a weapon that is 10 item levels higher than current crafted gear. In a later patch, this requirement is lowered to four of the rewarded item. When a Normal raid series is current, players may obtain one token per duty and one reward item from the final floor per week. This restriction is usually lifted a few weeks before the release of the next raid tier.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Savage Raids==
Each normal raid also has a higher-difficulty equivalent, called a '''savage raid''', which uses the same boss but with more difficult mechanics, more health, and higher outgoing damage. In addition, all Savage bosses have a time limit in which they must be defeated or they will wipe the party with an enrage ability. Savage encounters usually follow a gradually increasing difficulty curve, with the first two encounters usually comparable or slighty higher in difficulty to an Extreme trial, and the last two encounters being significantly more challenging, although there are exceptions to this trend<ref group="fn">The second-floor fights {{questlink|raid|Anabaseios: The Tenth Circle (Savage)}} and {{questlink|raid|AAC Cruiserweight M2 (Savage)}} are generally considered to be more difficult than the third fights in their respective tier.</ref>. Beginning with [[Omega: Deltascape (Savage)]], the final duty of each Savage raid tier is usually split into two boss encounters, with a checkpoint in between, meaning that wiping to the second phase will reset the party to the start of that phase. However, leaving the instance and resetting will require defeating the first phase again to re-acquire the checkpoint. The exceptions are [[Eden's Gate: Sepulture (Savage)]], [[Eden's Verse: Refulgence (Savage)]], [[AAC Light-heavyweight M4 (Savage)]], and [[AAC Cruiserweight M4 (Savage)]], which are long singular encounters containing boss phases exclusive to the Savage version, but no checkpoint. The first phase is usually referred to as a ''[[door boss]]'' by the community.

Since Deltascape (Savage), the first Savage tier in an expansion is deliberately tuned to be easier to allow players to become accustomed to the expansion's job changes and additions, and to encourage newer players to participate in high-end raiding. The second and third tiers are then designed to be more challenging than the first.

When a savage raid is no longer new, {{buff|the echo}} [[The Echo]] will applied to all players upon entering the duty, and the strength of this buff will not increase upon wiping. Savage raids from prior expansions are typically done with an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled) to complete them more easily, which does not impact rewards. However, some [[Battle Achievements|achievements]] require completing the final encounter of a previous savage raid tier with a full party of {{BLU}} [[Blue Mage|blue mages]] with silence [[The Echo|echo]] and level sync enabled.

===Participation===
Savage raids are released 2 weeks after normal raids in the x.05 patch of an expansion, and 1 week after the normal raid tier in the x.2 and x.4 patches. They can be unlocked by completing the respective Normal raid tier and associated quests, then speaking to a certain NPC depending on the raid series. Completion of the previous tier's Savage encounters is not required to unlock the current Savage tier. Savage raids are typically too difficult to be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking, so players in most data centers opt to use [[Party Finder]] for both practice and duty completion, or form "static" raid groups with other players.

Savage raids have a higher average minimum item level than the corresponding Normal raids, with the requirement for the first floor 15 item levels higher than the corresponding normal raids, the second floor being 20 item levels higher, and the third and fourth floors being 25 item levels higher. Savage raids are always released with new crafted and normal raid gear that meet the minimum item level for the last floors, along with weekly-capped tomestone gear that is 10 item levels higher. Gear purchased with the existing uncapped Allagan Tomestone will match the minimum item level for the first savage floor only. Players who wish to aim for an early clear of the tier are strongly advised to acquire a full set of {{HQ}} ''[[High Quality]]'' crafted gear and fully [[Materia Melding|meld]] it with [[materia]] ("pentamelding"), although this is a costly process. For the second and third Savage tier of an expansion, the extreme trial that was released with the patch will drop weapons that are 5 item levels higher than the crafted weapon, providing a good starting point for players who wish to participate in the tier.

With the advent of [[Data Center Travel]], players looking to participate in high-end duties, especially savage and ultimate raids, have started congregating in one data center per geographic region. These are
* North America: Aether
* Europe: Light
* Japan: Mana

Players on other data centers who wish to participate in current high-end content through Party Finder may find it necessary to travel to their region's primary "raiding" data center in order to form a party in a reasonable timeframe.

===Rewards===
Savage raids drop coffers that can be used to obtain equipment 20 item levels higher than the respective normal raid tier's loot. In addition, Savage raids reward items that can be used to augment the current weekly-capped tomestone equipment to the same item level as Savage gear. The final duty of each Savage raid tier rewards weapons that are at the maximum item level and exclusive mounts. For each job, the "best-in-slot" gear for a patch usually comprises a mixture of Savage gear and augmented tomestone gear based on which pieces provide the most desirable sub-stats.

Each duty in a Savage raid tier will also reward each party member with a [[Raid Tokens|book]], of which a certain number can be exchanged for equipment coffers and upgrade materials. When a Savage raid series is current, players may obtain one book per duty per week. In addition, the number of rewards that appear upon completion and can be rolled for will depend on how many players have completed the duty for the week. If one to four party members have completed the duty for the week, fewer items will appear in the treasure coffer. If more than five party members have completed the duty for the week, the treasure coffer will not appear. Unlike Normal raids, there is no restriction on how many rewards a single player can win from loot rolls as long as a chest appears. However, once a player has completed a duty for the week and leaves the instance, they will not be able to roll for loot upon defeating the boss again, regardless of whether they rolled or won any items the first time, until the weekly reset time.

Upon registering for and completing a current Savage raid, the player's weekly progress will be updated to that point, preventing them from obtaining rewards from previous raids regardless of whether they have completed them for the week. Older tiers also do not have loot restrictions.

Example: A player has yet to complete AAC Cruiserweight M1 (Savage) for the week. They cannot register for Cruiserweight M2 (Savage). However, they join a premade party in which the leader has completed AAC Cruiserweight M1 (Savage) for the week and can register for AAC Cruiserweight M2 (Savage). The player can enter AAC Cruiserweight M2 (Savage), but upon entering, they will forfeit all rewards from AAC Cruiserweight M1 (Savage) until the next weekly reset.

Reward eligibility is [[reset]] every Tuesday at 8:00 (GMT).
* In the event a raid is underway when reward eligibility is reset, players will still be permitted to vie for items during the upcoming week.

==[[File:Ultimate Raid.png|25px|link=]] Ultimate Raids==
Beginning with Stormblood, some raid tiers are also followed by a single '''ultimate raid''' released two weeks into the following odd-numbered major patch (i.e., x.11 or x.31). With the exception of [[Shadowbringers]], each expansion contains two ultimate raids. Ultimate raids are boss gauntlet style encounters where players encounter a series of significantly more powerful bosses from previous raids, trials, and dungeons. The final boss of an Ultimate raid is an original enemy design that was not present in earlier duties. Wiping at any point in the gauntlet will reset the encounter to the beginning. The sole exception is {{questlink|ultimateraid|Dragonsong's Reprise (Ultimate)}}, which has one checkpoint after the first phase of the encounter.

===Participation===
Ultimate raids can be unlocked by completing the fourth encounter of the Savage raid tier released in the previous patch from when the ultimate raid was released. Players must form a full party of 8 people to enter an instance; matchmaking through Duty Finder or Raid Finder is unavailable. Moreover, to mostly preserve the difficulty of ultimate raids even as newer content is released, each ultimate raid has a strict item level sync and no option to complete using an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled). However, due to job overhauls and other battle system changes, older ultimate raids are currently more forgiving than when they were first released in terms of DPS, healing, and mitigation requirements, allowing much more room for error. More recent ultimate raids are also designed to be more mechanically punishing than older raids, allowing essentially no deaths outside of very specific areas.

Newly-released ultimate raids are designed for players who have maximum item level, best-in-slot gear. Note that the item level of best-in-slot armor and accessories is 5 item levels ''lower'' than the item level sync for a newly-released ultimate raid. Two major patches after an ultimate raid is released, players may acquire gear from the newly released dungeon, which will be at the same item level as the item level sync for the Ultimate raid. Unless if an ultimate raid is from a previous expansion, it is not desirable to sync down current item level gear, because sub-stats from materia melds will not carried over. For level 80 or lower ultimate raids, players are free to equip any Lv. 100 gear, as the item level sync calculations will maximize the possible sub-stats.<ref group="fn">Discord: Kupo Bot, !faq ultimatesync, accessed 10 February 2025

|}</ref>

Many players choose to form or join "static" raid groups with other players to progress and complete ultimate raids. However, it is also possible to use Party Finder to clear them, especially for older ultimate raids, due to the presence of standardized strategies. In addition, on some data centers there are Discord servers that coordinate guided clears or party finding. While all Ultimate raids are very difficult, ''The Weapon's Refrain'' ("UWU") is considered the most accessible ultimate raid, followed by ''The Unending Coil of Bahamut'', ''The Epic of Alexander'', and ''Futures Rewritten''. The most difficult raids are generally considered to be ''Dragonsong's Reprise'' and ''The Omega Protocol''.

[[Limited Jobs|Limited jobs]] and [[Free Trial|free trial]] players cannot participate in ultimate raids.

===Rewards===
Due to their very high difficulty, ultimate raids are meant to be prestige content that is not part of normal gear progression. Ultimate raids reward [[Raid Tokens|totems]] that can be traded at certain vendors for weapons with special particle effects. These weapons are of the same item level as the previous Savage raid tier's but contain an extra materia melding slot. Completion of ultimate raids also unlock achievements, exclusive titles, and [[Adventurer Plate]] designs. When an ultimate raid is newly-released, each party member may obtain one totem per week for completion; this restriction is lifted in the next major patch. The Adventurer Plate is also added in this patch and is automatically unlocked for anyone who cleared the raid, including before the plate was added.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Alliance Raids==
'''Alliance raids''' are fought by 24 players against a sequence of bosses and mobs, similar to a large-scale [[dungeon]]. The 24 players are divided into 3 full parties of 8 players, each consisting of 1 tank, 2 healers, and 5 DPS. These are all considered normal-difficulty content. All party's tanks are expected to [[Enmity|run stance]] since there are no off-tanks in alliance raids. The parties are also occasionally forced to split up and take separate routes or otherwise handle groups of enemies separately.

===Participation===
Alliance raids are released in odd-numbered patches (x.1, x.3, x.5), for a total of three alliance raids per expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. For each raid series, these duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first alliance raid of an expansion is required to unlock the second raid. To participate, players who meet the average minimum item level requirement can register using Duty Finder matchmaking.

===Rewards===
Each boss encounter in an alliance raid drops treasure chests containing equipment that can be rolled on, with the final boss also rewarding exclusive [[minion]]s, [[Triple Triad Cards]], and [[orchestrion rolls]]. The equipment is meant to be "catch-up" and is the same item item level as current, non-augmented tomestone gear. The final boss also drops a guaranteed [[Raid Tokens|coin]], which can be exchanged at certain vendors for tomestone gear upgrade materials that were previously exclusive to the current Savage raids. When an Alliance raid is current, each player can obtain one piece of equipment and one coin per week.

===Additional Information===
Owing its lack of an [[item level]] sync and substantial player power creep over time, the [[Crystal Tower]] alliance raids (with the third at a lesser extent) have become tediously easy duties that are often completed with little difficulty, to the point where mechanics on several bosses are ignored or outright skipped. As a result, many guides include mechanics that players will normally not experience unless on minimum [[Item Level|item level]] mode. Owing to this, players have developed a technique to deliberately lower their item level in the Alliance Roulette, so that it would select a Crystal Tower raid by default. As a result, the developers decided to implement item level restrictions for the {{questlink|dutyroulette|Duty Roulette: Alliance Raids}} in [[Patch 6.5]], as to increase its diversity.

==[[File:Chaotic Alliance Raid.png|25px|link=]] Chaotic Alliance Raids==
'''Chaotic alliance raids''' are high-difficulty 24-player alliance raids fought against a single boss from previous alliance raids. The [[difficulty]] is comparable to a first or second-floor savage raid.

===Participation===
The first chaotic alliance raid was released one week after [[patch 7.15]]. It can be unlocked by completing {{questlink|main|Dawntrail (Quest)}} and then talking to the [[Wandering Minstrel]]. To participate, players can form pre-made parties via [[Party Finder]] before queuing in [[Raid Finder]]. Unlike regular alliance raids, chaotic raids are balanced around having 3 full parties each consisting of 2 tanks, 2 healers, and 4 DPS. However, pre-made parties can queue with a minimum of 12 players, although the difficulty will not be re-scaled.

===Rewards===
The first raid drops item level 730 armor, 2 [[mount]]s, a [[minion]], and a [[hairstyle]]. Some rewards can also be sold on the [[Market Board]]. In addition, each player will receive tokens that can be exchanged for rewards. The equipment has different [[substats]], which made certain pieces best-in-slot for specific jobs at the the time of release.

Unlike other current raids, there are no weekly restrictions on loot.

There are two additional loot bonuses:
*'''First Time Duty Bonus''': Additional tokens will be rewarded in proportion to the number of alliance members new to the duty.
*'''Limited Time Bonus''': A randomly occurring reward bonus<ref group="fn">The spawn "rules" for the bonus window are as follows:
*The window may begin at 3:00, 9:00, 15:00, or 21:00 GMT (24-hour clock) for all data centers.
*The time period may last for 3, 6, 9, or 12 hours, which is determined randomly per data center.
*After the window ends, there will be a cooldown of minimum 24 hours before another window can occur. There will then be a chance for a bonus window to start every 6 hours.
*The maximum cooldown is 48 hours, after which the bonus window will forcibly start.

Entering the duty during the bonus window will cause it to apply for the entirety of the instance, even if the fight is cleared after the bonus window expires.
</ref> that persists for several hours. Entering the duty during this period will give improved drop rates and additional tokens upon completion.

==[[File:Adventuring Foray.png|25px|link=]] Field Operation Raids==
'''Field Operation Raids''' do not fit the standard description or categorization of other "Raids" in Final Fantasy XIV. These are related to multiple expansions' [[field operations]] and often have unique entry requirements, high player counts, and vary in [[Difficulty]]. They are generally not tied to the core item level progression of your character aside from progressing [[Relic Weapon]] quests. These duties are most comparable to [[Alliance Raids]], and often feature unique mechanics that require a higher level of coordination between players to emerge victorious.

===Participation===
Unlock and entry to these duties are associated with their respective [[field operations]] systems and progression. Each of these raids allows the usage of Field Operation specific Duty Actions (See: [[Logos Actions]], [[Lost Actions]] and [[Phantom Job]]), that are sometimes required to progress, or provide unique benefits and power boosts to your character. Similar to [[Variant Dungeons]], there are no job or minimum party size requirements, however low player counts can make these duties incredibly challenging or impossible to complete. Due to their unique participation requirements, and not being accessible via the [[Duty Finder]], it is not possible to enter these instances with duty finder settings such as [[Unrestricted Party]] enabled.

===Rewards===
Each of these encounters rewards are specific to their respective field operations system. They often provide materials for a [[Relic Weapon]] as well as [[achievements]], expansion-specific [[tomestones]] and unique [[mounts]].

'''It's worth noting that {{questlink|eureka|The Baldesion Arsenal}}, {{questlink|bsf|Delubrum Reginae (Savage)}} and {{questlink|oc|Forked Tower}} are considered high-end duties.''' Although comparable to savage raids, there is generally less personal responsibility, with some exceptions, due to the large number of players required to take part. Much of the challenge comes in the form of the uniquely designed encounters and puzzles that make use of large organized raids. Additionally, players cannot be raised by most standard actions and will have the debuff [[File:Resurrection restricted icon1.png|link=Resurrect#Limitations]] '''Resurrection Restricted''' making deaths more punishing.

==Item Level Sync==
Unlike dungeons, most raids do not have item level syncs, which means your item level will be synced to the maximum obtainable gear at the job level you are synced to. This over time can make raids rather trivial, especially if they have a low minimum item level compared to the max obtainable for the expansion. For example, Alexander: The Fist of the Father has a minimum item level of 170, but high level players joining from Roulettes will often be synced to only 270/275, making the fight much shorter and less healing intensive than the original experience. Players that are looking for a more engaging and balanced experience may want to consider doing certain raids in a preformed group via Party Finder with the Minimum Item Level option enabled. This will adjust the gear for all involved to provide an experience somewhat closer to the original release.

Note that Minimum Item Level will only make the content as hard as the developers designed it to be at that item level. Normal Raids - with the exception of Coils of Bahamut - will still be easily clearable, while Savage Raids can be expected to generally be extremely brutal on this setting.

==Achievements==
Raid completion is associated generally with the following [[achievements]]:

{| {{STDT|mech1}}
{{achievement table header}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons I}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons II}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons III}}

[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] '''Raids''' are the core of the [[endgame]], posing the greatest challenges and offering the strongest loot. Unlike dungeons or trials, current-tier raids have limitations on how much loot players can receive per week. These limitations are removed once the raid is old, to make it easier to catch up. Raids are almost always optional content for [[Main Scenario Quest]] progression (the only exception being the level 50 [[Alliance Raid]] series), although some raids are prerequisites for other optional questlines.
{{TOC limit|3}}
==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Normal Raids==
'''Normal raids''' are fought by 8 players usually against a single boss, similar to a [[trial]].<ref group="fn">There are a few exceptions to this formula. The first is {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 3}}, which is a jumping puzzle with no boss and no substantial rewards. Another exception is {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 4}}, which is a gauntlet fight with no final boss. A third exception is {{questlink|raid|Alexander - The Cuff of the Father}} (both normal and savage), which also contains a gauntlet.</ref> Older raids may have other enemies or mini-bosses before the final boss, but the single-boss format has been consistent since [[Omega: Deltascape]]. Normal raids are similar in [[difficulty]] to story-difficulty trials and can be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking. The exception is the Lv. 50 Bahamut raid series, which is closer to Savage difficulty by default.

===Participation===
Normal raids are released in sets of four duties in the x.01, x.2, and x.4 patches of an expansion, for a total of 12 duties over three raid tiers in an expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. These duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first tier is required to unlock the second tier. Players who meet the minimum item level requirement for a normal raid can queue for it through Duty Finder.

===Rewards===
Normal raids drop a variety of equipment "tokens" which can be exchanged at certain vendors for high item level gear. In addition, the final duty of a current-[[expansion]] Normal raid will grant a [[Raid Tokens|Completion Reward]], of which seven can be exchanged along with 500 of the current capped tomestones for a weapon that is 10 item levels higher than current crafted gear. In a later patch, this requirement is lowered to four of the rewarded item. When a Normal raid series is current, players may obtain one token per duty and one reward item from the final floor per week. This restriction is usually lifted a few weeks before the release of the next raid tier.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Savage Raids==
Each normal raid also has a higher-difficulty equivalent, called a '''savage raid''', which uses the same boss but with more difficult mechanics, more health, and higher outgoing damage. In addition, all Savage bosses have a time limit in which they must be defeated or they will wipe the party with an enrage ability. Savage encounters usually follow a gradually increasing difficulty curve, with the first two encounters usually comparable or slighty higher in difficulty to an Extreme trial, and the last two encounters being significantly more challenging, although there are exceptions to this trend<ref group="fn">The second-floor fights {{questlink|raid|Anabaseios: The Tenth Circle (Savage)}} and {{questlink|raid|AAC Cruiserweight M2 (Savage)}} are generally considered to be more difficult than the third fights in their respective tier.</ref>. Beginning with [[Omega: Deltascape (Savage)]], the final duty of each Savage raid tier is usually split into two boss encounters, with a checkpoint in between, meaning that wiping to the second phase will reset the party to the start of that phase. However, leaving the instance and resetting will require defeating the first phase again to re-acquire the checkpoint. The exceptions are [[Eden's Gate: Sepulture (Savage)]], [[Eden's Verse: Refulgence (Savage)]], [[AAC Light-heavyweight M4 (Savage)]], and [[AAC Cruiserweight M4 (Savage)]], which are long singular encounters containing boss phases exclusive to the Savage version, but no checkpoint. The first phase is usually referred to as a ''[[door boss]]'' by the community.

Since Deltascape (Savage), the first Savage tier in an expansion is deliberately tuned to be easier to allow players to become accustomed to the expansion's job changes and additions, and to encourage newer players to participate in high-end raiding. The second and third tiers are then designed to be more challenging than the first.

When a savage raid is no longer new, {{buff|the echo}} [[The Echo]] will applied to all players upon entering the duty, and the strength of this buff will not increase upon wiping. Savage raids from prior expansions are typically done with an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled) to complete them more easily, which does not impact rewards. However, some [[Battle Achievements|achievements]] require completing the final encounter of a previous savage raid tier with a full party of {{BLU}} [[Blue Mage|blue mages]] with silence [[The Echo|echo]] and level sync enabled.

===Participation===
Savage raids are released 2 weeks after normal raids in the x.05 patch of an expansion, and 1 week after the normal raid tier in the x.2 and x.4 patches. They can be unlocked by completing the respective Normal raid tier and associated quests, then speaking to a certain NPC depending on the raid series. Completion of the previous tier's Savage encounters is not required to unlock the current Savage tier. Savage raids are typically too difficult to be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking, so players in most data centers opt to use [[Party Finder]] for both practice and duty completion, or form "static" raid groups with other players.

Savage raids have a higher average minimum item level than the corresponding Normal raids, with the requirement for the first floor 15 item levels higher than the corresponding normal raids, the second floor being 20 item levels higher, and the third and fourth floors being 25 item levels higher. Savage raids are always released with new crafted and normal raid gear that meet the minimum item level for the last floors, along with weekly-capped tomestone gear that is 10 item levels higher. Gear purchased with the existing uncapped Allagan Tomestone will match the minimum item level for the first savage floor only. Players who wish to aim for an early clear of the tier are strongly advised to acquire a full set of {{HQ}} ''[[High Quality]]'' crafted gear and fully [[Materia Melding|meld]] it with [[materia]] ("pentamelding"), although this is a costly process. For the second and third Savage tier of an expansion, the extreme trial that was released with the patch will drop weapons that are 5 item levels higher than the crafted weapon, providing a good starting point for players who wish to participate in the tier.

With the advent of [[Data Center Travel]], players looking to participate in high-end duties, especially savage and ultimate raids, have started congregating in one data center per geographic region. These are
* North America: Aether
* Europe: Light
* Japan: Mana

Players on other data centers who wish to participate in current high-end content through Party Finder may find it necessary to travel to their region's primary "raiding" data center in order to form a party in a reasonable timeframe.

===Rewards===
Savage raids drop coffers that can be used to obtain equipment 20 item levels higher than the respective normal raid tier's loot. In addition, Savage raids reward items that can be used to augment the current weekly-capped tomestone equipment to the same item level as Savage gear. The final duty of each Savage raid tier rewards weapons that are at the maximum item level and exclusive mounts. For each job, the "best-in-slot" gear for a patch usually comprises a mixture of Savage gear and augmented tomestone gear based on which pieces provide the most desirable sub-stats.

Each duty in a Savage raid tier will also reward each party member with a [[Raid Tokens|book]], of which a certain number can be exchanged for equipment coffers and upgrade materials. When a Savage raid series is current, players may obtain one book per duty per week. In addition, the number of rewards that appear upon completion and can be rolled for will depend on how many players have completed the duty for the week. If one to four party members have completed the duty for the week, fewer items will appear in the treasure coffer. If more than five party members have completed the duty for the week, the treasure coffer will not appear. Unlike Normal raids, there is no restriction on how many rewards a single player can win from loot rolls as long as a chest appears. However, once a player has completed a duty for the week and leaves the instance, they will not be able to roll for loot upon defeating the boss again, regardless of whether they rolled or won any items the first time, until the weekly reset time.

Upon registering for and completing a current Savage raid, the player's weekly progress will be updated to that point, preventing them from obtaining rewards from previous raids regardless of whether they have completed them for the week. Older tiers also do not have loot restrictions.

Example: A player has yet to complete AAC Cruiserweight M1 (Savage) for the week. They cannot register for Cruiserweight M2 (Savage). However, they join a premade party in which the leader has completed AAC Cruiserweight M1 (Savage) for the week and can register for AAC Cruiserweight M2 (Savage). The player can enter AAC Cruiserweight M2 (Savage), but upon entering, they will forfeit all rewards from AAC Cruiserweight M1 (Savage) until the next weekly reset.

Reward eligibility is [[reset]] every Tuesday at 8:00 (GMT).
* In the event a raid is underway when reward eligibility is reset, players will still be permitted to vie for items during the upcoming week.

==[[File:Ultimate Raid.png|25px|link=]] Ultimate Raids==
Beginning with Stormblood, some raid tiers are also followed by a single '''ultimate raid''' released two weeks into the following odd-numbered major patch (i.e., x.11 or x.31). With the exception of [[Shadowbringers]], each expansion contains two ultimate raids. Ultimate raids are boss gauntlet style encounters where players encounter a series of significantly more powerful bosses from previous raids, trials, and dungeons. The final boss of an Ultimate raid is an original enemy design that was not present in earlier duties. Wiping at any point in the gauntlet will reset the encounter to the beginning. The sole exception is {{questlink|ultimateraid|Dragonsong's Reprise (Ultimate)}}, which has one checkpoint after the first phase of the encounter.

===Participation===
Ultimate raids can be unlocked by completing the fourth encounter of the Savage raid tier released in the previous patch from when the ultimate raid was released. Players must form a full party of 8 people to enter an instance; matchmaking through Duty Finder or Raid Finder is unavailable. Moreover, to mostly preserve the difficulty of ultimate raids even as newer content is released, each ultimate raid has a strict item level sync and no option to complete using an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled). However, due to job overhauls and other battle system changes, older ultimate raids are currently more forgiving than when they were first released in terms of DPS, healing, and mitigation requirements, allowing much more room for error. More recent ultimate raids are also designed to be more mechanically punishing than older raids, allowing essentially no deaths outside of very specific areas.

Newly-released ultimate raids are designed for players who have maximum item level, best-in-slot gear. Note that the item level of best-in-slot armor and accessories is 5 item levels ''lower'' than the item level sync for a newly-released ultimate raid. Two major patches after an ultimate raid is released, players may acquire gear from the newly released dungeon, which will be at the same item level as the item level sync for the Ultimate raid. Unless if an ultimate raid is from a previous expansion, it is not desirable to sync down current item level gear, because sub-stats from materia melds will not carried over. For level 80 or lower ultimate raids, players are free to equip any Lv. 100 gear, as the item level sync calculations will maximize the possible sub-stats.<ref group="fn">Discord: Kupo Bot, !faq ultimatesync, accessed 10 February 2025

Many players choose to form or join "static" raid groups with other players to progress and complete ultimate raids. However, it is also possible to use Party Finder to clear them, especially for older ultimate raids, due to the presence of standardized strategies. In addition, on some data centers there are Discord servers that coordinate guided clears or party finding. While all Ultimate raids are very difficult, ''The Weapon's Refrain'' ("UWU") is considered the most accessible ultimate raid, followed by ''The Unending Coil of Bahamut'', ''The Epic of Alexander'', and ''Futures Rewritten''. The most difficult raids are generally considered to be ''Dragonsong's Reprise'' and ''The Omega Protocol''.

[[Limited Jobs|Limited jobs]] and [[Free Trial|free trial]] players cannot participate in ultimate raids.

===Rewards===
Due to their very high difficulty, ultimate raids are meant to be prestige content that is not part of normal gear progression. Ultimate raids reward [[Raid Tokens|totems]] that can be traded at certain vendors for weapons with special particle effects. These weapons are of the same item level as the previous Savage raid tier's but contain an extra materia melding slot. Completion of ultimate raids also unlock achievements, exclusive titles, and [[Adventurer Plate]] designs. When an ultimate raid is newly-released, each party member may obtain one totem per week for completion; this restriction is lifted in the next major patch. The Adventurer Plate is also added in this patch and is automatically unlocked for anyone who cleared the raid, including before the plate was added.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Alliance Raids==
'''Alliance raids''' are fought by 24 players against a sequence of bosses and mobs, similar to a large-scale [[dungeon]]. The 24 players are divided into 3 full parties of 8 players, each consisting of 1 tank, 2 healers, and 5 DPS. These are all considered normal-difficulty content. All party's tanks are expected to [[Enmity|run stance]] since there are no off-tanks in alliance raids. The parties are also occasionally forced to split up and take separate routes or otherwise handle groups of enemies separately.

===Participation===
Alliance raids are released in odd-numbered patches (x.1, x.3, x.5), for a total of three alliance raids per expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. For each raid series, these duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first alliance raid of an expansion is required to unlock the second raid. To participate, players who meet the average minimum item level requirement can register using Duty Finder matchmaking.

===Rewards===
Each boss encounter in an alliance raid drops treasure chests containing equipment that can be rolled on, with the final boss also rewarding exclusive [[minion]]s, [[Triple Triad Cards]], and [[orchestrion rolls]]. The equipment is meant to be "catch-up" and is the same item item level as current, non-augmented tomestone gear. The final boss also drops a guaranteed [[Raid Tokens|coin]], which can be exchanged at certain vendors for tomestone gear upgrade materials that were previously exclusive to the current Savage raids. When an Alliance raid is current, each player can obtain one piece of equipment and one coin per week.

===Additional Information===
Owing its lack of an [[item level]] sync and substantial player power creep over time, the [[Crystal Tower]] alliance raids (with the third at a lesser extent) have become tediously easy duties that are often completed with little difficulty, to the point where mechanics on several bosses are ignored or outright skipped. As a result, many guides include mechanics that players will normally not experience unless on minimum [[Item Level|item level]] mode. Owing to this, players have developed a technique to deliberately lower their item level in the Alliance Roulette, so that it would select a Crystal Tower raid by default. As a result, the developers decided to implement item level restrictions for the {{questlink|dutyroulette|Duty Roulette: Alliance Raids}} in [[Patch 6.5]], as to increase its diversity.

==[[File:Chaotic Alliance Raid.png|25px|link=]] Chaotic Alliance Raids==
'''Chaotic alliance raids''' are high-difficulty 24-player alliance raids fought against a single boss from previous alliance raids. The [[difficulty]] is comparable to a first or second-floor savage raid.

===Participation===
The first chaotic alliance raid was released one week after [[patch 7.15]]. It can be unlocked by completing {{questlink|main|Dawntrail (Quest)}} and then talking to the [[Wandering Minstrel]]. To participate, players can form pre-made parties via [[Party Finder]] before queuing in [[Raid Finder]]. Unlike regular alliance raids, chaotic raids are balanced around having 3 full parties each consisting of 2 tanks, 2 healers, and 4 DPS. However, pre-made parties can queue with a minimum of 12 players, although the difficulty will not be re-scaled.

===Rewards===
The first raid drops item level 730 armor, 2 [[mount]]s, a [[minion]], and a [[hairstyle]]. Some rewards can also be sold on the [[Market Board]]. In addition, each player will receive tokens that can be exchanged for rewards. The equipment has different [[substats]], which made certain pieces best-in-slot for specific jobs at the the time of release.

Unlike other current raids, there are no weekly restrictions on loot.

There are two additional loot bonuses:
*'''First Time Duty Bonus''': Additional tokens will be rewarded in proportion to the number of alliance members new to the duty.
*'''Limited Time Bonus''': A randomly occurring reward bonus<ref group="fn">The spawn "rules" for the bonus window are as follows:
*The window may begin at 3:00, 9:00, 15:00, or 21:00 GMT (24-hour clock) for all data centers.
*The time period may last for 3, 6, 9, or 12 hours, which is determined randomly per data center.
*After the window ends, there will be a cooldown of minimum 24 hours before another window can occur. There will then be a chance for a bonus window to start every 6 hours.
*The maximum cooldown is 48 hours, after which the bonus window will forcibly start.

Entering the duty during the bonus window will cause it to apply for the entirety of the instance, even if the fight is cleared after the bonus window expires.
</ref> that persists for several hours. Entering the duty during this period will give improved drop rates and additional tokens upon completion.

==[[File:Adventuring Foray.png|25px|link=]] Field Operation Raids==
'''Field Operation Raids''' do not fit the standard description or categorization of other "Raids" in Final Fantasy XIV. These are related to multiple expansions' [[field operations]] and often have unique entry requirements, high player counts, and vary in [[Difficulty]]. They are generally not tied to the core item level progression of your character aside from progressing [[Relic Weapon]] quests. These duties are most comparable to [[Alliance Raids]], and often feature unique mechanics that require a higher level of coordination between players to emerge victorious.

===Participation===
Unlock and entry to these duties are associated with their respective [[field operations]] systems and progression. Each of these raids allows the usage of Field Operation specific Duty Actions (See: [[Logos Actions]], [[Lost Actions]] and [[Phantom Job]]), that are sometimes required to progress, or provide unique benefits and power boosts to your character. Similar to [[Variant Dungeons]], there are no job or minimum party size requirements, however low player counts can make these duties incredibly challenging or impossible to complete. Due to their unique participation requirements, and not being accessible via the [[Duty Finder]], it is not possible to enter these instances with duty finder settings such as [[Unrestricted Party]] enabled.

===Rewards===
Each of these encounters rewards are specific to their respective field operations system. They often provide materials for a [[Relic Weapon]] as well as [[achievements]], expansion-specific [[tomestones]] and unique [[mounts]].

'''It's worth noting that {{questlink|eureka|The Baldesion Arsenal}}, {{questlink|bsf|Delubrum Reginae (Savage)}} and {{questlink|oc|Forked Tower}} are considered high-end duties.''' Although comparable to savage raids, there is generally less personal responsibility, with some exceptions, due to the large number of players required to take part. Much of the challenge comes in the form of the uniquely designed encounters and puzzles that make use of large organized raids. Additionally, players cannot be raised by most standard actions and will have the debuff [[File:Resurrection restricted icon1.png|link=Resurrect#Limitations]] '''Resurrection Restricted''' making deaths more punishing.

==Item Level Sync==
Unlike dungeons, most raids do not have item level syncs, which means your item level will be synced to the maximum obtainable gear at the job level you are synced to. This over time can make raids rather trivial, especially if they have a low minimum item level compared to the max obtainable for the expansion. For example, Alexander: The Fist of the Father has a minimum item level of 170, but high level players joining from Roulettes will often be synced to only 270/275, making the fight much shorter and less healing intensive than the original experience. Players that are looking for a more engaging and balanced experience may want to consider doing certain raids in a preformed group via Party Finder with the Minimum Item Level option enabled. This will adjust the gear for all involved to provide an experience somewhat closer to the original release.

Note that Minimum Item Level will only make the content as hard as the developers designed it to be at that item level. Normal Raids - with the exception of Coils of Bahamut - will still be easily clearable, while Savage Raids can be expected to generally be extremely brutal on this setting.

==Achievements==
Raid completion is associated generally with the following [[achievements]]:

{| {{STDT|mech1}}

[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] '''Raids''' are the core of the [[endgame]], posing the greatest challenges and offering the strongest loot. Unlike dungeons or trials, current-tier raids have limitations on how much loot players can receive per week. These limitations are removed once the raid is old, to make it easier to catch up. Raids are almost always optional content for [[Main Scenario Quest]] progression (the only exception being the level 50 [[Alliance Raid]] series), although some raids are prerequisites for other optional questlines.
{{TOC limit|3}}
==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Normal Raids==
'''Normal raids''' are fought by 8 players usually against a single boss, similar to a [[trial]].<ref group="fn">There are a few exceptions to this formula. The first is {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 3}}, which is a jumping puzzle with no boss and no substantial rewards. Another exception is {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 4}}, which is a gauntlet fight with no final boss. A third exception is {{questlink|raid|Alexander - The Cuff of the Father}} (both normal and savage), which also contains a gauntlet.</ref> Older raids may have other enemies or mini-bosses before the final boss, but the single-boss format has been consistent since [[Omega: Deltascape]]. Normal raids are similar in [[difficulty]] to story-difficulty trials and can be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking. The exception is the Lv. 50 Bahamut raid series, which is closer to Savage difficulty by default.

===Participation===
Normal raids are released in sets of four duties in the x.01, x.2, and x.4 patches of an expansion, for a total of 12 duties over three raid tiers in an expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. These duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first tier is required to unlock the second tier. Players who meet the minimum item level requirement for a normal raid can queue for it through Duty Finder.

===Rewards===
Normal raids drop a variety of equipment "tokens" which can be exchanged at certain vendors for high item level gear. In addition, the final duty of a current-[[expansion]] Normal raid will grant a [[Raid Tokens|Completion Reward]], of which seven can be exchanged along with 500 of the current capped tomestones for a weapon that is 10 item levels higher than current crafted gear. In a later patch, this requirement is lowered to four of the rewarded item. When a Normal raid series is current, players may obtain one token per duty and one reward item from the final floor per week. This restriction is usually lifted a few weeks before the release of the next raid tier.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Savage Raids==
Each normal raid also has a higher-difficulty equivalent, called a '''savage raid''', which uses the same boss but with more difficult mechanics, more health, and higher outgoing damage. In addition, all Savage bosses have a time limit in which they must be defeated or they will wipe the party with an enrage ability. Savage encounters usually follow a gradually increasing difficulty curve, with the first two encounters usually comparable or slighty higher in difficulty to an Extreme trial, and the last two encounters being significantly more challenging, although there are exceptions to this trend<ref group="fn">The second-floor fights {{questlink|raid|Anabaseios: The Tenth Circle (Savage)}} and {{questlink|raid|AAC Cruiserweight M2 (Savage)}} are generally considered to be more difficult than the third fights in their respective tier.</ref>. Beginning with [[Omega: Deltascape (Savage)]], the final duty of each Savage raid tier is usually split into two boss encounters, with a checkpoint in between, meaning that wiping to the second phase will reset the party to the start of that phase. However, leaving the instance and resetting will require defeating the first phase again to re-acquire the checkpoint. The exceptions are [[Eden's Gate: Sepulture (Savage)]], [[Eden's Verse: Refulgence (Savage)]], [[AAC Light-heavyweight M4 (Savage)]], and [[AAC Cruiserweight M4 (Savage)]], which are long singular encounters containing boss phases exclusive to the Savage version, but no checkpoint. The first phase is usually referred to as a ''[[door boss]]'' by the community.

Since Deltascape (Savage), the first Savage tier in an expansion is deliberately tuned to be easier to allow players to become accustomed to the expansion's job changes and additions, and to encourage newer players to participate in high-end raiding. The second and third tiers are then designed to be more challenging than the first.

When a savage raid is no longer new, {{buff|the echo}} [[The Echo]] will applied to all players upon entering the duty, and the strength of this buff will not increase upon wiping. Savage raids from prior expansions are typically done with an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled) to complete them more easily, which does not impact rewards. However, some [[Battle Achievements|achievements]] require completing the final encounter of a previous savage raid tier with a full party of {{BLU}} [[Blue Mage|blue mages]] with silence [[The Echo|echo]] and level sync enabled.

===Participation===
Savage raids are released 2 weeks after normal raids in the x.05 patch of an expansion, and 1 week after the normal raid tier in the x.2 and x.4 patches. They can be unlocked by completing the respective Normal raid tier and associated quests, then speaking to a certain NPC depending on the raid series. Completion of the previous tier's Savage encounters is not required to unlock the current Savage tier. Savage raids are typically too difficult to be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking, so players in most data centers opt to use [[Party Finder]] for both practice and duty completion, or form "static" raid groups with other players.

Savage raids have a higher average minimum item level than the corresponding Normal raids, with the requirement for the first floor 15 item levels higher than the corresponding normal raids, the second floor being 20 item levels higher, and the third and fourth floors being 25 item levels higher. Savage raids are always released with new crafted and normal raid gear that meet the minimum item level for the last floors, along with weekly-capped tomestone gear that is 10 item levels higher. Gear purchased with the existing uncapped Allagan Tomestone will match the minimum item level for the first savage floor only. Players who wish to aim for an early clear of the tier are strongly advised to acquire a full set of {{HQ}} ''[[High Quality]]'' crafted gear and fully [[Materia Melding|meld]] it with [[materia]] ("pentamelding"), although this is a costly process. For the second and third Savage tier of an expansion, the extreme trial that was released with the patch will drop weapons that are 5 item levels higher than the crafted weapon, providing a good starting point for players who wish to participate in the tier.

With the advent of [[Data Center Travel]], players looking to participate in high-end duties, especially savage and ultimate raids, have started congregating in one data center per geographic region. These are
* North America: Aether
* Europe: Light
* Japan: Mana

Players on other data centers who wish to participate in current high-end content through Party Finder may find it necessary to travel to their region's primary "raiding" data center in order to form a party in a reasonable timeframe.

===Rewards===
Savage raids drop coffers that can be used to obtain equipment 20 item levels higher than the respective normal raid tier's loot. In addition, Savage raids reward items that can be used to augment the current weekly-capped tomestone equipment to the same item level as Savage gear. The final duty of each Savage raid tier rewards weapons that are at the maximum item level and exclusive mounts. For each job, the "best-in-slot" gear for a patch usually comprises a mixture of Savage gear and augmented tomestone gear based on which pieces provide the most desirable sub-stats.

Each duty in a Savage raid tier will also reward each party member with a [[Raid Tokens|book]], of which a certain number can be exchanged for equipment coffers and upgrade materials. When a Savage raid series is current, players may obtain one book per duty per week. In addition, the number of rewards that appear upon completion and can be rolled for will depend on how many players have completed the duty for the week. If one to four party members have completed the duty for the week, fewer items will appear in the treasure coffer. If more than five party members have completed the duty for the week, the treasure coffer will not appear. Unlike Normal raids, there is no restriction on how many rewards a single player can win from loot rolls as long as a chest appears. However, once a player has completed a duty for the week and leaves the instance, they will not be able to roll for loot upon defeating the boss again, regardless of whether they rolled or won any items the first time, until the weekly reset time.

Upon registering for and completing a current Savage raid, the player's weekly progress will be updated to that point, preventing them from obtaining rewards from previous raids regardless of whether they have completed them for the week. Older tiers also do not have loot restrictions.

Example: A player has yet to complete AAC Cruiserweight M1 (Savage) for the week. They cannot register for Cruiserweight M2 (Savage). However, they join a premade party in which the leader has completed AAC Cruiserweight M1 (Savage) for the week and can register for AAC Cruiserweight M2 (Savage). The player can enter AAC Cruiserweight M2 (Savage), but upon entering, they will forfeit all rewards from AAC Cruiserweight M1 (Savage) until the next weekly reset.

Reward eligibility is [[reset]] every Tuesday at 8:00 (GMT).
* In the event a raid is underway when reward eligibility is reset, players will still be permitted to vie for items during the upcoming week.

Beginning with Stormblood, some raid tiers are also followed by a single '''ultimate raid''' released two weeks into the following odd-numbered major patch (i.e., x.11 or x.31). With the exception of [[Shadowbringers]], each expansion contains two ultimate raids. Ultimate raids are boss gauntlet style encounters where players encounter a series of significantly more powerful bosses from previous raids, trials, and dungeons. The final boss of an Ultimate raid is an original enemy design that was not present in earlier duties. Wiping at any point in the gauntlet will reset the encounter to the beginning. The sole exception is {{questlink|ultimateraid|Dragonsong's Reprise (Ultimate)}}, which has one checkpoint after the first phase of the encounter.

===Participation===
Ultimate raids can be unlocked by completing the fourth encounter of the Savage raid tier released in the previous patch from when the ultimate raid was released. Players must form a full party of 8 people to enter an instance; matchmaking through Duty Finder or Raid Finder is unavailable. Moreover, to mostly preserve the difficulty of ultimate raids even as newer content is released, each ultimate raid has a strict item level sync and no option to complete using an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled). However, due to job overhauls and other battle system changes, older ultimate raids are currently more forgiving than when they were first released in terms of DPS, healing, and mitigation requirements, allowing much more room for error. More recent ultimate raids are also designed to be more mechanically punishing than older raids, allowing essentially no deaths outside of very specific areas.

Newly-released ultimate raids are designed for players who have maximum item level, best-in-slot gear. Note that the item level of best-in-slot armor and accessories is 5 item levels ''lower'' than the item level sync for a newly-released ultimate raid. Two major patches after an ultimate raid is released, players may acquire gear from the newly released dungeon, which will be at the same item level as the item level sync for the Ultimate raid. Unless if an ultimate raid is from a previous expansion, it is not desirable to sync down current item level gear, because sub-stats from materia melds will not carried over. For level 80 or lower ultimate raids, players are free to equip any Lv. 100 gear, as the item level sync calculations will maximize the possible sub-stats.<ref group="fn">Discord: Kupo Bot, !faq ultimatesync, accessed 10 February 2025

Many players choose to form or join "static" raid groups with other players to progress and complete ultimate raids. However, it is also possible to use Party Finder to clear them, especially for older ultimate raids, due to the presence of standardized strategies. In addition, on some data centers there are Discord servers that coordinate guided clears or party finding. While all Ultimate raids are very difficult, ''The Weapon's Refrain'' ("UWU") is considered the most accessible ultimate raid, followed by ''The Unending Coil of Bahamut'', ''The Epic of Alexander'', and ''Futures Rewritten''. The most difficult raids are generally considered to be ''Dragonsong's Reprise'' and ''The Omega Protocol''.

[[Limited Jobs|Limited jobs]] and [[Free Trial|free trial]] players cannot participate in ultimate raids.

===Rewards===
Due to their very high difficulty, ultimate raids are meant to be prestige content that is not part of normal gear progression. Ultimate raids reward [[Raid Tokens|totems]] that can be traded at certain vendors for weapons with special particle effects. These weapons are of the same item level as the previous Savage raid tier's but contain an extra materia melding slot. Completion of ultimate raids also unlock achievements, exclusive titles, and [[Adventurer Plate]] designs. When an ultimate raid is newly-released, each party member may obtain one totem per week for completion; this restriction is lifted in the next major patch. The Adventurer Plate is also added in this patch and is automatically unlocked for anyone who cleared the raid, including before the plate was added.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Alliance Raids==
'''Alliance raids''' are fought by 24 players against a sequence of bosses and mobs, similar to a large-scale [[dungeon]]. The 24 players are divided into 3 full parties of 8 players, each consisting of 1 tank, 2 healers, and 5 DPS. These are all considered normal-difficulty content. All party's tanks are expected to [[Enmity|run stance]] since there are no off-tanks in alliance raids. The parties are also occasionally forced to split up and take separate routes or otherwise handle groups of enemies separately.

===Participation===
Alliance raids are released in odd-numbered patches (x.1, x.3, x.5), for a total of three alliance raids per expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. For each raid series, these duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first alliance raid of an expansion is required to unlock the second raid. To participate, players who meet the average minimum item level requirement can register using Duty Finder matchmaking.

===Rewards===
Each boss encounter in an alliance raid drops treasure chests containing equipment that can be rolled on, with the final boss also rewarding exclusive [[minion]]s, [[Triple Triad Cards]], and [[orchestrion rolls]]. The equipment is meant to be "catch-up" and is the same item item level as current, non-augmented tomestone gear. The final boss also drops a guaranteed [[Raid Tokens|coin]], which can be exchanged at certain vendors for tomestone gear upgrade materials that were previously exclusive to the current Savage raids. When an Alliance raid is current, each player can obtain one piece of equipment and one coin per week.

===Additional Information===
Owing its lack of an [[item level]] sync and substantial player power creep over time, the [[Crystal Tower]] alliance raids (with the third at a lesser extent) have become tediously easy duties that are often completed with little difficulty, to the point where mechanics on several bosses are ignored or outright skipped. As a result, many guides include mechanics that players will normally not experience unless on minimum [[Item Level|item level]] mode. Owing to this, players have developed a technique to deliberately lower their item level in the Alliance Roulette, so that it would select a Crystal Tower raid by default. As a result, the developers decided to implement item level restrictions for the {{questlink|dutyroulette|Duty Roulette: Alliance Raids}} in [[Patch 6.5]], as to increase its diversity.

==[[File:Chaotic Alliance Raid.png|25px|link=]] Chaotic Alliance Raids==
'''Chaotic alliance raids''' are high-difficulty 24-player alliance raids fought against a single boss from previous alliance raids. The [[difficulty]] is comparable to a first or second-floor savage raid.

===Participation===
The first chaotic alliance raid was released one week after [[patch 7.15]]. It can be unlocked by completing {{questlink|main|Dawntrail (Quest)}} and then talking to the [[Wandering Minstrel]]. To participate, players can form pre-made parties via [[Party Finder]] before queuing in [[Raid Finder]]. Unlike regular alliance raids, chaotic raids are balanced around having 3 full parties each consisting of 2 tanks, 2 healers, and 4 DPS. However, pre-made parties can queue with a minimum of 12 players, although the difficulty will not be re-scaled.

===Rewards===
The first raid drops item level 730 armor, 2 [[mount]]s, a [[minion]], and a [[hairstyle]]. Some rewards can also be sold on the [[Market Board]]. In addition, each player will receive tokens that can be exchanged for rewards. The equipment has different [[substats]], which made certain pieces best-in-slot for specific jobs at the the time of release.

Unlike other current raids, there are no weekly restrictions on loot.

There are two additional loot bonuses:
*'''First Time Duty Bonus''': Additional tokens will be rewarded in proportion to the number of alliance members new to the duty.
*'''Limited Time Bonus''': A randomly occurring reward bonus<ref group="fn">The spawn "rules" for the bonus window are as follows:
*The window may begin at 3:00, 9:00, 15:00, or 21:00 GMT (24-hour clock) for all data centers.
*The time period may last for 3, 6, 9, or 12 hours, which is determined randomly per data center.
*After the window ends, there will be a cooldown of minimum 24 hours before another window can occur. There will then be a chance for a bonus window to start every 6 hours.
*The maximum cooldown is 48 hours, after which the bonus window will forcibly start.

Entering the duty during the bonus window will cause it to apply for the entirety of the instance, even if the fight is cleared after the bonus window expires.
</ref> that persists for several hours. Entering the duty during this period will give improved drop rates and additional tokens upon completion.

==[[File:Adventuring Foray.png|25px|link=]] Field Operation Raids==
'''Field Operation Raids''' do not fit the standard description or categorization of other "Raids" in Final Fantasy XIV. These are related to multiple expansions' [[field operations]] and often have unique entry requirements, high player counts, and vary in [[Difficulty]]. They are generally not tied to the core item level progression of your character aside from progressing [[Relic Weapon]] quests. These duties are most comparable to [[Alliance Raids]], and often feature unique mechanics that require a higher level of coordination between players to emerge victorious.

===Participation===
Unlock and entry to these duties are associated with their respective [[field operations]] systems and progression. Each of these raids allows the usage of Field Operation specific Duty Actions (See: [[Logos Actions]], [[Lost Actions]] and [[Phantom Job]]), that are sometimes required to progress, or provide unique benefits and power boosts to your character. Similar to [[Variant Dungeons]], there are no job or minimum party size requirements, however low player counts can make these duties incredibly challenging or impossible to complete. Due to their unique participation requirements, and not being accessible via the [[Duty Finder]], it is not possible to enter these instances with duty finder settings such as [[Unrestricted Party]] enabled.

===Rewards===
Each of these encounters rewards are specific to their respective field operations system. They often provide materials for a [[Relic Weapon]] as well as [[achievements]], expansion-specific [[tomestones]] and unique [[mounts]].

'''It's worth noting that {{questlink|eureka|The Baldesion Arsenal}}, {{questlink|bsf|Delubrum Reginae (Savage)}} and {{questlink|field-ops|Forked Tower}} are considered high-end duties.''' Although comparable to savage raids, there is generally less personal responsibility, with some exceptions, due to the large number of players required to take part. Much of the challenge comes in the form of the uniquely designed encounters and puzzles that make use of large organized raids. Additionally, players cannot be raised by most standard actions and will have the debuff [[File:Resurrection restricted icon1.png|link=Resurrect#Limitations]] '''Resurrection Restricted''' making deaths more punishing.

==Item Level Sync==
Unlike dungeons, most raids do not have item level syncs, which means your item level will be synced to the maximum obtainable gear at the job level you are synced to. This over time can make raids rather trivial, especially if they have a low minimum item level compared to the max obtainable for the expansion. For example, Alexander: The Fist of the Father has a minimum item level of 170, but high level players joining from Roulettes will often be synced to only 270/275, making the fight much shorter and less healing intensive than the original experience. Players that are looking for a more engaging and balanced experience may want to consider doing certain raids in a preformed group via Party Finder with the Minimum Item Level option enabled. This will adjust the gear for all involved to provide an experience somewhat closer to the original release.

Note that Minimum Item Level will only make the content as hard as the developers designed it to be at that item level. Normal Raids - with the exception of Coils of Bahamut - will still be easily clearable, while Savage Raids can be expected to generally be extremely brutal on this setting.

==Achievements==
Raid completion is associated generally with the following [[achievements]]:

{| {{STDT|mech1}}
{{achievement table header}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons I}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons II}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons III}}

:''See also: [[Dungeons]], [[Trials]], [[Deep Dungeon]], [[Field Operations]], [[Variant Dungeons]], [[Criterion Dungeons]]''
[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] '''Raids''' are the core of the [[endgame]], posing the greatest challenges and offering the strongest loot. Unlike dungeons or trials, current-tier raids have limitations on how much loot players can receive per week. These limitations are removed once the raid is old, to make it easier to catch up. Raids are almost always optional content for [[Main Scenario Quest]] progression (the only exception being the level 50 [[Alliance Raid]] series), although some raids are prerequisites for other optional questlines.
{{TOC limit|3}}
==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Normal Raids==
'''Normal raids''' are fought by 8 players usually against a single boss, similar to a [[trial]].<ref group="fn">There are a few exceptions to this formula. The first is {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 3}}, which is a jumping puzzle with no boss and no substantial rewards. Another exception is {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 4}}, which is a gauntlet fight with no final boss. A third exception is {{questlink|raid|Alexander - The Cuff of the Father}} (both normal and savage), which also contains a gauntlet.</ref> Older raids may have other enemies or mini-bosses before the final boss, but the single-boss format has been consistent since [[Omega: Deltascape]]. Normal raids are similar in [[difficulty]] to story-difficulty trials and can be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking. The exception is the Lv. 50 Bahamut raid series, which is closer to Savage difficulty by default.

===Participation===
Normal raids are released in sets of four duties in the x.01, x.2, and x.4 patches of an expansion, for a total of 12 duties over three raid tiers in an expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. These duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first tier is required to unlock the second tier. Players who meet the minimum item level requirement for a normal raid can queue for it through Duty Finder.

===Rewards===
Normal raids drop a variety of equipment "tokens" which can be exchanged at certain vendors for high item level gear. In addition, the final duty of a current-[[expansion]] Normal raid will grant a [[Raid Tokens|Completion Reward]], of which seven can be exchanged along with 500 of the current capped tomestones for a weapon that is 10 item levels higher than current crafted gear. In a later patch, this requirement is lowered to four of the rewarded item. When a Normal raid series is current, players may obtain one token per duty and one reward item from the final floor per week. This restriction is usually lifted a few weeks before the release of the next raid tier.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Savage Raids==
Each normal raid also has a higher-difficulty equivalent, called a '''savage raid''', which uses the same boss but with more difficult mechanics, more health, and higher outgoing damage. In addition, all Savage bosses have a time limit in which they must be defeated or they will wipe the party with an enrage ability. Savage encounters usually follow a gradually increasing difficulty curve, with the first two encounters usually comparable or slighty higher in difficulty to an Extreme trial, and the last two encounters being significantly more challenging, although there are exceptions to this trend<ref group="fn">The second-floor fights {{questlink|raid|Anabaseios: The Tenth Circle (Savage)}} and {{questlink|raid|AAC Cruiserweight M2 (Savage)}} are generally considered to be more difficult than the third fights in their respective tier.</ref>. Beginning with [[Omega: Deltascape (Savage)]], the final duty of each Savage raid tier is usually split into two boss encounters, with a checkpoint in between, meaning that wiping to the second phase will reset the party to the start of that phase. However, leaving the instance and resetting will require defeating the first phase again to re-acquire the checkpoint. The exceptions are [[Eden's Gate: Sepulture (Savage)]], [[Eden's Verse: Refulgence (Savage)]], [[AAC Light-heavyweight M4 (Savage)]], and [[AAC Cruiserweight M4 (Savage)]], which are long singular encounters containing boss phases exclusive to the Savage version, but no checkpoint. The first phase is usually referred to as a ''[[door boss]]'' by the community.

Since Deltascape (Savage), the first Savage tier in an expansion is deliberately tuned to be easier to allow players to become accustomed to the expansion's job changes and additions, and to encourage newer players to participate in high-end raiding. The second and third tiers are then designed to be more challenging than the first.

When a savage raid is no longer new, {{buff|the echo}} [[The Echo]] will applied to all players upon entering the duty, and the strength of this buff will not increase upon wiping. Savage raids from prior expansions are typically done with an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled) to complete them more easily, which does not impact rewards. However, some [[Battle Achievements|achievements]] require completing the final encounter of a previous savage raid tier with a full party of {{BLU}} [[Blue Mage|blue mages]] with silence [[The Echo|echo]] and level sync enabled.

===Participation===
Savage raids are released 2 weeks after normal raids in the x.05 patch of an expansion, and 1 week after the normal raid tier in the x.2 and x.4 patches. They can be unlocked by completing the respective Normal raid tier and associated quests, then speaking to a certain NPC depending on the raid series. Completion of the previous tier's Savage encounters is not required to unlock the current Savage tier. Savage raids are typically too difficult to be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking, so players in most data centers opt to use [[Party Finder]] for both practice and duty completion, or form "static" raid groups with other players.

Savage raids have a higher average minimum item level than the corresponding Normal raids, with the requirement for the first floor 15 item levels higher than the corresponding normal raids, the second floor being 20 item levels higher, and the third and fourth floors being 25 item levels higher. Savage raids are always released with new crafted and normal raid gear that meet the minimum item level for the last floors, along with weekly-capped tomestone gear that is 10 item levels higher. Gear purchased with the existing uncapped Allagan Tomestone will match the minimum item level for the first savage floor only. Players who wish to aim for an early clear of the tier are strongly advised to acquire a full set of {{HQ}} ''[[High Quality]]'' crafted gear and fully [[Materia Melding|meld]] it with [[materia]] ("pentamelding"), although this is a costly process. For the second and third Savage tier of an expansion, the extreme trial that was released with the patch will drop weapons that are 5 item levels higher than the crafted weapon, providing a good starting point for players who wish to participate in the tier.

With the advent of [[Data Center Travel]], players looking to participate in high-end duties, especially savage and ultimate raids, have started congregating in one data center per geographic region. These are
* North America: Aether
* Europe: Light
* Japan: Mana

Players on other data centers who wish to participate in current high-end content through Party Finder may find it necessary to travel to their region's primary "raiding" data center in order to form a party in a reasonable timeframe.

===Rewards===
Savage raids drop coffers that can be used to obtain equipment 20 item levels higher than the respective normal raid tier's loot. In addition, Savage raids reward items that can be used to augment the current weekly-capped tomestone equipment to the same item level as Savage gear. The final duty of each Savage raid tier rewards weapons that are at the maximum item level and exclusive mounts. For each job, the "best-in-slot" gear for a patch usually comprises a mixture of Savage gear and augmented tomestone gear based on which pieces provide the most desirable sub-stats.

Each duty in a Savage raid tier will also reward each party member with a [[Raid Tokens|book]], of which a certain number can be exchanged for equipment coffers and upgrade materials. When a Savage raid series is current, players may obtain one book per duty per week. In addition, the number of rewards that appear upon completion and can be rolled for will depend on how many players have completed the duty for the week. If one to four party members have completed the duty for the week, fewer items will appear in the treasure coffer. If more than five party members have completed the duty for the week, the treasure coffer will not appear. Unlike Normal raids, there is no restriction on how many rewards a single player can win from loot rolls as long as a chest appears. However, once a player has completed a duty for the week and leaves the instance, they will not be able to roll for loot upon defeating the boss again, regardless of whether they rolled or won any items the first time, until the weekly reset time.

Upon registering for and completing a current Savage raid, the player's weekly progress will be updated to that point, preventing them from obtaining rewards from previous raids regardless of whether they have completed them for the week. Older tiers also do not have loot restrictions.

Example: A player has yet to complete AAC Cruiserweight M1 (Savage) for the week. They cannot register for Cruiserweight M2 (Savage). However, they join a premade party in which the leader has completed AAC Cruiserweight M1 (Savage) for the week and can register for AAC Cruiserweight M2 (Savage). The player can enter AAC Cruiserweight M2 (Savage), but upon entering, they will forfeit all rewards from AAC Cruiserweight M1 (Savage) until the next weekly reset.

Reward eligibility is [[reset]] every Tuesday at 8:00 (GMT).
* In the event a raid is underway when reward eligibility is reset, players will still be permitted to vie for items during the upcoming week.

==[[File:Ultimate Raid.png|25px|link=]] Ultimate Raids==
Beginning with Stormblood, some raid tiers are also followed by a single '''ultimate raid''' released two weeks into the following odd-numbered major patch (i.e., x.11 or x.31). With the exception of [[Shadowbringers]], each expansion contains two ultimate raids. Ultimate raids are boss gauntlet style encounters where players encounter a series of significantly more powerful bosses from previous raids, trials, and dungeons. The final boss of an Ultimate raid is an original enemy design that was not present in earlier duties. Wiping at any point in the gauntlet will reset the encounter to the beginning. The sole exception is {{questlink|ultimateraid|Dragonsong's Reprise (Ultimate)}}, which has one checkpoint after the first phase of the encounter.

===Participation===
Ultimate raids can be unlocked by completing the fourth encounter of the Savage raid tier released in the previous patch from when the ultimate raid was released. Players must form a full party of 8 people to enter an instance; matchmaking through Duty Finder or Raid Finder is unavailable. Moreover, to mostly preserve the difficulty of ultimate raids even as newer content is released, each ultimate raid has a strict item level sync and no option to complete using an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled). However, due to job overhauls and other battle system changes, older ultimate raids are currently more forgiving than when they were first released in terms of DPS, healing, and mitigation requirements, allowing much more room for error. More recent ultimate raids are also designed to be more mechanically punishing than older raids, allowing essentially no deaths outside of very specific areas.

Newly-released ultimate raids are designed for players who have maximum item level, best-in-slot gear. Note that the item level of best-in-slot armor and accessories is 5 item levels ''lower'' than the item level sync for a newly-released ultimate raid. Two major patches after an ultimate raid is released, players may acquire gear from the newly released dungeon, which will be at the same item level as the item level sync for the Ultimate raid. Unless if an ultimate raid is from a previous expansion, it is not desirable to sync down current item level gear, because sub-stats from materia melds will not carried over. For level 80 or lower ultimate raids, players are free to equip any Lv. 100 gear, as the item level sync calculations will maximize the possible sub-stats.<ref group="fn">Discord: Kupo Bot, !faq ultimatesync, accessed 10 February 2025

|}</ref>

Many players choose to form or join "static" raid groups with other players to progress and complete ultimate raids. However, it is also possible to use Party Finder to clear them, especially for older ultimate raids, due to the presence of standardized strategies. In addition, on some data centers there are Discord servers that coordinate guided clears or party finding. While all Ultimate raids are very difficult, ''The Weapon's Refrain'' ("UWU") is considered the most accessible ultimate raid, followed by ''The Unending Coil of Bahamut'', ''The Epic of Alexander'', and ''Futures Rewritten''. The most difficult raids are generally considered to be ''Dragonsong's Reprise'' and ''The Omega Protocol''.

[[Limited Jobs|Limited jobs]] and [[Free Trial|free trial]] players cannot participate in ultimate raids.

===Rewards===
Due to their very high difficulty, ultimate raids are meant to be prestige content that is not part of normal gear progression. Ultimate raids reward [[Raid Tokens|totems]] that can be traded at certain vendors for weapons with special particle effects. These weapons are of the same item level as the previous Savage raid tier's but contain an extra materia melding slot. Completion of ultimate raids also unlock achievements, exclusive titles, and [[Adventurer Plate]] designs. When an ultimate raid is newly-released, each party member may obtain one totem per week for completion; this restriction is lifted in the next major patch. The Adventurer Plate is also added in this patch and is automatically unlocked for anyone who cleared the raid, including before the plate was added.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Alliance Raids==
'''Alliance raids''' are fought by 24 players against a sequence of bosses and mobs, similar to a large-scale [[dungeon]]. The 24 players are divided into 3 full parties of 8 players, each consisting of 1 tank, 2 healers, and 5 DPS. These are all considered normal-difficulty content. All party's tanks are expected to [[Enmity|run stance]] since there are no off-tanks in alliance raids. The parties are also occasionally forced to split up and take separate routes or otherwise handle groups of enemies separately.

===Participation===
Alliance raids are released in odd-numbered patches (x.1, x.3, x.5), for a total of three alliance raids per expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. For each raid series, these duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first alliance raid of an expansion is required to unlock the second raid. To participate, players who meet the average minimum item level requirement can register using Duty Finder matchmaking.

===Rewards===
Each boss encounter in an alliance raid drops treasure chests containing equipment that can be rolled on, with the final boss also rewarding exclusive [[minion]]s, [[Triple Triad Cards]], and [[orchestrion rolls]]. The equipment is meant to be "catch-up" and is the same item item level as current, non-augmented tomestone gear. The final boss also drops a guaranteed [[Raid Tokens|coin]], which can be exchanged at certain vendors for tomestone gear upgrade materials that were previously exclusive to the current Savage raids. When an Alliance raid is current, each player can obtain one piece of equipment and one coin per week.

===Additional Information===
Owing its lack of an [[item level]] sync and substantial player power creep over time, the [[Crystal Tower]] alliance raids (with the third at a lesser extent) have become tediously easy duties that are often completed with little difficulty, to the point where mechanics on several bosses are ignored or outright skipped. As a result, many guides include mechanics that players will normally not experience unless on minimum [[Item Level|item level]] mode. Owing to this, players have developed a technique to deliberately lower their item level in the Alliance Roulette, so that it would select a Crystal Tower raid by default. As a result the developers decided to implement item level restrictions for the {{questlink|dutyroulette|Duty Roulette: Alliance Raids}} in [[Patch 6.5]], as to increase its diversity.

==[[File:Chaotic Alliance Raid.png|25px|link=]] Chaotic Alliance Raids==
'''Chaotic alliance raids''' are high-difficulty 24-player alliance raids fought against a single boss from previous alliance raids. The [[difficulty]] is comparable to a first or second-floor savage raid.

===Participation===
The first chaotic alliance raid was released one week after [[patch 7.15]]. It can be unlocked by completing {{questlink|main|Dawntrail (Quest)}} and then talking to the [[Wandering Minstrel]]. To participate, players can form pre-made parties via [[Party Finder]] before queuing in [[Raid Finder]]. Unlike regular alliance raids, chaotic raids are balanced around having 3 full parties each consisting of 2 tanks, 2 healers, and 4 DPS. However, pre-made parties can queue with a minimum of 12 players, although the difficulty will not be re-scaled.

===Rewards===
The first raid drops item level 730 armor, 2 [[mount]]s, a [[minion]], and a [[hairstyle]]. Some rewards can also be sold on the [[Market Board]]. In addition, each player will receive tokens that can be exchanged for rewards. The equipment has different [[substats]], which made certain pieces best-in-slot for specific jobs at the the time of release.

Unlike other current raids, there are no weekly restrictions on loot.

There are two additional loot bonuses:
*'''First Time Duty Bonus''': Additional tokens will be rewarded in proportion to the number of alliance members new to the duty.
*'''Limited Time Bonus''': A randomly occurring reward bonus<ref group="fn">The spawn "rules" for the bonus window are as follows:
*The window may begin at 3:00, 9:00, 15:00, or 21:00 GMT (24-hour clock) for all data centers.
*The time period may last for 3, 6, 9, or 12 hours, which is determined randomly per data center.
*After the window ends, there will be a cooldown of minimum 24 hours before another window can occur. There will then be a chance for a bonus window to start every 6 hours.
*The maximum cooldown is 48 hours, after which the bonus window will forcibly start.

Entering the duty during the bonus window will cause it to apply for the entirety of the instance, even if the fight is cleared after the bonus window expires.
</ref> that persists for several hours. Entering the duty during this period will give improved drop rates and additional tokens upon completion.

==[[File:Adventuring Foray.png|25px|link=]] Field Operation Raids==
'''Field Operation Raids''' do not fit the standard description or categorization of other "Raids" in Final Fantasy XIV. These are related to multiple expansions' [[field operations]] and often have unique entry requirements, high player counts, and vary in [[Difficulty]]. They are generally not tied to the core item level progression of your character aside from progressing [[Relic Weapon]] quests. These duties are most comparable to [[Alliance Raids]], and often feature unique mechanics that require a higher level of coordination between players to emerge victorious.

===Participation===
Unlock and entry to these duties are associated with their respective [[field operations]] systems and progression. Each of these raids allows the usage of Field Operation specific Duty Actions (See: [[Logos Actions]], [[Lost Actions]] and [[Phantom Job]]), that are sometimes required to progress, or provide unique benefits and power boosts to your character. Similar to [[Variant Dungeons]], there are no job or minimum party size requirements, however low player counts can make these duties incredibly challenging or impossible to complete. Due to their unique participation requirements, and not being accessible via the [[Duty Finder]], it is not possible to enter these instances with duty finder settings such as [[Unrestricted Party]] enabled.

===Rewards===
Each of these encounters rewards are specific to their respective field operations system. They often provide materials for a [[Relic Weapon]] as well as [[achievements]], expansion-specific [[tomestones]] and unique [[mounts]].

'''It's worth noting that {{questlink|eureka|The Baldesion Arsenal}}, {{questlink|bsf|Delubrum Reginae (Savage)}} and {{questlink|field-ops|Forked Tower}} are considered high-end duties.''' Although comparable to savage raids, there is generally less personal responsibility, with some exceptions, due to the large number of players required to take part. Much of the challenge comes in the form of the uniquely designed encounters and puzzles that make use of large organized raids. Additionally, players cannot be raised by most standard actions and will have the debuff [[File:Resurrection restricted icon1.png|link=Resurrect#Limitations]] '''Resurrection Restricted''' making deaths more punishing.

==Item Level Sync==
Unlike dungeons, most raids do not have item level syncs, which means your item level will be synced to the maximum obtainable gear at the job level you are synced to. This over time can make raids rather trivial, especially if they have a low minimum item level compared to the max obtainable for the expansion. For example, Alexander: The Fist of the Father has a minimum item level of 170, but high level players joining from Roulettes will often be synced to only 270/275, making the fight much shorter and less healing intensive than the original experience. Players that are looking for a more engaging and balanced experience may want to consider doing certain raids in a preformed group via Party Finder with the Minimum Item Level option enabled. This will adjust the gear for all involved to provide an experience somewhat closer to the original release.

Note that Minimum Item Level will only make the content as hard as the developers designed it to be at that item level. Normal Raids - with the exception of Coils of Bahamut - will still be easily clearable, while Savage Raids can be expected to generally be extremely brutal on this setting.

==Achievements==
Raid completion is associated generally with the following [[achievements]]:

{| {{STDT|mech1}}
{{achievement table header}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons I}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons II}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons III}}

|}

Specific raids will also reward certain [[Raids Achievements|achievements]] upon completion.

[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] '''Raids''' are the core of the [[endgame]], posing the greatest challenges and offering the strongest loot. Unlike dungeons or trials, current-tier raids have limitations on how much loot players can receive per week. These limitations are removed once the raid is old, to make it easier to catch up. Raids are almost always optional content for [[Main Scenario Quest]] progression (the only exception being the level 50 [[Alliance Raid]] series), although some raids are prerequisites for other optional questlines.
{{TOC limit|3}}
==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Normal Raids==
'''Normal raids''' are fought by 8 players usually against a single boss, similar to a [[trial]].<ref group="fn">There are a few exceptions to this formula. The first is {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 3}}, which is a jumping puzzle with no boss and no substantial rewards. Another exception is {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 4}}, which is a gauntlet fight with no final boss. A third exception is {{questlink|raid|Alexander - The Cuff of the Father}} (both normal and savage), which also contains a gauntlet.</ref> Older raids may have other enemies or mini-bosses before the final boss, but the single-boss format has been consistent since [[Omega: Deltascape]]. Normal raids are similar in [[difficulty]] to story-difficulty trials and can be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking. The exception is the Lv. 50 Bahamut raid series, which is closer to Savage difficulty by default.

===Participation===
Normal raids are released in sets of four duties in the x.01, x.2, and x.4 patches of an expansion, for a total of 12 duties over three raid tiers in an expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. These duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first tier is required to unlock the second tier. Players who meet the minimum item level requirement for a normal raid can queue for it through Duty Finder.

===Rewards===
Normal raids drop a variety of equipment "tokens" which can be exchanged at certain vendors for high item level gear. In addition, the final duty of a current-[[expansion]] Normal raid will grant a [[Raid Tokens|Completion Reward]], of which seven can be exchanged along with 500 of the current capped tomestones for a weapon that is 10 item levels higher than current crafted gear. In a later patch, this requirement is lowered to four of the rewarded item. When a Normal raid series is current, players may obtain one token per duty and one reward item from the final floor per week. This restriction is usually lifted a few weeks before the release of the next raid tier.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Savage Raids==
Each normal raid also has a higher-difficulty equivalent, called a '''savage raid''', which uses the same boss but with more difficult mechanics, more health, and higher outgoing damage. In addition, all Savage bosses have a time limit in which they must be defeated or they will wipe the party with an enrage ability. Savage encounters usually follow a gradually increasing difficulty curve, with the first two encounters usually comparable or slighty higher in difficulty to an Extreme trial, and the last two encounters being significantly more challenging, although there are exceptions to this trend<ref group="fn">The second-floor fights {{questlink|raid|Anabaseios: The Tenth Circle (Savage)}} and {{questlink|raid|AAC Cruiserweight M2 (Savage)}} are generally considered to be more difficult than the third fights in their respective tier.</ref>. Beginning with [[Omega: Deltascape (Savage)]], the final duty of each Savage raid tier is usually split into two boss encounters, with a checkpoint in between, meaning that wiping to the second phase will reset the party to the start of that phase. However, leaving the instance and resetting will require defeating the first phase again to re-acquire the checkpoint. The exceptions are [[Eden's Gate: Sepulture (Savage)]], [[Eden's Verse: Refulgence (Savage)]], [[AAC Light-heavyweight M4 (Savage)]], and [[AAC Cruiserweight M4 (Savage)]], which are long singular encounters containing boss phases exclusive to the Savage version, but no checkpoint. The first phase is usually referred to as a ''[[door boss]]'' by the community.

Since Deltascape (Savage), the first Savage tier in an expansion is deliberately tuned to be easier to allow players to become accustomed to the expansion's job changes and additions, and to encourage newer players to participate in high-end raiding. The second and third tiers are then designed to be more challenging than the first.

When a savage raid is no longer new, {{buff|the echo}} [[The Echo]] will applied to all players upon entering the duty, and the strength of this buff will not increase upon wiping. Savage raids from prior expansions are typically done with an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled) to complete them more easily, which does not impact rewards. However, some [[Battle Achievements|achievements]] require completing the final encounter of a previous savage raid tier with a full party of {{BLU}} [[Blue Mage|blue mages]] with silence [[The Echo|echo]] and level sync enabled.

===Participation===
Savage raids are released 2 weeks after normal raids in the x.05 patch of an expansion, and 1 week after the normal raid tier in the x.2 and x.4 patches. They can be unlocked by completing the respective Normal raid tier and associated quests, then speaking to a certain NPC depending on the raid series. Completion of the previous tier's Savage encounters is not required to unlock the current Savage tier. Savage raids are typically too difficult to be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking, so players in most data centers opt to use [[Party Finder]] for both practice and duty completion, or form "static" raid groups with other players.

Savage raids have a higher average minimum item level than the corresponding Normal raids, with the requirement for the first floor 15 item levels higher than the corresponding normal raids, the second floor being 20 item levels higher, and the third and fourth floors being 25 item levels higher. Savage raids are always released with new crafted and normal raid gear that meet the minimum item level for the last floors, along with weekly-capped tomestone gear that is 10 item levels higher. Gear purchased with the existing uncapped Allagan Tomestone will match the minimum item level for the first savage floor only. Players who wish to aim for an early clear of the tier are strongly advised to acquire a full set of {{HQ}} ''[[High Quality]]'' crafted gear and fully [[Materia Melding|meld]] it with [[materia]] ("pentamelding"), although this is a costly process. For the second and third Savage tier of an expansion, the extreme trial that was released with the patch will drop weapons that are 5 item levels higher than the crafted weapon, providing a good starting point for players who wish to participate in the tier.

With the advent of [[Data Center Travel]], players looking to participate in high-end duties, especially savage and ultimate raids, have started congregating in one data center per geographic region. These are
* North America: Aether
* Europe: Light
* Japan: Mana

Players on other data centers who wish to participate in current high-end content through Party Finder may find it necessary to travel to their region's primary "raiding" data center in order to form a party in a reasonable timeframe.

===Rewards===
Savage raids drop coffers that can be used to obtain equipment 20 item levels higher than the respective normal raid tier's loot. In addition, Savage raids reward items that can be used to augment the current weekly-capped tomestone equipment to the same item level as Savage gear. The final duty of each Savage raid tier rewards weapons that are at the maximum item level and exclusive mounts. For each job, the "best-in-slot" gear for a patch usually comprises a mixture of Savage gear and augmented tomestone gear based on which pieces provide the most desirable sub-stats.

Each duty in a Savage raid tier will also reward each party member with a [[Raid Tokens|book]], of which a certain number can be exchanged for equipment coffers and upgrade materials. When a Savage raid series is current, players may obtain one book per duty per week. In addition, the number of rewards that appear upon completion and can be rolled for will depend on how many players have completed the duty for the week. If one to four party members have completed the duty for the week, fewer items will appear in the treasure coffer. If more than five party members have completed the duty for the week, the treasure coffer will not appear. Unlike Normal raids, there is no restriction on how many rewards a single player can win from loot rolls as long as a chest appears. However, once a player has completed a duty for the week and leaves the instance, they will not be able to roll for loot upon defeating the boss again, regardless of whether they rolled or won any items the first time, until the weekly reset time.

Upon registering for and completing a current Savage raid, the player's weekly progress will be updated to that point, preventing them from obtaining rewards from previous raids regardless of whether they have completed them for the week. Older tiers also do not have loot restrictions.

Example: A player has yet to complete AAC Cruiserweight M1 (Savage) for the week. They cannot register for Cruiserweight M2 (Savage). However, they join a premade party in which the leader has completed AAC Cruiserweight M1 (Savage) for the week and can register for AAC Cruiserweight M2 (Savage). The player can enter AAC Cruiserweight M2 (Savage), but upon entering, they will forfeit all rewards from AAC Cruiserweight M1 (Savage) until the next weekly reset.

Reward eligibility is [[reset]] every Tuesday at 8:00 (GMT).
* In the event a raid is underway when reward eligibility is reset, players will still be permitted to vie for items during the upcoming week.

==[[File:Ultimate Raid.png|25px|link=]] Ultimate Raids==
Beginning with Stormblood, some raid tiers are also followed by a single '''ultimate raid''' released two weeks into the following odd-numbered major patch (i.e., x.11 or x.31). With the exception of [[Shadowbringers]], each expansion contains two ultimate raids. Ultimate raids are boss gauntlet style encounters where players encounter a series of significantly more powerful bosses from previous raids, trials, and dungeons. The final boss of an Ultimate raid is an original enemy design that was not present in earlier duties. Wiping at any point in the gauntlet will reset the encounter to the beginning. The sole exception is {{questlink|ultimateraid|Dragonsong's Reprise (Ultimate)}}, which has one checkpoint after the first phase of the encounter.

===Participation===
Ultimate raids can be unlocked by completing the fourth encounter of the Savage raid tier released in the previous patch from when the ultimate raid was released. Players must form a full party of 8 people to enter an instance; matchmaking through Duty Finder or Raid Finder is unavailable. Moreover, to mostly preserve the difficulty of ultimate raids even as newer content is released, each ultimate raid has a strict item level sync and no option to complete using an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled). However, due to job overhauls and other battle system changes, older ultimate raids are currently more forgiving than when they were first released in terms of DPS, healing, and mitigation requirements, allowing much more room for error. More recent ultimate raids are also designed to be more mechanically punishing than older raids, allowing essentially no deaths outside of very specific areas.

Newly-released ultimate raids are designed for players who have maximum item level, best-in-slot gear. Note that the item level of best-in-slot armor and accessories is 5 item levels ''lower'' than the item level sync for a newly-released ultimate raid. Two major patches after an ultimate raid is released, players may acquire gear from the newly released dungeon, which will be at the same item level as the item level sync for the Ultimate raid. Unless if an ultimate raid is from a previous expansion, it is not desirable to sync down current item level gear, because sub-stats from materia melds will not carried over. For level 80 or lower ultimate raids, players are free to equip any Lv. 100 gear, as the item level sync calculations will maximize the possible sub-stats.<ref group="fn">Discord: Kupo Bot, !faq ultimatesync, accessed 10 February 2025

Many players choose to form or join "static" raid groups with other players to progress and complete ultimate raids. However, it is also possible to use Party Finder to clear them, especially for older ultimate raids, due to the presence of standardized strategies. In addition, on some data centers there are Discord servers that coordinate guided clears or party finding. While all Ultimate raids are very difficult, ''The Weapon's Refrain'' ("UWU") is considered the most accessible ultimate raid, followed by ''The Unending Coil of Bahamut'', ''The Epic of Alexander'', and ''Futures Rewritten''. The most difficult raids are generally considered to be ''Dragonsong's Reprise'' and ''The Omega Protocol''.

[[Limited Jobs|Limited jobs]] and [[Free Trial|free trial]] players cannot participate in ultimate raids.

===Rewards===
Due to their very high difficulty, ultimate raids are meant to be prestige content that is not part of normal gear progression. Ultimate raids reward [[Raid Tokens|totems]] that can be traded at certain vendors for weapons with special particle effects. These weapons are of the same item level as the previous Savage raid tier's but contain an extra materia melding slot. Completion of ultimate raids also unlock achievements, exclusive titles, and [[Adventurer Plate]] designs. When an ultimate raid is newly-released, each party member may obtain one totem per week for completion; this restriction is lifted in the next major patch. The Adventurer Plate is also added in this patch and is automatically unlocked for anyone who cleared the raid, including before the plate was added.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Alliance Raids==
'''Alliance raids''' are fought by 24 players against a sequence of bosses and mobs, similar to a large-scale [[dungeon]]. The 24 players are divided into 3 full parties of 8 players, each consisting of 1 tank, 2 healers, and 5 DPS. These are all considered normal-difficulty content. All party's tanks are expected to [[Enmity|run stance]] since there are no off-tanks in alliance raids. The parties are also occasionally forced to split up and take separate routes or otherwise handle groups of enemies separately.

===Participation===
Alliance raids are released in odd-numbered patches (x.1, x.3, x.5), for a total of three alliance raids per expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. For each raid series, these duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first alliance raid of an expansion is required to unlock the second raid. To participate, players who meet the average minimum item level requirement can register using Duty Finder matchmaking.

===Rewards===
Each boss encounter in an alliance raid drops treasure chests containing equipment that can be rolled on, with the final boss also rewarding exclusive [[minion]]s, [[Triple Triad Cards]], and [[orchestrion rolls]]. The equipment is meant to be "catch-up" and is the same item item level as current, non-augmented tomestone gear. The final boss also drops a guaranteed [[Raid Tokens|coin]], which can be exchanged at certain vendors for tomestone gear upgrade materials that were previously exclusive to the current Savage raids. When an Alliance raid is current, each player can obtain one piece of equipment and one coin per week.

===Additional Information===
Owing its lack of an [[item level]] sync and substantial player power creep over time, the [[Crystal Tower]] alliance raids (with the third at a lesser extent) have become tediously easy duties that are often completed with little difficulty, to the point where mechanics on several bosses are ignored or outright skipped. As a result, many guides include mechanics that players will normally not experience unless on minimum [[Item Level|item level]] mode. Owing to this, players have developed a technique to deliberately lower their item level in the Alliance Roulette, so that it would select a Crystal Tower raid by default. As a result the developers decided to implement item level restrictions for the {{questlink|dutyroulette|Duty Roulette: Alliance Raids}} in [[Patch 6.5]], as to increase its diversity.

==[[File:Chaotic Alliance Raid.png|25px|link=]] Chaotic Alliance Raids==
'''Chaotic alliance raids''' are high-difficulty 24-player alliance raids fought against a single boss from previous alliance raids. The [[difficulty]] is comparable to a first or second-floor savage raid.

===Participation===
The first chaotic alliance raid was released one week after [[patch 7.15]]. It can be unlocked by completing {{questlink|main|Dawntrail (Quest)}} and then talking to the [[Wandering Minstrel]]. To participate, players can form pre-made parties via [[Party Finder]] before queuing in [[Raid Finder]]. Unlike regular alliance raids, chaotic raids are balanced around having 3 full parties each consisting of 2 tanks, 2 healers, and 4 DPS. However, pre-made parties can queue with a minimum of 12 players, although the difficulty will not be re-scaled.

===Rewards===
The first raid drops item level 730 armor, 2 [[mount]]s, a [[minion]], and a [[hairstyle]]. Some rewards can also be sold on the [[Market Board]]. In addition, each player will receive tokens that can be exchanged for rewards. The equipment has different [[substats]], which made certain pieces best-in-slot for specific jobs at the the time of release.

Unlike other current raids, there are no weekly restrictions on loot.

There are two additional loot bonuses:
*'''First Time Duty Bonus''': Additional tokens will be rewarded in proportion to the number of alliance members new to the duty.
*'''Limited Time Bonus''': A randomly occurring reward bonus<ref group="fn">The spawn "rules" for the bonus window are as follows:
*The window may begin at 3:00, 9:00, 15:00, or 21:00 GMT (24-hour clock) for all data centers.
*The time period may last for 3, 6, 9, or 12 hours, which is determined randomly per data center.
*After the window ends, there will be a cooldown of minimum 24 hours before another window can occur. There will then be a chance for a bonus window to start every 6 hours.
*The maximum cooldown is 48 hours, after which the bonus window will forcibly start.

Entering the duty during the bonus window will cause it to apply for the entirety of the instance, even if the fight is cleared after the bonus window expires.
</ref> that persists for several hours. Entering the duty during this period will give improved drop rates and additional tokens upon completion.

==[[File:Adventuring Foray.png|25px|link=]] Field Operation Raids==
'''Field Operation Raids''' do not fit the standard description or categorization of other "Raids" in Final Fantasy XIV. These are related to multiple expansions' [[field operations]] and often have unique entry requirements, high player counts, and vary in [[Difficulty]]. They are generally not tied to the core item level progression of your character aside from progressing [[Relic Weapon]] quests. These duties are most comparable to [[Alliance Raids]], and often feature unique mechanics that require a higher level of coordination between players to emerge victorious.

===Participation===
Unlock and entry to these duties are associated with their respective [[field operations]] systems and progression. Each of these raids allows the usage of Field Operation specific Duty Actions (See: [[Logos Actions]], [[Lost Actions]] and [[Phantom Job]]), that are sometimes required to progress, or provide unique benefits and power boosts to your character. Similar to [[Variant Dungeons]], there are no job or minimum party size requirements, however low player counts can make these duties incredibly challenging or impossible to complete. Due to their unique participation requirements, and not being accessible via the [[Duty Finder]], it is not possible to enter these instances with duty finder settings such as [[Unrestricted Party]] enabled.

===Rewards===
Each of these encounters rewards are specific to their respective field operations system. They often provide materials for a [[Relic Weapon]] as well as [[achievements]], expansion-specific [[tomestones]] and unique [[mounts]].

'''It's worth noting that {{questlink|eureka|The Baldesion Arsenal}}, {{questlink|bsf|Delubrum Reginae (Savage)}} and {{questlink|field-ops|Forked Tower}} are considered high-end duties.''' Although comparable to savage raids, there is generally less personal responsibility, with some exceptions, due to the large number of players required to take part. Much of the challenge comes in the form of the uniquely designed encounters and puzzles that make use of large organized raids. Additionally, players cannot be raised by most standard actions and will have the debuff [[File:Resurrection restricted icon1.png|link=Resurrect#Limitations]] '''Resurrection Restricted''' making deaths more punishing.

==Item Level Sync==
Unlike dungeons, most raids do not have item level syncs, which means your item level will be synced to the maximum obtainable gear at the job level you are synced to. This over time can make raids rather trivial, especially if they have a low minimum item level compared to the max obtainable for the expansion. For example, Alexander: The Fist of the Father has a minimum item level of 170, but high level players joining from Roulettes will often be synced to only 270/275, making the fight much shorter and less healing intensive than the original experience. Players that are looking for a more engaging and balanced experience may want to consider doing certain raids in a preformed group via Party Finder with the Minimum Item Level option enabled. This will adjust the gear for all involved to provide an experience somewhat closer to the original release.

Note that Minimum Item Level will only make the content as hard as the developers designed it to be at that item level. Normal Raids - with the exception of Coils of Bahamut - will still be easily clearable, while Savage Raids can be expected to generally be extremely brutal on this setting.

==Achievements==
Raid completion is associated generally with the following [[achievements]]:

{| {{STDT|mech1}}
{{achievement table header}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons I}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons II}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons III}}

ArcaneToast: /* 25px|link= Field Operation Raids */

:''See also: [[Dungeons]], [[Trials]], [[Deep Dungeon]], [[Field Operations]], [[Variant Dungeons]], [[Criterion Dungeons]]''
[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] '''Raids''' are the core of the [[endgame]], posing the greatest challenges and offering the strongest loot. Unlike dungeons or trials, current-tier raids have limitations on how much loot players can receive per week. These limitations are removed once the raid is old, to make it easier to catch up. Raids are almost always optional content for [[Main Scenario Quest]] progression (the only exception being the level 50 [[Alliance Raid]] series), although some raids are prerequisites for other optional questlines.
{{TOC limit|3}}
==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Normal Raids==
'''Normal raids''' are fought by 8 players usually against a single boss, similar to a [[trial]].<ref group="fn">There are a few exceptions to this formula. The first is {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 3}}, which is a jumping puzzle with no boss and no substantial rewards. Another exception is {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 4}}, which is a gauntlet fight with no final boss. A third exception is {{questlink|raid|Alexander - The Cuff of the Father}} (both normal and savage), which also contains a gauntlet.</ref> Older raids may have other enemies or mini-bosses before the final boss, but the single-boss format has been consistent since [[Omega: Deltascape]]. Normal raids are similar in [[difficulty]] to story-difficulty trials and can be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking. The exception is the Lv. 50 Bahamut raid series, which is closer to Savage difficulty by default.

===Participation===
Normal raids are released in sets of four duties in the x.01, x.2, and x.4 patches of an expansion, for a total of 12 duties over three raid tiers in an expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. These duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first tier is required to unlock the second tier. Players who meet the minimum item level requirement for a normal raid can queue for it through Duty Finder.

===Rewards===
Normal raids drop a variety of equipment "tokens" which can be exchanged at certain vendors for high item level gear. In addition, the final duty of a current-[[expansion]] Normal raid will grant a [[Raid Tokens|Completion Reward]], of which seven can be exchanged along with 500 of the current capped tomestones for a weapon that is 10 item levels higher than current crafted gear. In a later patch, this requirement is lowered to four of the rewarded item. When a Normal raid series is current, players may obtain one token per duty and one reward item from the final floor per week. This restriction is usually lifted a few weeks before the release of the next raid tier.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Savage Raids==
Each normal raid also has a higher-difficulty equivalent, called a '''savage raid''', which uses the same boss but with more difficult mechanics, more health, and higher outgoing damage. In addition, all Savage bosses have a time limit in which they must be defeated or they will wipe the party with an enrage ability. Savage encounters usually follow a gradually increasing difficulty curve, with the first two encounters usually comparable or slighty higher in difficulty to an Extreme trial, and the last two encounters being significantly more challenging, although there are exceptions to this trend<ref group="fn">The second-floor fights {{questlink|raid|Anabaseios: The Tenth Circle (Savage)}} and {{questlink|raid|AAC Cruiserweight M2 (Savage)}} are generally considered to be more difficult than the third fights in their respective tier.</ref>. Beginning with [[Omega: Deltascape (Savage)]], the final duty of each Savage raid tier is usually split into two boss encounters, with a checkpoint in between, meaning that wiping to the second phase will reset the party to the start of that phase. However, leaving the instance and resetting will require defeating the first phase again to re-acquire the checkpoint. The exceptions are [[Eden's Gate: Sepulture (Savage)]], [[Eden's Verse: Refulgence (Savage)]], [[AAC Light-heavyweight M4 (Savage)]], and [[AAC Cruiserweight M4 (Savage)]], which are long singular encounters containing boss phases exclusive to the Savage version, but no checkpoint. The first phase is usually referred to as a ''[[door boss]]'' by the community.

Since Deltascape (Savage), the first Savage tier in an expansion is deliberately tuned to be easier to allow players to become accustomed to the expansion's job changes and additions, and to encourage newer players to participate in high-end raiding. The second and third tiers are then designed to be more challenging than the first.

When a savage raid is no longer new, {{buff|the echo}} [[The Echo]] will applied to all players upon entering the duty, and the strength of this buff will not increase upon wiping. Savage raids from prior expansions are typically done with an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled) to complete them more easily, which does not impact rewards. However, some [[Battle Achievements|achievements]] require completing the final encounter of a previous savage raid tier with a full party of {{BLU}} [[Blue Mage|blue mages]] with silence [[The Echo|echo]] and level sync enabled.

===Participation===
Savage raids are released 2 weeks after normal raids in the x.05 patch of an expansion, and 1 week after the normal raid tier in the x.2 and x.4 patches. They can be unlocked by completing the respective Normal raid tier and associated quests, then speaking to a certain NPC depending on the raid series. Completion of the previous tier's Savage encounters is not required to unlock the current Savage tier. Savage raids are typically too difficult to be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking, so players in most data centers opt to use [[Party Finder]] for both practice and duty completion, or form "static" raid groups with other players.

Savage raids have a higher average minimum item level than the corresponding Normal raids, with the requirement for the first floor 15 item levels higher than the corresponding normal raids, the second floor being 20 item levels higher, and the third and fourth floors being 25 item levels higher. Savage raids are always released with new crafted and normal raid gear that meet the minimum item level for the last floors, along with weekly-capped tomestone gear that is 10 item levels higher. Gear purchased with the existing uncapped Allagan Tomestone will match the minimum item level for the first savage floor only. Players who wish to aim for an early clear of the tier are strongly advised to acquire a full set of {{HQ}} ''[[High Quality]]'' crafted gear and fully [[Materia Melding|meld]] it with [[materia]] ("pentamelding"), although this is a costly process. For the second and third Savage tier of an expansion, the extreme trial that was released with the patch will drop weapons that are 5 item levels higher than the crafted weapon, providing a good starting point for players who wish to participate in the tier.

With the advent of [[Data Center Travel]], players looking to participate in high-end duties, especially savage and ultimate raids, have started congregating in one data center per geographic region. These are
* North America: Aether
* Europe: Light
* Japan: Mana

Players on other data centers who wish to participate in current high-end content through Party Finder may find it necessary to travel to their region's primary "raiding" data center in order to form a party in a reasonable timeframe.

===Rewards===
Savage raids drop coffers that can be used to obtain equipment 20 item levels higher than the respective normal raid tier's loot. In addition, Savage raids reward items that can be used to augment the current weekly-capped tomestone equipment to the same item level as Savage gear. The final duty of each Savage raid tier rewards weapons that are at the maximum item level and exclusive mounts. For each job, the "best-in-slot" gear for a patch usually comprises a mixture of Savage gear and augmented tomestone gear based on which pieces provide the most desirable sub-stats.

Each duty in a Savage raid tier will also reward each party member with a [[Raid Tokens|book]], of which a certain number can be exchanged for equipment coffers and upgrade materials. When a Savage raid series is current, players may obtain one book per duty per week. In addition, the number of rewards that appear upon completion and can be rolled for will depend on how many players have completed the duty for the week. If one to four party members have completed the duty for the week, fewer items will appear in the treasure coffer. If more than five party members have completed the duty for the week, the treasure coffer will not appear. Unlike Normal raids, there is no restriction on how many rewards a single player can win from loot rolls as long as a chest appears. However, once a player has completed a duty for the week and leaves the instance, they will not be able to roll for loot upon defeating the boss again, regardless of whether they rolled or won any items the first time, until the weekly reset time.

Upon registering for and completing a current Savage raid, the player's weekly progress will be updated to that point, preventing them from obtaining rewards from previous raids regardless of whether they have completed them for the week. Older tiers also do not have loot restrictions.

Example: A player has yet to complete AAC Cruiserweight M1 (Savage) for the week. They cannot register for Cruiserweight M2 (Savage). However, they join a premade party in which the leader has completed AAC Cruiserweight M1 (Savage) for the week and can register for AAC Cruiserweight M2 (Savage). The player can enter AAC Cruiserweight M2 (Savage), but upon entering, they will forfeit all rewards from AAC Cruiserweight M1 (Savage) until the next weekly reset.

Reward eligibility is [[reset]] every Tuesday at 8:00 (GMT).
* In the event a raid is underway when reward eligibility is reset, players will still be permitted to vie for items during the upcoming week.

==[[File:Ultimate Raid.png|25px|link=]] Ultimate Raids==
Beginning with Stormblood, some raid tiers are also followed by a single '''ultimate raid''' released two weeks into the following odd-numbered major patch (i.e., x.11 or x.31). With the exception of [[Shadowbringers]], each expansion contains two ultimate raids. Ultimate raids are boss gauntlet style encounters where players encounter a series of significantly more powerful bosses from previous raids, trials, and dungeons. The final boss of an Ultimate raid is an original enemy design that was not present in earlier duties. Wiping at any point in the gauntlet will reset the encounter to the beginning. The sole exception is {{questlink|ultimateraid|Dragonsong's Reprise (Ultimate)}}, which has one checkpoint after the first phase of the encounter.

===Participation===
Ultimate raids can be unlocked by completing the fourth encounter of the Savage raid tier released in the previous patch from when the ultimate raid was released. Players must form a full party of 8 people to enter an instance; matchmaking through Duty Finder or Raid Finder is unavailable. Moreover, to mostly preserve the difficulty of ultimate raids even as newer content is released, each ultimate raid has a strict item level sync and no option to complete using an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled). However, due to job overhauls and other battle system changes, older ultimate raids are currently more forgiving than when they were first released in terms of DPS, healing, and mitigation requirements, allowing much more room for error. More recent ultimate raids are also designed to be more mechanically punishing than older raids, allowing essentially no deaths outside of very specific areas.

Newly-released ultimate raids are designed for players who have maximum item level, best-in-slot gear. Note that the item level of best-in-slot armor and accessories is 5 item levels ''lower'' than the item level sync for a newly-released ultimate raid. Two major patches after an ultimate raid is released, players may acquire gear from the newly released dungeon, which will be at the same item level as the item level sync for the Ultimate raid. Unless if an ultimate raid is from a previous expansion, it is not desirable to sync down current item level gear, because sub-stats from materia melds will not carried over. For level 80 or lower ultimate raids, players are free to equip any Lv. 100 gear, as the item level sync calculations will maximize the possible sub-stats.<ref group="fn">Discord: Kupo Bot, !faq ultimatesync, accessed 10 February 2025

Many players choose to form or join "static" raid groups with other players to progress and complete ultimate raids. However, it is also possible to use Party Finder to clear them, especially for older ultimate raids, due to the presence of standardized strategies. In addition, on some data centers there are Discord servers that coordinate guided clears or party finding. While all Ultimate raids are very difficult, ''The Weapon's Refrain'' ("UWU") is considered the most accessible ultimate raid, followed by ''The Unending Coil of Bahamut'', ''The Epic of Alexander'', and ''Futures Rewritten''. The most difficult raids are generally considered to be ''Dragonsong's Reprise'' and ''The Omega Protocol''.

[[Limited Jobs|Limited jobs]] and [[Free Trial|free trial]] players cannot participate in ultimate raids.

===Rewards===
Due to their very high difficulty, ultimate raids are meant to be prestige content that is not part of normal gear progression. Ultimate raids reward [[Raid Tokens|totems]] that can be traded at certain vendors for weapons with special particle effects. These weapons are of the same item level as the previous Savage raid tier's but contain an extra materia melding slot. Completion of ultimate raids also unlock achievements, exclusive titles, and [[Adventurer Plate]] designs. When an ultimate raid is newly-released, each party member may obtain one totem per week for completion; this restriction is lifted in the next major patch. The Adventurer Plate is also added in this patch and is automatically unlocked for anyone who cleared the raid, including before the plate was added.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Alliance Raids==
'''Alliance raids''' are fought by 24 players against a sequence of bosses and mobs, similar to a large-scale [[dungeon]]. The 24 players are divided into 3 full parties of 8 players, each consisting of 1 tank, 2 healers, and 5 DPS. These are all considered normal-difficulty content. All party's tanks are expected to [[Enmity|run stance]] since there are no off-tanks in alliance raids. The parties are also occasionally forced to split up and take separate routes or otherwise handle groups of enemies separately.

===Participation===
Alliance raids are released in odd-numbered patches (x.1, x.3, x.5), for a total of three alliance raids per expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. For each raid series, these duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first alliance raid of an expansion is required to unlock the second raid. To participate, players who meet the average minimum item level requirement can register using Duty Finder matchmaking.

===Rewards===
Each boss encounter in an alliance raid drops treasure chests containing equipment that can be rolled on, with the final boss also rewarding exclusive [[minion]]s, [[Triple Triad Cards]], and [[orchestrion rolls]]. The equipment is meant to be "catch-up" and is the same item item level as current, non-augmented tomestone gear. The final boss also drops a guaranteed [[Raid Tokens|coin]], which can be exchanged at certain vendors for tomestone gear upgrade materials that were previously exclusive to the current Savage raids. When an Alliance raid is current, each player can obtain one piece of equipment and one coin per week.

===Additional Information===
Owing its lack of an [[item level]] sync and substantial player power creep over time, the [[Crystal Tower]] alliance raids (with the third at a lesser extent) have become tediously easy duties that are often completed with little difficulty, to the point where mechanics on several bosses are ignored or outright skipped. As a result, many guides include mechanics that players will normally not experience unless on minimum [[Item Level|item level]] mode. Owing to this, players have developed a technique to deliberately lower their item level in the Alliance Roulette, so that it would select a Crystal Tower raid by default. As a result the developers decided to implement item level restrictions for the {{questlink|dutyroulette|Duty Roulette: Alliance Raids}} in [[Patch 6.5]], as to increase its diversity.

==[[File:Chaotic Alliance Raid.png|25px|link=]] Chaotic Alliance Raids==
'''Chaotic alliance raids''' are high-difficulty 24-player alliance raids fought against a single boss from previous alliance raids. The [[difficulty]] is comparable to a first or second-floor savage raid.

===Participation===
The first chaotic alliance raid was released one week after [[patch 7.15]]. It can be unlocked by completing {{questlink|main|Dawntrail (Quest)}} and then talking to the [[Wandering Minstrel]]. To participate, players can form pre-made parties via [[Party Finder]] before queuing in [[Raid Finder]]. Unlike regular alliance raids, chaotic raids are balanced around having 3 full parties each consisting of 2 tanks, 2 healers, and 4 DPS. However, pre-made parties can queue with a minimum of 12 players, although the difficulty will not be re-scaled.

===Rewards===
The first raid drops item level 730 armor, 2 [[mount]]s, a [[minion]], and a [[hairstyle]]. Some rewards can also be sold on the [[Market Board]]. In addition, each player will receive tokens that can be exchanged for rewards. The equipment has different [[substats]], which made certain pieces best-in-slot for specific jobs at the the time of release.

Unlike other current raids, there are no weekly restrictions on loot.

There are two additional loot bonuses:
*'''First Time Duty Bonus''': Additional tokens will be rewarded in proportion to the number of alliance members new to the duty.
*'''Limited Time Bonus''': A randomly occurring reward bonus<ref group="fn">The spawn "rules" for the bonus window are as follows:
*The window may begin at 3:00, 9:00, 15:00, or 21:00 GMT (24-hour clock) for all data centers.
*The time period may last for 3, 6, 9, or 12 hours, which is determined randomly per data center.
*After the window ends, there will be a cooldown of minimum 24 hours before another window can occur. There will then be a chance for a bonus window to start every 6 hours.
*The maximum cooldown is 48 hours, after which the bonus window will forcibly start.

Entering the duty during the bonus window will cause it to apply for the entirety of the instance, even if the fight is cleared after the bonus window expires.
</ref> that persists for several hours. Entering the duty during this period will give improved drop rates and additional tokens upon completion.

==[[File:Adventuring Foray.png|25px|link=]] Field Operation Raids==
'''Field Operation Raids''' do not fit the standard description or categorization of other "Raids" in Final Fantasy XIV. These are related to multiple expansions' [[field operations]] and often have unique entry requirements, high player counts, and vary in [[Difficulty]]. They are generally not tied to the core item level progression of your character aside from progressing [[Relic Weapon]] quests. These duties are most comparable to [[Alliance Raids]], and often feature unique mechanics that require a higher level of coordination between players to emerge victorious.

===Participation===
Unlock and entry to these duties are associated with their respective [[field operations]] systems and progression. Each of these raids allows the usage of Field Operation specific Duty Actions (See: [[Logos Actions]], [[Lost Actions]] and [[Phantom Job]]), that are sometimes required to progress, or provide unique benefits and power boosts to your character. Similar to [[Variant Dungeons]], there are no job or minimum party size requirements, however low player counts can make these duties incredibly challenging or impossible to complete. Due to their unique participation requirements, and not being accessible via the [[Duty Finder]], it is not possible to enter these instances with duty finder settings such as [[Unrestricted Party]] enabled.

===Rewards===
Each of these encounters rewards are specific to their respective field operations system. They often provide materials for a [[Relic Weapon]] as well as [[achievements]], expansion-specific [[tomestones]] and unique [[mounts]].

'''It's worth noting that {{questlink|eureka|The Baldesion Arsenal}}, {{questlink|bsf|Delubrum Reginae (Savage)}} and {{questlink|field-ops|Forked Tower}} are considered high-end duties.''' Although comparable to savage raids, there is generally less personal responsibility, with some exceptions, due to the large number of players required to take part. Much of the challenge comes in the form of the uniquely designed encounters and puzzles that make use of large organized raids. Additionally, players cannot be raised by most standard actions and will have the debuff [[File:Resurrection restricted icon1.png|link=Resurrect#Limitations]] '''Resurrection Restricted''' making deaths more punishing.

==Item Level Sync==
Unlike dungeons, most raids do not have item level syncs, which means your item level will be synced to the maximum obtainable gear at the job level you are synced to. This over time can make raids rather trivial, especially if they have a low minimum item level compared to the max obtainable for the expansion. For example, Alexander: The Fist of the Father has a minimum item level of 170, but high level players joining from Roulettes will often be synced to only 270/275, making the fight much shorter and less healing intensive than the original experience. Players that are looking for a more engaging and balanced experience may want to consider doing certain raids in a preformed group via Party Finder with the Minimum Item Level option enabled. This will adjust the gear for all involved to provide an experience somewhat closer to the original release.

Note that Minimum Item Level will only make the content as hard as the developers designed it to be at that item level. Normal Raids - with the exception of Coils of Bahamut - will still be easily clearable, while Savage Raids can be expected to generally be extremely brutal on this setting.

==Achievements==
Raid completion is associated generally with the following [[achievements]]:

{| {{STDT|mech1}}
{{achievement table header}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons I}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons II}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons III}}

[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] '''Raids''' are the core of the [[endgame]], posing the greatest challenges and offering the strongest loot. Unlike dungeons or trials, current-tier raids have limitations on how much loot players can receive per week. These limitations are removed once the raid is old, to make it easier to catch up. Raids are almost always optional content for [[Main Scenario Quest]] progression (the only exception being the level 50 [[Alliance Raid]] series), although some raids are prerequisites for other optional questlines.
{{TOC limit|3}}
==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Normal Raids==
'''Normal raids''' are fought by 8 players usually against a single boss, similar to a [[trial]].<ref group="fn">There are a few exceptions to this formula. The first is {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 3}}, which is a jumping puzzle with no boss and no substantial rewards. Another exception is {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 4}}, which is a gauntlet fight with no final boss. A third exception is {{questlink|raid|Alexander - The Cuff of the Father}} (both normal and savage), which also contains a gauntlet.</ref> Older raids may have other enemies or mini-bosses before the final boss, but the single-boss format has been consistent since [[Omega: Deltascape]]. Normal raids are similar in [[difficulty]] to story-difficulty trials and can be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking. The exception is the Lv. 50 Bahamut raid series, which is closer to Savage difficulty by default.

Normal raids are released in sets of four duties in the x.01, x.2, and x.4 patches of an expansion, for a total of 12 duties over three raid tiers in an expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. These duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first tier is required to unlock the second tier. Players who meet the minimum item level requirement for a normal raid can queue for it through Duty Finder.

===Rewards===
Normal raids drop a variety of equipment "tokens" which can be exchanged at certain vendors for high item level gear. In addition, the final duty of a current-[[expansion]] Normal raid will grant a [[Raid Tokens|Completion Reward]], of which seven can be exchanged along with 500 of the current capped tomestones for a weapon that is 10 item levels higher than current crafted gear. In a later patch, this requirement is lowered to four of the rewarded item. When a Normal raid series is current, players may obtain one token per duty and one reward item from the final floor per week. This restriction is usually lifted a few weeks before the release of the next raid tier.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Savage Raids==
Each normal raid also has a higher-difficulty equivalent, called a '''savage raid''', which uses the same boss but with more difficult mechanics, more health, and higher outgoing damage. In addition, all Savage bosses have a time limit in which they must be defeated or they will wipe the party with an enrage ability. Savage encounters usually follow a gradually increasing difficulty curve, with the first two encounters usually comparable or slighty higher in difficulty to an Extreme trial, and the last two encounters being significantly more challenging, although there are exceptions to this trend. Beginning with [[Omega: Deltascape (Savage)]], the final duty of each Savage raid tier is usually split into two boss encounters, with a checkpoint in between, meaning that wiping to the second phase will reset the party to the start of that phase. However, leaving the instance and resetting will require defeating the first phase again to re-acquire the checkpoint. The exceptions are [[Eden's Gate: Sepulture (Savage)]], [[Eden's Verse: Refulgence (Savage)]], and [[AAC Light-heavyweight M4 (Savage)]], which are long singular encounters containing boss phases exclusive to the Savage version, but no checkpoint. The first phase is usually referred to as a ''[[door boss]]'' by the community.

Since Deltascape (Savage), the first Savage tier in an expansion is deliberately tuned to be easier to allow players to become accustomed to the expansion's job changes and additions, and to encourage newer players to participate in high-end raiding. The second and third tiers are then designed to be more challenging than the first.

When a savage raid is no longer new, {{buff|the echo}} [[The Echo]] will applied to all players upon entering the duty, and the strength of this buff will not increase upon wiping. Savage raids from prior expansions are typically done with an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled) to complete them more easily, which does not impact rewards. However, some [[Battle Achievements|achievements]] require completing the final encounter of a previous savage raid tier with a full party of {{BLU}} [[Blue Mage|blue mages]] with silence [[The Echo|echo]] and level sync enabled.

===Participation===
Savage raids are released 2 weeks after normal raids in the x.05 patch of an expansion, and 1 week after the normal raid tier in the x.2 and x.4 patches. They can be unlocked by completing the respective Normal raid tier and associated quests, then speaking to a certain NPC depending on the raid series. Completion of the previous tier's Savage encounters is not required to unlock the current Savage tier. Savage raids are typically too difficult to be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking, so players in most data centers opt to use [[Party Finder]] for both practice and duty completion, or form "static" raid groups with other players.

Savage raids have a higher average item level requirement than the corresponding Normal raids, with the requirement for the first floor being the same item level as the maximum item level armor in the previous patch, the second floor being 5 item levels higher, and the third and fourth floors being 10 item levels higher. Savage raids are always released with new crafted and normal raid gear that meet the minimum item level for the last floors, along with weekly-capped tomestone gear that is 10 item levels higher. Players who wish to aim for an early clear of the tier are strongly advised to acquire a full set of {{HQ}} ''[[High Quality]]'' crafted gear and fully [[Materia Melding|meld]] it with [[materia]] ("pentamelding"), although this is a costly process. For the second and third Savage tier of an expansion, the extreme trial that was released with the patch will drop weapons that are 5 item levels higher than the crafted weapon, providing a good starting point for players who wish to participate in the tier.

With the advent of [[Data Center Travel]], players looking to participate in high-end duties, especially savage and ultimate raids, have started congregating in one data center per geographic region. These are
* North America: Aether
* Europe: Light
* Japan: Mana

Players on other data centers who wish to participate in current high-end content through Party Finder may find it necessary to travel to their region's primary "raiding" data center in order to form a party in a reasonable timeframe.

===Rewards===
Savage raids drop coffers that can be used to obtain equipment 20 item levels higher than the respective normal raid tier's loot. In addition, Savage raids reward items that can be used to augment the current weekly-capped tomestone equipment to the same item level as Savage gear. The final duty of each Savage raid tier rewards weapons that are at the maximum item level and exclusive mounts. For each job, the "best-in-slot" gear for a patch usually comprises a mixture of Savage gear and augmented tomestone gear based on which pieces provide the most desirable sub-stats.

Each duty in a Savage raid tier will also reward each party member with a [[Raid Tokens|book]], of which a certain number can be exchanged for equipment coffers and upgrade materials. When a Savage raid series is current, players may obtain one book per duty per week. In addition, the number of rewards that appear upon completion and can be rolled for will depend on how many players have completed the duty for the week. If one to four party members have completed the duty for the week, fewer items will appear in the treasure coffer. If more than five party members have completed the duty for the week, the treasure coffer will not appear. Unlike Normal raids, there is no restriction on how many rewards a single player can win from loot rolls as long as a chest appears. However, once a player has completed a duty for the week and leaves the instance, they will not be able to roll for loot upon defeating the boss again, regardless of whether they rolled or won any items the first time, until the weekly reset time.

Upon registering for and completing a current Savage raid, the player's weekly progress will be updated to that point, preventing them from obtaining rewards from previous raids regardless of whether they have completed them for the week. Older tiers also do not have loot restrictions.

As of [[patch 7.18]], there are no weekly restrictions on the current savage raid tier, [[AAC Light-heavyweight Tier (Savage)]].

==[[File:Ultimate Raid.png|25px|link=]] Ultimate Raids==
Beginning with Stormblood, some raid tiers are also followed by a single '''ultimate raid''' released two weeks into the following odd-numbered major patch (i.e., x.11 or x.31). With the exception of [[Shadowbringers]], each expansion contains two ultimate raids. Ultimate raids are boss gauntlet style encounters where players encounter a series of significantly more powerful bosses from previous raids, trials, and dungeons. The final boss of an Ultimate raid is an original enemy design that was not present in earlier duties. Wiping at any point in the gauntlet will reset the encounter to the beginning. The sole exception is {{questlink|ultimateraid|Dragonsong's Reprise (Ultimate)}}, which has one checkpoint after the first phase of the encounter.

===Participation===
Ultimate raids can be unlocked by completing the fourth encounter of the Savage raid tier released in the previous patch from when the ultimate raid was released. Players must form a full party of 8 people to enter an instance; matchmaking through Duty Finder or Raid Finder is unavailable. Moreover, to mostly preserve the difficulty of ultimate raids even as newer content is released, each ultimate raid has a strict item level sync and no option to complete using an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled). However, due to job overhauls and other battle system changes, older ultimate raids are currently more forgiving than when they were first released in terms of DPS, healing, and mitigation requirements, allowing much more room for error. More recent ultimate raids are also designed to be more mechanically punishing than older raids, allowing essentially no deaths outside of very specific areas.

Newly-released ultimate raids are designed for players who have maximum item level, best-in-slot gear. Note that the item level of best-in-slot armor and accessories is 5 item levels ''lower'' than the item level sync for a newly-released ultimate raid. Two major patches after an ultimate raid is released, players may acquire gear from the newly released dungeon, which will be at the same item level as the item level sync for the Ultimate raid. Unless if an ultimate raid is from a previous expansion, it is not desirable to sync down current item level gear, because sub-stats from materia melds will not carried over. For older ultimate raids, players are free to equip any Lv. 100 gear, as the item level sync calculations will maximize the possible sub-stats. (To be precise, [[The Unending Coil of Bahamut]] requires item level 470 gear, [[The Weapon's Refrain (Ultimate)|The Weapon's Refrain]] item level 500, [[The Epic of Alexander]] item level 595, and [[Dragonsong's Reprise]] item level 725 for maximized sub-stats.<ref group="fn">Discord: Kupo Bot, !faq ultimatesync, accessed 10 February 2025

Many players choose to form or join "static" raid groups with other players to progress and complete ultimate raids. However, it is also possible to use Party Finder to clear them, especially for older ultimate raids, due to the presence of standardized strategies. In addition, on some data centers there are Discord servers that coordinate guided clears or party finding. While all Ultimate raids are very difficult, ''The Weapon's Refrain'' ("UWU") is considered the most accessible ultimate raid, followed by ''The Unending Coil of Bahamut'', ''The Epic of Alexander'', and ''Futures Rewritten''. The most difficult raids are generally considered to be ''Dragonsong's Reprise'' and ''The Omega Protocol''.

[[Limited Jobs|Limited jobs]] and [[Free Trial|free trial]] players cannot participate in ultimate raids.

===Rewards===
Due to their very high difficulty, ultimate raids are meant to be prestige content that is not part of normal gear progression. Ultimate raids reward [[Raid Tokens|totems]] that can be traded at certain vendors for weapons with special particle effects. These weapons are of the same item level as the previous Savage raid tier's but contain an extra materia melding slot. Completion of ultimate raids also unlock achievements, exclusive titles, and [[Adventurer Plate]] designs. When an ultimate raid is newly-released, each party member may obtain one totem per week for completion; this restriction is lifted in the next major patch. The Adventurer Plate is also added in this patch and is automatically unlocked for anyone who cleared the raid, including before the plate was added.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Alliance Raids==
'''Alliance raids''' are fought by 24 players against a sequence of bosses and mobs, similar to a large-scale [[dungeon]]. The 24 players are divided into 3 full parties of 8 players, each consisting of 1 tank, 2 healers, and 5 DPS. These are all considered normal-difficulty content.

===Participation===
Alliance raids are released in odd-numbered patches (x.1, x.3, x.5), for a total of three alliance raids per expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. For each raid series, these duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first alliance raid of an expansion is required to unlock the second raid. To participate, players who meet the average minimum item level requirement can register using Duty Finder matchmaking.

===Rewards===
Each boss encounter in an alliance raid drops treasure chests containing equipment that can be rolled on, with the final boss also rewarding exclusive [[minion]]s, [[Triple Triad Cards]], and [[orchestrion rolls]]. The equipment is meant to be "catch-up" and is the same item item level as current, non-augmented tomestone gear. The final boss also drops a guaranteed [[Raid Tokens|coin]], which can be exchanged at certain vendors for tomestone gear upgrade materials that were previously exclusive to the current Savage raids. When an Alliance raid is current, each player can obtain one piece of equipment and one coin per week.

===Additional Information===
Owing its lack of an [[item level]] sync and substantial player power creep over time, the [[Crystal Tower]] alliance raids (with the third at a lesser extent) have become tediously easy duties that are often completed with little difficulty, to the point where mechanics on several bosses are ignored or outright skipped. As a result, many guides include mechanics that players will normally not experience unless on minimum [[Item Level|item level]] mode. Owing to this, players have developed a technique to deliberately lower their item level in the Alliance Roulette, so that it would select a Crystal Tower raid by default. As a result the developers decided to implement item level restrictions for the {{questlink|dutyroulette|Duty Roulette: Alliance Raids}} in [[Patch 6.5]], as to increase its diversity.

==[[File:Chaotic Alliance Raid.png|25px|link=]] Chaotic Alliance Raids==
'''Chaotic alliance raids''' are high-difficulty 24-player alliance raids fought against a single boss from previous alliance raids. The [[difficulty]] is comparable to a first or second-floor savage raid.

===Participation===
The first chaotic alliance raid was released one week after [[patch 7.15]]. It can be unlocked by completing {{questlink|main|Dawntrail (Quest)}} and then talking to the [[Wandering Minstrel]]. To participate, players can form pre-made parties via [[Party Finder]] before queuing in [[Raid Finder]]. Unlike regular alliance raids, chaotic raids are balanced around having 3 full parties each consisting of 2 tanks, 2 healers, and 4 DPS. However, pre-made parties can queue with a minimum of 12 players, although the difficulty will not be re-scaled.

===Rewards===
The first raid drops maximum item level armor (IL 730), 2 [[mount]]s, a [[minion]], and a [[hairstyle]]. Some rewards can also be sold on the [[Market Board]]. In addition, each player will receive tokens that can be exchanged for rewards. The equipment has different [[substats]], making certain pieces best-in-slot for specific jobs.

Unlike other current raids, there are no weekly restrictions on loot.

There are two additional loot bonuses:
*'''First Time Duty Bonus''': Additional tokens will be rewarded in proportion to the number of alliance members new to the duty.
*'''Limited Time Bonus''': A randomly occurring reward bonus<ref group="fn">The spawn "rules" for the bonus window are as follows:
*The window may begin at 3:00, 9:00, 15:00, or 21:00 GMT (24-hour clock) for all data centers.
*The time period may last for 3, 6, 9, or 12 hours, which is determined randomly per data center.
*After the window ends, there will be a cooldown of minimum 24 hours before another window can occur. There will then be a chance for a bonus window to start every 6 hours.
*The maximum cooldown is 48 hours, after which the bonus window will forcibly start.

Entering the duty during the bonus window will cause it to apply for the entirety of the instance, even if the fight is cleared after the bonus window expires.
</ref> that persists for several hours. Entering the duty during this period will give improved drop rates and additional tokens upon completion.

==[[File:Adventuring Foray.png|25px|link=]] Field Operation Raids==
'''Field Operation Raids''' do not fit the standard description or categorization of other "Raids" in Final Fantasy XIV. These are related to multiple expansions' [[field operations]] and often have unique entry requirements, high player counts, and vary in [[Difficulty]] ({{questlink|eureka|The Baldesion Arsenal}} and {{questlink|bsf|Delubrum Reginae (Savage)}} are considered high-end duties). They are generally not tied to the core item level progression of your character aside from progressing [[Relic Weapon]] quests. These duties are most comparable to [[Alliance Raids]], and often feature unique mechanics that require a higher level of coordination between players to emerge victorious.

===Participation===
Unlock and entry to these duties are associated with their respective [[field operations]] systems and progression. Each of these raids allows the usage of Field Operation specific Duty Actions (See: [[Logos Actions]], [[Lost Actions]] and [[Phantom Job]]), that are sometimes required to progress, or provide unique benefits and power boosts to your character. Similar to [[Variant Dungeons]], there are no job or minimum party size requirements, however low player counts can make these duties incredibly challenging or impossible to complete. Due to their unique participation requirements, and not being accessible via the [[Duty Finder]], it is not possible to enter these instances with duty finder settings such as [[Unrestricted Party]] enabled.

===Rewards===
Each of these encounters rewards are specific to their respective field operations system. They often provide materials for a [[Relic Weapon]] as well as [[achievements]], expansion-specific [[tomestones]] and unique [[mounts]].

==Item Level Sync==
Unlike dungeons, most raids do not have item level syncs, which means your item level will be synced to the maximum obtainable gear at the job level you are synced to. This over time can make raids rather trivial, especially if they have a low minimum item level compared to the max obtainable for the expansion. For example, Alexander: The Fist of the Father has a minimum item level of 170, but high level players joining from Roulettes will often be synced to only 270/275, making the fight much shorter and less healing intensive than the original experience. Players that are looking for a more engaging and balanced experience may want to consider doing certain raids in a preformed group via Party Finder with the Minimum Item Level option enabled. This will adjust the gear for all involved to provide an experience somewhat closer to the original release.

Note that Minimum Item Level will only make the content as hard as the developers designed it to be at that item level. Normal Raids - with the exception of Coils of Bahamut - will still be easily clearable, while Savage Raids can be expected to generally be extremely brutal on this setting.

==Achievements==
Raid completion is associated generally with the following [[achievements]]:

{| {{STDT|mech1}}
{{achievement table header}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons I}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons II}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons III}}

{{achievement table row|Dungeon Siege IV}}
{{achievement table row|Dungeon Master}}
{{achievement table row|Lifer I}}

|}

Specific raids will also reward certain [[Raids Achievements|achievements]] upon completion.

:''See also: [[Dungeons]], [[Trials]], [[Deep Dungeon]], [[Field Operations]], [[Variant Dungeons]], [[Criterion Dungeons]]''
[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] '''Raids''' are the core of the [[endgame]], posing the greatest challenges and offering the strongest loot. Unlike dungeons or trials, current-tier raids have limitations on how much loot players can receive per week. These limitations are removed once the raid is old, to make it easier to catch up. Raids are almost always optional content for [[Main Scenario Quest]] progression (the only exception being the level 50 [[Alliance Raid]] series), although some raids are prerequisites for other optional questlines.
{{TOC limit|3}}
==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Normal Raids==
'''Normal raids''' are fought by 8 players usually against a single boss, similar to a [[trial]].<ref group="fn">There are a few exceptions to this formula. The first is {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 3}}, which is a jumping puzzle with no boss and no substantial rewards. Another exception is {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 4}}, which is a gauntlet fight with no final boss. A third exception is {{questlink|raid|Alexander - The Cuff of the Father}} (both normal and savage), which also contains a gauntlet.</ref> Older raids may have other enemies or mini-bosses before the final boss, but the single-boss format has been consistent since [[Omega: Deltascape]]. Normal raids are similar in [[difficulty]] to story-difficulty trials and can be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking. The exception is the Lv. 50 Bahamut raid series, which is closer to Savage difficulty by default.

===Participation===
Normal raids are released in sets of four duties in the x.01, x.2, and x.4 patches of an expansion, for a total of 12 duties over three raid tiers in an expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. These duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first tier is required to unlock the second tier. Players who meet the minimum item level requirement for a normal raid can queue for it through Duty Finder.

===Rewards===
Normal raids drop a variety of equipment "tokens" which can be exchanged at certain vendors for high item level gear. In addition, the final duty of a current-[[expansion]] Normal raid will grant a [[Raid Tokens|Completion Reward]], of which seven can be exchanged along with 500 of the current capped tomestones for a weapon that is 10 item levels higher than current crafted gear. In a later patch, this requirement is lowered to four of the rewarded item. When a Normal raid series is current, players may obtain one token per duty and one reward item from the final floor per week. This restriction is usually lifted a few weeks before the release of the next raid tier.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Savage Raids==
Each normal raid also has a higher-difficulty equivalent, called a '''savage raid''', which uses the same boss but with more difficult mechanics, more health, and higher outgoing damage. In addition, all Savage bosses have a time limit in which they must be defeated or they will wipe the party with an enrage ability. Savage encounters usually follow a gradually increasing difficulty curve, with the first two encounters usually comparable or slighty higher in difficulty to an Extreme trial, and the last two encounters being significantly more challenging, although there are exceptions to this trend. Beginning with [[Omega: Deltascape (Savage)]], the final duty of each Savage raid tier is usually split into two boss encounters, with a checkpoint in between, meaning that wiping to the second phase will reset the party to the start of that phase. However, leaving the instance and resetting will require defeating the first phase again to re-acquire the checkpoint. The exceptions are [[Eden's Gate: Sepulture (Savage)]], [[Eden's Verse: Refulgence (Savage)]], and [[AAC Light-heavyweight M4 (Savage)]], which are long singular encounters containing boss phases exclusive to the Savage version, but no checkpoint. The first phase is usually referred to as a ''[[door boss]]'' by the community.

Since Deltascape (Savage), the first Savage tier in an expansion is deliberately tuned to be easier to allow players to become accustomed to the expansion's job changes and additions, and to encourage newer players to participate in high-end raiding. The second and third tiers are then designed to be more challenging than the first.

When a savage raid is no longer new, {{buff|the echo}} [[The Echo]] will applied to all players upon entering the duty, and the strength of this buff will not increase upon wiping. Savage raids from prior expansions are typically done with an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled) to complete them more easily, which does not impact rewards. However, some [[Battle Achievements|achievements]] require completing the final encounter of a previous savage raid tier with a full party of {{BLU}} [[Blue Mage|blue mages]] with silence [[The Echo|echo]] and level sync enabled.

===Participation===
Savage raids are released 2 weeks after normal raids in the x.05 patch of an expansion, and 1 week after the normal raid tier in the x.2 and x.4 patches. They can be unlocked by completing the respective Normal raid tier and associated quests, then speaking to a certain NPC depending on the raid series. Completion of the previous tier's Savage encounters is not required to unlock the current Savage tier. Savage raids are typically too difficult to be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking, so players in most data centers opt to use [[Party Finder]] for both practice and duty completion, or form "static" raid groups with other players.

Savage raids have a higher average item level requirement than the corresponding Normal raids, with the requirement for the first floor being the same item level as the maximum item level armor in the previous patch, the second floor being 5 item levels higher, and the third and fourth floors being 10 item levels higher. Savage raids are always released with new crafted and normal raid gear that meet the minimum item level for the last floors, along with weekly-capped tomestone gear that is 10 item levels higher. Players who wish to aim for an early clear of the tier are strongly advised to acquire a full set of {{HQ}} ''[[High Quality]]'' crafted gear and fully [[Materia Melding|meld]] it with [[materia]] ("pentamelding"), although this is a costly process. For the second and third Savage tier of an expansion, the extreme trial that was released with the patch will drop weapons that are 5 item levels higher than the crafted weapon, providing a good starting point for players who wish to participate in the tier.

With the advent of [[Data Center Travel]], players looking to participate in high-end duties, especially savage and ultimate raids, have started congregating in one data center per geographic region. These are
* North America: Aether
* Europe: Light
* Japan: Mana

Players on other data centers who wish to participate in current high-end content through Party Finder may find it necessary to travel to their region's primary "raiding" data center in order to form a party in a reasonable timeframe.

===Rewards===
Savage raids drop coffers that can be used to obtain equipment 20 item levels higher than the respective normal raid tier's loot. In addition, Savage raids reward items that can be used to augment the current weekly-capped tomestone equipment to the same item level as Savage gear. The final duty of each Savage raid tier rewards weapons that are at the maximum item level and exclusive mounts. For each job, the "best-in-slot" gear for a patch usually comprises a mixture of Savage gear and augmented tomestone gear based on which pieces provide the most desirable sub-stats.

Each duty in a Savage raid tier will also reward each party member with a [[Raid Tokens|book]], of which a certain number can be exchanged for equipment coffers and upgrade materials. When a Savage raid series is current, players may obtain one book per duty per week. In addition, the number of rewards that appear upon completion and can be rolled for will depend on how many players have completed the duty for the week. If one to four party members have completed the duty for the week, fewer items will appear in the treasure coffer. If more than five party members have completed the duty for the week, the treasure coffer will not appear. Unlike Normal raids, there is no restriction on how many rewards a single player can win from loot rolls as long as a chest appears. However, once a player has completed a duty for the week and leaves the instance, they will not be able to roll for loot upon defeating the boss again, regardless of whether they rolled or won any items the first time, until the weekly reset time.

Upon registering for and completing a current Savage raid, the player's weekly progress will be updated to that point, preventing them from obtaining rewards from previous raids regardless of whether they have completed them for the week. Older tiers also do not have loot restrictions.

As of [[patch 7.18]], there are no weekly restrictions on the current savage raid tier, [[AAC Light-heavyweight Tier (Savage)]].

==[[File:Ultimate Raid.png|25px|link=]] Ultimate Raids==
Beginning with Stormblood, some raid tiers are also followed by a single '''ultimate raid''' released two weeks into the following odd-numbered major patch (i.e., x.11 or x.31). With the exception of [[Shadowbringers]], each expansion contains two ultimate raids. Ultimate raids are boss gauntlet style encounters where players encounter a series of significantly more powerful bosses from previous raids, trials, and dungeons. The final boss of an Ultimate raid is an original enemy design that was not present in earlier duties. Wiping at any point in the gauntlet will reset the encounter to the beginning. The sole exception is {{questlink|ultimateraid|Dragonsong's Reprise (Ultimate)}}, which has one checkpoint after the first phase of the encounter.

===Participation===
Ultimate raids can be unlocked by completing the fourth encounter of the Savage raid tier released in the previous patch from when the ultimate raid was released. Players must form a full party of 8 people to enter an instance; matchmaking through Duty Finder or Raid Finder is unavailable. Moreover, to mostly preserve the difficulty of ultimate raids even as newer content is released, each ultimate raid has a strict item level sync and no option to complete using an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled). However, due to job overhauls and other battle system changes, older ultimate raids are currently more forgiving than when they were first released in terms of DPS, healing, and mitigation requirements, allowing much more room for error. More recent ultimate raids are also designed to be more mechanically punishing than older raids, allowing essentially no deaths outside of very specific areas.

Newly-released ultimate raids are designed for players who have maximum item level, best-in-slot gear. Note that the item level of best-in-slot armor and accessories is 5 item levels ''lower'' than the item level sync for a newly-released ultimate raid. Two major patches after an ultimate raid is released, players may acquire gear from the newly released dungeon, which will be at the same item level as the item level sync for the Ultimate raid. Unless if an ultimate raid is from a previous expansion, it is not desirable to sync down current item level gear, because sub-stats from materia melds will not carried over. For older ultimate raids, players are free to equip any Lv. 100 gear, as the item level sync calculations will maximize the possible sub-stats. (To be precise, [[The Unending Coil of Bahamut]] requires item level 470 gear, [[The Weapon's Refrain (Ultimate)|The Weapon's Refrain]] item level 500, [[The Epic of Alexander]] item level 595, and [[Dragonsong's Reprise]] item level 725 for maximized sub-stats.<ref group="fn">Discord: Kupo Bot, !faq ultimatesync, accessed 10 February 2025

Many players choose to form or join "static" raid groups with other players to progress and complete ultimate raids. However, it is also possible to use Party Finder to clear them, especially for older ultimate raids, due to the presence of standardized strategies. In addition, on some data centers there are Discord servers that coordinate guided clears or party finding. While all Ultimate raids are very difficult, ''The Weapon's Refrain'' ("UWU") is considered the most accessible ultimate raid, followed by ''The Unending Coil of Bahamut'', ''The Epic of Alexander'', and ''Futures Rewritten''. The most difficult raids are generally considered to be ''Dragonsong's Reprise'' and ''The Omega Protocol''.

[[Limited Jobs|Limited jobs]] and [[Free Trial|free trial]] players cannot participate in ultimate raids.

===Rewards===
Due to their very high difficulty, ultimate raids are meant to be prestige content that is not part of normal gear progression. Ultimate raids reward [[Raid Tokens|totems]] that can be traded at certain vendors for weapons with special particle effects. These weapons are of the same item level as the previous Savage raid tier's but contain an extra materia melding slot. Completion of ultimate raids also unlock achievements, exclusive titles, and [[Adventurer Plate]] designs. When an ultimate raid is newly-released, each party member may obtain one totem per week for completion; this restriction is lifted in the next major patch.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Alliance Raids==
'''Alliance raids''' are fought by 24 players against a sequence of bosses and mobs, similar to a large-scale [[dungeon]]. The 24 players are divided into 3 full parties of 8 players, each consisting of 1 tank, 2 healers, and 5 DPS. These are all considered normal-difficulty content.

===Participation===
Alliance raids are released in odd-numbered patches (x.1, x.3, x.5), for a total of three alliance raids per expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. For each raid series, these duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first alliance raid of an expansion is required to unlock the second raid. To participate, players who meet the average minimum item level requirement can register using Duty Finder matchmaking.

===Rewards===
Each boss encounter in an alliance raid drops treasure chests containing equipment that can be rolled on, with the final boss also rewarding exclusive [[minion]]s, [[Triple Triad Cards]], and [[orchestrion rolls]]. The equipment is meant to be "catch-up" and is the same item item level as current, non-augmented tomestone gear. The final boss also drops a guaranteed [[Raid Tokens|coin]], which can be exchanged at certain vendors for tomestone gear upgrade materials that were previously exclusive to the current Savage raids. When an Alliance raid is current, each player can obtain one piece of equipment and one coin per week.

===Additional Information===
Owing its lack of an [[item level]] sync and substantial player power creep over time, the [[Crystal Tower]] alliance raids (with the third at a lesser extent) have become tediously easy duties that are often completed with little difficulty, to the point where mechanics on several bosses are ignored or outright skipped. As a result, many guides include mechanics that players will normally not experience unless on minimum [[Item Level|item level]] mode. Owing to this, players have developed a technique to deliberately lower their item level in the Alliance Roulette, so that it would select a Crystal Tower raid by default. As a result the developers decided to implement item level restrictions for the {{questlink|dutyroulette|Duty Roulette: Alliance Raids}} in [[Patch 6.5]], as to increase its diversity.

==[[File:Chaotic Alliance Raid.png|25px|link=]] Chaotic Alliance Raids==
'''Chaotic alliance raids''' are high-difficulty 24-player alliance raids fought against a single boss from previous alliance raids. The [[difficulty]] is comparable to a first or second-floor savage raid.

===Participation===
The first chaotic alliance raid was released one week after [[patch 7.15]]. It can be unlocked by completing {{questlink|main|Dawntrail (Quest)}} and then talking to the [[Wandering Minstrel]]. To participate, players can form pre-made parties via [[Party Finder]] before queuing in [[Raid Finder]]. Unlike regular alliance raids, chaotic raids are balanced around having 3 full parties each consisting of 2 tanks, 2 healers, and 4 DPS. However, pre-made parties can queue with a minimum of 12 players, although the difficulty will not be re-scaled.

===Rewards===
The first raid drops maximum item level armor (IL 730), 2 [[mount]]s, a [[minion]], and a [[hairstyle]]. Some rewards can also be sold on the [[Market Board]]. In addition, each player will receive tokens that can be exchanged for rewards. The equipment has different [[substats]], making certain pieces best-in-slot for specific jobs.

Unlike other current raids, there are no weekly restrictions on loot.

There are two additional loot bonuses:
*'''First Time Duty Bonus''': Additional tokens will be rewarded in proportion to the number of alliance members new to the duty.
*'''Limited Time Bonus''': A randomly occurring reward bonus<ref group="fn">The spawn "rules" for the bonus window are as follows:
*The window may begin at 3:00, 9:00, 15:00, or 21:00 GMT (24-hour clock) for all data centers.
*The time period may last for 3, 6, 9, or 12 hours, which is determined randomly per data center.
*After the window ends, there will be a cooldown of minimum 24 hours before another window can occur. There will then be a chance for a bonus window to start every 6 hours.
*The maximum cooldown is 48 hours, after which the bonus window will forcibly start.

Entering the duty during the bonus window will cause it to apply for the entirety of the instance, even if the fight is cleared after the bonus window expires.
</ref> that persists for several hours. Entering the duty during this period will give improved drop rates and additional tokens upon completion.

==[[File:Adventuring Foray.png|25px|link=]] Field Operation Raids==
'''Field Operation Raids''' do not fit the standard description or categorization of other "Raids" in Final Fantasy XIV. These are related to multiple expansions' [[field operations]] and often have unique entry requirements, high player counts, and vary in [[Difficulty]] ({{questlink|eureka|The Baldesion Arsenal}} and {{questlink|bsf|Delubrum Reginae (Savage)}} are considered high-end duties). They are generally not tied to the core item level progression of your character aside from progressing [[Relic Weapon]] quests. These duties are most comparable to [[Alliance Raids]], and often feature unique mechanics that require a higher level of coordination between players to emerge victorious.

===Participation===
Unlock and entry to these duties are associated with their respective [[field operations]] systems and progression. Each of these raids allows the usage of Field Operation specific Duty Actions (See: [[Logos Actions]], [[Lost Actions]] and [[Phantom Job]]), that are sometimes required to progress, or provide unique benefits and power boosts to your character. Similar to [[Variant Dungeons]], there are no job or minimum party size requirements, however low player counts can make these duties incredibly challenging or impossible to complete. Due to their unique participation requirements, and not being accessible via the [[Duty Finder]], it is not possible to enter these instances with duty finder settings such as [[Unrestricted Party]] enabled.

===Rewards===
Each of these encounters rewards are specific to their respective field operations system. They often provide materials for a [[Relic Weapon]] as well as [[achievements]], expansion-specific [[tomestones]] and unique [[mounts]].

==Item Level Sync==
Unlike dungeons, most raids do not have item level syncs, which means your item level will be synced to the maximum obtainable gear at the job level you are synced to. This over time can make raids rather trivial, especially if they have a low minimum item level compared to the max obtainable for the expansion. For example, Alexander: The Fist of the Father has a minimum item level of 170, but high level players joining from Roulettes will often be synced to only 270/275, making the fight much shorter and less healing intensive than the original experience. Players that are looking for a more engaging and balanced experience may want to consider doing certain raids in a preformed group via Party Finder with the Minimum Item Level option enabled. This will adjust the gear for all involved to provide an experience somewhat closer to the original release.

Note that Minimum Item Level will only make the content as hard as the developers designed it to be at that item level. Normal Raids - with the exception of Coils of Bahamut - will still be easily clearable, while Savage Raids can be expected to generally be extremely brutal on this setting.

==Achievements==
Raid completion is associated generally with the following [[achievements]]:

{| {{STDT|mech1}}
{{achievement table header}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons I}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons II}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons III}}

Raids

:''See also: [[Dungeons]], [[Trials]], [[Deep Dungeon]], [[Field Operations]], [[Variant Dungeons]], [[Criterion Dungeons]]''
[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] '''Raids''' are the core of the [[endgame]], posing the greatest challenges and offering the strongest loot. Unlike dungeons or trials, current-tier raids have limitations on how much loot players can receive per week. These limitations are removed once the raid is old, to make it easier to catch up. Raids are almost always optional content for [[Main Scenario Quest]] progression (the only exception being the level 50 [[Alliance Raid]] series), although some raids are prerequisites for other optional questlines.
{{TOC limit|3}}
==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Normal Raids==
'''Normal raids''' are fought by 8 players usually against a single boss, similar to a [[trial]].<ref group="fn">There are a few exceptions to this formula. The first is {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 3}}, which is a jumping puzzle with no boss and no substantial rewards. Another exception is {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 4}}, which is a gauntlet fight with no final boss. A third exception is {{questlink|raid|Alexander - The Cuff of the Father}} (both normal and savage), which also contains a gauntlet.</ref> Older raids may have other enemies or mini-bosses before the final boss, but the single-boss format has been consistent since [[Omega: Deltascape]]. Normal raids are similar in [[difficulty]] to story-difficulty trials and can be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking. The exception is the Lv. 50 Bahamut raid series, which is closer to Savage difficulty by default.

===Participation===
Normal raids are released in sets of four duties in the x.01, x.2, and x.4 patches of an expansion, for a total of 12 duties over three raid tiers in an expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. These duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first tier is required to unlock the second tier. Players who meet the minimum item level requirement for a normal raid can queue for it through Duty Finder.

===Rewards===
Normal raids drop a variety of equipment "tokens" which can be exchanged at certain vendors for high item level gear. In addition, the final duty of a current-[[expansion]] Normal raid will grant a [[Raid Tokens|Completion Reward]], of which seven can be exchanged along with 500 of the current capped tomestones for a weapon that is 10 item levels higher than current crafted gear. In a later patch, this requirement is lowered to four of the rewarded item. When a Normal raid series is current, players may obtain one token per duty and one reward item from the final floor per week.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Savage Raids==
Each normal raid also has a higher-difficulty equivalent, called a '''savage raid''', which uses the same boss but with more difficult mechanics, more health, and higher outgoing damage. In addition, all Savage bosses have a time limit in which they must be defeated or they will wipe the party with an enrage ability. Savage encounters usually follow a gradually increasing difficulty curve, with the first two encounters usually comparable or slighty higher in difficulty to an Extreme trial, and the last two encounters being significantly more challenging, although there are exceptions to this trend. Beginning with [[Omega: Deltascape (Savage)]], the final duty of each Savage raid tier is usually split into two boss encounters, with a checkpoint in between, meaning that wiping to the second phase will reset the party to the start of that phase. However, leaving the instance and resetting will require defeating the first phase again to re-acquire the checkpoint. The exceptions are [[Eden's Gate: Sepulture (Savage)]], [[Eden's Verse: Refulgence (Savage)]], and [[AAC Light-heavyweight M4 (Savage)]], which are long singular encounters containing boss phases exclusive to the Savage version, but no checkpoint. The first phase is usually referred to as a ''[[door boss]]'' by the community.

Since Deltascape (Savage), the first Savage tier in an expansion is deliberately tuned to be easier to allow players to become accustomed to the expansion's job changes and additions, and to encourage newer players to participate in high-end raiding. The second and third tiers are then designed to be more challenging than the first.

When a savage raid is no longer new, {{buff|the echo}} [[The Echo]] will applied to all players upon entering the duty, and the strength of this buff will not increase upon wiping. Savage raids from prior expansions are typically done with an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled) to complete them more easily, which does not impact rewards. However, some [[Battle Achievements|achievements]] require completing the final encounter of a previous savage raid tier with a full party of {{BLU}} [[Blue Mage|blue mages]] with silence [[The Echo|echo]] and level sync enabled.

===Participation===
Savage raids are released 2 weeks after normal raids in the x.05 patch of an expansion, and 1 week after the normal raid tier in the x.2 and x.4 patches. They can be unlocked by completing the respective Normal raid tier and associated quests, then speaking to a certain NPC depending on the raid series. Completion of the previous tier's Savage encounters is not required to unlock the current Savage tier. Savage raids are typically too difficult to be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking, so players in most data centers opt to use [[Party Finder]] for both practice and duty completion, or form "static" raid groups with other players.

Savage raids have a higher average item level requirement than the corresponding Normal raids, with the requirement for the first floor being the same item level as the maximum item level armor in the previous patch, the second floor being 5 item levels higher, and the third and fourth floors being 10 item levels higher. Savage raids are always released with new crafted and normal raid gear that meet the minimum item level for the last floors, along with weekly-capped tomestone gear that is 10 item levels higher. Players who wish to aim for an early clear of the tier are strongly advised to acquire a full set of {{HQ}} ''[[High Quality]]'' crafted gear and fully [[Materia Melding|meld]] it with [[materia]] ("pentamelding"), although this is a costly process. For the second and third Savage tier of an expansion, the extreme trial that was released with the patch will drop weapons that are 5 item levels higher than the crafted weapon, providing a good starting point for players who wish to participate in the tier.

With the advent of [[Data Center Travel]], players looking to participate in high-end duties, especially savage and ultimate raids, have started congregating in one data center per geographic region. These are
* North America: Aether
* Europe: Light
* Japan: Mana

Players on other data centers who wish to participate in current high-end content through Party Finder may find it necessary to travel to their region's primary "raiding" data center in order to form a party in a reasonable timeframe.

===Rewards===
Savage raids drop coffers that can be used to obtain equipment 20 item levels higher than the respective normal raid tier's loot. In addition, Savage raids reward items that can be used to augment the current weekly-capped tomestone equipment to the same item level as Savage gear. The final duty of each Savage raid tier rewards weapons that are at the maximum item level and exclusive mounts. For each job, the "best-in-slot" gear for a patch usually comprises a mixture of Savage gear and augmented tomestone gear based on which pieces provide the most desirable sub-stats.

Each duty in a Savage raid tier will also reward each party member with a [[Raid Tokens|book]], of which a certain number can be exchanged for equipment coffers and upgrade materials. When a Savage raid series is current, players may obtain one book per duty per week. In addition, the number of rewards that appear upon completion and can be rolled for will depend on how many players have completed the duty for the week. If one to four party members have completed the duty for the week, fewer items will appear in the treasure coffer. If more than five party members have completed the duty for the week, the treasure coffer will not appear. Unlike Normal raids, there is no restriction on how many rewards a single player can win from loot rolls as long as a chest appears. However, once a player has completed a duty for the week and leaves the instance, they will not be able to roll for loot upon defeating the boss again, regardless of whether they rolled or won any items the first time, until the weekly reset time.

Upon registering for and completing a current Savage raid, the player's weekly progress will be updated to that point, preventing them from obtaining rewards from previous raids regardless of whether they have completed them for the week. Older tiers also do not have loot restrictions.

Example: A player has yet to complete AAC Light-heavyweight M1 (Savage) for the week. They cannot register for AAC Light-heavyweight M2 (Savage). However, they join a premade party in which the leader has completed AAC Light-heavyweight M1 (Savage) for the week and can register for AAC Light-heavyweight M2 (Savage). The player can enter AAC Light-heavyweight M2 (Savage), but upon entering, they will forfeit all rewards from AAC Light-heavyweight M1 (Savage) until the next weekly reset.

Reward eligibility is [[reset]] every Tuesday at 8:00 (GMT).
* In the event a raid is underway when reward eligibility is reset, players will still be permitted to vie for items during the upcoming week.

==[[File:Ultimate Raid.png|25px|link=]] Ultimate Raids==
Beginning with Stormblood, some raid tiers are also followed by a single '''ultimate raid''' released two weeks into the following odd-numbered major patch (i.e., x.11 or x.31). With the exception of [[Shadowbringers]], each expansion contains two ultimate raids. Ultimate raids are boss gauntlet style encounters where players encounter a series of significantly more powerful bosses from previous raids, trials, and dungeons. The final boss of an Ultimate raid is an original enemy design that was not present in earlier duties. Wiping at any point in the gauntlet will reset the encounter to the beginning. The sole exception is {{questlink|ultimateraid|Dragonsong's Reprise (Ultimate)}}, which has one checkpoint after the first phase of the encounter.

===Participation===
Ultimate raids can be unlocked by completing the fourth encounter of the Savage raid tier released in the previous patch from when the ultimate raid was released. Players must form a full party of 8 people to enter an instance; matchmaking through Duty Finder or Raid Finder is unavailable. Moreover, to mostly preserve the difficulty of ultimate raids even as newer content is released, each ultimate raid has a strict item level sync and no option to complete using an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled). However, due to job overhauls and other battle system changes, older ultimate raids are currently more forgiving than when they were first released in terms of DPS, healing, and mitigation requirements, allowing much more room for error. More recent ultimate raids are also designed to be more mechanically punishing than older raids, allowing essentially no deaths outside of very specific areas.

Newly-released ultimate raids are designed for players who have maximum item level, best-in-slot gear. Note that the item level of best-in-slot armor and accessories is 5 item levels ''lower'' than the item level sync for a newly-released ultimate raid. Two major patches after an ultimate raid is released, players may acquire gear from the newly released dungeon, which will be at the same item level as the item level sync for the Ultimate raid. Unless if an ultimate raid is from a previous expansion, it is not desirable to sync down current item level gear, because sub-stats from materia melds will not carried over. For older ultimate raids, players are free to equip any Lv. 100 gear, as the item level sync calculations will maximize the possible sub-stats. (To be precise, [[The Unending Coil of Bahamut]] requires item level 470 gear, [[The Weapon's Refrain (Ultimate)|The Weapon's Refrain]] item level 500, [[The Epic of Alexander]] item level 595, and [[Dragonsong's Reprise]] item level 725 for maximized sub-stats.<ref group="fn">Discord: Kupo Bot, !faq ultimatesync, accessed 10 February 2025

Many players choose to form or join "static" raid groups with other players to progress and complete ultimate raids. However, it is also possible to use Party Finder to clear them, especially for older ultimate raids, due to the presence of standardized strategies. In addition, on some data centers there are Discord servers that coordinate guided clears or party finding. While all Ultimate raids are very difficult, ''The Weapon's Refrain'' ("UWU") is considered the most accessible ultimate raid, followed by ''The Unending Coil of Bahamut'', ''The Epic of Alexander'', and ''Futures Rewritten''. The most difficult raids are generally considered to be ''Dragonsong's Reprise'' and ''The Omega Protocol''.

[[Limited Jobs|Limited jobs]] and [[Free Trial|free trial]] players cannot participate in ultimate raids.

===Rewards===
Due to their very high difficulty, ultimate raids are meant to be prestige content that is not part of normal gear progression. Ultimate raids reward [[Raid Tokens|totems]] that can be traded at certain vendors for weapons with special particle effects. These weapons are of the same item level as the previous Savage raid tier's but contain an extra materia melding slot. Completion of ultimate raids also unlock achievements, exclusive titles, and [[Adventurer Plate]] designs. When an ultimate raid is newly-released, each party member may obtain one totem per week for completion; this restriction is lifted in the next major patch.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Alliance Raids==
'''Alliance raids''' are fought by 24 players against a sequence of bosses and mobs, similar to a large-scale [[dungeon]]. The 24 players are divided into 3 full parties of 8 players, each consisting of 1 tank, 2 healers, and 5 DPS. These are all considered normal-difficulty content.

===Participation===
Alliance raids are released in odd-numbered patches (x.1, x.3, x.5), for a total of three alliance raids per expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. For each raid series, these duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first alliance raid of an expansion is required to unlock the second raid. To participate, players who meet the average minimum item level requirement can register using Duty Finder matchmaking.

===Rewards===
Each boss encounter in an alliance raid drops treasure chests containing equipment that can be rolled on, with the final boss also rewarding exclusive [[minion]]s, [[Triple Triad Cards]], and [[orchestrion rolls]]. The equipment is meant to be "catch-up" and is the same item item level as current, non-augmented tomestone gear. The final boss also drops a guaranteed [[Raid Tokens|coin]], which can be exchanged at certain vendors for tomestone gear upgrade materials that were previously exclusive to the current Savage raids. When an Alliance raid is current, each player can obtain one piece of equipment and one coin per week.

===Additional Information===
Owing its lack of an [[item level]] sync and substantial player power creep over time, the [[Crystal Tower]] alliance raids (with the third at a lesser extent) have become tediously easy duties that are often completed with little difficulty, to the point where mechanics on several bosses are ignored or outright skipped. As a result, many guides include mechanics that players will normally not experience unless on minimum [[Item Level|item level]] mode. Owing to this, players have developed a technique to deliberately lower their item level in the Alliance Roulette, so that it would select a Crystal Tower raid by default. As a result the developers decided to implement item level restrictions for the {{questlink|dutyroulette|Duty Roulette: Alliance Raids}} in [[Patch 6.5]], as to increase its diversity.

==[[File:Chaotic Alliance Raid.png|25px|link=]] Chaotic Alliance Raids==
'''Chaotic alliance raids''' are high-difficulty 24-player alliance raids fought against a single boss from previous alliance raids. The [[difficulty]] is comparable to a first or second-floor savage raid.

===Participation===
The first chaotic alliance raid was released one week after [[patch 7.15]]. It can be unlocked by completing {{questlink|main|Dawntrail (Quest)}} and then talking to the [[Wandering Minstrel]]. To participate, players can form pre-made parties via [[Party Finder]] before queuing in [[Raid Finder]]. Unlike regular alliance raids, chaotic raids are balanced around having 3 full parties each consisting of 2 tanks, 2 healers, and 4 DPS. However, pre-made parties can queue with a minimum of 12 players, although the difficulty will not be re-scaled.

===Rewards===
The first raid drops maximum item level armor (IL 730), 2 [[mount]]s, a [[minion]], and a [[hairstyle]]. Some rewards can also be sold on the [[Market Board]]. In addition, each player will receive tokens that can be exchanged for rewards. The equipment has different [[substats]], making certain pieces best-in-slot for specific jobs.

Unlike other current raids, there are no weekly restrictions on loot.

There are two additional loot bonuses:
*'''First Time Duty Bonus''': Additional tokens will be rewarded in proportion to the number of alliance members new to the duty.
*'''Limited Time Bonus''': A randomly occurring reward bonus<ref group="fn">The spawn "rules" for the bonus window are as follows:
*The window may begin at 3:00, 9:00, 15:00, or 21:00 GMT (24-hour clock) for all data centers.
*The time period may last for 3, 6, 9, or 12 hours, which is determined randomly per data center.
*After the window ends, there will be a cooldown of minimum 24 hours before another window can occur. There will then be a chance for a bonus window to start every 6 hours.
*The maximum cooldown is 48 hours, after which the bonus window will forcibly start.
</ref> that persists for several hours. Entering the duty during this period will give improved drop rates and additional tokens upon completion.

==[[File:Adventuring Foray.png|25px|link=]] Field Operation Raids==
'''Field Operation Raids''' do not fit the standard description or categorization of other "Raids" in Final Fantasy XIV. These are related to multiple expansions' [[field operations]] and often have unique entry requirements, high player counts, and vary in [[Difficulty]] ({{questlink|eureka|The Baldesion Arsenal}} and {{questlink|bsf|Delubrum Reginae (Savage)}} are considered high-end duties). They are generally not tied to the core item level progression of your character aside from progressing [[Relic Weapon]] quests. These duties are most comparable to [[Alliance Raids]], and often feature unique mechanics that require a higher level of coordination between players to emerge victorious.

===Participation===
Unlock and entry to these duties are associated with their respective [[field operations]] systems and progression. Each of these raids allows the usage of Field Operation specific [[Logos Actions]] and [[Lost Actions]], that are sometimes required to progress, or provide unique benefits and power boosts to your character. Similar to [[Variant Dungeons]], there are no job or minimum party size requirements, however low player counts can make these duties incredibly challenging or impossible to complete. Due to their unique participation requirements, and not being accessible via the [[Duty Finder]], it is not possible to enter these instances with duty finder settings such as [[Unrestricted Party]] enabled.

===Rewards===
Each of these encounters rewards are specific to their respective field operations system. They often provide materials for a [[Relic Weapon]] as well as [[achievements]], expansion-specific [[tomestones]] and unique [[mounts]].

==Item Level Sync==
Unlike dungeons, most raids do not have item level syncs, which means your item level will be synced to the maximum obtainable gear at the job level you are synced to. This over time can make raids rather trivial, especially if they have a low minimum item level compared to the max obtainable for the expansion. For example, Alexander: The Fist of the Father has a minimum item level of 170, but high level players joining from Roulettes will often be synced to only 270/275, making the fight much shorter and less healing intensive than the original experience. Players that are looking for a more engaging and balanced experience may want to consider doing certain raids in a preformed group via Party Finder with the Minimum Item Level option enabled. This will adjust the gear for all involved to provide an experience somewhat closer to the original release.

Note that Minimum Item Level will only make the content as hard as the developers designed it to be at that item level. Normal Raids - with the exception of Coils of Bahamut - will still be easily clearable, while Savage Raids can be expected to generally be extremely brutal on this setting.

==Achievements==
Raid completion is associated generally with the following [[achievements]]:

{| {{STDT|mech1}}
{{achievement table header}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons I}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons II}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons III}}

|}

Specific raids will also reward certain [[Raids Achievements|achievements]] upon completion.

ArcaneToast:

:''See also: [[Dungeons]], [[Trials]], [[Deep Dungeon]], [[Field Operations]], [[Variant Dungeons]], [[Criterion Dungeons]]''
[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] '''Raids''' are the core of the [[endgame]], posing the greatest challenges and offering the strongest loot. Unlike dungeons or trials, current-tier raids have limitations on how much loot players can receive per week. These limitations are removed once the raid is old, to make it easier to catch up. Raids are almost always optional content for [[Main Scenario Quest]] progression (the only exception being the level 50 [[Alliance Raid]] series), although some raids are prerequisites for other optional questlines.
{{TOC limit|3}}
==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Normal Raids==
'''Normal raids''' are fought by 8 players usually against a single boss, similar to a [[trial]].<ref group="fn">There are a few exceptions to this formula. The first is {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 3}}, which is a jumping puzzle with no boss and no substantial rewards. Another exception is {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 4}}, which is a gauntlet fight with no final boss. A third exception is {{questlink|raid|Alexander - The Cuff of the Father}} (both normal and savage), which also contains a gauntlet.</ref> Older raids may have other enemies or mini-bosses before the final boss, but the single-boss format has been consistent since [[Omega: Deltascape]]. Normal raids are similar in [[difficulty]] to story-difficulty trials and can be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking. The exception is the Lv. 50 Bahamut raid series, which is closer to Savage difficulty by default.

===Participation===
Normal raids are released in sets of four duties in the x.01, x.2, and x.4 patches of an expansion, for a total of 12 duties over three raid tiers in an expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. These duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first tier is required to unlock the second tier. Players who meet the minimum item level requirement for a normal raid can queue for it through Duty Finder.

===Rewards===
Normal raids drop a variety of equipment "tokens" which can be exchanged at certain vendors for high item level gear. In addition, the final duty of a current-[[expansion]] Normal raid will grant a [[Raid Tokens|Completion Reward]], of which seven can be exchanged along with 500 of the current capped tomestones for a weapon that is 10 item levels higher than current crafted gear. In a later patch, this requirement is lowered to four of the rewarded item. When a Normal raid series is current, players may obtain one token per duty and one reward item from the final floor per week.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Savage Raids==
Each normal raid also has a higher-difficulty equivalent, called a '''savage raid''', which uses the same boss but with more difficult mechanics, more health, and higher outgoing damage. In addition, all Savage bosses have a time limit in which they must be defeated or they will wipe the party with an enrage ability. Savage encounters usually follow a gradually increasing difficulty curve, with the first two encounters usually comparable or slighty higher in difficulty to an Extreme trial, and the last two encounters being significantly more challenging, although there are exceptions to this trend. Beginning with [[Omega: Deltascape (Savage)]], the final duty of each Savage raid tier is usually split into two boss encounters, with a checkpoint in between, meaning that wiping to the second phase will reset the party to the start of that phase. However, leaving the instance and resetting will require defeating the first phase again to re-acquire the checkpoint. The exceptions are [[Eden's Gate: Sepulture (Savage)]], [[Eden's Verse: Refulgence (Savage)]], and [[AAC Light-heavyweight M4 (Savage)]], which are long singular encounters containing boss phases exclusive to the Savage version, but no checkpoint. The first phase is usually referred to as a ''[[door boss]]'' by the community.

Since Deltascape (Savage), the first Savage tier in an expansion is deliberately tuned to be easier to allow players to become accustomed to the expansion's job changes and additions, and to encourage newer players to participate in high-end raiding. The second and third tiers are then designed to be more challenging than the first.

When a savage raid is no longer new, {{buff|the echo}} [[The Echo]] will applied to all players upon entering the duty, and the strength of this buff will not increase upon wiping. Savage raids from prior expansions are typically done with an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled) to complete them more easily, which does not impact rewards. However, some [[Battle Achievements|achievements]] require completing the final encounter of a previous savage raid tier with a full party of {{BLU}} [[Blue Mage|blue mages]] with silence [[The Echo|echo]] and level sync enabled.

===Participation===
Savage raids are released 2 weeks after normal raids in the x.05 patch of an expansion, and 1 week after the normal raid tier in the x.2 and x.4 patches. They can be unlocked by completing the respective Normal raid tier and associated quests, then speaking to a certain NPC depending on the raid series. Completion of the previous tier's Savage encounters is not required to unlock the current Savage tier. Savage raids are typically too difficult to be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking, so players in most data centers opt to use [[Party Finder]] for both practice and duty completion, or form "static" raid groups with other players.

Savage raids have a higher average item level requirement than the corresponding Normal raids, with the requirement for the first floor being the same item level as the maximum item level armor in the previous patch, the second floor being 5 item levels higher, and the third and fourth floors being 10 item levels higher. Savage raids are always released with new crafted and normal raid gear that meet the minimum item level for the last floors, along with weekly-capped tomestone gear that is 10 item levels higher. Players who wish to aim for an early clear of the tier are strongly advised to acquire a full set of {{HQ}} ''[[High Quality]]'' crafted gear and fully [[Materia Melding|meld]] it with [[materia]] ("pentamelding"), although this is a costly process. For the second and third Savage tier of an expansion, the extreme trial that was released with the patch will drop weapons that are 5 item levels higher than the crafted weapon, providing a good starting point for players who wish to participate in the tier.

With the advent of [[Data Center Travel]], players looking to participate in high-end duties, especially savage and ultimate raids, have started congregating in one data center per geographic region. These are
* North America: Aether
* Europe: Light
* Japan: Mana

Players on other data centers who wish to participate in current high-end content through Party Finder may find it necessary to travel to their region's primary "raiding" data center in order to form a party in a reasonable timeframe.

===Rewards===
Savage raids drop coffers that can be used to obtain equipment 20 item levels higher than the respective normal raid tier's loot. In addition, Savage raids reward items that can be used to augment the current weekly-capped tomestone equipment to the same item level as Savage gear. The final duty of each Savage raid tier rewards weapons that are at the maximum item level and exclusive mounts. For each job, the "best-in-slot" gear for a patch usually comprises a mixture of Savage gear and augmented tomestone gear based on which pieces provide the most desirable sub-stats.

Each duty in a Savage raid tier will also reward each party member with a [[Raid Tokens|book]], of which a certain number can be exchanged for equipment coffers and upgrade materials. When a Savage raid series is current, players may obtain one book per duty per week. In addition, the number of rewards that appear upon completion and can be rolled for will depend on how many players have completed the duty for the week. If one to four party members have completed the duty for the week, fewer items will appear in the treasure coffer. If more than five party members have completed the duty for the week, the treasure coffer will not appear. Unlike Normal raids, there is no restriction on how many rewards a single player can win from loot rolls as long as a chest appears. However, once a player has completed a duty for the week and leaves the instance, they will not be able to roll for loot upon defeating the boss again, regardless of whether they rolled or won any items the first time, until the weekly reset time.

Upon registering for and completing a current Savage raid, the player's weekly progress will be updated to that point, preventing them from obtaining rewards from previous raids regardless of whether they have completed them for the week. Older tiers also do not have loot restrictions.

Example: A player has yet to complete AAC Light-heavyweight M1 (Savage) for the week. They cannot register for AAC Light-heavyweight M2 (Savage). However, they join a premade party in which the leader has completed AAC Light-heavyweight M1 (Savage) for the week and can register for AAC Light-heavyweight M2 (Savage). The player can enter AAC Light-heavyweight M2 (Savage), but upon entering, they will forfeit all rewards from AAC Light-heavyweight M1 (Savage) until the next weekly reset.

Reward eligibility is [[reset]] every Tuesday at 8:00 (GMT).
* In the event a raid is underway when reward eligibility is reset, players will still be permitted to vie for items during the upcoming week.

==[[File:Ultimate Raid.png|25px|link=]] Ultimate Raids==
Beginning with Stormblood, some raid tiers are also followed by a single '''ultimate raid''' released two weeks into the following odd-numbered major patch (i.e., x.11 or x.31). With the exception of [[Shadowbringers]], each expansion contains two ultimate raids. Ultimate raids are boss gauntlet style encounters where players encounter a series of significantly more powerful bosses from previous raids, trials, and dungeons. The final boss of an Ultimate raid is an original enemy design that was not present in earlier duties. Wiping at any point in the gauntlet will reset the encounter to the beginning. The sole exception is {{questlink|ultimateraid|Dragonsong's Reprise (Ultimate)}}, which has one checkpoint after the first phase of the encounter.

===Participation===
Ultimate raids can be unlocked by completing the fourth encounter of the Savage raid tier released in the previous patch from when the ultimate raid was released. Players must form a full party of 8 people to enter an instance; matchmaking through Duty Finder or Raid Finder is unavailable. Moreover, to mostly preserve the difficulty of ultimate raids even as newer content is released, each ultimate raid has a strict item level sync and no option to complete using an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled). However, due to job overhauls and other battle system changes, older ultimate raids are currently more forgiving than when they were first released in terms of DPS, healing, and mitigation requirements, allowing much more room for error. More recent ultimate raids are also designed to be more mechanically punishing than older raids, allowing essentially no deaths outside of very specific areas.

Newly-released ultimate raids are designed for players who have maximum item level, best-in-slot gear. Note that the item level of best-in-slot armor and accessories is 5 item levels ''lower'' than the item level sync for a newly-released ultimate raid. Two major patches after an ultimate raid is released, players may acquire gear from the newly released dungeon, which will be at the same item level as the item level sync for the Ultimate raid. Unless if an ultimate raid is from a previous expansion, it is not desirable to sync down current item level gear, because sub-stats from materia melds will not carried over. For older ultimate raids, players are free to equip any Lv. 100 gear, as the item level sync calculations will maximize the possible sub-stats. (To be precise, [[The Unending Coil of Bahamut]] requires item level 470 gear, [[The Weapon's Refrain (Ultimate)|The Weapon's Refrain]] item level 500, [[The Epic of Alexander]] item level 595, and [[Dragonsong's Reprise]] item level 725 for maximized sub-stats.<ref group="fn">Discord: Kupo Bot, !faq ultimatesync, accessed 10 February 2025

Many players choose to form or join "static" raid groups with other players to progress and complete ultimate raids. However, it is also possible to use Party Finder to clear them, especially for older ultimate raids, due to the presence of standardized strategies. In addition, on some data centers there are Discord servers that coordinate guided clears or party finding. While all Ultimate raids are very difficult, ''The Weapon's Refrain'' ("UWU") is considered the most accessible ultimate raid, followed by ''The Unending Coil of Bahamut'', ''The Epic of Alexander'', and ''Futures Rewritten''. The most difficult raids are generally considered to be ''Dragonsong's Reprise'' and ''The Omega Protocol''.

[[Limited Jobs|Limited jobs]] and [[Free Trial|free trial]] players cannot participate in ultimate raids.

===Rewards===
Due to their very high difficulty, ultimate raids are meant to be prestige content that is not part of normal gear progression. Ultimate raids reward [[Raid Tokens|totems]] that can be traded at certain vendors for weapons with special particle effects. These weapons are of the same item level as the previous Savage raid tier's but contain an extra materia melding slot. Completion of ultimate raids also unlock achievements, exclusive titles, and [[Adventurer Plate]] designs. When an ultimate raid is newly-released, each party member may obtain one totem per week for completion; this restriction is lifted in the next major patch.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Alliance Raids==
'''Alliance raids''' are fought by 24 players against a sequence of bosses and mobs, similar to a large-scale [[dungeon]]. The 24 players are divided into 3 full parties of 8 players, each consisting of 1 tank, 2 healers, and 5 DPS. These are all considered normal-difficulty content.

===Participation===
Alliance raids are released in odd-numbered patches (x.1, x.3, x.5), for a total of three alliance raids per expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. For each raid series, these duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first alliance raid of an expansion is required to unlock the second raid. To participate, players who meet the average minimum item level requirement can register using Duty Finder matchmaking.

===Rewards===
Each boss encounter in an alliance raid drops treasure chests containing equipment that can be rolled on, with the final boss also rewarding exclusive [[minion]]s, [[Triple Triad Cards]], and [[orchestrion rolls]]. The equipment is meant to be "catch-up" and is the same item item level as current, non-augmented tomestone gear. The final boss also drops a guaranteed [[Raid Tokens|coin]], which can be exchanged at certain vendors for tomestone gear upgrade materials that were previously exclusive to the current Savage raids. When an Alliance raid is current, each player can obtain one piece of equipment and one coin per week.

===Additional Information===
Owing its lack of an [[item level]] sync and substantial player power creep over time, the [[Crystal Tower]] alliance raids (with the third at a lesser extent) have become tediously easy duties that are often completed with little difficulty, to the point where mechanics on several bosses are ignored or outright skipped. As a result, many guides include mechanics that players will normally not experience unless on minimum [[Item Level|item level]] mode. Owing to this, players have developed a technique to deliberately lower their item level in the Alliance Roulette, so that it would select a Crystal Tower raid by default. As a result the developers decided to implement item level restrictions for the {{questlink|dutyroulette|Duty Roulette: Alliance Raids}} in [[Patch 6.5]], as to increase its diversity.

==[[File:Chaotic Alliance Raid.png|25px|link=]] Chaotic Alliance Raids==
'''Chaotic alliance raids''' are high-difficulty 24-player alliance raids fought against a single boss from previous alliance raids. The [[difficulty]] is comparable to a first or second-floor savage raid.

===Participation===
The first chaotic alliance raid was released one week after [[patch 7.15]]. It can be unlocked by completing {{questlink|main|Dawntrail (Quest)}} and then talking to the [[Wandering Minstrel]]. To participate, players can form pre-made parties via [[Party Finder]] before queuing in [[Raid Finder]]. Unlike regular alliance raids, chaotic raids are balanced around having 3 full parties each consisting of 2 tanks, 2 healers, and 4 DPS. However, pre-made parties can queue with a minimum of 12 players, although the difficulty will not be re-scaled.

===Rewards===
The first raid drops maximum item level armor (IL 730), 2 [[mount]]s, a [[minion]], and a [[hairstyle]]. Some rewards can also be sold on the [[Market Board]]. In addition, each player will receive tokens that can be exchanged for rewards. The equipment has different [[substats]], making certain pieces best-in-slot for specific jobs.

Unlike other current raids, there are no weekly restrictions on loot.

There are two additional loot bonuses:
*'''First Time Duty Bonus''': Additional tokens will be rewarded in proportion to the number of alliance members new to the duty.
*'''Limited Time Bonus''': A randomly occurring reward bonus<ref group="fn">The spawn "rules" for the bonus window are as follows:
*The window may begin at 3:00, 9:00, 15:00, or 21:00 GMT (24-hour clock) for all data centers.
*The time period may last for 3, 6, 9, or 12 hours, which is determined randomly per data center.
*After the window ends, there will be a cooldown of minimum 24 hours before another window can occur. There will then be a chance for a bonus window to start every 6 hours.
*The maximum cooldown is 48 hours, after which the bonus window will forcibly start.
</ref> that persists for several hours. Entering the duty during this period will give improved drop rates and additional tokens upon completion.

==[[File:Adventuring Foray.png|25px|link=]] Field Operation Raids==
'''Field Operation Raids''' do not fit the standard description or categorization of other "Raids" in Final Fantasy XIV. These are related to multiple expansions' [[field operations]] and often have unique entry requirements, high player counts, and vary in [[Difficulty]] ({{questlink|eureka|The Baldesion Arsenal}} and {{questlink|bsf|Delubrum Reginae (Savage)}} are considered high-end duties). They are generally not tied to the core item level progression of your character aside from progressing [[Relic Weapon]] quests. These duties are most comparable to [[Alliance Raids]], and often feature unique mechanics that require a higher level of coordination between players to emerge victorious.

===Participation===
Unlock and entry to these duties are associated with their respective [[field operations]] systems and progression. Each of these raids allows the usage of Field Operation specific [[Logos Actions]] and [[Lost Actions]], that are sometimes required to progress, or provide unique benefits and power boosts to your character. Similar to [[Variant Dungeons]], there are no job or minimum party size requirements, however low player counts can make these duties incredibly challenging or impossible to complete. Due to their unique participation requirements, and not being accessible via the [[Duty Finder]], it is not possible to enter these instances with duty finder settings such as [[Unrestricted Party]] enabled.

===Rewards===
Each of these encounters rewards are specific to their respective field operations system. They often provide materials for a [[Relic Weapon]] as well as [[achievements]], expansion-specific [[tomestones]] and unique [[mounts]].

==Item Level Sync==
Unlike dungeons, most raids do not have item level syncs, which means your item level will be synced to the maximum obtainable gear at the job level you are synced to. This over time can make raids rather trivial, especially if they have a low minimum item level compared to the max obtainable for the expansion. For example, Alexander: The Fist of the Father has a minimum item level of 170, but high level players joining from Roulettes will often be synced to only 270/275, making the fight much shorter and less healing intensive than the original experience. Players that are looking for a more engaging and balanced experience may want to consider doing certain raids in a preformed group via Party Finder with the Minimum Item Level option enabled. This will adjust the gear for all involved to provide an experience somewhat closer to the original release.

Note that Minimum Item Level will only make the content as hard as the developers designed it to be at that item level. Normal Raids - with the exception of Coils of Bahamut - will still be easily clearable, while Savage Raids can be expected to generally be extremely brutal on this setting.

==Achievements==
Raid completion is associated generally with the following [[achievements]]:

{| {{STDT|mech1}}
{{achievement table header}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons I}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons II}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons III}}

{{achievement table row|Dungeon Siege IV}}
{{achievement table row|Dungeon Master}}
{{achievement table row|Lifer I}}
{{achievement table row|Lifer II}}
{{achievement table row|Lifer III}}
|}

Specific raids will also reward certain [[Raids Achievements|achievements]] upon completion.

:''See also: [[Dungeons]], [[Trials]], [[Deep Dungeon]], [[Field Operations]], [[Variant Dungeons]], [[Criterion Dungeons]]''
[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] '''Raids''' are the core of the [[endgame]], posing the greatest challenges and offering the strongest loot. Unlike dungeons or trials, current-tier raids have limitations on how much loot players can receive per week. These limitations are removed once the raid is old, to make it easier to catch up. Raids are almost always optional content for [[Main Scenario Quest]] progression (the only exception being the level 50 [[Alliance Raid]] series), although some raids are prerequisites for other optional questlines.
{{TOC limit|3}}
==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Normal Raids==
'''Normal raids''' are fought by 8 players usually against a single boss, similar to a [[trial]].<ref group="fn">There are a few exceptions to this formula. The first is {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 3}}, which is a jumping puzzle with no boss and no substantial rewards. Another exception is {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 4}}, which is a gauntlet fight with no final boss. A third exception is {{questlink|raid|Alexander - The Cuff of the Father}} (both normal and savage), which also contains a gauntlet.</ref> Older raids may have other enemies or mini-bosses before the final boss, but the single-boss format has been consistent since [[Omega: Deltascape]]. Normal raids are similar in [[difficulty]] to story-difficulty trials and can be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking. The exception is the Lv. 50 Bahamut raid series, which is closer to Savage difficulty by default.

===Participation===
Normal raids are released in sets of four duties in the x.01, x.2, and x.4 patches of an expansion, for a total of 12 duties over three raid tiers in an expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. These duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first tier is required to unlock the second tier. Players who meet the minimum item level requirement for a normal raid can queue for it through Duty Finder.

===Rewards===
Normal raids drop a variety of equipment "tokens" which can be exchanged at certain vendors for high item level gear. In addition, the final duty of a current-[[expansion]] Normal raid will grant a [[Raid Tokens|Completion Reward]], of which seven can be exchanged along with 500 of the current capped tomestones for a weapon that is 10 item levels higher than current crafted gear. In a later patch, this requirement is lowered to four of the rewarded item. When a Normal raid series is current, players may obtain one token per duty and one reward item from the final floor per week.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Savage Raids==
Each normal raid also has a higher-difficulty equivalent, called a '''savage raid''', which uses the same boss but with more difficult mechanics, more health, and higher outgoing damage. In addition, all Savage bosses have a time limit in which they must be defeated or they will wipe the party with an enrage ability. Savage encounters usually follow a gradually increasing difficulty curve, with the first two encounters usually comparable or slighty higher in difficulty to an Extreme trial, and the last two encounters being significantly more challenging, although there are exceptions to this trend. Beginning with [[Omega: Deltascape (Savage)]], the final duty of each Savage raid tier is usually split into two boss encounters, with a checkpoint in between, meaning that wiping to the second phase will reset the party to the start of that phase. However, leaving the instance and resetting will require defeating the first phase again to re-acquire the checkpoint. The exceptions are [[Eden's Gate: Sepulture (Savage)]], [[Eden's Verse: Refulgence (Savage)]], and [[AAC Light-heavyweight M4 (Savage)]], which are long singular encounters containing boss phases exclusive to the Savage version, but no checkpoint. The first phase is usually referred to as a ''[[door boss]]'' by the community.

Since Deltascape (Savage), the first Savage tier in an expansion is deliberately tuned to be easier to allow players to become accustomed to the expansion's job changes and additions, and to encourage newer players to participate in high-end raiding. The second and third tiers are then designed to be more challenging than the first.

When a savage raid is no longer new, {{buff|the echo}} [[The Echo]] will applied to all players upon entering the duty, and the strength of this buff will not increase upon wiping. Savage raids from prior expansions are typically done with an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled) to complete them more easily, which does not impact rewards. However, some [[Battle Achievements|achievements]] require completing the final encounter of a previous savage raid tier with a full party of {{BLU}} [[Blue Mage|blue mages]] with silence [[The Echo|echo]] and level sync enabled.

===Participation===
Savage raids are released 2 weeks after normal raids in the x.05 patch of an expansion, and 1 week after the normal raid tier in the x.2 and x.4 patches. They can be unlocked by completing the respective Normal raid tier and associated quests, then speaking to a certain NPC depending on the raid series. Completion of the previous tier's Savage encounters is not required to unlock the current Savage tier. Savage raids are typically too difficult to be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking, so players in most data centers opt to use [[Party Finder]] for both practice and duty completion, or form "static" raid groups with other players.

Savage raids have a higher average item level requirement than the corresponding Normal raids, with the requirement for the first floor being the same item level as the maximum item level armor in the previous patch, the second floor being 5 item levels higher, and the third and fourth floors being 10 item levels higher. Savage raids are always released with new crafted and normal raid gear that meet the minimum item level for the last floors, along with weekly-capped tomestone gear that is 10 item levels higher. Players who wish to aim for an early clear of the tier are strongly advised to acquire a full set of {{HQ}} ''[[High Quality]]'' crafted gear and fully [[Materia Melding|meld]] it with [[materia]] ("pentamelding"), although this is a costly process. For the second and third Savage tier of an expansion, the extreme trial that was released with the patch will drop weapons that are 5 item levels higher than the crafted weapon, providing a good starting point for players who wish to participate in the tier.

With the advent of [[Data Center Travel]], players looking to participate in high-end duties, especially savage and ultimate raids, have started congregating in one data center per geographic region. These are
* North America: Aether
* Europe: Light
* Japan: Mana

Players on other data centers who wish to participate in current high-end content through Party Finder may find it necessary to travel to their region's primary "raiding" data center in order to form a party in a reasonable timeframe.

===Rewards===
Savage raids drop coffers that can be used to obtain equipment 20 item levels higher than the respective normal raid tier's loot. In addition, Savage raids reward items that can be used to augment the current weekly-capped tomestone equipment to the same item level as Savage gear. The final duty of each Savage raid tier rewards weapons that are at the maximum item level and exclusive mounts. For each job, the "best-in-slot" gear for a patch usually comprises a mixture of Savage gear and augmented tomestone gear based on which pieces provide the most desirable sub-stats.

Each duty in a Savage raid tier will also reward each party member with a [[Raid Tokens|book]], of which a certain number can be exchanged for equipment coffers and upgrade materials. When a Savage raid series is current, players may obtain one book per duty per week. In addition, the number of rewards that appear upon completion and can be rolled for will depend on how many players have completed the duty for the week. If one to four party members have completed the duty for the week, fewer items will appear in the treasure coffer. If more than five party members have completed the duty for the week, the treasure coffer will not appear. Unlike Normal raids, there is no restriction on how many rewards a single player can win from loot rolls as long as a chest appears. However, once a player has completed a duty for the week and leaves the instance, they will not be able to roll for loot upon defeating the boss again, regardless of whether they rolled or won any items the first time, until the weekly reset time.

Upon registering for and completing a current Savage raid, the player's weekly progress will be updated to that point, preventing them from obtaining rewards from previous raids regardless of whether they have completed them for the week. Older tiers also do not have loot restrictions.

Example: A player has yet to complete AAC Light-heavyweight M1 (Savage) for the week. They cannot register for AAC Light-heavyweight M2 (Savage). However, they join a premade party in which the leader has completed AAC Light-heavyweight M1 (Savage) for the week and can register for AAC Light-heavyweight M2 (Savage). The player can enter AAC Light-heavyweight M2 (Savage), but upon entering, they will forfeit all rewards from AAC Light-heavyweight M1 (Savage) until the next weekly reset.

Reward eligibility is [[reset]] every Tuesday at 8:00 (GMT).
* In the event a raid is underway when reward eligibility is reset, players will still be permitted to vie for items during the upcoming week.

==[[File:Ultimate Raid.png|25px|link=]] Ultimate Raids==
Beginning with Stormblood, some raid tiers are also followed by a single '''ultimate raid''' released two weeks into the following odd-numbered major patch (i.e., x.11 or x.31). With the exception of [[Shadowbringers]], each expansion contains two ultimate raids. Ultimate raids are boss gauntlet style encounters where players encounter a series of significantly more powerful bosses from previous raids, trials, and dungeons. The final boss of an Ultimate raid is an original enemy design that was not present in earlier duties. Wiping at any point in the gauntlet will reset the encounter to the beginning. The sole exception is {{questlink|ultimateraid|Dragonsong's Reprise (Ultimate)}}, which has one checkpoint after the first phase of the encounter.

===Participation===
Ultimate raids can be unlocked by completing the fourth encounter of the Savage raid tier released in the previous patch from when the ultimate raid was released. Players must form a full party of 8 people to enter an instance; matchmaking through Duty Finder or Raid Finder is unavailable. Moreover, to mostly preserve the difficulty of ultimate raids even as newer content is released, each ultimate raid has a strict item level sync and no option to complete using an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled). However, due to job overhauls and other battle system changes, older ultimate raids are currently more forgiving than when they were first released in terms of DPS, healing, and mitigation requirements, allowing much more room for error. More recent ultimate raids are also designed to be more mechanically punishing than older raids, allowing essentially no deaths outside of very specific areas.

Newly-released ultimate raids are designed for players who have maximum item level, best-in-slot gear. Note that the item level of best-in-slot armor and accessories is 5 item levels ''lower'' than the item level sync for a newly-released ultimate raid. Two major patches after an ultimate raid is released, players may acquire gear from the newly released dungeon, which will be at the same item level as the item level sync for the Ultimate raid. Unless if an ultimate raid is from a previous expansion, it is not desirable to sync down current item level gear, because sub-stats from materia melds will not carried over. For older ultimate raids, players are free to equip any Lv. 100 gear, as the item level sync calculations will maximize the possible sub-stats. (To be precise, [[The Unending Coil of Bahamut]] requires item level 470 gear, [[The Weapon's Refrain (Ultimate)|The Weapon's Refrain]] item level 500, [[The Epic of Alexander]] item level 595, and [[Dragonsong's Reprise]] item level 725 for maximized sub-stats.<ref group="fn">Discord: Kupo Bot, !faq ultimatesync, accessed 10 February 2025

Many players choose to form or join "static" raid groups with other players to progress and complete ultimate raids. However, it is also possible to use Party Finder to clear them, especially for older ultimate raids, due to the presence of standardized strategies. In addition, on some data centers there are Discord servers that coordinate guided clears or party finding. While all Ultimate raids are very difficult, ''The Weapon's Refrain'' ("UWU") is considered the most accessible ultimate raid, followed by ''The Unending Coil of Bahamut'', ''The Epic of Alexander'', and ''Futures Rewritten''. The most difficult raids are generally considered to be ''Dragonsong's Reprise'' and ''The Omega Protocol''.

[[Limited Jobs|Limited jobs]] and [[Free Trial|free trial]] players cannot participate in ultimate raids.

===Rewards===
Due to their very high difficulty, ultimate raids are meant to be prestige content that is not part of normal gear progression. Ultimate raids reward [[Raid Tokens|totems]] that can be traded at certain vendors for weapons with special particle effects. These weapons are of the same item level as the previous Savage raid tier's but contain an extra materia melding slot. Completion of ultimate raids also unlock achievements, exclusive titles, and [[Adventurer Plate]] designs. When an ultimate raid is newly-released, each party member may obtain one totem per week for completion; this restriction is lifted in the next major patch.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Alliance Raids==
'''Alliance raids''' are fought by 24 players against a sequence of bosses and mobs, similar to a large-scale [[dungeon]]. The 24 players are divided into 3 full parties of 8 players, each consisting of 1 tank, 2 healers, and 5 DPS. These are all considered normal-difficulty content.

===Participation===
Alliance raids are released in odd-numbered patches (x.1, x.3, x.5), for a total of three alliance raids per expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. For each raid series, these duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first alliance raid of an expansion is required to unlock the second raid. To participate, players who meet the average minimum item level requirement can register using Duty Finder matchmaking.

===Rewards===
Each boss encounter in an alliance raid drops treasure chests containing equipment that can be rolled on, with the final boss also rewarding exclusive [[minion]]s, [[Triple Triad Cards]], and [[orchestrion rolls]]. The equipment is meant to be "catch-up" and is the same item item level as current, non-augmented tomestone gear. The final boss also drops a guaranteed [[Raid Tokens|coin]], which can be exchanged at certain vendors for tomestone gear upgrade materials that were previously exclusive to the current Savage raids. When an Alliance raid is current, each player can obtain one piece of equipment and one coin per week.

===Additional Information===
Owing its lack of an [[item level]] sync and substantial player power creep over time, the [[Crystal Tower]] alliance raids (with the third at a lesser extent) have become tediously easy duties that are often completed with little difficulty, to the point where mechanics on several bosses are ignored or outright skipped. As a result, many guides include mechanics that players will normally not experience unless on minimum [[Item Level|item level]] mode. Owing to this, players have developed a technique to deliberately lower their item level in the Alliance Roulette, so that it would select a Crystal Tower raid by default. As a result the developers decided to implement item level restrictions for the {{questlink|dutyroulette|Duty Roulette: Alliance Raids}} in [[Patch 6.5]], as to increase its diversity.

==[[File:Chaotic Alliance Raid.png|25px|link=]] Chaotic Alliance Raids==
'''Chaotic alliance raids''' are high-difficulty 24-player alliance raids fought against a single boss from previous alliance raids. The [[difficulty]] is comparable to a first or second-floor savage raid.

===Participation===
The first chaotic alliance raid was released one week after [[patch 7.15]]. It can be unlocked by completing {{questlink|main|Dawntrail (Quest)}} and then talking to the [[Wandering Minstrel]]. To participate, players can form pre-made parties via [[Party Finder]] before queuing in [[Raid Finder]]. Unlike regular alliance raids, chaotic raids are balanced around having 3 full parties each consisting of 2 tanks, 2 healers, and 4 DPS. However, pre-made parties can queue with a minimum of 12 players, although the difficulty will not be re-scaled.

===Rewards===
The first raid drops maximum item level armor (IL 730), 2 [[mount]]s, a [[minion]], and a [[hairstyle]]. Some rewards can also be sold on the [[Market Board]]. In addition, each player will receive tokens that can be exchanged for rewards. The equipment has different [[substats]], making certain pieces best-in-slot for specific jobs.

Unlike other current raids, there are no weekly restrictions on loot.

There are two additional loot bonuses:
*'''First Time Duty Bonus''': Additional tokens will be rewarded in proportion to the number of alliance members new to the duty.
*'''Limited Time Bonus''': A randomly occurring reward bonus<ref group="fn">The spawn "rules" for the bonus window are as follows:
*The window may begin at 3:00, 9:00, 15:00, or 21:00 GMT (24-hour clock) for all data centers.
*The time period may last for 3, 6, 9, or 12 hours, which is determined randomly per data center.
*After the window ends, there will be a cooldown of minimum 24 hours before another window can occur. There will then be a chance for a bonus window to start every 6 hours.
*The maximum cooldown is 48 hours, after which the bonus window will forcibly start.
</ref> that persists for several hours. Entering the duty during this period will give improved drop rates and additional tokens upon completion.

==[[File:Adventuring Foray.png|25px|link=]] Field Operation Raids==
'''Field Operation Raids''' do not fit the standard description or categorization of other "Raids" in Final Fantasy XIV. These are related to multiple expansions' [[field operations]] and often have unique entry requirements, high player counts, and vary in [[Difficulty]] ({{questlink|eureka|The Baldesion Arsenal}} and {{questlink|bsf|Delubrum Reginae (Savage)}} are considered high-end duties). They are generally not tied to the core item level progression of your character aside from progressing [[Relic Weapon]] quests. These duties are most comparable to [[Alliance Raids]], and often feature unique mechanics that require a higher level of coordination between players to emerge victorious.

===Participation===
Unlock and entry to these duties are associated with their respective [[field operations]] systems and progression. Each of these raids allows the usage of Field Operation specific [[Logos Actions]] and [[Lost Actions]], that are sometimes required to progress, or provide unique benefits and power boosts to your character. Similar to [[Variant Dungeons]], there are no job or minimum party size requirements, however low player counts can make these duties incredibly challenging or impossible to complete. Due to their unique participation requirements, and not being accessible via the [[Duty Finder]], it is not possible to enter these instances with duty finder settings such as [[Unrestricted Party]] enabled.

===Rewards===
Each of these encounters rewards are specific to their respective field operations system. They often provide materials for a [[Relic Weapon]] as well as [[achievements]], expansion-specific [[tomestones]] and unique [[mounts]].

==Item Level Sync==
Unlike dungeons, most raids do not have item level syncs, which means your item level will be synced to the maximum obtainable gear at the job level you are synced to. This over time can make raids rather trivial, especially if they have a low minimum item level compared to the max obtainable for the expansion. For example, Alexander: The Fist of the Father has a minimum item level of 170, but high level players joining from Roulettes will often be synced to only 270/275, making the fight much shorter and less healing intensive than the original experience. Players that are looking for a more engaging and balanced experience may want to consider doing certain raids in a preformed group via Party Finder with the Minimum Item Level option enabled. This will adjust the gear for all involved to provide an experience somewhat closer to the original release.

Note that Minimum Item Level will only make the content as hard as the developers designed it to be at that item level. Normal Raids - with the exception of Coils of Bahamut - will still be easily clearable, while Savage Raids can be expected to generally be extremely brutal on this setting.

==Achievements==
Raid completion is associated generally with the following [[achievements]]:

{| {{STDT|mech1}}
{{achievement table header}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons I}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons II}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons III}}

|}

:''See also: [[Dungeons]], [[Trials]], [[Deep Dungeon]], [[Field Operations]], [[Variant Dungeons]], [[Criterion Dungeons]]''
[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] '''Raids''' are the core of the [[endgame]], posing the greatest challenges and offering the strongest loot. Unlike dungeons or trials, current-tier raids have limitations on how much loot players can receive per week. These limitations are removed once the raid is old, to make it easier to catch up. Raids are almost always optional content for [[Main Scenario Quest]] progression (the only exception being the level 50 [[Alliance Raid]] series), although some raids are prerequisites for other optional questlines.
{{TOC limit|3}}
==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Normal Raids==
'''Normal raids''' are fought by 8 players usually against a single boss, similar to a [[trial]].<ref group="fn">There are a few exceptions to this formula. The first is {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 3}}, which is a jumping puzzle with no boss and no substantial rewards. Another exception is {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 4}}, which is a gauntlet fight with no final boss. A third exception is {{questlink|raid|Alexander - The Cuff of the Father}} (both normal and savage), which also contains a gauntlet.</ref> Older raids may have other enemies or mini-bosses before the final boss, but the single-boss format has been consistent since [[Omega: Deltascape]]. Normal raids are similar in [[difficulty]] to story-difficulty trials and can be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking. The exception is the Lv. 50 Bahamut raid series, which is closer to Savage difficulty by default.

===Participation===
Normal raids are released in sets of four duties in the x.01, x.2, and x.4 patches of an expansion, for a total of 12 duties over three raid tiers in an expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. These duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first tier is required to unlock the second tier. Players who meet the minimum item level requirement for a normal raid can queue for it through Duty Finder.

===Rewards===
Normal raids drop a variety of equipment "tokens" which can be exchanged at certain vendors for high item level gear. In addition, the final duty of a current-[[expansion]] Normal raid will grant a [[Raid Tokens|Completion Reward]], of which seven can be exchanged along with 500 of the current capped tomestones for a weapon that is 10 item levels higher than current crafted gear. In a later patch, this requirement is lowered to four of the rewarded item. When a Normal raid series is current, players may obtain one token per duty and one reward item from the final floor per week.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Savage Raids==
Each normal raid also has a higher-difficulty equivalent, called a '''savage raid''', which uses the same boss but with more difficult mechanics, more health, and higher outgoing damage. In addition, all Savage bosses have a time limit in which they must be defeated or they will wipe the party with an enrage ability. Savage encounters usually follow a gradually increasing difficulty curve, with the first two encounters usually comparable or slighty higher in difficulty to an Extreme trial, and the last two encounters being significantly more challenging, although there are exceptions to this trend. Beginning with [[Omega: Deltascape (Savage)]], the final duty of each Savage raid tier is usually split into two boss encounters, with a checkpoint in between, meaning that wiping to the second phase will reset the party to the start of that phase. However, leaving the instance and resetting will require defeating the first phase again to re-acquire the checkpoint. The exceptions are [[Eden's Gate: Sepulture (Savage)]], [[Eden's Verse: Refulgence (Savage)]], and [[AAC Light-heavyweight M4 (Savage)]], which are long singular encounters containing boss phases exclusive to the Savage version, but no checkpoint. The first phase is usually referred to as a ''[[door boss]]'' by the community.

Since Deltascape (Savage), the first Savage tier in an expansion is deliberately tuned to be easier to allow players to become accustomed to the expansion's job changes and additions, and to encourage newer players to participate in high-end raiding. The second and third tiers are then designed to be more challenging than the first.

When a savage raid is no longer new, {{buff|the echo}} [[The Echo]] will applied to all players upon entering the duty, and the strength of this buff will not increase upon wiping. Savage raids from prior expansions are typically done with an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled) to complete them more easily, which does not impact rewards. However, some [[Battle Achievements|achievements]] require completing the final encounter of a previous savage raid tier with a full party of {{BLU}} [[Blue Mage|blue mages]] with silence [[The Echo|echo]] and level sync enabled.

===Participation===
Savage raids are released 2 weeks after normal raids in the x.05 patch of an expansion, and 1 week after the normal raid tier in the x.2 and x.4 patches. They can be unlocked by completing the respective Normal raid tier and associated quests, then speaking to a certain NPC depending on the raid series. Completion of the previous tier's Savage encounters is not required to unlock the current Savage tier. Savage raids are typically too difficult to be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking, so players in most data centers opt to use [[Party Finder]] for both practice and duty completion, or form "static" raid groups with other players.

Savage raids have a higher average item level requirement than the corresponding Normal raids, with the requirement for the first floor being the same item level as the maximum item level armor in the previous patch, the second floor being 5 item levels higher, and the third and fourth floors being 10 item levels higher. Savage raids are always released with new crafted and normal raid gear that meet the minimum item level for the last floors, along with weekly-capped tomestone gear that is 10 item levels higher. Players who wish to aim for an early clear of the tier are strongly advised to acquire a full set of {{HQ}} ''[[High Quality]]'' crafted gear and fully [[Materia Melding|meld]] it with [[materia]] ("pentamelding"), although this is a costly process. For the second and third Savage tier of an expansion, the extreme trial that was released with the patch will drop weapons that are 5 item levels higher than the crafted weapon, providing a good starting point for players who wish to participate in the tier.

With the advent of [[Data Center Travel]], players looking to participate in high-end duties, especially savage and ultimate raids, have started congregating in one data center per geographic region. These are
* North America: Aether
* Europe: Light
* Japan: Mana

Players on other data centers who wish to participate in current high-end content through Party Finder may find it necessary to travel to their region's primary "raiding" data center in order to form a party in a reasonable timeframe.

===Rewards===
Savage raids drop coffers that can be used to obtain equipment 20 item levels higher than the respective normal raid tier's loot. In addition, Savage raids reward items that can be used to augment the current weekly-capped tomestone equipment to the same item level as Savage gear. The final duty of each Savage raid tier rewards weapons that are at the maximum item level and exclusive mounts. For each job, the "best-in-slot" gear for a patch usually comprises a mixture of Savage gear and augmented tomestone gear based on which pieces provide the most desirable sub-stats.

Each duty in a Savage raid tier will also reward each party member with a [[Raid Tokens|book]], of which a certain number can be exchanged for equipment coffers and upgrade materials. When a Savage raid series is current, players may obtain one book per duty per week. In addition, the number of rewards that appear upon completion and can be rolled for will depend on how many players have completed the duty for the week. If one to four party members have completed the duty for the week, fewer items will appear in the treasure coffer. If more than five party members have completed the duty for the week, the treasure coffer will not appear. Unlike Normal raids, there is no restriction on how many rewards a single player can win from loot rolls as long as a chest appears. However, once a player has completed a duty for the week and leaves the instance, they will not be able to roll for loot upon defeating the boss again, regardless of whether they rolled or won any items the first time, until the weekly reset time.

Upon registering for and completing a current Savage raid, the player's weekly progress will be updated to that point, preventing them from obtaining rewards from previous raids regardless of whether they have completed them for the week. Older tiers also do not have loot restrictions.

Example: A player has yet to complete AAC Light-heavyweight M1 (Savage) for the week. They cannot register for AAC Light-heavyweight M2 (Savage). However, they join a premade party in which the leader has completed AAC Light-heavyweight M1 (Savage) for the week and can register for AAC Light-heavyweight M2 (Savage). The player can enter AAC Light-heavyweight M2 (Savage), but upon entering, they will forfeit all rewards from AAC Light-heavyweight M1 (Savage) until the next weekly reset.

Reward eligibility is [[reset]] every Tuesday at 8:00 (GMT).
* In the event a raid is underway when reward eligibility is reset, players will still be permitted to vie for items during the upcoming week.

==[[File:Ultimate Raid.png|25px|link=]] Ultimate Raids==
Beginning with Stormblood, some raid tiers are also followed by a single '''ultimate raid''' released two weeks into the following odd-numbered major patch (i.e., x.11 or x.31). With the exception of [[Shadowbringers]], each expansion contains two ultimate raids. Ultimate raids are boss gauntlet style encounters where players encounter a series of significantly more powerful bosses from previous raids, trials, and dungeons. The final boss of an Ultimate raid is an original enemy design that was not present in earlier duties. Wiping at any point in the gauntlet will reset the encounter to the beginning. The sole exception is {{questlink|ultimateraid|Dragonsong's Reprise (Ultimate)}}, which has one checkpoint after the first phase of the encounter.

===Participation===
Ultimate raids can be unlocked by completing the fourth encounter of the Savage raid tier released in the previous patch from when the ultimate raid was released. Players must form a full party of 8 people to enter an instance; matchmaking through Duty Finder or Raid Finder is unavailable. Moreover, to mostly preserve the difficulty of ultimate raids even as newer content is released, each ultimate raid has a strict item level sync and no option to complete using an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled). However, due to job overhauls and other battle system changes, older ultimate raids are currently more forgiving than when they were first released in terms of DPS, healing, and mitigation requirements, allowing much more room for error. More recent ultimate raids are also designed to be more mechanically punishing than older raids, allowing essentially no deaths outside of very specific areas.

Newly-released ultimate raids are designed for players who have maximum item level, best-in-slot gear. Note that the item level of best-in-slot armor and accessories is 5 item levels ''lower'' than the item level sync for a newly-released ultimate raid. Two major patches after an ultimate raid is released, players may acquire gear from the newly released dungeon, which will be at the same item level as the item level sync for the Ultimate raid. Unless if an ultimate raid is from a previous expansion, it is not desirable to sync down current item level gear, because sub-stats from materia melds will not carried over. For older ultimate raids, players are free to equip any Lv. 100 gear, as the item level sync calculations will maximize the possible sub-stats. (To be precise, [[The Unending Coil of Bahamut]] requires item level 470 gear, [[The Weapon's Refrain (Ultimate)|The Weapon's Refrain]] item level 500, [[The Epic of Alexander]] item level 595, and [[Dragonsong's Reprise]] item level 725 for maximized sub-stats.<ref group="fn">Discord: Kupo Bot, !faq ultimatesync, accessed 10 February 2025

Many players choose to form or join "static" raid groups with other players to progress and complete ultimate raids. However, it is also possible to use Party Finder to clear them, especially for older ultimate raids, due to the presence of standardized strategies. In addition, on some data centers there are Discord servers that coordinate guided clears or party finding. While all Ultimate raids are very difficult, ''The Weapon's Refrain'' ("UWU") is considered the most accessible ultimate raid, followed by ''The Unending Coil of Bahamut'', ''The Epic of Alexander'', and ''Futures Rewritten''. The most difficult raids are generally considered to be ''Dragonsong's Reprise'' and ''The Omega Protocol''.

[[Limited Jobs|Limited jobs]] and [[Free Trial|free trial]] players cannot participate in ultimate raids.

===Rewards===
Due to their very high difficulty, ultimate raids are meant to be prestige content that is not part of normal gear progression. Ultimate raids reward [[Raid Tokens|totems]] that can be traded at certain vendors for weapons with special particle effects. These weapons are of the same item level as the previous Savage raid tier's but contain an extra materia melding slot. Completion of ultimate raids also unlock achievements, exclusive titles, and [[Adventurer Plate]] designs. When an ultimate raid is newly-released, each party member may obtain one totem per week for completion; this restriction is lifted in the next major patch.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Alliance Raids==
'''Alliance raids''' are fought by 24 players against a sequence of bosses and mobs, similar to a large-scale [[dungeon]]. The 24 players are divided into 3 full parties of 8 players, each consisting of 1 tank, 2 healers, and 5 DPS. These are all considered normal-difficulty content.

===Participation===
Alliance raids are released in odd-numbered patches (x.1, x.3, x.5), for a total of three alliance raids per expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. For each raid series, these duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first alliance raid of an expansion is required to unlock the second raid. To participate, players who meet the average minimum item level requirement can register using Duty Finder matchmaking.

===Rewards===
Each boss encounter in an alliance raid drops treasure chests containing equipment that can be rolled on, with the final boss also rewarding exclusive [[minion]]s, [[Triple Triad Cards]], and [[orchestrion rolls]]. The equipment is meant to be "catch-up" and is the same item item level as current, non-augmented tomestone gear. The final boss also drops a guaranteed [[Raid Tokens|coin]], which can be exchanged at certain vendors for tomestone gear upgrade materials that were previously exclusive to the current Savage raids. When an Alliance raid is current, each player can obtain one piece of equipment and one coin per week.

===Additional Information===
Owing its lack of an [[item level]] sync and substantial player power creep over time, the [[Crystal Tower]] alliance raids (with the third at a lesser extent) have become tediously easy duties that are often completed with little difficulty, to the point where mechanics on several bosses are ignored or outright skipped. As a result, many guides include mechanics that players will normally not experience unless on minimum [[Item Level|item level]] mode. Owing to this, players have developed a technique to deliberately lower their item level in the Alliance Roulette, so that it would select a Crystal Tower raid by default. As a result the developers decided to implement item level restrictions for the {{questlink|dutyroulette|Duty Roulette: Alliance Raids}} in [[Patch 6.5]], as to increase its diversity.

==[[File:Chaotic Alliance Raid.png|25px|link=]] Chaotic Alliance Raids==
'''Chaotic alliance raids''' are high-difficulty 24-player alliance raids fought against a single boss from previous alliance raids. The [[difficulty]] is comparable to a first or second-floor savage raid.

===Participation===
The first chaotic alliance raid was released one week after [[patch 7.15]]. It can be unlocked by completing {{questlink|main|Dawntrail (Quest)}} and then talking to the [[Wandering Minstrel]]. To participate, players can form pre-made parties via [[Party Finder]] before queuing in [[Raid Finder]]. Unlike regular alliance raids, chaotic raids are balanced around having 3 full parties each consisting of 2 tanks, 2 healers, and 4 DPS. However, pre-made parties can queue with a minimum of 12 players, although the difficulty will not be re-scaled.

===Rewards===
The first raid drops maximum item level armor (IL 730), 2 [[mount]]s, a [[minion]], and a [[hairstyle]]. Some rewards can also be sold on the [[Market Board]]. In addition, each player will receive tokens that can be exchanged for rewards. The equipment has different [[substats]], making certain pieces best-in-slot for specific jobs.

Unlike other current raids, there are no weekly restrictions on loot.

There are two additional loot bonuses:
*'''First Time Duty Bonus''': Additional tokens will be rewarded in proportion to the number of alliance members new to the duty.
*'''Limited Time Bonus''': A randomly occurring reward bonus<ref group="fn">The spawn "rules" for the bonus window are as follows:
*The window may begin at 3:00, 9:00, 15:00, or 21:00 GMT (24-hour clock) for all data centers.
*The time period may last for 3, 6, 9, or 12 hours, which is determined randomly per data center.
*After the window ends, there will be a cooldown of minimum 24 hours before another window can occur. There will then be a chance for a bonus window to start every 6 hours.
*The maximum cooldown is 48 hours, after which the bonus window will forcibly start.
</ref> that persists for several hours. Entering the duty during this period will give improved drop rates and additional tokens upon completion.

==[[File:Adventuring Foray.png|25px|link=]] Field Operation Raids==
'''Field Operation Raids''' do not fit the standard description or categorization of other "Raids" in Final Fantasy XIV. These are related to multiple expansions' [[field operations]] and often have unique entry requirements, high player counts, and vary in [[Difficulty]] ({{questlink|eureka|The Baldesion Arsenal}} and {{questlink|bsf|Delubrum Reginae (Savage)}} are considered high-end duties). They are generally not tied to the core item level progression of your character aside from progressing [[Relic Weapon]] quests. These duties are most comparable to [[Alliance Raids]], and often feature unique mechanics that require a higher level of coordination between players to emerge victorious.

===Participation===
Unlock and entry to these duties are associated with their respective [[field operations]] systems and progression. Each of these raids allows the usage of Field Operation specific [[Logos Actions]] and [[Lost Actions]], that are sometimes required to progress, or provide unique benefits and power boosts to your character. Similar to [[Variant Dungeons]], there are no job or minimum party size requirements, however low player counts can make these duties incredibly challenging or impossible to complete. Due to their unique participation requirements, and not being accessible via the [[Duty Finder]], it is not possible to enter these instances with duty finder settings such as [[Unrestricted Party]] enabled.

===Rewards===
Each of these encounters rewards are specific to their respective field operations system. They often provide materials for a [[Relic Weapon]] as well as [[achievements]], expansion-specific [[tomestones]] and unique [[mounts]].

==Item Level Sync==
Unlike dungeons, most raids do not have item level syncs, which means your item level will be synced to the maximum obtainable gear at the job level you are synced to. This over time can make raids rather trivial, especially if they have a low minimum item level compared to the max obtainable for the expansion. For example, Alexander: The Fist of the Father has a minimum item level of 170, but high level players joining from Roulettes will often be synced to only 270/275, making the fight much shorter and less healing intensive than the original experience. Players that are looking for a more engaging and balanced experience may want to consider doing certain raids in a preformed group via Party Finder with the Minimum Item Level option enabled. This will adjust the gear for all involved to provide an experience somewhat closer to the original release.

Note that Minimum Item Level will only make the content as hard as the developers designed it to be at that item level. Normal Raids - with the exception of Coils of Bahamut - will still be easily clearable, while Savage Raids can be expected to generally be extremely brutal on this setting.

==Achievements==
Raid completion is associated generally with the following [[achievements]]:

{| {{STDT|mech1}}
{{achievement table header}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons I}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons II}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons III}}

|}

Specific raids will also reward certain [[Raids Achievements|achievements]] upon completion.

ArcaneToast: noting that duty finder settings aren't usable

:''See also: [[Dungeons]], [[Trials]], [[Deep Dungeon]], [[Field Operations]], [[Variant Dungeons]], [[Criterion Dungeons]]''
[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] '''Raids''' are the core of the [[endgame]], posing the greatest challenges and offering the strongest loot. Unlike dungeons or trials, current-tier raids have limitations on how much loot players can receive per week. These limitations are removed once the raid is old, to make it easier to catch up. Raids are almost always optional content for [[Main Scenario Quest]] progression (the only exception being the level 50 [[Alliance Raid]] series), although some raids are prerequisites for other optional questlines.
{{TOC limit|3}}
==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Normal Raids==
'''Normal raids''' are fought by 8 players usually against a single boss, similar to a [[trial]].<ref group="fn">There are a few exceptions to this formula. The first is {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 3}}, which is a jumping puzzle with no boss and no substantial rewards. Another exception is {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 4}}, which is a gauntlet fight with no final boss. A third exception is {{questlink|raid|Alexander - The Cuff of the Father}} (both normal and savage), which also contains a gauntlet.</ref> Older raids may have other enemies or mini-bosses before the final boss, but the single-boss format has been consistent since [[Omega: Deltascape]]. Normal raids are similar in [[difficulty]] to story-difficulty trials and can be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking. The exception is the Lv. 50 Bahamut raid series, which is closer to Savage difficulty by default.

===Participation===
Normal raids are released in sets of four duties in the x.01, x.2, and x.4 patches of an expansion, for a total of 12 duties over three raid tiers in an expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. These duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first tier is required to unlock the second tier. Players who meet the minimum item level requirement for a normal raid can queue for it through Duty Finder.

===Rewards===
Normal raids drop a variety of equipment "tokens" which can be exchanged at certain vendors for high item level gear. In addition, the final duty of a current-[[expansion]] Normal raid will grant a [[Raid Tokens|Completion Reward]], of which seven can be exchanged along with 500 of the current capped tomestones for a weapon that is 10 item levels higher than current crafted gear. In a later patch, this requirement is lowered to four of the rewarded item. When a Normal raid series is current, players may obtain one token per duty and one reward item from the final floor per week.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Savage Raids==
Each normal raid also has a higher-difficulty equivalent, called a '''savage raid''', which uses the same boss but with more difficult mechanics, more health, and higher outgoing damage. In addition, all Savage bosses have a time limit in which they must be defeated or they will wipe the party with an enrage ability. Savage encounters usually follow a gradually increasing difficulty curve, with the first two encounters usually comparable or slighty higher in difficulty to an Extreme trial, and the last two encounters being significantly more challenging, although there are exceptions to this trend. Beginning with [[Omega: Deltascape (Savage)]], the final duty of each Savage raid tier is usually split into two boss encounters, with a checkpoint in between, meaning that wiping to the second phase will reset the party to the start of that phase. However, leaving the instance and resetting will require defeating the first phase again to re-acquire the checkpoint. The exceptions are [[Eden's Gate: Sepulture (Savage)]], [[Eden's Verse: Refulgence (Savage)]], and [[AAC Light-heavyweight M4 (Savage)]], which are long singular encounters containing boss phases exclusive to the Savage version, but no checkpoint. The first phase is usually referred to as a ''[[door boss]]'' by the community.

Since Deltascape (Savage), the first Savage tier in an expansion is deliberately tuned to be easier to allow players to become accustomed to the expansion's job changes and additions, and to encourage newer players to participate in high-end raiding. The second and third tiers are then designed to be more challenging than the first.

When a savage raid is no longer new, {{buff|the echo}} [[The Echo]] will applied to all players upon entering the duty, and the strength of this buff will not increase upon wiping. Savage raids from prior expansions are typically done with an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled) to complete them more easily, which does not impact rewards. However, some [[Battle Achievements|achievements]] require completing the final encounter of a previous savage raid tier with a full party of {{BLU}} [[Blue Mage|blue mages]] with silence [[The Echo|echo]] and level sync enabled.

===Participation===
Savage raids are released 2 weeks after normal raids in the x.05 patch of an expansion, and 1 week after the normal raid tier in the x.2 and x.4 patches. They can be unlocked by completing the respective Normal raid tier and associated quests, then speaking to a certain NPC depending on the raid series. Completion of the previous tier's Savage encounters is not required to unlock the current Savage tier. Savage raids are typically too difficult to be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking, so players in most data centers opt to use [[Party Finder]] for both practice and duty completion, or form "static" raid groups with other players.

Savage raids have a higher average item level requirement than the corresponding Normal raids, with the requirement for the first floor being the same item level as the maximum item level armor in the previous patch, the second floor being 5 item levels higher, and the third and fourth floors being 10 item levels higher. Savage raids are always released with new crafted and normal raid gear that meet the minimum item level for the last floors, along with weekly-capped tomestone gear that is 10 item levels higher. Players who wish to aim for an early clear of the tier are strongly advised to acquire a full set of {{HQ}} ''[[High Quality]]'' crafted gear and fully [[Materia Melding|meld]] it with [[materia]] ("pentamelding"), although this is a costly process. For the second and third Savage tier of an expansion, the extreme trial that was released with the patch will drop weapons that are 5 item levels higher than the crafted weapon, providing a good starting point for players who wish to participate in the tier.

With the advent of [[Data Center Travel]], players looking to participate in high-end duties, especially savage and ultimate raids, have started congregating in one data center per geographic region. These are
* North America: Aether
* Europe: Light
* Japan: Mana

Players on other data centers who wish to participate in current high-end content through Party Finder may find it necessary to travel to their region's primary "raiding" data center in order to form a party in a reasonable timeframe.

===Rewards===
Savage raids drop coffers that can be used to obtain equipment 20 item levels higher than the respective normal raid tier's loot. In addition, Savage raids reward items that can be used to augment the current weekly-capped tomestone equipment to the same item level as Savage gear. The final duty of each Savage raid tier rewards weapons that are at the maximum item level and exclusive mounts. For each job, the "best-in-slot" gear for a patch usually comprises a mixture of Savage gear and augmented tomestone gear based on which pieces provide the most desirable sub-stats.

Each duty in a Savage raid tier will also reward each party member with a [[Raid Tokens|book]], of which a certain number can be exchanged for equipment coffers and upgrade materials. When a Savage raid series is current, players may obtain one book per duty per week. In addition, the number of rewards that appear upon completion and can be rolled for will depend on how many players have completed the duty for the week. If one to four party members have completed the duty for the week, fewer items will appear in the treasure coffer. If more than five party members have completed the duty for the week, the treasure coffer will not appear. Unlike Normal raids, there is no restriction on how many rewards a single player can win from loot rolls as long as a chest appears. However, once a player has completed a duty for the week and leaves the instance, they will not be able to roll for loot upon defeating the boss again, regardless of whether they rolled or won any items the first time, until the weekly reset time.

Upon registering for and completing a current Savage raid, the player's weekly progress will be updated to that point, preventing them from obtaining rewards from previous raids regardless of whether they have completed them for the week. Older tiers also do not have loot restrictions.

Example: A player has yet to complete AAC Light-heavyweight M1 (Savage) for the week. They cannot register for AAC Light-heavyweight M2 (Savage). However, they join a premade party in which the leader has completed AAC Light-heavyweight M1 (Savage) for the week and can register for AAC Light-heavyweight M2 (Savage). The player can enter AAC Light-heavyweight M2 (Savage), but upon entering, they will forfeit all rewards from AAC Light-heavyweight M1 (Savage) until the next weekly reset.

Reward eligibility is [[reset]] every Tuesday at 8:00 (GMT).
* In the event a raid is underway when reward eligibility is reset, players will still be permitted to vie for items during the upcoming week.

==[[File:Ultimate Raid.png|25px|link=]] Ultimate Raids==
Beginning with Stormblood, some raid tiers are also followed by a single '''ultimate raid''' released two weeks into the following odd-numbered major patch (i.e., x.11 or x.31). With the exception of [[Shadowbringers]], each expansion contains two ultimate raids. Ultimate raids are boss gauntlet style encounters where players encounter a series of significantly more powerful bosses from previous raids, trials, and dungeons. The final boss of an Ultimate raid is an original enemy design that was not present in earlier duties. Wiping at any point in the gauntlet will reset the encounter to the beginning. The sole exception is {{questlink|ultimateraid|Dragonsong's Reprise (Ultimate)}}, which has one checkpoint after the first phase of the encounter.

===Participation===
Ultimate raids can be unlocked by completing the fourth encounter of the Savage raid tier released in the previous patch from when the ultimate raid was released. Players must form a full party of 8 people to enter an instance; matchmaking through Duty Finder or Raid Finder is unavailable. Moreover, to mostly preserve the difficulty of ultimate raids even as newer content is released, each ultimate raid has a strict item level sync and no option to complete using an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled). However, due to job overhauls and other battle system changes, older ultimate raids are currently more forgiving than when they were first released in terms of DPS, healing, and mitigation requirements, allowing much more room for error. More recent ultimate raids are also designed to be more mechanically punishing than older raids, allowing essentially no deaths outside of very specific areas.

Newly-released ultimate raids are designed for players who have maximum item level, best-in-slot gear. Note that the item level of best-in-slot armor and accessories is 5 item levels ''lower'' than the item level sync for a newly-released ultimate raid. Two major patches after an ultimate raid is released, players may acquire gear from the newly released dungeon, which will be at the same item level as the item level sync for the Ultimate raid. Unless if an ultimate raid is from a previous expansion, it is not desirable to sync down current item level gear, because sub-stats from materia melds will not carried over. For older ultimate raids, players are free to equip any Lv. 100 gear, as the item level sync calculations will maximize the possible sub-stats. (To be precise, [[The Unending Coil of Bahamut]] requires item level 470 gear, [[The Weapon's Refrain (Ultimate)|The Weapon's Refrain]] item level 500, [[The Epic of Alexander]] item level 595, and [[Dragonsong's Reprise]] item level 725 for maximized sub-stats.<ref group="fn">Discord: Kupo Bot, !faq ultimatesync, accessed 10 February 2025

|}</ref>)

Many players choose to form or join "static" raid groups with other players to progress and complete ultimate raids. However, it is also possible to use Party Finder to clear them, especially for older ultimate raids, due to the presence of standardized strategies. In addition, on some data centers there are Discord servers that coordinate guided clears or party finding. While all Ultimate raids are very difficult, ''The Weapon's Refrain'' ("UWU") is considered the most accessible ultimate raid, followed by ''The Unending Coil of Bahamut'', ''The Epic of Alexander'', and ''Futures Rewritten''. The most difficult raids are generally considered to be ''Dragonsong's Reprise'' and ''The Omega Protocol''.

[[Limited Jobs|Limited jobs]] and [[Free Trial|free trial]] players cannot participate in ultimate raids.

===Rewards===
Due to their very high difficulty, ultimate raids are meant to be prestige content that is not part of normal gear progression. Ultimate raids reward [[Raid Tokens|totems]] that can be traded at certain vendors for weapons with special particle effects. These weapons are of the same item level as the previous Savage raid tier's but contain an extra materia melding slot. Completion of ultimate raids also unlock achievements, exclusive titles, and [[Adventurer Plate]] designs. When an ultimate raid is newly-released, each party member may obtain one totem per week for completion; this restriction is lifted in the next major patch.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Alliance Raids==
'''Alliance raids''' are fought by 24 players against a sequence of bosses and mobs, similar to a large-scale [[dungeon]]. The 24 players are divided into 3 full parties of 8 players, each consisting of 1 tank, 2 healers, and 5 DPS. These are all considered normal-difficulty content.

===Participation===
Alliance raids are released in odd-numbered patches (x.1, x.3, x.5), for a total of three alliance raids per expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. For each raid series, these duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first alliance raid of an expansion is required to unlock the second raid. To participate, players who meet the average minimum item level requirement can register using Duty Finder matchmaking.

===Rewards===
Each boss encounter in an alliance raid drops treasure chests containing equipment that can be rolled on, with the final boss also rewarding exclusive [[minion]]s, [[Triple Triad Cards]], and [[orchestrion rolls]]. The equipment is meant to be "catch-up" and is the same item item level as current, non-augmented tomestone gear. The final boss also drops a guaranteed [[Raid Tokens|coin]], which can be exchanged at certain vendors for tomestone gear upgrade materials that were previously exclusive to the current Savage raids. When an Alliance raid is current, each player can obtain one piece of equipment and one coin per week.

===Additional Information===
Owing its lack of an [[item level]] sync and substantial player power creep over time, the [[Crystal Tower]] alliance raids (with the third at a lesser extent) have become tediously easy duties that are often completed with little difficulty, to the point where mechanics on several bosses are ignored or outright skipped. As a result, many guides include mechanics that players will normally not experience unless on minimum [[Item Level|item level]] mode. Owing to this, players have developed a technique to deliberately lower their item level in the Alliance Roulette, so that it would select a Crystal Tower raid by default. As a result the developers decided to implement item level restrictions for the {{questlink|dutyroulette|Duty Roulette: Alliance Raids}} in [[Patch 6.5]], as to increase its diversity.

==[[File:Chaotic Alliance Raid.png|25px|link=]] Chaotic Alliance Raids==
'''Chaotic alliance raids''' are high-difficulty 24-player alliance raids fought against a single boss from previous alliance raids. The [[difficulty]] is comparable to a first or second-floor savage raid.

===Participation===
The first chaotic alliance raid was released one week after [[patch 7.15]]. It can be unlocked by completing {{questlink|main|Dawntrail (Quest)}} and then talking to the [[Wandering Minstrel]]. To participate, players can form pre-made parties via [[Party Finder]] before queuing in [[Raid Finder]]. Unlike regular alliance raids, chaotic raids are balanced around having 3 full parties each consisting of 2 tanks, 2 healers, and 4 DPS. However, pre-made parties can queue with a minimum of 12 players, although the difficulty will not be re-scaled.

===Rewards===
The first raid drops maximum item level armor (IL 730), 2 [[mount]]s, a [[minion]], and a [[hairstyle]]. Some rewards can also be sold on the [[Market Board]]. In addition, each player will receive tokens that can be exchanged for rewards. The equipment has different [[substats]], making certain pieces best-in-slot for specific jobs.

Unlike other current raids, there are no weekly restrictions on loot.

There are two additional loot bonuses:
*'''First Time Duty Bonus''': Additional tokens will be rewarded in proportion to the number of alliance members new to the duty.
*'''Limited Time Bonus''': A randomly occurring reward bonus<ref group="fn">The spawn "rules" for the bonus window are as follows:
*The window may begin at 3:00, 9:00, 15:00, or 21:00 GMT (24-hour clock) for all data centers.
*The time period may last for 3, 6, 9, or 12 hours, which is determined randomly per data center.
*After the window ends, there will be a cooldown of minimum 24 hours before another window can occur. There will then be a chance for a bonus window to start every 6 hours.
*The maximum cooldown is 48 hours, after which the bonus window will forcibly start.
</ref> that persists for several hours. Entering the duty during this period will give improved drop rates and additional tokens upon completion.

==[[File:Adventuring Foray.png|25px|link=]] Field Operation Raids==
Field Operation Raids do not fit the standard description or categorization of other "Raids" in Final Fantasy XIV. These are related to multiple expansions' [[field operations]] and often have unique entry requirements, high player counts, and vary in [[Difficulty]] ({{questlink|eureka|The Baldesion Arsenal}} and {{questlink|bsf|Delubrum Reginae (Savage)}} are considered high-end duties). They are generally not tied to the core item level progression of your character aside from progressing [[Relic Weapon]] quests.

===Participation===
Unlock and entry to these duties are associated with their respective [[field operations]] systems and progression. Each of these raids allows the usage of Field Operation specific [[Logos Actions]] and [[Lost Actions]], that are sometimes required to progress, or provide unique benefits and power boosts to your character. Due to their unique participation requirements, and not being accessible via the [[Duty Finder]], it is not possible to enter these instances with duty finder settings such as [[Unrestricted Party]] enabled.

===Rewards===
Each of these encounters rewards are specific to their respective field operations system. They often provide materials for a [[Relic Weapon]] as well as [[achievements]], expansion-specific [[tomestones]] and unique [[mounts]].

==Item Level Sync==
Unlike dungeons, most raids do not have item level syncs, which means your item level will be synced to the maximum obtainable gear at the job level you are synced to. This over time can make raids rather trivial, especially if they have a low minimum item level compared to the max obtainable for the expansion. For example, Alexander: The Fist of the Father has a minimum item level of 170, but high level players joining from Roulettes will often be synced to only 270/275, making the fight much shorter and less healing intensive than the original experience. Players that are looking for a more engaging and balanced experience may want to consider doing certain raids in a preformed group via Party Finder with the Minimum Item Level option enabled. This will adjust the gear for all involved to provide an experience somewhat closer to the original release.

Note that Minimum Item Level will only make the content as hard as the developers designed it to be at that item level. Normal Raids - with the exception of Coils of Bahamut - will still be easily clearable, while Savage Raids can be expected to generally be extremely brutal on this setting.

==Achievements==
Raid completion is associated generally with the following [[achievements]]:

{| {{STDT|mech1}}
{{achievement table header}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons I}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons II}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons III}}

{{achievement table row|Dungeon Siege IV}}
{{achievement table row|Dungeon Master}}
{{achievement table row|Lifer I}}
{{achievement table row|Lifer II}}
{{achievement table row|Lifer III}}
|}

Specific raids will also reward certain [[Raids Achievements|achievements]] upon completion.

ArcaneToast: removing name link until the duty name is revealed in 7.2

:''See also: [[Dungeons]], [[Trials]], [[Deep Dungeon]], [[Field Operations]], [[Variant Dungeons]], [[Criterion Dungeons]]''
[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] '''Raids''' are the core of the [[endgame]], posing the greatest challenges and offering the strongest loot. Unlike dungeons or trials, current-tier raids have limitations on how much loot players can receive per week. These limitations are removed once the raid is old, to make it easier to catch up. Raids are almost always optional content for [[Main Scenario Quest]] progression (the only exception being the level 50 [[Alliance Raid]] series), although some raids are prerequisites for other optional questlines.
{{TOC limit|3}}
==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Normal Raids==
'''Normal raids''' are fought by 8 players usually against a single boss, similar to a [[trial]].<ref group="fn">There are a few exceptions to this formula. The first is {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 3}}, which is a jumping puzzle with no boss and no substantial rewards. Another exception is {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 4}}, which is a gauntlet fight with no final boss. A third exception is {{questlink|raid|Alexander - The Cuff of the Father}} (both normal and savage), which also contains a gauntlet.</ref> Older raids may have other enemies or mini-bosses before the final boss, but the single-boss format has been consistent since [[Omega: Deltascape]]. Normal raids are similar in [[difficulty]] to story-difficulty trials and can be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking. The exception is the Lv. 50 Bahamut raid series, which is closer to Savage difficulty by default.

===Participation===
Normal raids are released in sets of four duties in the x.01, x.2, and x.4 patches of an expansion, for a total of 12 duties over three raid tiers in an expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. These duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first tier is required to unlock the second tier. Players who meet the minimum item level requirement for a normal raid can queue for it through Duty Finder.

===Rewards===
Normal raids drop a variety of equipment "tokens" which can be exchanged at certain vendors for high item level gear. In addition, the final duty of a current-[[expansion]] Normal raid will grant a [[Raid Tokens|Completion Reward]], of which seven can be exchanged along with 500 of the current capped tomestones for a weapon that is 10 item levels higher than current crafted gear. In a later patch, this requirement is lowered to four of the rewarded item. When a Normal raid series is current, players may obtain one token per duty and one reward item from the final floor per week.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Savage Raids==
Each normal raid also has a higher-difficulty equivalent, called a '''savage raid''', which uses the same boss but with more difficult mechanics, more health, and higher outgoing damage. In addition, all Savage bosses have a time limit in which they must be defeated or they will wipe the party with an enrage ability. Savage encounters usually follow a gradually increasing difficulty curve, with the first two encounters usually comparable or slighty higher in difficulty to an Extreme trial, and the last two encounters being significantly more challenging, although there are exceptions to this trend. Beginning with [[Omega: Deltascape (Savage)]], the final duty of each Savage raid tier is usually split into two boss encounters, with a checkpoint in between, meaning that wiping to the second phase will reset the party to the start of that phase. However, leaving the instance and resetting will require defeating the first phase again to re-acquire the checkpoint. The exceptions are [[Eden's Gate: Sepulture (Savage)]], [[Eden's Verse: Refulgence (Savage)]], and [[AAC Light-heavyweight M4 (Savage)]], which are long singular encounters containing boss phases exclusive to the Savage version, but no checkpoint. The first phase is usually referred to as a ''[[door boss]]'' by the community.

Since Deltascape (Savage), the first Savage tier in an expansion is deliberately tuned to be easier to allow players to become accustomed to the expansion's job changes and additions, and to encourage newer players to participate in high-end raiding. The second and third tiers are then designed to be more challenging than the first.

When a savage raid is no longer new, {{buff|the echo}} [[The Echo]] will applied to all players upon entering the duty, and the strength of this buff will not increase upon wiping. Savage raids from prior expansions are typically done with an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled) to complete them more easily, which does not impact rewards. However, some [[Battle Achievements|achievements]] require completing the final encounter of a previous savage raid tier with a full party of {{BLU}} [[Blue Mage|blue mages]] with silence [[The Echo|echo]] and level sync enabled.

===Participation===
Savage raids are released 2 weeks after normal raids in the x.05 patch of an expansion, and 1 week after the normal raid tier in the x.2 and x.4 patches. They can be unlocked by completing the respective Normal raid tier and associated quests, then speaking to a certain NPC depending on the raid series. Completion of the previous tier's Savage encounters is not required to unlock the current Savage tier. Savage raids are typically too difficult to be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking, so players in most data centers opt to use [[Party Finder]] for both practice and duty completion, or form "static" raid groups with other players.

Savage raids have a higher average item level requirement than the corresponding Normal raids, with the requirement for the first floor being the same item level as the maximum item level armor in the previous patch, the second floor being 5 item levels higher, and the third and fourth floors being 10 item levels higher. Savage raids are always released with new crafted and normal raid gear that meet the minimum item level for the last floors, along with weekly-capped tomestone gear that is 10 item levels higher. Players who wish to aim for an early clear of the tier are strongly advised to acquire a full set of {{HQ}} ''[[High Quality]]'' crafted gear and fully [[Materia Melding|meld]] it with [[materia]] ("pentamelding"), although this is a costly process. For the second and third Savage tier of an expansion, the extreme trial that was released with the patch will drop weapons that are 5 item levels higher than the crafted weapon, providing a good starting point for players who wish to participate in the tier.

With the advent of [[Data Center Travel]], players looking to participate in high-end duties, especially savage and ultimate raids, have started congregating in one data center per geographic region. These are
* North America: Aether
* Europe: Light
* Japan: Mana

Players on other data centers who wish to participate in current high-end content through Party Finder may find it necessary to travel to their region's primary "raiding" data center in order to form a party in a reasonable timeframe.

===Rewards===
Savage raids drop coffers that can be used to obtain equipment 20 item levels higher than the respective normal raid tier's loot. In addition, Savage raids reward items that can be used to augment the current weekly-capped tomestone equipment to the same item level as Savage gear. The final duty of each Savage raid tier rewards weapons that are at the maximum item level and exclusive mounts. For each job, the "best-in-slot" gear for a patch usually comprises a mixture of Savage gear and augmented tomestone gear based on which pieces provide the most desirable sub-stats.

Each duty in a Savage raid tier will also reward each party member with a [[Raid Tokens|book]], of which a certain number can be exchanged for equipment coffers and upgrade materials. When a Savage raid series is current, players may obtain one book per duty per week. In addition, the number of rewards that appear upon completion and can be rolled for will depend on how many players have completed the duty for the week. If one to four party members have completed the duty for the week, fewer items will appear in the treasure coffer. If more than five party members have completed the duty for the week, the treasure coffer will not appear. Unlike Normal raids, there is no restriction on how many rewards a single player can win from loot rolls as long as a chest appears. However, once a player has completed a duty for the week and leaves the instance, they will not be able to roll for loot upon defeating the boss again, regardless of whether they rolled or won any items the first time, until the weekly reset time.

Upon registering for and completing a current Savage raid, the player's weekly progress will be updated to that point, preventing them from obtaining rewards from previous raids regardless of whether they have completed them for the week. Older tiers also do not have loot restrictions.

Example: A player has yet to complete AAC Light-heavyweight M1 (Savage) for the week. They cannot register for AAC Light-heavyweight M2 (Savage). However, they join a premade party in which the leader has completed AAC Light-heavyweight M1 (Savage) for the week and can register for AAC Light-heavyweight M2 (Savage). The player can enter AAC Light-heavyweight M2 (Savage), but upon entering, they will forfeit all rewards from AAC Light-heavyweight M1 (Savage) until the next weekly reset.

Reward eligibility is [[reset]] every Tuesday at 8:00 (GMT).
* In the event a raid is underway when reward eligibility is reset, players will still be permitted to vie for items during the upcoming week.

==[[File:Ultimate Raid.png|25px|link=]] Ultimate Raids==
Beginning with Stormblood, some raid tiers are also followed by a single '''ultimate raid''' released two weeks into the following odd-numbered major patch (i.e., x.11 or x.31). With the exception of [[Shadowbringers]], each expansion contains two ultimate raids. Ultimate raids are boss gauntlet style encounters where players encounter a series of significantly more powerful bosses from previous raids, trials, and dungeons. The final boss of an Ultimate raid is an original enemy design that was not present in earlier duties. Wiping at any point in the gauntlet will reset the encounter to the beginning. The sole exception is {{questlink|ultimateraid|Dragonsong's Reprise (Ultimate)}}, which has one checkpoint after the first phase of the encounter.

===Participation===
Ultimate raids can be unlocked by completing the fourth encounter of the Savage raid tier released in the previous patch from when the ultimate raid was released. Players must form a full party of 8 people to enter an instance; matchmaking through Duty Finder or Raid Finder is unavailable. Moreover, to mostly preserve the difficulty of ultimate raids even as newer content is released, each ultimate raid has a strict item level sync and no option to complete using an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled). However, due to job overhauls and other battle system changes, older ultimate raids are currently more forgiving than when they were first released in terms of DPS, healing, and mitigation requirements, allowing much more room for error. More recent ultimate raids are also designed to be more mechanically punishing than older raids, allowing essentially no deaths outside of very specific areas.

Newly-released ultimate raids are designed for players who have maximum item level, best-in-slot gear. Note that the item level of best-in-slot armor and accessories is 5 item levels ''lower'' than the item level sync for a newly-released ultimate raid. Two major patches after an ultimate raid is released, players may acquire gear from the newly released dungeon, which will be at the same item level as the item level sync for the Ultimate raid. Unless if an ultimate raid is from a previous expansion, it is not desirable to sync down current item level gear, because sub-stats from materia melds will not carried over. For older ultimate raids, players are free to equip any Lv. 100 gear, as the item level sync calculations will maximize the possible sub-stats. (To be precise, [[The Unending Coil of Bahamut]] requires item level 470 gear, [[The Weapon's Refrain (Ultimate)|The Weapon's Refrain]] item level 500, [[The Epic of Alexander]] item level 595, and [[Dragonsong's Reprise]] item level 725 for maximized sub-stats.<ref group="fn">Discord: Kupo Bot, !faq ultimatesync, accessed 10 February 2025

Many players choose to form or join "static" raid groups with other players to progress and complete ultimate raids. However, it is also possible to use Party Finder to clear them, especially for older ultimate raids, due to the presence of standardized strategies. In addition, on some data centers there are Discord servers that coordinate guided clears or party finding. While all Ultimate raids are very difficult, ''The Weapon's Refrain'' ("UWU") is considered the most accessible ultimate raid, followed by ''The Unending Coil of Bahamut'', ''The Epic of Alexander'', and ''Futures Rewritten''. The most difficult raids are generally considered to be ''Dragonsong's Reprise'' and ''The Omega Protocol''.

[[Limited Jobs|Limited jobs]] and [[Free Trial|free trial]] players cannot participate in ultimate raids.

===Rewards===
Due to their very high difficulty, ultimate raids are meant to be prestige content that is not part of normal gear progression. Ultimate raids reward [[Raid Tokens|totems]] that can be traded at certain vendors for weapons with special particle effects. These weapons are of the same item level as the previous Savage raid tier's but contain an extra materia melding slot. Completion of ultimate raids also unlock achievements, exclusive titles, and [[Adventurer Plate]] designs. When an ultimate raid is newly-released, each party member may obtain one totem per week for completion; this restriction is lifted in the next major patch.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Alliance Raids==
'''Alliance raids''' are fought by 24 players against a sequence of bosses and mobs, similar to a large-scale [[dungeon]]. The 24 players are divided into 3 full parties of 8 players, each consisting of 1 tank, 2 healers, and 5 DPS. These are all considered normal-difficulty content.

===Participation===
Alliance raids are released in odd-numbered patches (x.1, x.3, x.5), for a total of three alliance raids per expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. For each raid series, these duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first alliance raid of an expansion is required to unlock the second raid. To participate, players who meet the average minimum item level requirement can register using Duty Finder matchmaking.

===Rewards===
Each boss encounter in an alliance raid drops treasure chests containing equipment that can be rolled on, with the final boss also rewarding exclusive [[minion]]s, [[Triple Triad Cards]], and [[orchestrion rolls]]. The equipment is meant to be "catch-up" and is the same item item level as current, non-augmented tomestone gear. The final boss also drops a guaranteed [[Raid Tokens|coin]], which can be exchanged at certain vendors for tomestone gear upgrade materials that were previously exclusive to the current Savage raids. When an Alliance raid is current, each player can obtain one piece of equipment and one coin per week.

===Additional Information===
Owing its lack of an [[item level]] sync and substantial player power creep over time, the [[Crystal Tower]] alliance raids (with the third at a lesser extent) have become tediously easy duties that are often completed with little difficulty, to the point where mechanics on several bosses are ignored or outright skipped. As a result, many guides include mechanics that players will normally not experience unless on minimum [[Item Level|item level]] mode. Owing to this, players have developed a technique to deliberately lower their item level in the Alliance Roulette, so that it would select a Crystal Tower raid by default. As a result the developers decided to implement item level restrictions for the {{questlink|dutyroulette|Duty Roulette: Alliance Raids}} in [[Patch 6.5]], as to increase its diversity.

==[[File:Chaotic Alliance Raid.png|25px|link=]] Chaotic Alliance Raids==
'''Chaotic alliance raids''' are high-difficulty 24-player alliance raids fought against a single boss from previous alliance raids. The [[difficulty]] is comparable to a first or second-floor savage raid.

===Participation===
The first chaotic alliance raid was released one week after [[patch 7.15]]. It can be unlocked by completing {{questlink|main|Dawntrail (Quest)}} and then talking to the [[Wandering Minstrel]]. To participate, players can form pre-made parties via [[Party Finder]] before queuing in [[Raid Finder]]. Unlike regular alliance raids, chaotic raids are balanced around having 3 full parties each consisting of 2 tanks, 2 healers, and 4 DPS. However, pre-made parties can queue with a minimum of 12 players, although the difficulty will not be re-scaled.

===Rewards===
The first raid drops maximum item level armor (IL 730), 2 [[mount]]s, a [[minion]], and a [[hairstyle]]. Some rewards can also be sold on the [[Market Board]]. In addition, each player will receive tokens that can be exchanged for rewards. The equipment has different [[substats]], making certain pieces best-in-slot for specific jobs.

Unlike other current raids, there are no weekly restrictions on loot.

There are two additional loot bonuses:
*'''First Time Duty Bonus''': Additional tokens will be rewarded in proportion to the number of alliance members new to the duty.
*'''Limited Time Bonus''': A randomly occurring reward bonus<ref group="fn">The spawn "rules" for the bonus window are as follows:
*The window may begin at 3:00, 9:00, 15:00, or 21:00 GMT (24-hour clock) for all data centers.
*The time period may last for 3, 6, 9, or 12 hours, which is determined randomly per data center.
*After the window ends, there will be a cooldown of minimum 24 hours before another window can occur. There will then be a chance for a bonus window to start every 6 hours.
*The maximum cooldown is 48 hours, after which the bonus window will forcibly start.
</ref> that persists for several hours. Entering the duty during this period will give improved drop rates and additional tokens upon completion.

==[[File:Adventuring Foray.png|25px|link=]] Field Operation Raids==
Field Operation Raids do not fit the standard description or categorization of other "Raids" in Final Fantasy XIV. These are related to multiple expansions' [[field operations]] and often have unique entry requirements, high player counts, and vary in [[Difficulty]] ({{questlink|eureka|The Baldesion Arsenal}} and {{questlink|bsf|Delubrum Reginae (Savage)}} are considered high-end duties). They are generally not tied to the core item level progression of your character aside from progressing [[Relic Weapon]] quests.

===Participation===
Unlock and entry to these duties are associated with their respective [[field operations]] systems and progression. Each of these raids allows the usage of Field Operation specific [[Logos Actions]] and [[Lost Actions]], that are sometimes required to progress, or provide unique benefits and power boosts to your character. Due to their unique participation requirements, it is not possible to enter these duties with [[level sync]] disabled.

===Rewards===
Each of these encounters rewards are specific to their respective field operations system. They often provide materials for a [[Relic Weapon]] as well as [[achievements]], expansion-specific [[tomestones]] and unique [[mounts]].

==Item Level Sync==
Unlike dungeons, most raids do not have item level syncs, which means your item level will be synced to the maximum obtainable gear at the job level you are synced to. This over time can make raids rather trivial, especially if they have a low minimum item level compared to the max obtainable for the expansion. For example, Alexander: The Fist of the Father has a minimum item level of 170, but high level players joining from Roulettes will often be synced to only 270/275, making the fight much shorter and less healing intensive than the original experience. Players that are looking for a more engaging and balanced experience may want to consider doing certain raids in a preformed group via Party Finder with the Minimum Item Level option enabled. This will adjust the gear for all involved to provide an experience somewhat closer to the original release.

Note that Minimum Item Level will only make the content as hard as the developers designed it to be at that item level. Normal Raids - with the exception of Coils of Bahamut - will still be easily clearable, while Savage Raids can be expected to generally be extremely brutal on this setting.

==Achievements==
Raid completion is associated generally with the following [[achievements]]:

{| {{STDT|mech1}}
{{achievement table header}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons I}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons II}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons III}}

|}

Specific raids will also reward certain [[Raids Achievements|achievements]] upon completion.

ArcaneToast: Adding a section for the field operation raids

:''See also: [[Dungeons]], [[Trials]], [[Deep Dungeon]], [[Field Operations]], [[Variant Dungeons]], [[Criterion Dungeons]]''
[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] '''Raids''' are the core of the [[endgame]], posing the greatest challenges and offering the strongest loot. Unlike dungeons or trials, current-tier raids have limitations on how much loot players can receive per week. These limitations are removed once the raid is old, to make it easier to catch up. Raids are almost always optional content for [[Main Scenario Quest]] progression (the only exception being the level 50 [[Alliance Raid]] series), although some raids are prerequisites for other optional questlines.
{{TOC limit|3}}
==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Normal Raids==
'''Normal raids''' are fought by 8 players usually against a single boss, similar to a [[trial]].<ref group="fn">There are a few exceptions to this formula. The first is {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 3}}, which is a jumping puzzle with no boss and no substantial rewards. Another exception is {{questlink|raid|The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 4}}, which is a gauntlet fight with no final boss. A third exception is {{questlink|raid|Alexander - The Cuff of the Father}} (both normal and savage), which also contains a gauntlet.</ref> Older raids may have other enemies or mini-bosses before the final boss, but the single-boss format has been consistent since [[Omega: Deltascape]]. Normal raids are similar in [[difficulty]] to story-difficulty trials and can be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking. The exception is the Lv. 50 Bahamut raid series, which is closer to Savage difficulty by default.

===Participation===
Normal raids are released in sets of four duties in the x.01, x.2, and x.4 patches of an expansion, for a total of 12 duties over three raid tiers in an expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. These duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first tier is required to unlock the second tier. Players who meet the minimum item level requirement for a normal raid can queue for it through Duty Finder.

===Rewards===
Normal raids drop a variety of equipment "tokens" which can be exchanged at certain vendors for high item level gear. In addition, the final duty of a current-[[expansion]] Normal raid will grant a [[Raid Tokens|Completion Reward]], of which seven can be exchanged along with 500 of the current capped tomestones for a weapon that is 10 item levels higher than current crafted gear. In a later patch, this requirement is lowered to four of the rewarded item. When a Normal raid series is current, players may obtain one token per duty and one reward item from the final floor per week.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Savage Raids==
Each normal raid also has a higher-difficulty equivalent, called a '''savage raid''', which uses the same boss but with more difficult mechanics, more health, and higher outgoing damage. In addition, all Savage bosses have a time limit in which they must be defeated or they will wipe the party with an enrage ability. Savage encounters usually follow a gradually increasing difficulty curve, with the first two encounters usually comparable or slighty higher in difficulty to an Extreme trial, and the last two encounters being significantly more challenging, although there are exceptions to this trend. Beginning with [[Omega: Deltascape (Savage)]], the final duty of each Savage raid tier is usually split into two boss encounters, with a checkpoint in between, meaning that wiping to the second phase will reset the party to the start of that phase. However, leaving the instance and resetting will require defeating the first phase again to re-acquire the checkpoint. The exceptions are [[Eden's Gate: Sepulture (Savage)]], [[Eden's Verse: Refulgence (Savage)]], and [[AAC Light-heavyweight M4 (Savage)]], which are long singular encounters containing boss phases exclusive to the Savage version, but no checkpoint. The first phase is usually referred to as a ''[[door boss]]'' by the community.

Since Deltascape (Savage), the first Savage tier in an expansion is deliberately tuned to be easier to allow players to become accustomed to the expansion's job changes and additions, and to encourage newer players to participate in high-end raiding. The second and third tiers are then designed to be more challenging than the first.

When a savage raid is no longer new, {{buff|the echo}} [[The Echo]] will applied to all players upon entering the duty, and the strength of this buff will not increase upon wiping. Savage raids from prior expansions are typically done with an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled) to complete them more easily, which does not impact rewards. However, some [[Battle Achievements|achievements]] require completing the final encounter of a previous savage raid tier with a full party of {{BLU}} [[Blue Mage|blue mages]] with silence [[The Echo|echo]] and level sync enabled.

===Participation===
Savage raids are released 2 weeks after normal raids in the x.05 patch of an expansion, and 1 week after the normal raid tier in the x.2 and x.4 patches. They can be unlocked by completing the respective Normal raid tier and associated quests, then speaking to a certain NPC depending on the raid series. Completion of the previous tier's Savage encounters is not required to unlock the current Savage tier. Savage raids are typically too difficult to be completed using [[Duty Finder]] matchmaking, so players in most data centers opt to use [[Party Finder]] for both practice and duty completion, or form "static" raid groups with other players.

Savage raids have a higher average item level requirement than the corresponding Normal raids, with the requirement for the first floor being the same item level as the maximum item level armor in the previous patch, the second floor being 5 item levels higher, and the third and fourth floors being 10 item levels higher. Savage raids are always released with new crafted and normal raid gear that meet the minimum item level for the last floors, along with weekly-capped tomestone gear that is 10 item levels higher. Players who wish to aim for an early clear of the tier are strongly advised to acquire a full set of {{HQ}} ''[[High Quality]]'' crafted gear and fully [[Materia Melding|meld]] it with [[materia]] ("pentamelding"), although this is a costly process. For the second and third Savage tier of an expansion, the extreme trial that was released with the patch will drop weapons that are 5 item levels higher than the crafted weapon, providing a good starting point for players who wish to participate in the tier.

With the advent of [[Data Center Travel]], players looking to participate in high-end duties, especially savage and ultimate raids, have started congregating in one data center per geographic region. These are
* North America: Aether
* Europe: Light
* Japan: Mana

Players on other data centers who wish to participate in current high-end content through Party Finder may find it necessary to travel to their region's primary "raiding" data center in order to form a party in a reasonable timeframe.

===Rewards===
Savage raids drop coffers that can be used to obtain equipment 20 item levels higher than the respective normal raid tier's loot. In addition, Savage raids reward items that can be used to augment the current weekly-capped tomestone equipment to the same item level as Savage gear. The final duty of each Savage raid tier rewards weapons that are at the maximum item level and exclusive mounts. For each job, the "best-in-slot" gear for a patch usually comprises a mixture of Savage gear and augmented tomestone gear based on which pieces provide the most desirable sub-stats.

Each duty in a Savage raid tier will also reward each party member with a [[Raid Tokens|book]], of which a certain number can be exchanged for equipment coffers and upgrade materials. When a Savage raid series is current, players may obtain one book per duty per week. In addition, the number of rewards that appear upon completion and can be rolled for will depend on how many players have completed the duty for the week. If one to four party members have completed the duty for the week, fewer items will appear in the treasure coffer. If more than five party members have completed the duty for the week, the treasure coffer will not appear. Unlike Normal raids, there is no restriction on how many rewards a single player can win from loot rolls as long as a chest appears. However, once a player has completed a duty for the week and leaves the instance, they will not be able to roll for loot upon defeating the boss again, regardless of whether they rolled or won any items the first time, until the weekly reset time.

Upon registering for and completing a current Savage raid, the player's weekly progress will be updated to that point, preventing them from obtaining rewards from previous raids regardless of whether they have completed them for the week. Older tiers also do not have loot restrictions.

Example: A player has yet to complete AAC Light-heavyweight M1 (Savage) for the week. They cannot register for AAC Light-heavyweight M2 (Savage). However, they join a premade party in which the leader has completed AAC Light-heavyweight M1 (Savage) for the week and can register for AAC Light-heavyweight M2 (Savage). The player can enter AAC Light-heavyweight M2 (Savage), but upon entering, they will forfeit all rewards from AAC Light-heavyweight M1 (Savage) until the next weekly reset.

Reward eligibility is [[reset]] every Tuesday at 8:00 (GMT).
* In the event a raid is underway when reward eligibility is reset, players will still be permitted to vie for items during the upcoming week.

==[[File:Ultimate Raid.png|25px|link=]] Ultimate Raids==
Beginning with Stormblood, some raid tiers are also followed by a single '''ultimate raid''' released two weeks into the following odd-numbered major patch (i.e., x.11 or x.31). With the exception of [[Shadowbringers]], each expansion contains two ultimate raids. Ultimate raids are boss gauntlet style encounters where players encounter a series of significantly more powerful bosses from previous raids, trials, and dungeons. The final boss of an Ultimate raid is an original enemy design that was not present in earlier duties. Wiping at any point in the gauntlet will reset the encounter to the beginning. The sole exception is {{questlink|ultimateraid|Dragonsong's Reprise (Ultimate)}}, which has one checkpoint after the first phase of the encounter.

===Participation===
Ultimate raids can be unlocked by completing the fourth encounter of the Savage raid tier released in the previous patch from when the ultimate raid was released. Players must form a full party of 8 people to enter an instance; matchmaking through Duty Finder or Raid Finder is unavailable. Moreover, to mostly preserve the difficulty of ultimate raids even as newer content is released, each ultimate raid has a strict item level sync and no option to complete using an [[Unrestricted Party]] (i.e., with level sync disabled). However, due to job overhauls and other battle system changes, older ultimate raids are currently more forgiving than when they were first released in terms of DPS, healing, and mitigation requirements, allowing much more room for error. More recent ultimate raids are also designed to be more mechanically punishing than older raids, allowing essentially no deaths outside of very specific areas.

Newly-released ultimate raids are designed for players who have maximum item level, best-in-slot gear. Note that the item level of best-in-slot armor and accessories is 5 item levels ''lower'' than the item level sync for a newly-released ultimate raid. Two major patches after an ultimate raid is released, players may acquire gear from the newly released dungeon, which will be at the same item level as the item level sync for the Ultimate raid. Unless if an ultimate raid is from a previous expansion, it is not desirable to sync down current item level gear, because sub-stats from materia melds will not carried over. For older ultimate raids, players are free to equip any Lv. 100 gear, as the item level sync calculations will maximize the possible sub-stats. (To be precise, [[The Unending Coil of Bahamut]] requires item level 470 gear, [[The Weapon's Refrain (Ultimate)|The Weapon's Refrain]] item level 500, [[The Epic of Alexander]] item level 595, and [[Dragonsong's Reprise]] item level 725 for maximized sub-stats.<ref group="fn">Discord: Kupo Bot, !faq ultimatesync, accessed 10 February 2025

Many players choose to form or join "static" raid groups with other players to progress and complete ultimate raids. However, it is also possible to use Party Finder to clear them, especially for older ultimate raids, due to the presence of standardized strategies. In addition, on some data centers there are Discord servers that coordinate guided clears or party finding. While all Ultimate raids are very difficult, ''The Weapon's Refrain'' ("UWU") is considered the most accessible ultimate raid, followed by ''The Unending Coil of Bahamut'', ''The Epic of Alexander'', and ''Futures Rewritten''. The most difficult raids are generally considered to be ''Dragonsong's Reprise'' and ''The Omega Protocol''.

[[Limited Jobs|Limited jobs]] and [[Free Trial|free trial]] players cannot participate in ultimate raids.

===Rewards===
Due to their very high difficulty, ultimate raids are meant to be prestige content that is not part of normal gear progression. Ultimate raids reward [[Raid Tokens|totems]] that can be traded at certain vendors for weapons with special particle effects. These weapons are of the same item level as the previous Savage raid tier's but contain an extra materia melding slot. Completion of ultimate raids also unlock achievements, exclusive titles, and [[Adventurer Plate]] designs. When an ultimate raid is newly-released, each party member may obtain one totem per week for completion; this restriction is lifted in the next major patch.

==[[File:Raid.png|25px|link=]] Alliance Raids==
'''Alliance raids''' are fought by 24 players against a sequence of bosses and mobs, similar to a large-scale [[dungeon]]. The 24 players are divided into 3 full parties of 8 players, each consisting of 1 tank, 2 healers, and 5 DPS. These are all considered normal-difficulty content.

===Participation===
Alliance raids are released in odd-numbered patches (x.1, x.3, x.5), for a total of three alliance raids per expansion. They can be unlocked by completing certain blue unlock quests, which become accessible after completing the Main Scenario Quests in the base (x.0) expansion. For each raid series, these duties must be completed in sequence, e.g, completion of the first alliance raid of an expansion is required to unlock the second raid. To participate, players who meet the average minimum item level requirement can register using Duty Finder matchmaking.

===Rewards===
Each boss encounter in an alliance raid drops treasure chests containing equipment that can be rolled on, with the final boss also rewarding exclusive [[minion]]s, [[Triple Triad Cards]], and [[orchestrion rolls]]. The equipment is meant to be "catch-up" and is the same item item level as current, non-augmented tomestone gear. The final boss also drops a guaranteed [[Raid Tokens|coin]], which can be exchanged at certain vendors for tomestone gear upgrade materials that were previously exclusive to the current Savage raids. When an Alliance raid is current, each player can obtain one piece of equipment and one coin per week.

===Additional Information===
Owing its lack of an [[item level]] sync and substantial player power creep over time, the [[Crystal Tower]] alliance raids (with the third at a lesser extent) have become tediously easy duties that are often completed with little difficulty, to the point where mechanics on several bosses are ignored or outright skipped. As a result, many guides include mechanics that players will normally not experience unless on minimum [[Item Level|item level]] mode. Owing to this, players have developed a technique to deliberately lower their item level in the Alliance Roulette, so that it would select a Crystal Tower raid by default. As a result the developers decided to implement item level restrictions for the {{questlink|dutyroulette|Duty Roulette: Alliance Raids}} in [[Patch 6.5]], as to increase its diversity.

==[[File:Chaotic Alliance Raid.png|25px|link=]] Chaotic Alliance Raids==
'''Chaotic alliance raids''' are high-difficulty 24-player alliance raids fought against a single boss from previous alliance raids. The [[difficulty]] is comparable to a first or second-floor savage raid.

===Participation===
The first chaotic alliance raid was released one week after [[patch 7.15]]. It can be unlocked by completing {{questlink|main|Dawntrail (Quest)}} and then talking to the [[Wandering Minstrel]]. To participate, players can form pre-made parties via [[Party Finder]] before queuing in [[Raid Finder]]. Unlike regular alliance raids, chaotic raids are balanced around having 3 full parties each consisting of 2 tanks, 2 healers, and 4 DPS. However, pre-made parties can queue with a minimum of 12 players, although the difficulty will not be re-scaled.

===Rewards===
The first raid drops maximum item level armor (IL 730), 2 [[mount]]s, a [[minion]], and a [[hairstyle]]. Some rewards can also be sold on the [[Market Board]]. In addition, each player will receive tokens that can be exchanged for rewards. The equipment has different [[substats]], making certain pieces best-in-slot for specific jobs.

Unlike other current raids, there are no weekly restrictions on loot.

There are two additional loot bonuses:
*'''First Time Duty Bonus''': Additional tokens will be rewarded in proportion to the number of alliance members new to the duty.
*'''Limited Time Bonus''': A randomly occurring reward bonus<ref group="fn">The spawn "rules" for the bonus window are as follows:
*The window may begin at 3:00, 9:00, 15:00, or 21:00 GMT (24-hour clock) for all data centers.
*The time period may last for 3, 6, 9, or 12 hours, which is determined randomly per data center.
*After the window ends, there will be a cooldown of minimum 24 hours before another window can occur. There will then be a chance for a bonus window to start every 6 hours.
*The maximum cooldown is 48 hours, after which the bonus window will forcibly start.
</ref> that persists for several hours. Entering the duty during this period will give improved drop rates and additional tokens upon completion.

==[[File:Adventuring Foray.png|25px|link=]] Field Operation Raids==
Field Operation Raids don't fit the standard description or categorization of other "Raids" in Final Fantasy XIV. These are related to multiple expansions [[field operations]] and often have unique entry requirements, high player counts, and vary in [[Difficulty]] ({{questlink|eureka|The Baldesion Arsenal}} and {{questlink|bsf|Delubrum Reginae (Savage)}} are considered high-end duties). They are generally not tied to the core item level progression of your character aside from progressing [[Relic Weapon]] quests.

===Participation===
Unlock and entry to these duties are associated with their respective [[field operations]] systems and progression. Each of these raids allows the usage of Field Operation specific [[Logos Actions]] and [[Lost Actions]], that are sometimes required to progress, or provide unique benefits and power boosts to your character. Due to their unique participation requirements, it is not possible to enter these duties with [[level sync]] disabled.

===Rewards===
Each of these encounters rewards are specific to their respective field operations system. They often provide materials for a [[Relic Weapon]] as well as [[achievements]], expansion-specific [[tomestones]] and unique [[mounts]].

==Item Level Sync==
Unlike dungeons, most raids do not have item level syncs, which means your item level will be synced to the maximum obtainable gear at the job level you are synced to. This over time can make raids rather trivial, especially if they have a low minimum item level compared to the max obtainable for the expansion. For example, Alexander: The Fist of the Father has a minimum item level of 170, but high level players joining from Roulettes will often be synced to only 270/275, making the fight much shorter and less healing intensive than the original experience. Players that are looking for a more engaging and balanced experience may want to consider doing certain raids in a preformed group via Party Finder with the Minimum Item Level option enabled. This will adjust the gear for all involved to provide an experience somewhat closer to the original release.

Note that Minimum Item Level will only make the content as hard as the developers designed it to be at that item level. Normal Raids - with the exception of Coils of Bahamut - will still be easily clearable, while Savage Raids can be expected to generally be extremely brutal on this setting.

==Achievements==
Raid completion is associated generally with the following [[achievements]]:

{| {{STDT|mech1}}
{{achievement table header}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons I}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons II}}
{{achievement table row|To the Dungeons III}}

|}

Specific raids will also reward certain [[Raids Achievements|achievements]] upon completion.

==Trivia==
*This is the first ultimate raid to be revealed in a Fan Festival prior to an expansion release, instead of a Live Letter prior to a major patch.
*This is also the first ultimate raid to be referenced in the key art of a major patch.
*The theme of this raid breaks the existing pattern of prior ultimate raids (8-man raid > main story > 8 man raid > main story, etc.) because the prior ultimate raid, {{questlink|uraid|The Omega Protocol (Ultimate)}} was also based on a raid series. An ultimate raid based on the ''Stormblood'' main story was apparently skipped.
*This ultimate is named after Shadowbringers [[Patch 5.4]] "Futures Rewritten", which introduced the final tier of the [[Eden]] raid series the ultimate is based off.

==Steps==
*Deliver the phial of mysterious liquid to the diminutive gladiator on the Steps of Nald.

*Deliver the leather sack of coin to the medicine merchant.

==Journal==
*The medicine merchant leers at you, his smile unnaturally wide.

*A medicine merchant of dubious repute offers you coin in exchange for your services as a courier. Before you know it, a phial of precious liquid is in your hands, and the merchant's grin has taken on a hungry, expectant quality. Best to make your delivery and get this over with.

*The Lalafellin gladiator receives you with unadulterated joy, babbling about the alleged transformational wonders of this medicine. He hands you a heavy sack of coin, making clear the reason for the merchant's wolfish grin─as well as the potential repercussions should the payment be found lacking.

*The medicine merchant receives his payment with satisfaction and is readying your reward when he notices a burly Hyuran gladiator waving in your direction. Presumably his potion worked wonders─yet he denies any knowledge of the gladiator or his concoction's efficacy, urging you to try it for yourself instead. The blue phial winks up at you from your palm as you consider the endless possibilities that await...

[[File:Fantasia image1.png|right]]
A [[Fantasia]] is a [[medicine|potion]] [[item]] that, after consumption, grants the player a single opportunity to change the appearance of their character beyond what is available at the [[Aesthetician]]. Players will be re-directed to the character creation screen when they next log-in to Final Fantasy XIV, where they can change any aspect of their character (including their [[race]]) except the name, starting city, and server. [https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/option_service/character_renaming_service/ Name changes] and [https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/option_service/world_transfer_service/population_balancing/ home server transfers] are available as separate paid services. ([[World Visit System]] exists for temporary travel cross-world with restrictions.)

{{onlinestore|10}} x Phial of Fantasia
{{onlinestore|28}} x Three Phials of Fantasia
{{onlinestore|45}} x Five Phials of Fantasia

==Used For==
Allows for the re-customization of a player's character after use.
After consuming the Fantasia, go to an inn room in any of the major cities and strip all gear off your character except your main-hand weapon/tool, then log out. Next time you log in you will be given the option to recustomize your character.
※ You do not have to recustomize your character immediately, you can save it for later. Even if you are in the process of recustomizing, if you back out and cancel, the option will not disappear until you finalize your recustomization.

{{see also|Allagan Tomestones|Endgame Gear Guide|Guide to Spending Poetics}}
{{Tomestone|poetics}} [[Allagan Tomestone of Poetics]] is a type of [[Allagan Tomestones]] introduced in [[patch 2.4]]. Poetics have become the catch-all currency for any previously discontinued [[Allagan Tomestones]]. As such, Poetics will exist indefinitely and not be removed. They mainly drop from level 50/60/70/80 [[dungeons]], [[trials]] or [[raid]]s. Other minor sources include [[The Hunt]], [[Tribal Quests]], [[Adventuring Forays]] and [[Deep Dungeon]]s. As an overall rule they are dropped in content only from prior expansions which was also previously endgame or daily content during those expansions (in other words, current expansion content nor levelling content do not count for Poetics drops).

* Players can carry a maximum of '''<big>2,000</big>''' Allagan Tomestones of Poetics.
* Players can only receive Allagan Tomestones of Poetics after reaching level 50 with at least one class or job.
* Each [[expansion]]'s vendors have different [[Main Scenario Quests|Main Scenario Quest]] unlock requirements. See the information listed below and their individual vendor pages for more information.

==Uses==
{{Tomestone|poetics}} [[Allagan Tomestone of Poetics]] are used to purchase augmented equipment sets, [[Materials|crafting ingredients]], [[Minions]], and [[Orchestrion Roll]]s after each expansion's final [[Main Scenario Quest]] in the base (patch x.0) expansion.

The strongest augmented equipment sets available for Poetics in each expansion are:
#Level 50 [[Augmented Ironworks Armor]], [[Augmented Ironworks Accessories|Accessories]], and [[Augmented Ironworks Magitek Weapons|Weapons]] (Item level 130) from [[Auriana]] in [[Mor Dhona]] (X:22.7 Y:6.7) and from [[Sundry Splendors]] Representatives in [[Rowena's Representative (Limsa Lominsa)|Limsa Lominsa]], [[Rowena's Representative (New Gridania)|Gridania]], and [[Rowena's Representative (Ul'dah)|Ul'dah]]. This does ''not'' require completion of the final MSQ quest ({{questlink|mainscenario|The Ultimate Weapon}}) and can purchased from Auriana after reaching Lv. 50 and unlocking the ability to earn Poetics. Note that Rowena's Representatives, the other vendors, requires completion of the final quest for them to appear.
#Level 60 [[Augmented Shire Armor]], [[Augmented Shire Accessories|Accessories]], and [[Augmented Shire Weapons|Weapons]] (Item level 270) from [[Hismena]] in [[Idyllshire]] (X:5.8 Y:5.3) and from [[Rowena's Representative (Foundation)|Rowena's Representative]] in [[Ishgard]]. This does ''not'' require completion of the final MSQ quest ({{questlink|mainscenario|Heavensward (Quest)}}) and can purchased from Hismena upon reaching Idyllshire during the Lv. 58 quest {{questlink|mainscenario|A Great New Nation}}. Note that Rowena's Representative, the other vendor, requires completion of the final quest for them to appear.
#Level 70 [[Augmented Scaevan Armor]], [[Augmented Scaevan Accessories|Accessories]], and [[Augmented Scaevan Magitek Weapons|Weapons]] (Item level 400) from [[Enna]] in [[Rhalgr's Reach]] (X:13.8 Y:11.6) and from [[Rowena's Representative (Kugane)|Rowena's Representative]] in [[Kugane]]. Unlike earlier sets, ''both vendors'' are unlocked after completing {{questlink|mainscenario|Stormblood (Quest)}}.
#Level 80 [[Augmented Cryptlurker Armor]], [[Augmented Cryptlurker Accessories|Accessories]], and [[Augmented Cryptlurker Weapons|Weapons]] (Item level 530) from [[Aymark]] in [[Eulmore]] (X:10.2 Y:11.8) and from [[Mowen's Merchant (The Crystarium)|Mowen's Merchant]] in [[the Crystarium]]. Both vendors are unlocked after completing {{questlink|mainscenario|Shadowbringers (Quest)}}.
Additional equipment sets are also available for purchase, but these are weaker and should only be used for [[glamour]] purposes.
