Duty Roulette in the Duty Finder

Duty Roulette is a feature for the Duty Finder first introduced in the patch 2.1. Duty Roulette allows the player to participate in randomized duties. Since patch 2.1, various additional roulette modes have been added or changed to reflect the changing state of the game.

Duty Roulette is divided into several categories: Expert, High-level Dungeons, Leveling, Trials, Main Scenario, Guildhests, Normal Raids, Alliance Raids, Mentor, and Frontline.

Players must use the default Duty Finder settings to queue for a Duty Roulette, with the exception of "Join Party in Progress" and "Limited Leveling Roulette", which are allowed to be enabled. If role requirements are met, Trials, Normal Raids and Alliance Raids roulettes allow one to eight players to queue as a group, and all other roulettes allow one to four players to queue as a group. Players must queue alone for Mentor roulette.

Rewards

The Duty Roulette offers a daily reward that give the players a combination of experience, Grand Company Seals, Cracked Novaclusters, Cracked Prismaticlusters, and Gil, depending on the type of duty, your job depending on what is currently needed, and the level of job when entering the queue. The type of Allagan Tomestones available for each roulette changes with even-numbered major patches (.0 .2 and .4).

Duty Roulette: Expert

Duty complete check mark (added in patch 3.5)

Duty Roulette: Expert places the player into one of the newest light party dungeons that are at the current level cap. Dungeons are added and removed to this roulette as the game is updated; only dungeons released in the current patch and last major patch are in this roulette. There will always be at least two dungeons in total. This roulette will only become available after unlocking and completing all of the dungeons in the roulette. You can verify which duties have been completed with a green check mark at the top right of the duty image (see screenshot).

Players must also have an average item level of 690 or greater to register.

Duty Roulette: Expert currently consists of the following dungeons:

Duty Roulette: High-level Dungeons

Duty Roulette: High-level Dungeons will put the player into a random level 50, level 60, level 70, level 80, or level 90 light party dungeon. These are dungeons at the level caps of previous expansions in FFXIV. As of patch 3.1, experience is now also awarded on the defeat of bosses and for completion of the duty if the player is not at level cap, and with patch 4.0, access to this Duty Roulette requires unlocking a minimum of 2 of the included dungeons.

Players must also have an average item level of 45 or greater to register.

The following dungeons make up the High-level Dungeons Duty Roulette:

Level 50 Dungeons

Level 60 Dungeons

Level 70 Dungeons

Level 80 Dungeons

Level 90 Dungeons

Duty Roulette: Leveling

The Duty Roulette: Leveling will put the player into a random light party dungeon or light party trial that the player has unlocked which are not part of the current or a historical level cap (X0). Level 16 is the minimum level to use Duty Roulette: Leveling.

To unlock Duty Roulette: Leveling players must have completed both Sastasha and The Tam-Tara Deepcroft dungeons in the A Realm Reborn Main Scenario.

The daily reward for Duty Roulette depends on your character's level at the time of signing up. Players not at level cap will receive experience points along with Company Seals and Gil. These players will also receive additional experience based on the difference between their actual level and the level of the dungeon or trial completed, with a further amount given based on the character's actual level.

Players who are at the level cap will receive a daily amount of Allagan Tomestones. For those whose level cap is 70 (i.e. free trial or Starter Edition players), Allagan Tomestone of Poetics are awarded.

Duty Roulette: Main Scenario

Duty Roulette: Main Scenario places players into one of three duties relating to the finale of A Realm Reborn:

Dungeons

Trials

Unlocking all three duties is necessary to unlock this roulette. Characters must be level 50 and have an average item level of 42 to join. Cutscenes (except for post-final boss cutscenes) cannot be skipped in these duties.

Historical

Despite what the "Main Scenario" name implies, this roulette exists solely as a result of historical Main Scenario Quest design choices in A Realm Reborn. At the time of the roulette's introduction in Patch 2.1, Castrum Meridianum and The Praetorium were the only eight-player dungeons in the game. Unlike later expansions, which separated the penultimate dungeon and trial into their own distinct duties, these dungeons combined multiple story elements into a single experience.

Conflicts between players who wished to view all the cutscenes and players who wished to complete the duties as fast as possible led to the introduction of unskippable cutscenes for each duty in Patch 4.2. Due to the length of these duties, often exceeding 30 to 40 minutes, players began referring to this roulette as the "Netflix roulette." Rewards were increased to compensate for the extended duty times. This also led to the side effect of being unable to give a response to the Gaius speech, though Gaius's response remained the same. In Patch 6.3, Gaius's response was changed to the one for the ellipses option, which removes his remark "how very glib!", as that would imply the player had said a response.

In Patch 6.1, the following reworks to the dungeons in this roulette were done for quality of life purposes and Duty Support compatibility:

Dungeon Castrum Meridianum:

  • Castrum Meridianum was retooled into a 4-player dungeon.
  • The dungeon was drastically shortened and simplified.
    • Players no longer sabotage a ceruleum fuel line, avoid being spotted by spotlights, fight an enhanced Magitek Colossus with Cid, or down an imperial aircraft with anti-air cannons. Due to this, only one tower is destroyed on screen, as opposed to three.
    • The final boss fight was completely reworked: the initial phase of destroying the boss's magitek armor mount with cannons was removed, the boss no longer summons adds, and the boss has several more moves, including AoEs, prioximity markers, an arena-wide attack, and a tankbuster.

Dungeon The Praetorium:

  • The Praetorium was retooled into a 4-player dungeon ending with the Gaius fight.
    • The Gaius fight increased in difficulty with the addition of a DPS check, tankbuster, and charge meter.
  • Several sections, mostly trash mob pulls, were removed.

Trial The Porta Decumana

  • The Ultima Weapon was moved from The Praetorium to the newly created 4-player trial The Porta Decumana, and Lahabrea was made into a solo duty.
    • Certain story elements in the Ultima Weapon fight (specifically, parts involving the primals' essence in the first phase) were also adjusted to better align with lore introduced in later expansions.

Duty Roulette: Guildhests

Duty Roulette: Guildhests places the player into a random guildhest the player has unlocked. Players can begin to participate in this Duty Roulette at level 10 or higher. The Roulette unlocks automatically when you unlock at least two Guildhests.
Higher level guildhests are unlocked when players complete the previous set and are at least the same level as the next set, in increments of 5 levels until level 40.

Duty Roulette: Normal Raids

Added in patch 4.3, an 8-man normal-mode raid will be selected at random from among those you have unlocked.
This notably does NOT include The Coils of Bahamut, owing to its difficulty level closer to Savage-tier raids.

Duty Roulette: Alliance Raids

Duty Roulette: Alliance Raids places the player into one of the 24-player alliance raids. It is available once at least two such raids have been unlocked.

Raid Level Unlocking Questline
Alliance Raid The Labyrinth of the Ancients 50 Feature QuestCrystal Tower
Alliance Raid Syrcus Tower
Alliance Raid The World of Darkness
Alliance Raid The Void Ark 60 Feature QuestShadow of Mhach
Alliance Raid The Weeping City of Mhach
Alliance Raid Dun Scaith
Alliance Raid The Royal City of Rabanastre 70 Feature QuestReturn to Ivalice
Alliance Raid The Ridorana Lighthouse
Alliance Raid The Orbonne Monastery
Alliance Raid The Copied Factory 80 Feature QuestYoRHa: Dark Apocalypse
Alliance Raid The Puppets' Bunker
Alliance Raid The Tower at Paradigm's Breach
Alliance Raid Aglaia 90 Feature QuestMyths of the Realm
Alliance Raid Euphrosyne
Alliance Raid Thaleia

The minimum item level (IL) required to register is equal to the highest minimum IL of the alliance raids that the player has unlocked. For example, if the player has unlocked Alliance Raid The Labyrinth of the Ancients (min IL 50), Alliance Raid Syrcus Tower (min IL 70), Alliance Raid The World of Darkness (min IL 90), and Alliance Raid The Royal City of Rabanastre (min IL 305), the minimum IL to queue is 305.

Historical

Due to its lack of an item level sync, the Crystal Tower series of alliance raids (the third to a lesser extent) have become tediously easy duties that are often completed quickly with little difficulty, to the point where mechanics on several bosses are ignored or skipped. As a result, guides include mechanics that players will normally not experience unless on Minimum Item Level mode. Because of this, players often deliberately lowered their item level in the Alliance Raid Roulette so that later raids would be locked in order to ensure Crystal Tower would be selected.

In response to this behavior, item level restrictions for the Duty Roulette Duty Roulette: Alliance Raids were introduced in Patch 6.5 to increase the chances of selecting alliance raids from other expansions. These were originally based on the level of the player's current class when they queued:

  • Level 50-59: IL 70
  • Level 60-69: IL 175
  • Level 70-79: IL 305
  • Level 80-89: IL 435
  • Level 90: IL 565

However, the Patch 6.5 system was flawed, as it still allowed locking out duties. A level 75 player with all three of the Return to Ivalice raids unlocked could lock out the latter two duties by wearing a combination of gear that ensured an item level between 305 (the minimum item level of The Royal City of Rabanastre) and 335 (the minimum item level of The Ridorana Lighthouse). Moreover, due to the abundance of EXP provided by the Main Scenario Quests and other activities, newer players may become "overleveled" and no longer meet the IL requirements for queuing for this roulette, even if they have yet to unlock higher-level raids.

In patch 7.0, the item level restrictions were changed so that players must match the highest minimum item level of any alliance raids that the player can enter in their current class or job at the time of queueing. Extending the previous example: if a level 70 player has only unlocked The Royal City of Rabanastre and not the latter two duties, then they need to queue with an item level of at least 305. If they have unlocked all three duties, then they need to queue with an item level of at least 365.

Duty Roulette: Mentor

See also: Mentor System

Introduced in patch 3.2, Mentor Roulette allows mentors to join duties that are struggling to find members. This roulette does not necessarily prioritize matching with players who are new to a duty. Rather, it prioritizes queues that have been waiting the longest for a match. Players can earn exclusive achievements from clearing duties using this roulette.

As of Patch 7.1, players using this Roulette must be level 100 and have at least an average item level of 695. Similar to Duty Roulette: Expert, the required level and item level increase with the release of new content. Players also have to be qualified as Battle Mentors. Unlike other roulettes, Duty Roulette: Mentor only allows solo queuing. Players who queue into a duty through Duty Roulette: Mentor will have the Battle Mentor icon Battle mentor status icon1.png displayed next to their name even if they previously had it disabled.

To access the roulette, players must clear the following content. This is essentially everything except (Extreme)s from the current expansion, (Savage)s, (Ultimate)s, and The Coils of Bahamut. In other words, everything that is listed in all the previous roulettes may appear, plus all (Extreme) trials from previous expansions.

Dungeons

Guildhests

Trials

Raids

Daily Challenge: Frontline

Daily Challenge: Frontline places the player into one of the Frontline PvP maps. As there is only one Frontline map available each day, it is not truly a roulette, but grants daily rewards in a similar fashion. Players must be equipped with a Soul Crystal to enter this challenge.

Possible duties in this challenge:
