Unlocking the FFXIV Free Company Submarine: A Comprehensive Guide

Want to explore the underwater world of Final Fantasy XIV in style? This guide details everything you need to know about acquiring and utilizing your Free Company's submarine. While underwater diving is possible from Stormblood onwards, a submarine offers a far more expansive and rewarding experience.

Obtaining Your FC Submarine

First, ensure your Free Company (FC) exists and ideally has reached rank 6. This rank unlocks access to the necessary vendors for purchasing Ceruleum Tanks. Reaching rank 6 is relatively straightforward; encourage your FC members to participate in various in-game activities such as dungeons, leveling, crafting, and gathering.

Once at rank 6, navigate to your FC house's Company Workshop and interact with the schematic board. This will provide you with the submersible recipe. Gather the required materials, and the submersible will be added to your FC crafting log, ready for construction.

Dive Credits and Registration

To embark on underwater voyages, you'll need Dive Credits. These are purchased from Resident Caretaker NPCs located in the following housing districts (access requires FC rank 6 and 10,000 Company Credits per credit):

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

Finally, register your crafted submersible via the voyage control panel within the Company Workshop.
