Diving into the underwater world of Final Fantasy XIV becomes even more thrilling with the Free Company (FC) submarine, introduced in the Stormblood expansion. Here's a comprehensive guide to unlocking and utilizing your FC submarine, ensuring you can explore the depths with ease.
To begin your underwater adventure, you must be a member of a Free Company. For newer FCs, reaching rank 6 is crucial as it unlocks access to vendors where you can purchase Ceruleum Tanks, essential for your submersible. Achieving this rank is straightforward; simply engage in in-game activities like dungeon runs, leveling up, crafting, gathering, and turn-ins.
Next, head to the Company Workshop in your FC house and interact with the schematic board to unlock the submersible recipe. After gathering all necessary materials, the recipe will be added to your FC crafting log, allowing you to craft the submersible.
But your journey doesn't end there. You'll need Dive Credits to embark on subaquatic voyages. These can be purchased from Resident Caretaker NPCs in the following housing districts:
Remember, you must be at FC rank 6 to buy these credits, which cost 10,000 Company Credits each. Once you have your Dive Credits, register your submersible at the voyage control panel in the Company Workshop.
