If a squadron member's glamour is not set by the player, then they will periodically change their equipped gear depending on their current class and level. If a squad member's class is changed, then they will automatically switch to wearing gear for the target class. | |||
However, some squad members have a unique outfit - for example, [[Raelthota]] wears an outfit consisting of gear pieces that have conflicting class requirements. Squad members with unique outfits will not change their outfit as they level up, nor when their class is changed (but they will still change their weapon as they level up). | |||

“The Grand Companies are seeking adventurers to take charge of a new special forces initiative. Assume the role of squadron leader to train and command fledgling soldiers looking to rise up in the ranks.
Adventurer Squadrons are a feature introduced in Patch 3.4 that allows players to take direct command of soldiers in their respective Grand Companies. After assembling a sufficient number of NPC recruits, players can deploy a squadron of soldiers on special missions, reaping rich rewards upon their successful return.
Requirements
To unlock Adventurer Squadrons, players must obtain Second Lieutenant rank with their Grand Company.
If you change your Grand Company you will still keep your current Adventurer Squadron members but will need to obtain Second Lieutenant rank with the new Grand Company before being able to do any actions with them.
The Maelstrom
- Quest: Squadron and Commander (Maelstrom)
- Level Requirement: Disciples War or Magic Level 47
- Location: Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks (X:13.1, Y:12.7)
- NPC: Storm Personnel Officer
- Prerequisite: Rising to the Challenge
The Order of the Twin Adder
- Quest: Squadron and Commander (Twin Adder)
- Level Requirement: Disciples War or Magic Level 47

- Location: Ul'dah - Steps of Nald (X:8.3, Y:9.1)
- NPC: Flame Personnel Officer
- Prerequisite: Rising to the Challenge
Reasons for Enlistment
Each Reason for Enlistment belongs to one or more Challenge Log categories. You can unlock different Recruits by completing different Challenge Log categories. Note that the Gold Saucer category is a wildcard that is able to unlock all recruits of one of each race's clans.
Reason for Enlistment | Challenge Log Category |
---|---|
I wish to serve under an officer who can balance work and play. | Gold Saucer |
I was inspired by your countless deeds of heroism. | Dungeons |
To serve both my Grand Company and my fellow Eorzeans as bravely as you do. | Guildhests, Levequests, Grand Company |
To challenge the limits of my abilities as you challenge yours. | PvP |
I wish to emulate your calm and resourcefulness in the face of chaos. | FATEs |
I wish to serve under an officer whose hands can create as well as destroy. | Disciples of the Hand |
I would follow a commander who appreciates the blessings of nature | Disciples of the Land, Treasure Hunt |
Managing Your Squadron
1. Recruit Squadron Members
A squadron cannot be formed until you have at least four members. This can be accomplished by completing objectives in your Challenge Log, which will attract new recruits to join your squadron.
- Squadron members are unlocked after completing individual challenges in the challenge log. This is entirely random, though you can eventually obtain Squadron Enlistment Manuals from missions and for GC seals once you rank up to First Lieutenant that will increase the odds of obtaining a new recruit from challenge log completions. All enlistment papers received will be delivered to your desk inside the squadron barracks.
When a potential recruit piques your interest, select Question when viewing their enlistment papers to call them into the barracks and view their profile. If they are to your satisfaction, you can then recruit them to join your squadron.
The barracks has room for eight soldiers. If you have reached this limit and wish to enlist new recruits, you must first discharge one of the existing squadron members.
You may also choose to postpone a potential recruit's enlistment or dismiss them when reviewing their papers. Please note that if you postpone enlistment, you cannot review the next application until you choose to accept or dismiss the current applicant.
2. Train Your Recruits
After assembling your first squadron, they must undertake the introductory mission "City Patrol." After successfully completing this mission, they may undertake training courses posted on the regimen board. Training courses will provide increases to the squadron's overall physical, mental, and tactical abilities. The focus on which attribute is improved varies from course to course, and you are free to concentrate on the areas in which you wish your squadron to excel. The training consists of A) one stat to gain 40 while sacrificing 20 of the other two stats, B) two stats gaining 20 while sacrificing 40 of the last, or C) No stat bonuses (used for leveling your units without impacting their stats).
Each training course takes 1 hour to complete (Earth time). When a training course is complete, all recruits present in the barracks will receive experience points, and the squadron's overall attributes will increase.
- Recruits can undertake training courses up to three times a day.
The training courses always reset at 8 p.m. GMT. The following list converts that for several time-zones and their respective daylight savings times (where applicable), though it is not all-encompassing.
Time Zone | U.S. Pacific | U.S. Eastern | Central Europe | Japan | Australia Eastern |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Standard Time | 12 p.m. | 3 p.m. | 9 p.m. | 5 a.m. | 6 a.m. |
Daylight Savings Time | 1 p.m. | 4 p.m. | 10 p.m. | — | 7 a.m. |
3. Deploy Squadrons on Missions
When your squadron is amply prepared, speak with the squadron sergeant to deploy them on a mission. Be advised that deploying your squadron requires an expenditure of company seals, with costs increasing as mission difficulty increases.
Furthermore, each mission has a minimum level requirement. At least one member of the squadron must meet this requirement to proceed. The normal 1 Tank, 1 Healer, 2 DPS composition isn't required.
There are also Command Missions, where you deploy yourself with 3 squad members. You must meet the normal role requirements for a dungeon when doing so.
4. Wait for Your Squadron to Return
Missions require 18 hours (Earth time) to complete. The time remaining until a mission is completed can be viewed by opening the Timers interface located under Duty in the main menu.
- Each Trainee (rank 1) or Routine (rank 2) mission can be completed once per week.
- Only one Priority (rank 3) mission can be completed per week.
The weekly reset occurs every Tuesday at 8 a.m. GMT. The following list converts that for several time-zones and their respective daylight savings times (where applicable), though it is not all-encompassing.
Time Zone | U.S. Pacific | U.S. Eastern | Central Europe | Japan | Australia Eastern |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Standard Time | 12 a.m. | 3 a.m. | 9 a.m. | 5 p.m. | 6 p.m. |
Daylight Savings Time | 1 a.m. | 4 a.m. | 10 a.m. | — | 7 p.m. |
5. Review the Squadron's Mission Report
When the squadron returns from a mission, you can speak with the squadron sergeant to review a mission debriefing outlining squadron performance.
The mission is a success
Squadron members will receive experience points based on the mission's difficulty. There is also a chance squadron members will exhibit a preference for a certain squadron composition. This is known as "squadron chemistry," and it can affect the outcome of missions by improving attributes or increasing their experience earned.
The mission ends in failure
Squadron members will receive half the basic reward experience points.

Squadron Ranks and Stats
At the base Squadron Rank (Trainee) you have a total of 200 stat points to allocate between three primary stats: Physical, Mental, and Tactics. This base stat pool will increase as your Squadron Rank increases. You are able to allocate these points via training sessions. Each training session also grants Squadron EXP, which will increase the level of your recruits. You may train your recruits three times daily, though you may not train recruits currently deployed on missions. Keep this in mind before using daily training charges. Each training session lasts one hour. The sessions that re-allocate stats grant 2,000 EXP. However, you may do a comprehensive training course that does NOT re-allocate stats and instead grants 3,000 EXP.
Recruits each have their own respective stat pools, which vary based on their class. For example, a Conjurer will have an incredibly high mental stat, but low physical and tactical stats. Each level seems to grant two stat points, allocated between the three stats depending on the NPC. You may check your recruit's experience points by clicking on them when they are in your barracks. Upon reaching First Lieutenant, you may purchase books to change the classes of your recruits.
You may have a squad of four recruits go out on missions. Each member added to the mission will increase the mission's statistics based on their personal allocation.
Missions each have a required stat pool in order to increase your chance of success. You have a greater chance to fail if you are below these amounts. As such, you can train your base stat pool and then supplement it with a variety of squadron members to play to whatever strengths you need. This makes it possible to math out your best odds of success on a mission with proper training and variety in recruits. Note that "Flagged" missions (ones that give rank up upon successful completion) will always fail if any of the three stats is not met.
Flagged Mission milestones
- Once one member has reached level 20, Flagged Mission: Voidsent Elimination becomes available. Successful completion of this mission will unlock Routine Missions.
- Once one member has reached level 40, Flagged Mission: Crystal Recovery becomes available. Successful completion of this mission will unlock Priority Missions and the rank of First Lieutenant.
- Once 5 different Command Missions have been completed, Flagged Mission: Sapper Strike becomes available. Successful completion of this mission will unlock the rank of Captain.
Squadron Chemistry
Chemistry gives stat boosts or extra rewards for missions, and typically depend on race or class composition.
Chemistry can be randomly gained after missions. Note that it must assigned to a party member before it applies. To apply chemistry, look at the detailed stats for a particular party member by selecting that party member directly, or by selecting them from the list of party members on the Regimen Board. Select the blue lightning icon, and then choose the chemistry you wish to apply. Unassigned chemistry is lost once the next mission is commenced. Use it on the next mission or lose it.
Recruit Levels
The first Squadron Rank up mission is available when a recruit reaches level 20. Recruits can be leveled up to 60, but this is capped by your highest level. Your squad cannot be higher leveled than your highest Job.
Your recruit's equipment will change in appearance as they level up.
Command Missions
Command Missions is a new feature released in patch 4.1 of Stormblood. It allows the player to enter certain dungeons alongside three of their squadron NPCs.
The introduction of the Duty Support System has put the future of the entire Adventurer Squadrons feature into doubt. Comments by YoshiP during PLLs has indicated the feature will be retired once development of Duty Support is complete.
Squadron Missions

Priority Missions
Squadron Member Glamours
This requires a Glamour Prism.
- Glamours must first be unlocked by the player before this action can be used.
Casting Glamours
Providing you have the necessary gear and glamour prism, speak with a squadron member and select Outfit from the enlistment papers. The glamour prism will be consumed upon use, but no gear will be lost in the process.
- It is not required to dispel existing glamours from a piece of gear before casting a different glamour.
- Gear used to cast glamours will be bound upon use of a glamour prism.
- Gear used to cast glamours that come from your Armoire or Glamour Dresser does not require a glamour prism.
There a few restrictions when glamouring squad members.
- The squad member must be at least level 51.
- Squad members cannot wear uniforms of a different Grand Company than what the player is currently a part of (i.e. a Twin Adder player cannot have his squad members wear Immortal Flames Uniform).
- If a squad member is wearing a glamoured Grand Company uniform when a player swaps to a different Grand Company, the uniform is replaced with the default appearance of the adventurer.
- Squad members can wear equipment that the player can't so as long as they meet the requirements (i.e. a Male Hyur can wear Hyuran Thighboots, even though the player is a female Lalafell).
Selecting Apply Glamours after speaking with the Squadron Outfitter will start the process.
Select the gear to which the glamour will be applied, then select the gear used to cast the glamour. Finally, select Confirm to consume the glamour prism and apply the glamour.
Default glamours
If a squadron member's glamour is not set by the player, then they will periodically change their equipped gear depending on their current class and level. If a squad member's class is changed, then they will automatically switch to wearing gear for the target class.
However, some squad members have a unique outfit - for example, Raelthota wears an outfit consisting of gear pieces that have conflicting class requirements. Squad members with unique outfits will not change their outfit as they level up, nor when their class is changed (but they will still change their weapon as they level up).
