{{see also|List of FATEs}}
To locate a FATE, look for FATE indicators that randomly appear on your map. To join a FATE, simply enter the FATE radius (blue circle) on your mini map and attempt to complete the FATE objectives. There are no limits to the number of players that can participate in a FATE at a time. If the player's level is too high, they will be asked to level sync down. FATEs can be completed by finishing the on-screen objectives within the time limit. Players are rewarded with experience and gil when a FATE is completed.

===Kill Enemies===
===Kill Enemies [[File:Slay enemy FATE icon.png|40px]]===
Monster FATES require the players to defeat waves and waves of monsters. On your map, they show up as icons with two crossed swords. Players can increase their rating by tagging or first hitting monsters, doing damage to the monsters and healing and reviving other players. To obtain participation for a monster slain, players need to get on the aggro table (pops up on the left) for that monster when it is slain.

===Kill Boss [[File:Boss FATE icon.png|40px]]===
Boss FATEs require the players to defeat one large and powerful boss monster. On your map, they show up as icons with monster maw. Players can increase their rating by doing damage to the boss, tanking hits from the boss and healing other players.

*Players do not gain participation by creating enmity, instead they gain rating by tanking the boss' attacks. Simply tanking a hit, regardless of whether you dodge, parry or take damage from it, gives you the same level of contribution.
====Rare Boss FATEs====
===Collect===
These FATEs, also referred to as '''world bosses''' by players, have prerequisite weather or completing other FATE chains. Level 70 and lower world boss FATEs are not visible on the main map, and must be located on the minimap display.
Collect FATEs require the players to collect and turn in special items. On your map, they show up as bag icons along with a small bag that indicate the location of the FATE NPC. Players can increase their rating by turning in collectibles before the timer hits 0.

====Notorious Monster [[File:Eureka notorious monster (map icon).png|40px]]====
{{main|Eureka FATEs}}
A type of boss fate only found in {{questlink|eureka|The Forbidden Land, Eureka}}. Often abbreviated as '''NM'''.
 
Some types of Eureka FATEs are called "Elemental Conflicts" (i.e. Happy Bunny FATEs), wherein players defeat a few waves of enemies while protecting the resident Happy Bunnies. Completing these allows players to search for hidden treasure. For more information, see [[The Forbidden Land, Eureka Pagos#Happy Bunnies|here]].
 
====Chase [[File:FATE-Path.png|40px]]====
A one-of-a-kind type of boss fate, {{questlink|fate-path|The Magitek Is Back}} involves chasing a boss to a destination marked with a grey version of the FATE icon: [[File:Chase FATE icon2.png|32px|link=]] Players must defeat the boss before it reaches the destination, or the FATE is a failure.
 
===Collect [[File:Collection FATE icon.png|40px]]===
Collect FATEs require the players to collect and turn in [[Key Items]]. On your map, they show up as bag icons along with a small bag that indicate the location of the FATE NPC. Players can increase their rating by turning in FATE items before the timer hits 0. You can also obtain items by defeating the FATE mobs that spawn continuously.


*Players can easily obtain the Gold Medal rating by picking up the FATE items on the ground and handing them to the FATE NPC.

===Defend===
===Defend [[File:Defense FATE icon.png|40px]]===
In these FATEs, players have to defend certain objects from destruction for a specified amount of time. Waves of enemies will attempt to destroy these objects and players must defeat these foes. If the objects are destroyed, players fail the FATE.

Waves of enemies will attempt to destroy/defeat these objects/NPCs and players must defeat these foes. If the objects/NPCs are destroyed/defeated, players fail the FATE. In the case of Defending NPCs, they can be healed by players and this can be critical to succeeding in the FATE. Objects cannot be healed, and therefore those FATEs benefit most from a tank to immediately grab aggro from the enemies.


===Escort===
===Escort [[File:Escort FATE icon.png|40px]]===
In these FATEs, players need to escort an NPC or multiple NPCs from one place to another. The NPC will travel from point A to point B, players must defend her from incoming monsters. If the NPC is killed, players fail the FATE.

The status then persists and grants a further 50% increased EXP and [[Bicolor Gemstone]]s for a subsequent FATE players participate or receive a rating in.
* The effect of this status will apply even if the FATEs participated in end in failure.
* The status' effect does not apply to EXP gained from defeating enemies.
* The status' effect stacks with other bonuses that apply to FATE completion EXP, including a subsequent [[File:Twist of fate icon1.png|link=]] '''Twist of Fate''' buff.
* The [[File:Twist of fate icon2.png|link=]] '''Twist of Fate''' status from [[The Forlorn]] grants a significantly greater EXP bonus (+250%) than that from a [[Forlorn Maiden]].

Boss FATEs require the players to defeat one large and powerful boss monster. On your map, they show up as icons with monster maw. Players can increase their rating by doing damage to the boss, tanking hits from the boss and healing other players.

Rare Boss FATEs

These FATEs, also referred to as world bosses by players, have prerequisite weather or completing other FATE chains. Level 70 and lower world boss FATEs are not visible on the main map, and must be located on the minimap display.

Notorious Monster Eureka notorious monster (map icon).png

Main article: Eureka FATEs

A type of boss fate only found in The Forbidden Land Eureka The Forbidden Land, Eureka. Often abbreviated as NM.

Some types of Eureka FATEs are called "Elemental Conflicts" (i.e. Happy Bunny FATEs), wherein players defeat a few waves of enemies while protecting the resident Happy Bunnies. Completing these allows players to search for hidden treasure. For more information, see here.

Chase FATE-Path.png

A one-of-a-kind type of boss fate, FATE: ChaseThe Magitek Is Back involves chasing a boss to a destination marked with a grey version of the FATE icon: Chase FATE icon2.png Players must defeat the boss before it reaches the destination, or the FATE is a failure.

Collect Collection FATE icon.png

Collect FATEs require the players to collect and turn in Key Items. On your map, they show up as bag icons along with a small bag that indicate the location of the FATE NPC. Players can increase their rating by turning in FATE items before the timer hits 0. You can also obtain items by defeating the FATE mobs that spawn continuously.

  • Players can easily obtain the Gold Medal rating by picking up the FATE items on the ground and handing them to the FATE NPC.

Defend Defense FATE icon.png

In these FATEs, players have to defend certain objects/NPCs from destruction/defeat for a specified amount of time. Waves of enemies will attempt to destroy/defeat these objects/NPCs and players must defeat these foes. If the objects/NPCs are destroyed/defeated, players fail the FATE. In the case of Defending NPCs, they can be healed by players and this can be critical to succeeding in the FATE. Objects cannot be healed, and therefore those FATEs benefit most from a tank to immediately grab aggro from the enemies.

Escort Escort FATE icon.png

In these FATEs, players need to escort an NPC or multiple NPCs from one place to another. The NPC will travel from point A to point B, players must defend them from incoming monsters. If the NPC is killed, players fail the FATE.

  • Note that the HP of NPCs will regenerate outside of combat.

Shared FATE

Main article: Shared FATE

The Shared FATE system was introduced in Shadowbringers with 5.0 and carried forward in later expansions. Instead of Company seal Company Seals, players receive Bicolor Gemstone Bicolor Gemstones for participation in FATEs in these zones.

Hot Spots

Players occasionally group up and farm FATEs for experience. Generally this is done while waiting on queues or while simultaneously working on various Relic Weapons. Experience per hour is quite poor from FATEs alone.
Various FATE spots emerge for different levels.

Tips and Tricks

  • Players do not need to stick around for the entire FATE. If you feel comfortable that you have done enough to receive full exp for the fate, you can leave early to join another FATE that may have popped. For Collect FATEs this is typically 6-8 of the items.
    • You must be in the same zone as the FATE when it ends to receive any credit, however. Going into a queue or leaving for another zone will forfeit any contribution.
  • Make sure to join a party. Often if you shout in an area that you are "looking for group" someone will pick you up. You can also use the Party Finder.
  • By being in a party, you will not only increase your likelihood of getting the gold rank for FATE completion, but also allows you to share everyone's experience as monsters are killed.
  • Tanks having trouble getting the gold rank for FATE completion should turn on their tank stance and use their area-of-effect attacks if there are multiple enemies.
  • Healers having trouble receiving gold rank FATE completion can spam their area-of-effect healing spells in a party.

Additional Stormblood+ FATE Mechanics

Experience Points Bonus

FATEs that appear in Stormblood (and later) areas will, on occasion, offer a bonus to EXP awarded upon completion. As of Dawntrail, these bonuses also apply to the amount of Bicolor Gemstone Bicolor Gemstones earned, but not Company seal Company Seals earned from Stormblood FATEs.

FATEs offering bonus EXP can be confirmed via the map or the Recommendations list.

Twist of Fate

A special enemy called the Forlorn Maiden may appear over the course of any given FATE. Players will see the chat message "The smell of death has drawn a Forlorn maiden to the battlefield!" when one spawns, and "The Forlorn maiden dissipates..." when it is defeated.

In very rare instances a significantly larger, tougher variant called The Forlorn may appear instead.

Twist of fate1.png

By defeating the Forlorn Maiden or The Forlorn, all players who participated in the FATE and received a rating will be granted the Twist of fate icon1.png Twist of Fate status.

  • Players will be granted the status even if the FATE ends in failure so long as the Forlorn Maiden was defeated.

Twist of fate2.png

Players under the effect of the Twist of fate icon1.png Twist of Fate status will receive 15% increased EXP rewards and 25% increased Bicolor Gemstones upon completing the FATE in which the Forlorn Maiden was defeated. The status then persists and grants a further 50% increased EXP and Bicolor Gemstones for a subsequent FATE players participate or receive a rating in.

  • The effect of this status will apply even if the FATEs participated in end in failure.
  • The status' effect does not apply to EXP gained from defeating enemies.
  • The status' effect stacks with other bonuses that apply to FATE completion EXP, including a subsequent Twist of fate icon1.png Twist of Fate buff.
  • The Twist of fate icon2.png Twist of Fate status from The Forlorn grants a significantly greater EXP bonus (+250%) than that from a Forlorn Maiden.

The effect has no expiry time limit. However, players will lose the buff if they leave the zone in any way.
