Company Seals are a unique currency in Final Fantasy XIV. Players can use them to purchase items from Grand Companies. There are a lot of different ways to earn Company Seals. You can make them through Duty Roulette, quests, FATEs, and other Grand Company missions. There are three types of company seals available that depend on which Grand Company the player joins. Here are the best ways to farm any Company Seals in Final Fantasy XIV.
How to quickly get Company Seals in Final Fantasy XIV
There are multiple ways you can go about farming Company Seals while playing Final Fantasy XIV. You’ll want to optimize your time based on your preferred playstyle. Some of the best ways you can regularly get Company Seals is by completing FATEs, Hunting Logs, earning Dungeon Gear, or by completing Retainer Ventures.

FATEs
FATEs, or Full Active Time Events, are great for earning seals, Gil, experience, and other goodies. They are typically combat scenarios where players must fight bosses or complete escort missions. In addition, players often use FATEs to grind the experience, so it is easy to find groups of players waiting for extra members to jump in and complete the mission.
Unfortunately, these grinding groups become rarer as you level up. If you start at a lower level, around 49 and under, you can farm FATEs in Horizon, Dragonhead, or Quarrymill to gain a lot of quick XP and Seals with other players. You can also make a few friends while you are at it. When you reach higher levels, all players should expect to encounter players in the endgame areas looking to complete FATEs. Many of these players are likely hunting after a specific resource that drops from these activities.
Joining a party when completing a FATE will give more rewards than trying to do one solo. At the more popular farming locations, you can shout that you are looking for a group, and someone is bound to ask you to join theirs. It never hurts to reach out to other players that you want to join their group.
Hunting Logs
If you don’t like playing with a party, Hunting Logs are one of the best ways to earn Seals. Hunting Logs are very straightforward missions where you kill a specific number of particular creatures and get rewarded. Grand Companies have hunting logs that reward large amounts of Company Seals as you complete each entry. There are three ranks of Hunting Logs for the Grand Companies. If you complete every log, you will have 20,775 Seals.
Many of the Hunting Logs for the Grand Companies will require you to go to a dungeon to hunt the creatures you need. This will let you earn some loot from the dungeon that you can exchange for seals later.
Dungeon Gear
Dungeons typically drop a lot of gear that can be used for getting Seals. The extra equipment you receive can be donated to the company by talking to the Personnel Officer. It’s important to note that you can only earn seals this way if you have reached the rank of Sergeant Second Class or higher in your company. When you get to this point, and you’re completing older dungeons, don’t be afraid to be greedy when doing a dungeon run. The previously worthless loot can become Seals.
Simply choose some dungeons at or near your current level and keep running them to gain plenty of loot. Whatever you don’t need can be turned in for Seals that you can use to purchase Grand Company items. We love this method because not only can you gain a lot of Seals, but it is also possible to get some decent gear out of the dungeons. Seals are awarded at roughly 12 times the level of the item you are donating.
Retainer Ventures
Retainers are your best friend when it comes to gaining Seals. Once your Retainer reaches level 10, you can assign them to do a Quick Exploration. These quick explorations take about an hour to complete, and your Retainer will bring back a lot of gear you can donate to the Personnel Officer. When you give your Retainer some decent gear, they will be able to bring about more loot and start paying for themselves on each quick trip.
