In Shadowbringers, Final Fantasy XIV introduced its Shared FATE system, giving players one more reason to hunt down special enemy mobs spawning in new zones. For every Endwalker (or Shadowbringers) FATE you complete, FFXIV rewards you with Bicolor Gemstones. Those gemstones are exchangeable in all six of Endwalker‘s new zones, with FFXIV Items two exclusive Shared FATE vendors available to unlock later on.
Vendors in Labyrinthos, Thavnair, Garlemald, Mare Lamentorum, Elpis, and Ultima Thule offer tons of crafting materials typically gated by farming enemies — a long, tedious grind when you’ve got millions of Gil to make. Bicolor Gemstones help you circumvent that grind, and these merchants also sell things like minions, orchestrion rolls, glamour, furniture, and Triple Triad cards.
FFXIV often adds items to these shops throughout an expansion’s lifecycle, so as of Patch 6.1, here’s everything you can get from Endwalker Shared FATEs, plus where to find all of the vendors and a few extra tips.
Tips for Grinding Endwalker Shared FATEs and Ranks.
In our zone charts below, you’ll notice every Endwalker area has a Shared FATE Rank ranging from one to three. Every vendor offers new items upon reaching the next rank, and you start at Rank 1 by completing one FATE. You’ll reach Rank 2 after completing six FATEs and Rank 3 at the 60 FATEs milestone. After reaching Rank 3 in all of Endwalker‘s six zones, Radz-at-Han and Old Sharlayan will open up their exclusive vendors, both of which offer all of the zone crafting materials plus housing items and orchestrion rolls limited to these merchants.
While you’re working on grinding ranks in all of Endwalker‘s Shared FATEs, pay close attention to an event’s progress on the map. If you’re on the other side of Labyrinthos and a FATE is at 90% completion, don’t waste your time trying to run there. You need to receive full credit for completing a FATE for it to count towards a zone’s progress, so that means getting the max reward of 14 Bicolor Gemstones per Shared FATE.
It’s worth noting you don’t have to complete a single FATE in any zone to access the Rank 1 offerings from the shop, either. If you’re capped on Bicolor Gemstones and want to grab crafting materials from Elpis but haven’t completed a single FATE there, that’s fine. It’s essential to watch your Bicolor Gemstones and make sure you don’t exceed the 1,000 cap on the currency — that’s potential profit wasted. Always go to an area merchant, whether in Endwalker or Shadowbringers, and spend gemstones on something to sell.
FATEs are also a great source of experience, so pay attention to the level requirements in the zone you’re grinding. And if you’re in Thavnair or Ultima Thule, be on the lookout for players shouting about Daivadipa or Chi spawns. Both of these are fights exclusive to these zones, rewarding their own unique currencies and a heftier bounty of 60 Bicolor Gemstones.
As a final note, Endwalker Shared FATE rewards are quite different from Shadowbringers. They’re mostly untradeable, outside of the crafting materials, so you can’t rely on other players to grind for those orchestrion rolls and sell them to you.
The Labyrinthos vendor, Faezbroes (X: 29.9, Y:1 2.9), is closest to The Archeion teleport. You visit this area at the beginning and end of Endwalker, so its FATE level requirements have pretty drastic differences. In the northern area, along the Outer and Medial Circuit, Labyrinthos FATEs are levels 80 – 81. Around the Central Circuit, FATEs are primarily level 88, so keep those differences in mind when swapping jobs for experience.
Thavnair – Shared FATE Rewards and Ranks.
Thavnair’s vendor, Mahveydah (X: 25.8, Y: 34.6), is in Yedlihmad. FATEs along Saltwind’s Welcome and The Perfumed Rise are lower level 81 encounters, but the eastern area around The Shroud of the Samgha kicks those requirements up to around level 84 – 85.
This zone is also home to Davidipa, spawning on a little square platform in the southwest (X: 9.4, Y: 37.4). As a Special FATE, Devout Pilgrims vs. Daivadipa, you won’t see the boss on the map, but players typically shout when it spawns. As a reward for helping defeat the area boss, you’ll receive 60 Bicolor Gemstones, plus Daivadipa’s Beads to Final Fantasy XIV Gil trade in Radz-at-Han.
