Have you joined a Grand Company? What Grand Company are you in? What rank are you currently in?
For me, I’m a proud Flame Captain! Do you know there is a lot of benefits you can get from joining a Grand Company? One of the most appealing benefits to me is finally being able to get rid of that dungeon equipment I no longer use. This will be available once you have reached the Sergeant Second Class Rank, you can submit the rare and unique equipment for company seals.
The other fascinating benefit is having your very own Squadron! Yes, on level 47 you may unlock your squadron from a quest called “Squadron and Commander (Grand Company Name)”, and you are the leader, or should I say, the Commander of the team. This feature allows you to send your squadron members on a mission or freely explore dungeons with them. Upon finishing the missions, especially the higher-level ones, you will get rewards from it, and for the dungeons, you may keep all the drops to yourself. But before doing all the missions and dungeons, you must first recruit the members, you can recruit up to 8 members into your squadron.
To recruit members, you will have to finish “Challange Logs” this is available on level 15 from a quest called “Rising to the Challenge” available in Limsa Lominsa. The recruits can vary depends on what category of challenge logs you completed. The level of your squadron is capped at level 60, and the recruitment level that comes to you depends on your overall squadron’s level when the recruitment comes. Please note that all your squadrons members can change job depending on what you see fit, and there will be no difference whatsoever in their status, however, your squadron will not be able to get a soul stone and upgrade their class. This is why you will not see recruits with jobs after the Heavensward expansion. Other than that, you can also freely change their glamour and dress them however you like! The fun part is, there are already recruits with their unique glamour or funny names, and this article will tell you just that!

That is all the recruits with funny names and outfit! One more thing to note from the squadron, upon going to missions the members will form Chemistry, for early to the middle level of a squadron, I suggest that you take chemistry that will boost your attributes. This will be useful in finishing your missions and help your character to rank up in Grand Company. When all the levels are maximized, feel free to have the chemistry that you wish for. I hope this guide helps you decide on your squadron dream team!
