which FATEs give the most GC seals?

I'm at the point in the game post MSQ where i now want to get 18,000 GC seals to get promoted to seargent second class, so i can trade gear in for seals. Right now, I'm at dragonhead in coerthas central highlands doing FATEs for 250ish seals each. There has to be a faster way.

thanks for all advice!

I can't help you with the FATE grind, but in case you aren't already, I would strongly recommend getting in the habit of greeding every last piece of gear that drops from dungeons and what not so that you can turn them in for GC seals. I believe that unlocks with the Seargent Second Class rank.

Run your highest level dungeon and roll for all the loot, then turn that loot in to your GC. This nets you both EXP and seals.

Edit: Just noticed you're level 90, so run expert roulette.

They can't turn in gear until they hit the rank they mentioned in their post. Unless things have changed, but dont think they have.

Did neither of you actually read the post? They're trying to rank up so they can turn in gear for seals. But you need seals before you can rank up for that.

Daily leveling roulette also gives a pile of seals. And don't forget the Grand Company hunting log.

i just found out about this company hunting log. that saved me a couple of hours of time. boosted me to 5k seals! whew! thanks. i guess i just need to tough out the next couple of hours then i can dump all the gear ive been saving on them lol. thanks, guys!

EDIT: i just now realized i can repeat the daily leveling roulette for seals.. at least i think i can lol. I'm a dps so i'll wait on the queue. Too nervous to heal one, since i havent healed anything yet since playing.

Well, I think that solves my problem! Upvoted! thank you!

Stormblood FATES are the highest level fates that give Seals so probably those would be best.

Company leves don't give a lot, but some can be very quick to complete.

The daily turnins for crafter/gatherer items is also a good source of GC seals - in addition to giving lots of XP.

Once you unlock the gear turn ins Shisui of the Violet Tides is great. Quick and easy to solo at 80+ and each item is like 1400 seals iirc. Be sure to turn in after each run, because you can't get duplicate items.

Higher zones give slightly more seals, so anything to the end of Stormblood before they turn into gems. You also don't lose so many spells. I normally do Gyr, and Porta.

Levelling roulette gives several thousand, once a day.
You may have more luck with battle leves than FATEs; the highest level ones are in Ishgard.
Once you can trade in gear for seals, you will have more seals than you know what to do with.

I had the same issue with my alt and found doing roulettes and every FATE I came across when questing were my best options. That last step to get to the point where you can turn gear in for seals is probably the most frustrating.

If you have room on your retainer(s) I suggest hoarding every piece of blue and green gear you get until you're able to turn them in for seals as you'll continue to need them throughout the game for both ranking up and general use. You'll eventually get to a point where your retainers' Quick Ventures will start a feedback loop that is self-sustaining and nets a profit in seals. Once you get there it's smooth sailing to Happy Town.

The poster asked which FATES give the most GC seals... NOT "Hey, I'm going to ask a question, but everyone please go ahead and not answer my question, disregard it completely, and then suggest other things that I simply didn't ask for." Typical forums. Here's the best , and quite honestly the ONLY answer: The Azim Steppe. A central aetheryte on a nearly square-ish easy to play on-the-small-size map. I grind those last few GC ranks on alts there with a couple friends nailing 20K seals in no time. Easy peasy.

Cool, I'm glad you were able to get this two-year-old thread back on track!

OP also thanked the other posters for their alternate methods, by the way.

If you have dungeon/tome gear, you can trade those in for seals. The higher the level, the more you get and it's way faster than doing FATEs.

Remarkable. Even after 2 years, people still can't read two whole sentences.

Tip: When people are asking this exact question, the reason is typically because they need seals to rank up to the point where they can start turning in gear. That isn't a default option.
