Squadron Recruits

[Miku_]

I haven't gotten a single recruit from completing challenge logs... ;a;

No one likes me!

My first recruit was a miqo'te guy wearing the battlemage set from Brayflox, and I went in only wanting Roes, but I love that set too much to turn him away.

I like the variety of characters that show up!

It could be pure RNG, but I wonder if their reasons are linked to which challenge log pops them?

I wondered that, too. After completing a couple Gold Saucer challenges, I got a recruit who wanted a commander who could balance work and play. Then after completing "Crafting Up a Storm" I got a recruit who said she wanted a commander who could create as well as destroy. (Haven't gotten any wearing comic outfits, though.)

A Question, are we actually able to dismiss them again? I mean completly abandon them so they free they're spot so i can recruit others?
Im going to be very picky about my squadrons (even if it takes forever) so i would like to just kick the first three squadrons you get at the start.

Do I have to get the max amount of squadrons to kick others, or a minimum number of squadrons or can i just endlessly recruit them?xD

I wouldn't dismiss the originals right away (though I'm pretty sure you can), because you need a minimum of four members in order to do anything. Once you have more than four, you can start weeding out the ones you don't like as well without blocking your access to missions and training. The maximum you can have at any one time is eight. If you already have eight members in your squadron, and get another applicant, you'd have to dismiss one in order to accept the new recruit in their place.

My catte grill and lizard waifu squad will be the on-pointest of on-point squads.

Somebody is trying to compile information on the possible recruits here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...ta_on_all_the/

Can confirm. I got a recruit who could "create as well as destroy" from Crafting Up a Storm (HQ).

And "balance work and play" from Gold Saucer.

I think each type of activity has a different pool of possible recruits.

Aw, mine just looks like a group of newbies.

I honestly think this a large part of the idea, even within the lore. These guys aren't all that experienced, and are using the Squadron to learn from the best adventurer around.

So we get people in mismatched gear, goofy costumes.... And the gear hacker XD

Honestly, I was more excited by the fact that they were grouped up "studying tactics" than what they were wearing. xD
