How Do You Revive Fallen Characters?

[VictorSpoils]

I thought Phoenix Downs were meant only for deep dungeon use cus that was where the chests that drop them are found. They can be used in normal pve? My mind is blown.

Well, in addition to them being flagged Unique and only usable outside of battle, they can also only be used on party members. That really limits their practical use outside of DDs. Even in Trust dungeons, if the healer somehow dies the other party members will use a PD on them so you don't have to.

Other than the feather (Phoenix Down), you can revive characters with all healers, arcanist/summoner, redmage (if they have the level for it, they get it at 64), and blue mage (if they have the spell(s) on hand). And, if you yourself are not in combat and you are not in an instance and you do have one of those jobs, you could switch and then revive. I sometimes do that if I am out and about gathering things and see someone dead/dying.

Levelling WHM or Arcanist to 12 would give you access to that option quickly, if you'd like it. Just keep in mind, not to try to switch to your low level healer, if you are in an area way beyond it and near some mobs or you'll join that corpse. :P
