Free Company Questions

[TDub727]

I recently created a Free Company.

So here go the questions.

I show the rank as Master, why am I not able to show as part of the FC on Lodestone, even though I created it?

When looking in the FC page in the game, I see that I am not authorized to execute company actions, why is that?

Any help is appreciated

You need to be Rank 5 in FC Entitlements to execute Company Actions - you can access this through the FC interface > INFO > Entitlements.
As you do content and hand in gear to your grand company your FC will gain points, you can see it in the FC interface, it's a circle with a star in it right beside your company rank. The max is 30.

As for the lodestone I think it might need a moment to update if you created it recently?

Thank you Rueby.

You can't use Company Actions until your FC is rank 5 (and rank 8 for the level 2 actions.)

You rank up by earning Company Credits, which act as both exp for ranking up, and also as a currency for buying actions and other items. They are earned whenever anyone in the FC does pretty much anything. Any time anyone in the FC does a quest, FATE, dungeon, craft/gather, etc, you get credits, so your FC will passively rank up over time (faster if you have more people in the FC to contribute.)

Welcome to Eorzea!

As Rueby stated, the Lodestone is rather.. sluggish updating information so just give it a while - 6-12 hours might be sufficent but it may take a day or more in some instances (this is also why your forum avatar may be a bit out of date for what your character may current look like as well, as the forum gets that information from the Lodestone).

Either way, just have patience, it will update eventually.

A fast way to level up your fc is to do daily GC turn-in missions with your crafters/gatherers. You can also go in a dungeon unsynch, loot all the gear and turn it in. I find level 60-70 dungeons pretty good for that as the gear gives back a decent amount of seals/xp and they are fast to run.

Welcome to Eorzea! I think information only goes out to the Lodestone to be updated at specific times of day so it'll probably take a day or maybe even two for things to reflect there.

can they not construct an aetherwheel thing yet and use it in the meantime? I don't know the answer to this but i know they exist they allow the execution of company actions without company credits,

It requires workshops which require a lot more work and time than just doing some dungeons unsynched and turning in the loot with the GC. With 2 ppl we managed to get to level 5 in two evenings just doing that.
