XI Wiki
Having beaten the main story finally, I'm now in the process of looking for a Free Company to team up with for endgame type stuff. I'm wondering if there is any benefit to joining one that is affiliated with the same Grand Company as I am.
Basically, I'm a member of Twin Adders in Gridania. What happens if I join a Free Company associated with Maelstrom of Limsa Lominsa? Is there any downside to that, vs joining an FC associated with Twin Adders? I figure there has to be SOMETHING about it, or else why associate FCs with GCs anyway?

Joining a FC not affiliated with your GC (Pros? Cons?)

Only "downside" I can see so far is having to go to your FC's city to affix crest to your gear, if it's different from your GC. Don't even know what benefits the reputation standing with the GCs even does for the FCs.

Lowers the cost of company actions purchased with company credits and lowers teleport cost for areas under the jurisdiction of the Grand Company you're allied with.
I never bothered to confirm the latter, but eh

While I'm here, what are the rank tiers? I have four narrowed down, and they each have different standings, and I'm not sure which would be highest and so forth.

The teleport reduction is extremely minor. @Allied the teleport cost reduction is a mere 10%. This does add up though. I wish it would effect Ferry/Airship costs as well. The reduction in Company Action costs basically reduces it by a total in the 700s. For a small guild (under 20-25 people) this may make a difference, but I would be hardpressed to try and waste enough CP to make this worthwhile. Originally Posted by Rocl
