Final Fantasy XIV: How To Unlock Alliance Raids

Final Fantasy XIV is an MMORPG with a persistent world in which players can interact with one another and the environment. 

There are currently five separate Alliance Raids to overcome in Final Fantasy XIV. Each set of Alliance Raids consists of three raids in which 24 players must work together to overcome challenging enemies. Alliance Raids have been added to each expansion, as well as the main game.

At level 50, you’ll be able to enter the first Alliance Raid, the Crystal Tower. You’ll need to pursue a unique quest line to unlock each Alliance Raid, which can be tricky to locate. 

Let’s take a look at where you may begin the questline to unlock each Alliance Raid, as well as which quests will unlock each 24-man raid.

Here’s how to unlock Alliance Raids in each of FFXIV‘s expansions, from the Crystal Tower to Nier.

The Crystal Tower is the focus of the first series of Alliance Raids. You’ll be able to explore the tower and learn about the Allagan tribe.

The Crystal Tower raid series must be completed before moving on to the Main Scenario Quests.
