Minions are not only a popular type of item to collect in Final Fantasy 14, but they are a prime contender for making considerable sums of Gil via the Market Board, for those looking to bulk up their in-game wallets. Minions are also used in the Gold Saucer’s Lord of Verminion game mode.

After obtaining or buying a minion that you didn’t previously have, make sure to go to your Inventory and select “Use” to officially add it to your collection and make it available to summon. If you obtain more than one of the same minions, consider selling it on the Market Board or trading it to a fellow player.
Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail and all previous expansions are available now on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS4/5.
