Collecting minions in Final Fantasy 14 can get overwhelming due to the sheer amount of minions there are. Luckily, there are quite a few different avenues to obtain minions. In this guide, we’ll look at every minion you can make as a crafter.

While these minions are mainly obtained through crafting, they can also be purchased for Gil on the Market Board. Most of these minions will need unique materials that can be difficult to obtain. This can make certain minions very expensive to craft if you aren’t gathering the materials yourself. However, gathering each material, whether through mining, botany, planting, or treasure hunting, can be a fun and rewarding experience. It might make you appreciate your minions a little more if you make them entirely yourself.

Additionally, some of these minions will need a Master Craftsman book to unlock its recipe. These can be purchased with Yellow or White Crafter’s Scrips at any Scrip Exchange. You can find these vendors in most main cities, like Mor Dhona, Rhalgr’s Reach, and the Crystarium.

Let’s take a look at each minion you can obtain through crafting, what level you’ll need to be to craft them, and their recipes.
