Final Fantasy 14's Recruit A Friend Campaign has been going on for over six years now and shows no signs of stopping any time soon. Whether you're looking to get your friend in on the action or curious about jumping on board through this event, there's no denying that now is the perfect time to dive into the vast world the game offers.
Going into Final Fantasy 14 by yourself is a fine enough experience in its own right, but when paired with a buddy, things can be exponentially better. Using the Recruit A Friend Campaign will net you and your recruited friend a handful of unique and powerful rewards that make the program worth giving a shot and tempting enough to make your buddy jump aboard.
How To Recruit A Friend/How To Redeem The Code
Recruiting your friends to Final Fantasy 14 is a great way to get unique rewards and to try and finally rope them into the incredible world of Eorzea. However, recruiting them requires a few steps for both you and your friend, which can be tricky, especially if your friend doesn't have a Square Enix Account.
Below are the steps required for both parties involved. We'll explain how the recruiter obtains their unique Recruitment Code and how their friend redeems the code. Then we will explain the rewards for both participants afterward.
Recruiter
- Log into the Mog Station with your Square Enix Account
- Scroll down until you see the Recruit A Friend banner
- Click the banner and then copy the Recruitment Code on the following page
- Send your Recruitment Code to who you want to recruit
- After your friend redeems your code, you will receive an in-game reward
- The more your friend plays Final Fantasy 14, the more rewards you receive
Friend
- Register to play Final Fantasy 14
- Or create a Square Enix Account first
- Then log into the Mog Station
- Scroll down until you see the Recruit A Friends Banner
- Click the banner, then enter and redeem your friend's Recruitment Code
- You will receive rewards based on your friend's subscription status
Rewards (Recruiter)
Rewards are the most significant incentive (outside of wanting to play the game with your friend, of course) to participate in the Recruit A Friend Campaign as it allows you to obtain many unique items in Final Fantasy 14.
Fortunately for the recruiter, if your friend decides the game simply isn't for them, you still get something out of it. But if your friend decides to stick around and purchase a subscription, you will get even more rewards. Below is the complete list of rewards for the recruiter and how to obtain them.

Rewards (Friend)
While the recruiter gets a couple of rewards just for redeeming their code, you won't get anything unless your friend continues their subscription. However, you will also receive these items on top of whatever else new players get, alongside your subscription bonuses. So it isn't as bad of a hand as it seems.
Below is the complete list of what you will receive after redeeming your friend's Recruitment Code and subscribing to Final Fantasy 14. Also, please note a Free Trial of the game that covers the base game (A Realm Reborn) and the first expansion (Heavensward) is available for newcomers.
