Free Company

=Free Companies= Free Companies are adventurer-run organizations, akin to Guilds in other MMOs. To create a Free Company first reach level 25 and be a member of a Grand Company, then you must obtain three signatures of other players on a petition and pay a fee of 15,000 gil to an Administrator. At this time you will also choose a 1-5 letter guild "tag" that is displayed by members (example: [TYL]).

After your company is formed, you can design a crest from numerous shapes, colors, and more. Crests can be displayed on certain pieces of gear.

Each Free Company has a chest where items and gil can be stored and shared with each other. There are also bonuses such as increased experience points and the ability to purchase estates and build residences.

You may only be in one Free Company at a time.

Leadership
A Free Company has one Master, with the next rank down being Leader. There can be multiple Leaders, and the company's Master can create more ranks to fulfill the needs of the organization.

Communication
Each company is given a chat channel to communicate with each other (default command: /fc), similar to, but separate than, a Linkshell. A "Message of the Day" can be utilized to relay important information with other members.

Management
Within the Free Company UI window there are some management tools available to the appropriate rank. In here you can promote or demote members, custom set your company's ranks, modify rank permissions, and more. There is also an activity log to keep track of the goings-on of your Free Company.

Actions
Actions are bonuses for members that can be purchased and activated. These are purchased with Free Company Points which are accumulated by Crafting, Gathering, or FATE Grinding.

The costs for perks are 3360 Credits at most, and last 24 hours. Perk costs are lowered by increasing your standing level with each Grand Company.
