FFXIV: Bicolor Gemstone Farming

FATEs can be completed in specific zones to produce bicolor gemstones. A part of the Shared FATE system introduced in the Shadowbringers expansion continues in Endwalker.

Zones that take part in shared FATEs include the following:

Shadowbringers

  1. Lakeland
  2. Amh Araeng
  3. Il Mheg
  4. Kholusia
  5. The Rak’tika Greatwood
  6. The Tempest

Endwalker

  1. Labyrinthos
  2. Thavnair
  3. Garlemald
  4. Mare Lamentorum
  5. Elpis
  6. Ultima Thule

Completing any FATE in these areas will net you 12 bicolor gemstones, although not all of them are equally difficult.

In order to accomplish FATEs that level sync you to a certain point in the expansion’s level cap, you’ll have to kill mobs quicker – level 80 for Shadowbringers and level 90 for Endwalker.
