Where to unlock all alliance raids in FFXIV

Published:

Ultimate Fantasy 14 comes with tons of optional content including allied attackswhich are huge 24-person dungeons. If you’ve recently caught up on the game’s main story, it may be worth working on unlocking these raids.

It is worth noting that most of the equipment from these raids (except the last one Endwalker raid) is quite dated, although many of them are really impressive. You can also get things like minions, orchestral reels, and Triple Triad cards from these raids. (Not to mention the history of each of these raiding lines is good!)
