Beyond their charm, minions are a valuable commodity. They can fetch a pretty Gil on the Market Board, boosting your in-game wealth. They also play a key role in the Gold Saucer's Lord of Verminion game.
Once you've acquired a new minion, navigate to your Inventory, select "Use," and add it to your collection. Duplicates can be sold on the Market Board or traded with other players.
Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail and all previous expansions are available now on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS4/5.
