Final Fantasy XIV: Where to buy Phoenix Downs

Final Fantasy XIV has changed Phoenix Downs to not only be purchasable and non-unique, but also made them a must-have item for all players doing group activities. It’s one of the biggest changes to be implemented in the game in such a long time, allowing groups to have far more options for battle raises. Now players won’t have to feel like they must play something like Red Mage, just to make sure that an extra battle raise is available in more difficult content.

We’ve got the info you need to know about this item, including where you can buy it, how much it costs, and its restrictions.

Each Phoenix Down in Final Fantasy XIV costs 1,000 gil, so you need 991,000 gil for a full stack of 999. However, it’s worth having plenty of them (though I don’t necessarily recommend a full 999 stack if you don’t need it).

Phoenix Downs have a cast timer of eight seconds, a 15-yalm reach, and a cooldown of 6 minutes. It also shares a recast timer with other medicine items.

Even Healers should pack these, to res someone without burning through mana, in a pinch. They can only be used in 4-player activities, so definitely not in San d’Oria: The Second Walk, which is the new Alliance Raid added in this patch.
