If the player is not in a party, or does not meet the party size requirement for a certain duty, the player will be matched with other players automatically. The player must check the box next to the desired duty and select Join. Opening the Duty Finder, either from the menu or a shortcut placed in a hotbar, will display a list of dungeons, guildhests, trials, and raids.

It can be inferred that from an in-universe perspective, the player's allies are merely imitations of the paired adventurers. Prior to this, during The Dying Gasp, the Crystal Exarch uses a summoning spell to similarly call forth allies.ĭuring the Pandaemonium raid series, Themis uses creation magic to generate illusory familiars to aid the Warrior of Light in battle. However starting with the trial Seat of Sacrifice, the Warrior of Light gains the power to summon their friends to their side, giving the Duty Finder an explanation in-universe.

For most of the game the Duty Finder is simply an out of universe gameplay mechanic and does not have a role in the story, with most dungeon quests simply having a character ask the Warrior of Light to go and gather allies before entering.
