About us

We are the Hopalong Travel Agency here to build community and help others enjoy the wonderful world of Eorzea. Below will be more information on how our FC works and what we have to offer.

Hopalong was founded to give others a home who were looking for one. It is a place where others can find friends, share similar interests, or just enjoy reduced teleportation rates. We seek to build a community within FFXIV where everyone can have a good time, be it as a member of the FC or with other friends.

Community Calendar

We would like to host events for others to join us out in the fields of Eorzea, you can find these on Party Finder for Adamantoise, Ather. Feel free to join any of the parties and we can all have some fun together! There is a linkshell that will give call outs on the days we will be running and when our PF is up. *Please note that all times are in CST (Central Time)- Chicago.

- Rules -

There are a few different rules for each event, I will lay them out here, please come prepared and ready for some fun.

  • FATE Runs

  • Fate runs will vary depending on the week. Please check Party Finder for location information.

  • As some members will be running these for various reasons, we ask that you be kind and patient.

  • You are free to leave whenever your objective is reached.

  • You may bring a Chocobo (murder chicken), we love our feathered friends.

  • If you are leveling please do make sure that you have an appropriate level for the Fates.

  • We do ask that if raises are needed, please raise the dead.

  • We will run for the full two hours or until everyone has left the party.

  • ------------------------------------------------

  • Treasure Maps

  • We ask that you bring at least 3 maps each, depending on the size of the party we can do more.

  • Please check with Party Finder for which expansion we will do, and we will try to keep to the group ones for portals.

  • Since it can take a bit to gather all the necessary maps (Unless you buy them) these will take place twice a month.

  • The loot rules will be GREED ONLY! This way we ensure everyone has a chance to get something.

  • For maximum efficiency we ask that you have a max level character for each map we do. For Endwalker maps a lv.90 is recommended. For Dawntrail maps a lv. 100 is recommended.

  • As some of the areas are large flying will be required, if you need help we will provide a multi-seater mount. Just let us know ahead of time if you need one.

  • ------------------------------------------------

  • Mount Runs

  • We will be sticking to the older mount runs from ARR, HW, and SB.

  • Each run will be unsynced and we will run them until everyone receives their mount.

  • Each week will be a different expansion, this is open to everyone but specifically for new players or anyone who hasn't acquired the mounts.

  • We will take a count of which mounts everyone has or doesnt have so we know how many times to run each dungeon.

  • We will take vibe checks if people need to unlock any dungeons or need armor mending.

  • Bring your highest level class.

  • For ARR if anyone would like we can also include The Nightmare whistle to the list of mounts as it can be farmed from the same trials.

  • ------------------------------------------------

  • V/C Dungeons

  • The Sil’dihn Subterrane

  • Mount Rokkon

  • Aloalo Island

  • There are no class requirements, you can come as any class you are comfortable with.

  • These will be full runs, no practice. (Variant)

  • Criterion can have a practice run if requested or we can blind porg it.

  • There will be a different Variant dungeon each week.

  • A Criterion dungeon once a month (including the practice runs).
