The following is a list of zones that participate in shared FATEs: Shadowbringers

Lakeland Amh Araeng Il Mheg Kholusia The Rak’tika Greatwood The Tempest

Endwalker

Labyrinthos Thavnair Garlemald Mare Lamentorum Elpis Ultima Thule

While completing any FATE in these zones will reward you with 12 bicolor gemstones, some are easier to complete than others. FATEs that level sync you down to the relative expansions level cap will take less time to complete since you’ll be killing mobs faster – level 80 for Shadowbringers and level 90 for Endwalker.

Best FATEs To Farm

Though we may rarely have any sort of control over which FATEs show up in a zone, there are a few things you can keep in mind to speed up the bicolor gemstone farming process. We’ve already mentioned doing FATEs that sync you to the level cap, so let’s list down the FATEs that fit this description and where to find them:

Take note that lower level FATEs also spawn lower level mobs. So while all these FATEs are faster to complete than most, the level 76 or 86 FATEs would be the fastest. Also try to join FATE farming parties if you come across any, and don’t forget to have your Chocobo companion join you.

Spending Bicolor Gemstones

Gemstones earned from participating in Shared FATEs can be spent on numerous items ranging from crafting materials to minions to Chocobo bardings. There are several different NPC vendors that sell wares in exchange for bicolor gemstones, and the items available to you depend on your Shared FATE rank in the corresponding area. Here’s a list of all of these vendor NPCs and their locations:
