Hiring and Commissions
IMPORTANT NOTE: Whilst we will try to do our best for your venue or event if you are on a typically congested server then we need to discuss potential alternatives or add a surcharge if we need to park on the server well ahead of time.ALSO NOTE: Song Commissions currently closed until after December 2025.
| Type | Rate | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Band Hire | 1mil Gil per hour | Up to a maximum of 3 Hours - minimum of 1 hour. This can be in 15-minute blocks. The size of the band will depend on the venue and requirements. |
| Band Hire (Priority) | 2mil Gil per hour | Need a band on short notice? We can be hired at a higher rate on less than 72 hours' notice. |
| Band Hire (Congestion Surcharge) | 100% extra | Unfortunately, for any server that currently has a Congested server status, we will charge 100% extra since we'll need to park the band on that server during non-congested hours to ensure we are there, and this eats into our availability as we will not be able to play at other events/venues during this time. |
Regarding Song Commissions
Do note that Song Commissions will eventually be released for general public use on the FFXIV Bard Midi Library (usually in 1-3 months). You can share your commissions with your friends, but please do not release them to a public MIDI library without prior discussion.The time before general public release is for polishing/fixing the piece - any updates to such a song arrangement will be provided to the commissioner free of charge.NOTE: Currently Song Commissions are NOT open.
