Final Fantasy 14's patch 5.5 introduced a new character for Custom Deliveries — Charlemend De Durandaire. Quite a few quests go into unlocking this NPC for Custom Deliveries, so let's take a look at exactly which quests you'll have to complete.

What are Custom Deliveries?

Custom Deliveries are weekly quests that you can undertake as Disciples of the Hand or Land. Essentially, they are crafting and gathering specific tasks that will ask you to deliver specific items for a reward of experience, gil, and Scrips. Doing these every week is a major source of White and Yellow Scrips, which are important for buying materials for high-level crafts.

The items you deliver as Custom Deliveries will be Collectible items. In this special form of crafting and gathering, you will have to increase the item's collectibility. Overall, the higher an item's collectibility, the higher the rewards you will receive for turning it in.

When delivering items as a Disciple of the Hand, you will craft unique items that are only used for Custom Deliveries. You can find a list of what items each NPC will ask for in the recipes menu.

Disciples of the Land will have to first head to the item's location, which can be checked on the delivery menu.

Each week, Custom Delivery NPCs will change which item they ask to be delivered. If you open the timers menu and select Custom Deliveries, you can see a detailed list of each NPC you have unlocked, what items they are requesting that week, and the rewards you will receive. Higher collectibility-rated items will grant more Scrips and experience, so always try to increase collectibility as much as possible.

You are able to make a total of twelve deliveries every week, with a maximum of six deliveries to each NPC. This means you will have to choose two different NPCs at most to deliver to. Usually, the most recently released NPC will offer the best rewards, with another NPC offering the second-best rewards. Which NPC is second-best will rotate on a weekly basis.
