Along with a much-needed vacation across the continent of Tural, Final Fantasy XIV’s Dawntrail expansion brings with it two more jobs for players to try out – Viper and Pictomancer. If you’re wondering where to start with them, here’s our handy guide on how to unlock Viper and Pictomancer job quests in FFXIV Dawntrail.
How to unlock the Viper job quest in FFXIV Dawntrail
If you want to try the Viper job for the first time, you will first need to find the Job Quest that will unlock it for your character. Head to Ul’dah – Steps of Nald and look for an NPC named Troubled Weaver at (X:9.3, Y:9.2), which is not far from the Main Etheryte and near the Guild of Pugilists (as seen above). There you can take and start the search named “Enter the Viper”.
The Viper job falls under the melee DPS category and will use Scout gear sets, similar to Ninja. The aforementioned quest will reward players with starting gear for Viper, and any subsequent gear can be purchased either by trading Allagan Tomestones of Aesthetic or by purchasing crafted recipe gear from the Market Board.
How to unlock Pictomancer job quest in FFXIV Dawntrail
If you are more interested in picking up a giant brush for Pictomancer, there is a specific Job Quest for that as well. Make your way to Old Gridania and look for an NPC named Joyless Listener at (X:8.0, Y:10.3), which is at The Altar of Nophica near the conjurer’s Guild (as seen above). Take the quest “The Joy of Pictomancy” of them and complete it to unlock the job for your character.
The Pictomancer job falls under the ranged magic DPS category and will use Casting gear sets, similar to jobs like Black Mage, Summoner, and Red Mage. The aforementioned quest will reward players with starting gear for a Pictomancer, and any subsequent gear can be purchased either by trading Allagan Tomestones of Aesthetic or by purchasing crafted recipe gear from the Market Board.
