No matter what class you originally chose inFinal Fantasy XIV, you’ll need to complete Class and Job Quests to progress and learn new skills, and even your Job Stone. As you unlock new Jobs, you’ll need to complete even more quests, and it’s very easy to lose track of where you’re supposed to be.

In the interests of full disclosure, and to hopefully prevent others from making the same mistake that I did back when I originally played, it’s vitally important that you complete your Class or Job Quests when they become available. Not only do they allow you to progress from a base class (such as Gladiator) to the Job equivalent (in this case, Paladin), but they also unlock new skills that you’re definitely going to need.

It’s very easy to lose track of your Job Quests, especially if you’re leveling multiple Jobs at once. Here’s every Job Quest for every Job inFFXIV, including later additions.I’m only going to provide the location for the initial unlock quest for each Job, but to find the location for your next quest on any Job, click on the quest under theMSQ questbar to be shown the location on the map.

A Realm Reborn Classes

Classes that were available to play in A Realm Reborn have their quests split up into both different types — Class and Job Quests. Until you hit level 30, you’ll be completing Class Quests, and then you’ll have an additional level 30 quest to complete that will unlock yourJob Stoneand allow you to progress to your Job Quests.

It goes without saying that A Realm Reborn classes have a lot more quests to complete than any other, as more have been added in further expansions.
