FFXIV: How to complete all Role Quests in Dawntrail

What role are you doing first?

Role Quests are nothing new in Final Fantasy XIV, and Dawntrail has introduced a whole new collection of them to be completed. Not only do they offer some EXP for completion, but they also provide more lore and they’re the key to unlocking mentorship

There are five individual Role Quests to be completed, all of which cater to a particular group of Jobs:

  • Tanks
  • Healers
  • Melee DPS
  • Physical Ranged DPS
  • Magical Ranged DPS

Before you can unlock the ability to complete these individual Role Quests in Dawntrail, you’ll need to meet a couple of requirements:

  • Complete the level 92 MSQ quest ‘The Feat of Pots’
  • Complete the level 90 side quest ‘Uncouth Customers’ 

Once you’ve done this, you’ll be able to find the starting quest for each Job type in Xbalyav Ty’e (X:12.6, Y:14.7), Tuliyollal. However, while all of these quests begin in the same location, you’ll have to travel all over Eorzea to complete each Jobs Role Quest every two levels. 

You’ll need to complete all of Dawntrail’s Role Quests if you want to pick up the Master Role Quests which are set to be added in patch 7.1.

Additional Role Quests in Dawntrail

As of the introduction of patch 7.16, additional Role Quests were added that can be picked up only after you’ve completed the level 100 MSQ quest “Dawntrail” and all of the previous Role Quests including the level 100 quests for each Role:

  • Dreams of a New Day (Tank)
  • An Antidote for Anarchy (Healer)
  • A Hunter True (Melee DPS)
  • The Mightiest Shield (Physical Ranged DPS)
  • Heroes and Pretenders (Magical Ranged DPS)

If all of those are checked off, you can now head back to Xbalyav Ty’e in Tuliyollal and talk to Rral Majun (X12.3, Y:14.6) to continue the Dawntrail Role Quest storyline.

There are four quests to complete in total, and they can be completed using any Job you like, rather than needing to complete them as a specific Role. Each of the four quests is relatively simple to complete, with information gathering being at the center and a surprising amount of teleporting around A Realm Reborn areas. There’s also a solo instanced battle that wraps up the storyline, so make sure to be prepared.

Here are the four level 100 quests you’ll need to complete, and where to pick them up:

QuestNPC/Location
Picking up the TorchRral Majun
Tuliyollal
(X:12.3, Y:14.6)
Imposing ViewsUnbound Agent
Ul’dah – Steps of Thal
(X:12.3, Y:11.3)
Enforcing Freedom Apyaahi
Southern Thanalan
(X:24.8, Y:39.4)
Bar the PassageRral Majun
Tuliyollal
(X:12.3, Y:14.6)

As part of completing these additional Role Quests, you’ll receive some rewards. For completing the second additional quest, “Imposing Views”, you’ll receive the Pose of the Unbound emote which is a very dramatic, ‘no photos please’ kind of action, and you’ll need it to complete the next quest. For completing all four additional quests, you’ll be rewarded with the Bright Bustle Orchestrion Roll, perfect for adding a spot of ambiance to your apartment or estate.

You’ll also get the achievement “A Passage Rebound”, which comes with the title “Sweet Justice”.
