Final Fantasy XIV — Eorzea Ready

Duty Finder Complete Unlock Guide

Everything the MSQ didn't unlock for you. Every blue quest. Every NPC. No excuses.

Information
This area still needs to be developed further.
How Roulettes Work: Each Duty Roulette category unlocks when you meet its minimum requirement. They're in the first tab of Duty Finder. Once you've unlocked the duties below, the roulette will open automatically. Daily roulette bonuses reset at 12:00 AM JST (11am EST / 8am PST).

🎲 Leveling

✓ PROBABLY ALREADY UNLOCKED

Requires: Complete Sastasha and Tam-Tara Deepcroft (both MSQ, unlocked before level 20).

Best XP roulette for alt jobs. Run this every day.

🎲 Guildhests

✓ LIKELY UNLOCKED — CHECK

Requires: Complete the blue quest "Simply the Hest" — given by a Levemete NPC near your starting city adventurers' guild at level 10. If you skipped it, any Levemete can give it to you.

Small XP, mostly irrelevant at cap, but needed to unlock the Guildhests roulette.

🎲 Main Scenario

✓ UNLOCKED AFTER ARR MSQ

Requires: Complete Castrum Meridianum and The Praetorium (both required to finish the ARR MSQ).

Warning: these are long, cutscene-heavy duties. Watch the cutscenes on first run; most players skip them on repeats.

🎲 High-level Dungeons

⚠ NEEDS WORK

Requires: Unlock at least two level 50/60/70/80 dungeons (the optional "hard mode" and endgame dungeons from previous expansions).

These are mostly unlocked via blue quests in Mor Dhona (for lv50) and each expansion's hub. See the Dungeons tab for the full list.

🎲 Trials

⚠ PARTIALLY UNLOCKED

Requires: Unlock at least three trials. You likely have the ARR MSQ trials, but you're missing the optional ones (Leviathan, Ramuh, Shiva, and all expansion optional trials).

See the Trials tab for blue quests.

🎲 Normal Raids

⚠ NEEDS WORK

Requires: Unlock at least two normal raids from any series (Alexander, Omega, Pandaemonium, Arcadion, etc.).

Crystal Tower (Labyrinth → Syrcus → World of Darkness) is now required for Shadowbringers MSQ, so you likely have those. Each expansion's raid needs a separate blue quest unlock.

🎲 Alliance Raids

⚠ NEEDS WORK

Requires: Unlock at least two alliance raids from any series (Void Ark, Return to Ivalice, YoRHa, Myths of the Realm, Arcadion Chaotic, etc.).

None of these are MSQ — all require blue quests. See the Raids tab.

🎲 Expert (Level Cap Dungeons)

📌 ENDGAME ONLY

Requires: Be level 100 and complete all current level-cap dungeons in the Expert pool. In Dawntrail, that means completing all five Dawntrail dungeons including the optional two (Tender Valley + Strayborough Deadwalk).

Best source of current-tier Allagan Tomestones.

🎲 Frontline (PvP)

📌 SEPARATE UNLOCK

Requires: Join a Grand Company (Maelstrom, Twin Adder, or Immortal Flames — done during MSQ), then complete the blue quest "Like Civilized Men and Women" from your Grand Company headquarters.

Frontline is a 24v24v24 PvP mode. Great daily for Series EXP + Wolf Marks.

🎲 Mentor

📌 MENTOR STATUS REQUIRED

Requires: Earn Combat Mentor status — needs 1,000 player commendations, 2+ jobs at level cap, completion of specific duties. Talk to any Smith in a major city to apply once eligible.

Not a priority early. Long-term goal.

What MSQ gave you: Sastasha, Tam-Tara, Copperbell, Thousand Maws, Haukke, Brayflox, Stone Vigil, Snowcloak, Keeper of the Lake, Castrum Meridianum, Praetorium — and all expansion story dungeons. Everything below is what you're missing.

Normal Raids

The Binding Coil of Bahamut
