How to unlock Viper and Pictomancer job quests in FFXIV Dawntrail (Map)

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 get started with them, here's our handy guide for 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 out the Viper job for the first time, you'll first need to find the Job Quest that will unlock it for your character. Head to Ul'dah - Steps of Nald and seek out an NPC named Worried Weaver at (X:9.3, Y:9.2), which is not far from the Main Aetheryte and near the Pugilists' Guild (as seen above). There you can pick up and start the quest called "Enter the Viper".

The Viper job falls under the melee DPS category and will use Scouting gear sets, similar to Ninja. The aforementioned quest will reward players with a starting gear set for Viper, and any subsequent gear can be purchased either by exchanging Allagan Tomestones of Aesthetic or by purchasing crafted recipe gear off the Market Board.

How to unlock Pictomancer job quest in FFXIV Dawntrail

If you're more interested in picking up a giant paintbrush for Pictomancer, there is a specific Job Quest for that one as well. Make your way to Old Gridania and look for an NPC named Cheerless Hearer at (X:8.0, Y:10.3), which is at Nophica's Altar near the Conjurer's Guild (as seen above). Pick up the quest "The Joy of Pictomancy" from them and complete it to unlock the job for your character.

The Pictomancer job falls under the ranged magical 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 a starting gear set for Pictomancer, and any subsequent gear can be purchased either by exchanging Allagan Tomestones of Aesthetic or by purchasing crafted recipe gear off the Market Board.
