Final Fantasy XIVis a truly expansive MMO. There are hundreds of hours of Main Scenario Quest (MSQ) content, and that’s without counting side quests, content not related to the story, or duties outside of it. There’s a whole world to get lost in, and it can seem a bit daunting, but it’s not so bad if you break it down into manageable chunks.
Table of contents
A Realm Reborn
Between levels 1 and 15, you’ll have different quests depending on where you start your journey. You’ll need to complete 160 – 160 MSQ quests (Ul’dah gets one extra, for some reason) to get through the bulk ofARR.
Levels 15 – 20
After this point, everyone will complete the same MSQ quests regardless of their starting city state or class. From this point, I’ve noted any duties that are unlocked through the MSQ.
When it comes to “The Company You Keep”, you’ll only complete one of the quests listed below and then a specific follow-up quest, depending on which Grand Company you choose to join.
Levels 41 – 50
Post-ARR MSQ quests
The following quests were added in patches following the initial release ofA Realm Rebornand set up the story arc forHeavensward. They are all level 50 quests.
Patch 2.55 – Before the Fall (Part 2)
Heavensward
Once you’ve made it toHeavensward,you likely have a good handle on how to find your next quest, so from here on out, I’m going to drop the locations and just state the NPC who starts the quest. I’m also going to break down the quests into their individual levels to help you keep track.
There are a total of 94HeavenswardMSQ quests to get through, not including post-Heavensward story arcs.
