Main Scenario Quests
- See also: Quests
Main Scenario Quests are quests that tell the main story of Final Fantasy XIV. These quests often have cutscenes and voice acting, and also unlock important features of the game: airship travel, Grand Company access, a personal chocobo mount, as well as dungeons and trials are unlocked through progression of the main questline.
Initially, the Main Scenario Quests differ depending on the player's starting city (Gridania, Limsa Lominsa, or Ul'dah). These stories converge at the quest It's Probably Pirates, and remain the same from that point onward.
Chronologically, the Main Scenario Quests are divided as follows:
- Seventh Umbral Era Quests – Level 1-50 story quests released in Patch 2.0 as part of the base game A Realm Reborn.
- Seventh Astral Era Quests – Level 50 story quests that continue the A Realm Reborn story through Patches 2.1-2.5.
- Heavensward Main Scenario Quests – Level 50-60 story quests released in Patch 3.0 with the expansion Heavensward.
- Dragonsong War Quests – Level 60 story quests that continue the Heavensward story through Patches 3.1-3.5.
- Stormblood Main Scenario Quests – Level 60-70 story quests released in Patch 4.0 with the expansion Stormblood.
- The Legend Returns Quests – Level 70 story quests that continue the Stormblood story though Patches 4.1-4.x. This is the current ongoing set of quests.
Each set of quests requires the base game and, after the Seventh Astra Era Quests, an expansion (Heavensward and/or Stormblood).
This page lists every Main Scenario Quest currently in the game.
