FFXIV Endwalker: Where To Find Magical Ranged DPS Role Quests

Magical ranged DPS role quests from level 85-90 have been introduced to Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker. Unlike Shadowbringers, where similar role quests were labeled as simply “magical,” the ones within Endwalker are clarified as being “magical ranged.” This is because there are also specific physical ranged quests in Final Fantasy XIV as well.

The magical ranged DPS role quests heavily focus on the city of Ishgard after the events of Heavensward, along with some mention of the Ishgardian Restoration side quest. It is highly advised to complete several major side quests in the area to see altered custom dialogue. If it has been a few years since being the content of patch 3.0-35, it may be a good idea to review old cutscenes via the Unending Journey at any inn.

Players can undertake the magical ranged DPS quests as either a Black Mage, Summoner, or Red Mage. If selecting Summoner, keep in mind that they share all experience points with Scholar, which could cause players to be over-leveled if completing both role quests. Additionally, while Blue Mage is a caster job, it is ineligible for any role quest completion; this restriction will not be lifted even if the level cap is raised in the future.

Ishgard DPS Quests in Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker

Players must complete the level 85 main story quest ‘At World’s End‘ from the Radiant Host Soldier to unlock the role quests. The initial quest will introduce Sirabaht, who guides the foreign delegates stationed at Radz-at-Han. Magical ranged players will want to speak to the Ishgardian Delegate, who will kick off the following quest chain:

• Our Aching Souls: level 85, from Ishgardian Delegate Delegate in Radz-at-Han (x: 7.7, y: 9.4)
• No Forgiveness: level 86, from Artoirel in the Strategy Room (x: 6.1, y: 6.0)
• Only Justice, Only Vengeance: level 87, from Artoirel
• Wills Unending, Faith Unbending: level 88, from Artoirel
• O Mighty Fury, Guide Us to Victor: level 89, from Artoirel
• Ever March Heavensward: level 90, from Artoirel

Note that the Strategy Room is its own separate map, accessed by speaking to the Congregation of Our Knights Most Heavenly guard at x: 13.4, y: 11.0 in The Foundation. The majority of the quests are cutscenes explaining the circumstances in the nation. However, Ever March Heavensward players will be in an instanced combat encounter against Profaned Fafnir at the Vault. Aymeric will serve as a tank, while Artoirel and DPS players are the enemies. The fight can easily be won by concentrating attacks on minions that appear, helping Aymeric absorb damage via stacking, and avoiding other areas of effect attacks.

Dyed Caster Weapons and Armor

After completing Ever March Heavensward, talking again to the Ishgardian Delegate will unlock color dying for the level 89 magical ranged DPS Artifact weapons and armor. These can be gained for free from Vararudh in Old Sharalayan as long as players have also finished the level 89 main story quest ‘A Bold Decision.’ In addition, she offers her wares even if a job hasn’t reached level 89, allowing those to stockpile their custom gear ahead of time.

Final Fantasy XIV is available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5.
