There are five individual Role Quests to be completed, all of which cater to a particular group of Jobs:

  • Tanks
  • Healers
  • Melee DPS
  • Physical Ranged DPS
  • Magical Ranged DPS

Before you can unlock the ability to complete these individual Role Quests in Dawntrail, you’ll need to meet a couple of requirements:

  • Complete the level 92 MSQ quest ‘The Feat of Pots’
  • Complete the level 90 side quest ‘Uncouth Customers’ 

Once you’ve done this, you’ll be able to find the starting quest for each Job type in Xbalyav Ty’e (X:12.6, Y:14.7), Tuliyollal. However, while all of these quests begin in the same location, you’ll have to travel all over Eorzea to complete each Jobs Role Quests every two levels. 

You’ll need to complete all of Dawntrail’s Role Quests if you want to pick up the Master Role Quests which are set to be added in patch 7.1.
