Viper is one of the two latest jobs to be added to FFXIV with the release of the new expansion, Dawntrail. Compared to the Pictomancer, Viper is vastly different. They are a melee DPS class focusing on agility and dual-wielding weapons to deal damage. If you want to know how to unlock a new job from Dawntrail, here is everything you need to know about how to meet the prerequisites.
How to Unlock Viper in FFXIV Dawntrail
First and foremost, there are two steps you need to take before you can even think about finding the quest to unlock Viper.
- You have to reach level 80 with another Combat Class or Job
- Own the Dawntrail expansion
Once you have met these requirements, you’ll want to head to Ul’dah’s Steps of Nald. When you arrive, head to (X: 9.3, Y: 9.2), where you will find an NPC called Worried Weaver. Pick up the quest from them titled Enter the Viper.
You will then need to find a man who calls himself the Viper. His actual name is Keshkwa, and he can be found outside the Weaver’s Guild in the Steps of Thal. Specifically, you can find him at these coordinates (X:13.0, Y:12.2).
Once you have helped him resolve his issue regarding commerce, Keskwa will ask you to accompany him to Camp Drybone in Eastern Thanalan, where you can speak to him again at (X: 13.3 Y: 23.8).
This is where Keshkwa will show off the abilities of the Viper before he takes you back to Ul’dah. Once there, head back to the Weaver’s Guild and speak to Keshkwa for the final time, where you’ll be given a Soul Crystal, the Viper weapons, and a coffer of gear.
That’s everything you need to know about how to unlock the brand-new Viper job in Dawntrail. Make sure to have a trial of your abilities and get some practice with this high-agility fighter before attempting high-level content.
