FFXIV: Dawntrail Update 7.0 Patch Notes Released

Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail's Patch 7.0 Preview: New Jobs, Graphics, and More!

With early access just around the corner, Square Enix has unveiled preliminary patch notes for Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail's 7.0 update, offering a glimpse into the expansive changes awaiting players. The notes detail the locations for new job quests (Viper and Pictomancer), system adjustments, and much more.

Dawntrail, the fifth expansion to the acclaimed MMORPG, marks the beginning of a new saga following Endwalker. It also introduces the game's first significant graphical overhaul since A Realm Reborn. Players will journey to the western continent of Tural, embroiled in a succession rite, joining forces with Hrothgar Wuk Lamat, a contender for the Dawnservant title. Square Enix encourages players to be mindful of story spoilers on social media.

While the main story remains under wraps, the preliminary notes hint at exciting additions. The Arcadion raid series and Cenote Ja Ja Gural treasure dungeon will arrive in future updates. A new level 1 quest rewarding a free Fantasia potion will be accessible by speaking to the Medicine Merchant in Ul'dah – Steps of Thal (X:13.4, Y:9.2). The notes also pinpoint the starting locations for job quests: a Worried Weaver in Ul'dah – Steps of Nald (X:9.3, Y:9.2) for Viper, and a Cheerless Hearer in Old Gridania (X:8.0, Y:10.3) for Pictomancer. Various Dawntrail role quests are also mentioned, requiring progression in the main storyline.
