Where to unlock Viper in FFXIV
To unlock the Viper job in Final Fantasy XIV, players must first own the Dawntrail expansion and have a combat class or job at level 80. The unlocking quest, “Enter the Viper,” begins in Ul’dah at the Steps of Nald, where players need to speak with an NPC named Worried Weaver located at coordinates (X:9.3, Y:9.2). After accepting the quest, players will interact with a character called Keshkwa near the Weaver’s Guild (X:13.0, Y:12.2) and follow him to Camp Drybone in Eastern Thanalan (X:13.3, Y:23.8). Completing this quest rewards players with the Viper’s Soul Crystal, weapons, and gear, officially unlocking the melee DPS job that uses dual blades.
Viper unlocks via a quest in Ul’dah. Before you head there, you’ll want to make sure you have met the following prerequisites:
- You have one combat job at level 80 or higher.
- You own the Dawntrail expansion.
Once you meet those two requirements, head over to Ul’dah, Steps of Nald and talk to the Worried Weaver NPC at the location below to accept the quest “Enter the Viper.”
After finishing this quest, you’ll be able to equip your job stone and Viper blades to play as the new melee DPS job.
While the quest will give you some passable gear, if you want to be suited up properly for your new journey, consider picking up Augmented Cryptlurker gear from Aymark in Eulmore or Mowen’s Merchant in the Crystarium in exchange for Allagan Tomestones of Poetics. Vipers use scouting gear (the same gear that Ninjas use).
