FFXIV Dungeon Unlock Guide

A complete directory of every dungeon unlock quest and requirement in the game.

In Final Fantasy XIV, dungeons are broadly split into two categories: MSQ Dungeons (unlocked automatically through the main story) and Optional Dungeons (unlocked via blue "plus" quests). Completion of optional dungeons is often required to unlock the Expert Roulette.

Example: Unlocking Neverreap

Many endgame dungeons can only be accessed after finishing the base expansion's story. For example, to unlock Neverreap at Level 60:

  • Quest: "Reap What You Sow"
  • Location: Sea of Clouds (X:11.7, Y:14.8)
  • NPC: Sanu Vanu
  • Requirement: Complete MSQ "Heavensward" and have flying unlocked in Sea of Clouds.
