Step-by-Step Instructions

The Reaper is a Melee DPS job introduced in the Endwalker expansion. It starts immediately at Level 70 and does not require a base class.

1. Reach Level 70

You must reach **Level 70** with any other Disciple of War or Magic job. You also need to have purchased the Endwalker or Dawntrail expansion on your account.

2. Locate the Flustered Attendant

Teleport to the main Aetheryte in **Ul'dah - Steps of Nald**. The NPC **Flustered Attendant** is located just outside the Quicksand adventurer's guild at coordinates **X: 12.8, Y: 8.6**.

3. Accept "The Killer Instinct"

Speak to the NPC to accept the quest. You will be hired to protect a Garlean family, which leads you to meet your mentor, Drusilla.

You will be rewarded with:

Soul of the Reaper (Job Stone)
Deepgold War Scythe (Level 70 Weapon)
Maiming Attire Coffer (Level 70 Gear)

4. Equip Your Soul Crystal

Equip the **Soul of the Reaper** and the Scythe to officially switch your job. You can now open the Attire Coffer to get your starting gear.

Why Play Reaper?

Reaper is a stylish and hard-hitting Melee DPS that wields a two-handed scythe. It builds up a "Shroud" gauge to summon a void avatar for rapid, powerful attacks. It offers high personal damage and brings the "Arcane Circle" buff to increase the party's damage output.
