Step-by-Step Instructions

The Warrior is an advanced job that evolves from the Marauder class. It was part of the original release of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.

1. Level Marauder to 30

Your first step is to level the **Marauder** class to Level 30. Marauder is a starting class available in Limsa Lominsa.

2. Complete Class Quests

You must complete all your Marauder class quests up to Level 30. The final class quest is titled "Bringing Down the Mountain". If you have not done this, the job quest will not appear.

3. Accept "Pride and Duty"

Once you have met the requirements, speak to Wyrnzoen in the Marauders' Guild in Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks (X: 11.0, Y: 6.3). He will send you to find Curious Gorge, who will teach you the ways of the Warrior.

You will be rewarded with:

Soul of the Warrior (Job Stone)
Fighter's Attire Chest (Optional Gear)

4. Equip Your Soul Crystal

Don't forget to equip the Soul of the Warrior in your equipment menu (bottom right slot). This changes your class from Marauder to Warrior and gives you access to Warrior-specific skills like Defiance and Inner Beast.

Why Play Warrior?

Warrior is a high-sustain Tank job known for its "self-healing" capabilities. It wields a Greataxe and focuses on dealing high burst damage through its "Inner Release" window. Its ability "Bloodwhetting" allows it to heal massive amounts of HP with every hit, making it incredibly durable in dungeon pulls.
