Complete FFXIV MSQ (Main Scenario Quest) list (7.1)

Each major FFXIV patch brings with it a series of MSQ — Main Scenario Quests that players need to undertake if they want to progress in the game. After all, you cannot get to the next expansion — whenever that happens — if you haven’t completed all of the current Main Scenario Quests. You’ll be stuck exactly where you are. However, the game does give you a handy icon that shows the current quest you’re on. If you click on it, you can even see where it is located in the world.

For that reason, we’re not going to show the coordinates/et cetera for these quests. It’s incredibly easy to see where you're at in-game by clicking the “Next Main Scenario Quest icon” within FFXIV — it’ll show your current MSQ. This current list goes as far as update 7.1, but we’ll add to this once more updates hit.

All MSQ available in FFXIV as of update 7.1

No matter where you start in FFXIV, you’ll find yourself in Gridania, Limsa Lominsa, or Ul’dah and will have to take up those MSQ missions. Eventually, you’ll leave your home territory, and branch out to the other regions. Don’t worry about being under-leveled, as that rarely happens, especially if you start doing Roulettes once they unlock.

The FFXIV MSQ always begins in one of the three cities (Image via Square Enix)

You’ll occasionally have to fight the various big bosses, too — Titan, Leviathan, Shiva, and go through a handful of dungeons. These are required, but they aren’t incredibly challenging, as far as FFXIV’s MSQ goes.

Once you’ve completed Before the Dawn, you can begin the Heavensward quests in the FFXIV MSQ saga. You have to be at least level 50 to begin these quests, but that shouldn't be a problem by this point. We’ll break the quests down into groups, by level, so it’s easy to see where you should be as you go through Ishgard and beyond.

Fly Free, My Pretty wraps up patch 3.56 of FFXIV and ends the Heavensward MSQ. From there on, you begin the Stormblood expansion — seen by many as the “anime filler arc” of Final Fantasy XIV.

After the MSQ of Shadowbringers, we get ready to go to the moon in FFXIV (Image via Square Enix)

A Requiem for Heroes was the final Stormblood expansion quest and led directly into The Syrus Trench — the first major MSQ for FFXIV Shadowbringers. It was up to the player to embrace the role of Warrior of Darkness, instead of Warrior of Light, and solve the problems of this strange new place. This was one of the most fondly remembered series of MSQ in the game so far.
