FFXIV Job Unlock Quests: Dark Knight Unlock Guide

In this FFXIV guide, I show how to unlock the Dark Knight Job.

Unlocking the Dark Knight Job

To unlock the Dark Knight job in FFXIV, you must first have the Heavensward expansion and reach level 50 on any Disciple of War or Magic class. Then, head to Ishgard and speak to the Ishgardian Citizen to start the quest "Our End". This will begin your journey as a Dark Knight.

You can find the Ishgardian Citizen in Ishgard - The Pillars (X: 13.2, Y: 8.8).

Follow the questline, and you'll unlock the Dark Knight job, gaining access to its abilities and equipment.

The Dark Knight job was added to Final Fantasy XIV in the Heavensward expansion and remains a popular tank role in the game.

First Steps as a Dark Knight

After completing "Our End", you'll receive your first Dark Knight weapon and ability. Continue the job questline to unlock more abilities and deepen your understanding of the Dark Knight's role in protecting your party.

Engage in various quests such as "A Pact Proven" and "Our Compromise" to build your skills and reputation as a Dark Knight.

The Path of Darkness

As a Dark Knight, your primary duty is to protect your allies and maintain enmity (aggro) on enemies. This involves using your abilities to shield your party and mitigate damage effectively. Embrace your role with honor and dedication, and you'll become a key asset in any group content in FFXIV.

As you advance, you'll unlock more powerful abilities and gain access to unique Dark Knight gear, enhancing your performance and appearance.

Why Play as a Dark Knight?

Playing as a Dark Knight offers a unique and fulfilling tanking experience. Dark Knights have strong defensive capabilities, offensive abilities, and an engaging playstyle. If you enjoy being the shield of your party and leading the charge into battle, the Dark Knight job is perfect for you.

Additionally, Dark Knights have a rich lore and a visually appealing aesthetic that many players find attractive.
