FFXIV Job Unlock Quests: Monk Unlock Guide

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

Unlocking the Monk Job

To unlock the Monk job in FFXIV, you must first reach level 30 as a Pugilist and complete the class quest "Return of the Holyfist". Then, head to Ul'dah and speak to Gagaruna in the Pugilists' Guild to start the quest "Brother from Another Mother". This will begin your journey as a Monk.

You can find the Pugilists' Guild in Ul'dah - Steps of Nald (X: 9.4, Y: 10.2).

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

The Monk job was added to Final Fantasy XIV in the original release and remains a staple DPS role in the game.

First Steps as a Monk

After completing "Brother from Another Mother", you'll receive your first Monk weapon and ability. Continue the job questline to unlock more abilities and deepen your understanding of the Monk's role in dealing damage.

Engage in various quests such as "Insulted Intelligence" and "Return of the Monk" to build your skills and reputation as a Monk.

The Path of a Martial Artist

As a Monk, your primary duty is to deal damage to enemies with swift and powerful attacks. This involves using your abilities to execute complex combos and position yourself effectively in battle. Embrace your role with precision 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 Monk gear, enhancing your performance and appearance.

Why Play as a Monk?

Playing as a Monk offers an exhilarating and fast-paced DPS experience. Monks have high mobility, rapid attack speed, and intricate combo systems. If you enjoy being in the thick of battle and executing precise rotations, the Monk job is perfect for you.

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