Unlocking the Red Mage Job

To unlock the Red Mage job in FFXIV, you must first reach level 50 in any Disciple of War or Magic class. Then, head to Ul'dah - Steps of Thal and speak to the NPC named Distraught Lass at (X: 14.2, Y: 11.8) to start the quest "Taking the Red". This will begin your journey as a Red Mage.
