New Jobs

Patch 7.0 is introducing the Viper and Pictomancer jobs to Final Fantasy XIV. It’s worth noting that you don’t need to be doing the Dawntrail story to pick these classes up, but you do need to own the Dawntrail expansion if you want to pick them up. You’ll be able to find Viper’s starting quest in Ul’Dah and Pictomancer’s in Old Gridania.
