How to complete Pictomancer job quests in Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail Square Enix\/DexertoThe Pictomancer job in Final Fantasy XIV\u2019s Dawntrail expansion has its own series of quests, where you uncover secrets about using magical paint to create new life. The Pictomancer is a new Magical Ranged DPS class introduced in Dawntrail. Once you purchase the expansion, all you need to do is have a Disciple of War or Disciple of Magic job at level 80 to start pursuing the path of the Pictomancer. You can also complete Pictomancer-specific missions that exist outside of the MSQ, though these are solo affairs. Here\u2019s everything you need to know about the Pictomancer\u2019s quests in Dawntrail: All Pictomancer job quests in Final Fantasy 14 The Joy of Pictomancy To unlock The Joy of Pictomancy, you must have a Disciple of War or Disciple of Magic job at level 80. Then, go to Old Gridania, visit coordinates X:8.0 Y:10.3, and speak to the NPC called \u201cCheerless Hearer.\u201d This quest involves speaking to a Moogle called Kupoko in New Gridania, who is a major character in the Pictomancer quest. You\u2019ll have to complete an interview (the answers don\u2019t matter), and you\u2019ll be given the Pictomancer job. Just switch out whatever weapon you\u2019re using for a paintbrush to turn into a Pictomancer. Mind Over Manor To start the quest, switch to the Pictomancer job (which starts at level 80) and speak to the Cheerless Hearer in New Gridania at coordinates X: 8.0 Y: 10.2 The solo Duty acts as a tutorial for the Pictomancer\u2019s powers. Talk to Kupoko again to finish the quest. Perspectives Over Pursuit To unlock Perspectives Over Pursuit, you must reach Level 83 as a Pictomancer. Speak to Kupopo near Black Boat Gate in New Gridania at co-ordinates X: 11.7 Y: 4.4 Once you\u2019ve spoken to Kupopo, teleport to Camp Dragonhead and speak to the \u201cBright-Eyed Knight\u201d NPC at coordinates X: 26.0 Y: 15.6. Then, head to Providence Point and survey the three marked locations on the map. You\u2019ll then be prompted to head northwest to a red circle on the map near The Weeping Saint. Once you arrive, you\u2019ll have to kill a hartebeast and take its horn. Just keep your distance and use Smudge and Tempara Coat to reduce its damage. Then, return to Camp Dragonhead and give the monster\u2019s horn to the Cheerless Hearer. The Crate Beyond To unlock The Crate Beyond you must reach Level 85 as a Pictomancer. Speak to Kupopo at Camp Dragonhead at coordinates X:25.8, Y:16.4.2. Teleport to Kugane from the Stormblood expansion and use the Kupopo-sized sack at coordinates X: 13.3 Y: 9.7. Then, teleport to Tamamizu and head south to Sakazaki. Speak to the Cheery Confederate in the center of the island. Two red circles will appear outside of Sakazaki. They contain three glowing purple icons labeled \u201cCrab-worthy Crag.\u201d Use ogre crab bait at each location and kill the enemies that spawn. Return to the Cheey Confederate Return to Kugane and speak to Aidless Trader at coordinates X: 13.3 Y: 9.7 to complete the quest. Beruru\u2019s Clues To unlock Beruru\u2019s Clues you must reach Level 88 as a Pictomancer. Speak to Kupopo in Kugane at coordinates X: 13.3 Y: 9.7. Teleport to the Aetheryte Plaza at the Steps of Ul\u2019dah and use the Kupopo-sized bag on the location marked on the map just outside of the crystal chamber. Then, go to coordinates X: 8.1 Y: 12.1 and speak to the Ordained Nald\u2019thal Priest. Teleport to Black Brush Station and head to the red circle marked on the map. You\u2019ll have to defeat several waves of Rampaging Zombies, but these are incredibly easy to defeat. Just make sure to have all of your Canvases prepped as you enter the battle and use the Hammer Pictomancer job abilities to make the most of the enemy\u2019s packed line-up. Return to the Ordained Nald\u2019thal Priest in Ul\u2019dah to see a cutscene, then talk to Kupopo to end the quest. Somewhere Only She Knows To unlock Somewhere Only She Knows you must reach Level 90 as a Pictomancer. Go to The Black Shroud and speak to Kupopo at coordinates X: 21.7 Y: 18.7 to start the quest. Once you speak to Kupopo, you\u2019ll be thrown into a Solo Duty within a painting world. This involves fighting several easy mobs (especially if you have the Pictomancer\u2019s rotations down), leading to a much harder boss fight against Janquetilaque\u2019s Portrait (detailed below). Once you\u2019ve beaten the boss, you\u2019ll return to the same spot in the overworld, where you can talk to Beruru to finish the Pictomancer\u2019s job quest line. Janquetilaque\u2019s Portrait boss guide As Janquetilaque\u2019s Portrait is a solo Duty, you won\u2019t have access to Limit Breaks. You also can\u2019t rely on your Tank and Healer friends to bail you out when you\u2019re in trouble. Fortunately, the Pictomancer job gives you all of the tools you need to complete this quest. You must make use of your defensive options in this battle Smudge will let you dash in a single direction, which is essential for getting out of the boss\u2019 bigger AoE attacks, while Tempera Grassa and Coat can absord damage. Janquetilaque\u2019s Portrait will summon a plant creature with an AoE attack that fills the room except where it\u2019s standing. When it\u2019s summoned, immediately dash or Smudge your way over to the creature to escape the attack. Janquetilaque\u2019s Portrait can summon a golem-like creature made of earth. This has three tiers of AoE effects for its attack. However, it doesn\u2019t cover the whole field, so run or Smudge in the opposite direction from it to avoid the effect. If Janquetilaque\u2019s Portrait summons a blue line with arrows in the center of the field, the next attack will be a wave of lines that come out of the middle of the room. Simply get close to a line and run through the moment the attack ends to get to safety. Along with regular ranged spell attacks, Janquetilaque\u2019s Portrait has a fiery wave that hits the whole field and an AoE with a gap near his body. The first hit can\u2019t be avoided (but it\u2019s low damage) and the second one only involves running close to him to avoid the effect, and then running to the side to avoid the second hit. Throughout the battle, keep kiting Janquetilaque\u2019s Portrait and switching between your standard Canvas and spell rotations. Just keep hitting him, absorbing damage via Tempera Grassa, and avoiding the AoE effects. Are you visiting Tural for the first time?
