Square Enix shared the preliminary 6.4 Final Fantasy XIV patch notes, which spend time going over some of the new story quest, sidequest, dungeon, trial, and raid details. As this is just an initial overview, not every detail is there. For example, there is information about some quests and new dungeons and trials. However, specifics for job changes and other alterations don’t come up yet. Those appear closer to launch.
The 6.4 Final Fantasy XIV patch notes start by going over details about new quests. The new Main Scenario Quests kick off with “Currying Flavor.” You’ll need to be a Disciple of War or Magic at level 90 who finished “Gods Revel, Lands Tremble” to take part. If you have, then you can visit Varshahn at Radz-at-Han (X:4.4 Y:9.8) to start it. It’s the first of nine new quests. If you beat Chronicles of a New Era’s “Truth Imperfect,” you can continue that storyline with “Eater of Souls.” People who meet the Disciple of War or Magic requirement can meet Ruissenaud at Labyrinthos (X:8.6 Y:27.5) to start the first of five new quests. There are also three new. Tataru’s Grand Endeavor quests, which begin with “Aggressive Expansion.” That requires you to finish both the “previous quest in that line “Small Business, Big Dreams” and the Chronicles of a New Era one “Forever at Your Side.”
While it doesn’t get into exact job changes yet, the Final Fantasy XIV patch notes for 6.4 do talk about some dungeon, trial, and raid details. The Aetherfont is going to be a new dungeon for ideally a group of four Disciple of War or Magic level 90 players who also have an item level of at least 605. You also have 90 minutes to finish it. As for the Golbez The Voidcast Dais Trial, we now know it has an average item level of 615 or higher, is for eight people who are at level 90, and needs to be done within 60 minutes on standard. For the Extreme version, the recommended average item level is at least 630. Like the Trial, the Pandæmonium: Anabaseios Raid has the same level 615 average item level requirement and allows an eight player party of people at level 90. It also has a 90 minute time limit and requires you to beat Chronicles of a New Era’s “Eater of Souls.”
Final Fantasy XIV is immediately available on PC, PS4, and PS5, and patch 6.4 will release on May 23, 2023.
