what happened to the big list of main scenario quests? :( its gone? The preceding unsigned comment was added by Look (talk).

I figured that it served the same purpose as Quest#MainScenarioQuests, now linked as Main Scenario Quests, since it just linked to the same sections (Seventh Umbral, Seventh Astral, etc). But if people like one big list it can be brought back like that. Was just trying to minimize the number of redundant pages. The preceding unsigned comment was added by RequiemTempest (talkcontribs).
It's back now, just needs to be formatted a bit! The preceding unsigned comment was added by RequiemTempest (talkcontribs).
Thank you,

I like it because it helped me keep track of where I was in the main story in relation to my friends since its my first time going through The preceding unsigned comment was added by Look (talk).

No problem! :) Sorry about that, I understand what you mean! It's missing a few details at the moment since the quests themselves haven't been updated with the new quest infoboxes, but hopefully it still serves your needs! The preceding unsigned comment was added by RequiemTempest (talkcontribs).
Can the actual numbers be added back in to this new view? I like being able to do quick math to figure out how many quests I have left in an entire expansion instead of having to count the number of quests in each block for each patch and then add those up.

For those who want to see the old version of this page before the forward-moving changes, https://web.archive.org/web/20171009215243/https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Main_Scenario_Quests The preceding unsigned comment was added by DSDistorted (talk).
I went ahead and recreated the old lists based on DSDistorted link. It's listed on the MSQ main page now. Valento (talk) 07:27, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

I hate this new format so much I actually created an account JUST to come tell you...

There is a reason I always came to THIS list and not all the ones on other sites that were silly long linear things. This one was SO much easier to follow, understand, track, and read. Now I am forced to use Waybackmachine to view the previous page, I simply cannot state how much I hate the new one. Put it back already? Please and thank you!

You can view the old list at Main Scenario Quests/Historical. I know this doesn't solve the whole problem, but hopefully this works for now. RequiemTempest (talk) 04:56, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

THANK YOU! That is better at least! :):):)

Removed Item Rewards

I noticed that as the quests are being updated, the list is getting longer, and as of yesterday a good portion of the Stormblood quests were no longer showing due to too many templates being used at once. For now, I've removed the item rewards (but kept the unlocks) and it seems to be fine again. I don't want to touch it more than that, and hopefully that doesn't cause more issues, I just figured seeing the quests was more important at the moment.

Quests removed in patch 5.3

We currently have some kind of extra text to flag quests that have been removed with patch 5.3

Shouldn't we split the tables with the current (aka latest patch) state and an extra table just below with some explanation ? Like:

Quest Type Level Quest Giver Unlocks
Close to Home Main Scenario quest 1 Mother Miounne Return.png  Return
To the Bannock Main Scenario quest 4 Mother Miounne
Passing Muster Main Scenario quest 5 Galfrid
Chasing Shadows Main Scenario quest 5 Galfrid
Eggs over Queasy Main Scenario quest 7 Galfrid
Surveying the Damage Main Scenario quest 8 Monranguin
A Soldier's Breakfast Main Scenario quest 9 Pauline

Following quests have been removed as of Patch 5.3

Quest Type Level Quest Giver Unlocks
An Eft for Effort Main Scenario quest 6 Galfrid
Butcher of Greentear Main Scenario quest 9 Pauline

In the quest page itself, we could modify the prev/next quest links pointing toward removed quests, while the removed quest page keeps the former links (prev/next) for historical purpose (ie "where this quest was placed in the quest line").

Quests

In level 50 Quest Rock the Castrum, this wiki states that Raubahn gives the quest when in fact, Edelstein gives the quest. Should probably update to avoid confusion Tteet (talk) 22:23, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Crystal Tower MSQ lock

Not sure where this would fit exactly, but there are new, as of some months ago IIUC, that lock players from continuing the MSQ without doing all the Crystal Tower raids.

If you are going thru the MSQ now, you are blocked at "A time for every purpose". If you had previously passed that point, I am told there is another block later on, but I don't know where exactly. If someone with more knowledge could put a note in there somewhere, I think it would help players avoid the frustration I had. Thanks!

Splitting up page

This page and its load times are getting really long. Eventually it'll probably exceed the max total template size as well. I suggest splitting up into MSQ listed per expansion and its corresponding patches. - Dr Agon (talk) 05:34, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
