Pictomancer is one of two new classes you can unlock in Final Fantasy XIV with the addition of the Dawntrail expansion. For those looking to unlock the power of using pictures and paintings to defeat enemies, the Pictomancer is the class for you.
How to Unlock the Viper and Pictomancer in FFXIV Dawntrail
It’s a ranged DPS class that uses magic against enemies. The images the Pictomancer creates grant them a variety of buffs and damage to enemies during combat. As you might expect, there’s a specific way to unlock the Pictomancer class in Final Fantasy XIV, and it’s something you can miss out on if you don’t put in the effort.
The way to unlock Pictomancer is to make sure you have access to Dawntrail, which is a required expansion for your Final Fantasy XIV account. Without access to this content, the quest will remain inaccessible to you and you will not be able to teach it to your Warrior of Light. Once you add it to your account, there is a specific quest that you will need to track down and start.
The quest you need to find is called The Joy of Pictomancy, which comes from the Cheerless Hearer NPC. You can find them in Old Gridania, and they are located at the coordinates (X:8.0, Y:10.3). After talking to them, follow the quest steps to proceed, and when you reach the end, you should be able to use Warrior of Light Pictomancy as their primary class.
