How to Unlock the Reaper Class in Final Fantasy 14 Endwalker

Have you been craving a new Melee DPS class in Final Fantasy XIV recently? Apparently, the Endwalker extension has come up with something that can satisfy your cravings! In this guide, we’ll explain how to Unlock Reaper Class in Final Fantasy 14 Endwalker.

How to Unlock Reaper Class in Final Fantasy 14 Endwalker

Getting your hands on the coolest new class in Final Fantasy XIV requires you to fulfill a few pre-requisites.

First things first, you cannot even dream to unlock the Reaper class in Final Fantasy 14 Endwalker if you’re not at level 70. And needless to say, you need to have the Endwalker expansion of the game.

With that put aside, you now need to start The Killer Instinct quest. The quest can be started by talking to the Flustered Attendant in Ul’dah – Steps of Nald (X:12.8 Y:8.6).

You cannot begin this quest if you’re not at level 70 and have not completed a combat job at this level.

Once you begin the quest, you’ll be rewarded with the Reaper Gear. This Reaper Gear consists of Level 70 armor, a starting Level 70 weapon, and a job crystal.

Reaper Class Playstyle

Given that Reaper is a melee class, it needs to have something to help it out in long-ranged encounters. Reaper class has some of the best movement abilities in the game.

Reaper can either dash forward or jump backward. And it keeps getting better as you level up.

The movement would become even better with the help of portals later on, where you can move back and forth within an instance with the help of the portals.

While you level up, you won’t just unlock portals but also a new Shroud Gauge that’ll help you access the max potential of your moves.

Reaper also happens to be a team player. Reaper gets a buff that allows it to boost his team’s and his own attacks.

The attacks increase in strength by 3% and the buff lasts for 20 seconds.
