How Dungeon Unlocks Work in FFXIV

Dungeons unlock through one of two paths.

Main Scenario Quest (MSQ) — These dungeons are required to advance the story. You cannot skip them or access later content without completing them. They unlock automatically as you progress through the MSQ.

Side Quests — Optional dungeons unlock through blue quests marked with a + icon. Most require you to have reached a certain point in the MSQ before the unlock quest becomes available, even if they are not themselves required.

All dungeons can be run with a full party via Duty Finder, or solo using the Trust system (Shadowbringers MSQ dungeons) or Duty Support system (Endwalker and Dawntrail MSQ dungeons), which lets you clear them with NPC companions at any time.
