There are a lot of icons in FFXIV. While over time they become recognizable, it is not always readily apparent what they represent. This dictionary aims to "define" the more common icons seen in the game. This is not a comprehensive or exhaustive list, so please do not take it as such.

Quests

Quest Types

	Main Scenario quests tell the main, continuing story, related to A Realm Reborn, Heavensward, Stormblood, Shadowbringers, and Endwalker. It is a relatively linear storyline. See Main Scenario Quest for details.
	Sidequests are quests undertaken for various NPCs around Eorzea, and are, by definition, not part of the Main Scenario quests. They are often single quests, but in certain instances there is a short (generally less than 5) quest progression. Some sidequests have class or job requirements in addition to the always present level requirement. They generally require battle disciplines to complete. See Sidequests for more information.
	Levequests (sometimes called Guildleves) are repeatable quests issued by the Adventurers' Guild or a Grand Company, meaning they are all acquired through a limited number of NPCs. Only a certain number can be completed at one time, and additional allotments are replenished over time. Levequests are issued to not only battle classes, but also to crafters and gatherers. See Levequest for more information.
	Guildhests are a limited series of group quests, often intended to focus on certain skills or techniques. They can be accessed via the duty finder.
	These icons indicate that you can talk to an NPC for information, but are not necessarily related to quests. (They started being used as of patch 5.4, but were previously dormant in the game files.)
	These icons are not necessarily related to quests, but are rather related to the Hall of the Novice, which uses a quest/duty-like system.
	These icons indicate that a new feature (such as new job/class ability, new Duty, etc...) will be rewarded upon completion.
