Suggestion: next quest location

We all have it in our journal, "your next (blabla) quest will be available from (your usual npc) at level X."

BUT WHERE???
Why cant it also say the location? Not asking for exact coords, just the area is enough, but pleaaaaaase, the last quest sometimes doesn't say where you last saw your npc, and since we're making everything clear and more visible, why not this??
We got a special element added, a gadget if you may, that shows our next story quest, well, I'm not asking for another thing to clutter our screen, just this:

"Your next whatever quest will be available at level xx from whoever IN JEUNO"

Thank you :)

When the next quest becomes available, there's a clickable link below your MSQ guide.

As i stated above, i dont mean main story, i mean side quests, job quests etc. I already stated what you just mentioned.

You see the second line of that feature, it's the job quest.

Ok I'll try again.
How about the journal, under completed quests, when it mentions when the next quest is available and who the issuing npc is, also tells you where that npc is?
Also Legion, which second line? Where?

I understand your question. The game assumes you remember where the last quest step ended and the journal does not state that. This may be fine for main job quests at start of expansion cycle they are in their original starting location. But if you get halfway through a quest line and stop playing that class it can be easy to forget.

We don't need the feature you're asking for because there's already a clickable link to your next job quest when it becomes available.

Having it written in the journal itself would not hurt as the poster says. I have not yet reached 80 yet but I don't recall on any other job quest there being any kind of popup for where to get the next job quest. Your highlighting the MSQ reminder, but that disappears once there are no more main story quests. If I had stopped doing gunbreaker or dancer quests at 63 and did not return until next year, would I remember their waiting in Uldah? I doubt the main scenario quest would care about that. I think that is what the poster is asking for is just clarity in journal of where the NPCs for unaccepted ongoing quests are located.

At least the information is available in-game. It wouldn't hurt to duplicate it in a more obvious spot, though.

If you don't have the MSQ guide showing, not everyone will think to turn it on when what they're looking for is a job quest rather than a main scenario quest. Of course, not everyone will think to check their last completed quest in the journal, either, but having the information both places would increase the chances of people finding it in one or the other.

So it'd still be a nice to have improvement, even if it's less necessary than it was before the MSQ guide was added.

It can disappear, if you configure it to do so. But you can also turn it back on if you want. (In fact, Rongway's image showed it with all MSQ quests complete.)

There are three main reasons why I'd like this information to be in the journal, since the game tells you anyways to check there when you complete a quest for the next one.
One, screen cluttering. I try to keep my screen clean with only relevant info to show, hence i dont even display things like gil or inventory tabs. About relevant info you might say "well this quest gadget is relevant" IF only it displayed the full info, which brings me to reason number 2.
That gadget displays one of your next job quests. I play at least one of each role, how can i see both bard and dancer?
Reason number 3, the journal is the place where all your info should be together. Thats what a journal is for. You see the things you've completed, the story and steps, people involved, etc. So, why is the location of the next quest not there? If the widget knows where the npc is, why doesn't my journal tell me?

It displays the next job quest of the job you're currently on...

... Why are you countering every time about something that wouldn't even bother you if it's added, when it can make things easier? Not asking for the gadget to be removed, why do you keep debating it when I'm giving solid reasoning for this info to be added? If you don't need this, let others who do have a voice on it? Would it change anything about your current gameplay? No? Then please let us have the chance to send this request. Thank you.

Edit: I've just reached dancer 80, where does it show my lvl80 role quest? I only completed lvl80 healer, tank and magical dos role quests, where is the physical one?

Edit 2: trying to post a screenshot with my phone but it won't show. I've switched on the msq widget and no additional quest, like my role quest, shows.

For job quests, the information is already there. In a handy clickable widget even. Also, adding the information to every single journal entry means the information is in one more set of places that needs to be checked if things change in the future, like NPCs being moved or objectives being adjusted.

Not having the role quests appear in the clicky widget is annoying; they should add those to it. It would also be nice if the MSQ guide would turn back on when you have a job quest, even if your MSQ is finished and you have it set to hide when finished.

Any time we ask for something, it's asking the devs to reallocate resources from something else. You're welcome to suggest things you want to see added. The rest of us are allowed to argue that it's a waste of resources.

The information is already there. Turn your MSQ guide back on. If you want a quick toggle for it, you can /hud "Scenario Guide"

Well, since all who argued this, are product users like me, I'd have the devs decide if its a waste of resources or not since we as players don't have power of decision in that matter. My point still stands. Widget only shows story and jobs (the latter i gratefully was corrected). If the widget can display the info, it means it's there already, in which case it can also be reflected in the journal (i repeat, its the main function of a journal to show all info related to a subject), widgets should be optional, not a main source.
Again, if this petition doesn't impact your game play, it's rather pointless to keep denying me this wish. Unless i was replying to someone from the dev team of course, then my apologies.
