-QT builds it's quest tables by using in-game quest data provided by Square Enix and Minion reversed functions that can query the completion or in-progress state of quests, allowing quests to be filtered into three bins - completed, current, and uninitiated. The completed and current quest information should be accurate, but the uninitiated quest information has a few quirks.  First, while it will show you quests that you haven't yet started, that information will include quests you may not be able to start - such as the quests associated with the Grand Companies in which you are not a member, or quests associated with seasonal and special events. Also, there may be additional requirements to start uninitiated quests other than just having completed previous quests.  This is where using the feature to display the gamerescape.com information is very helpful, as it will typically identify what those additional requirements are.+QT builds its quest tables by using in-game quest data provided by Square Enix and Minion reversed functions that can query the completion or in-progress state of quests, allowing quests to be filtered into three bins - completed, current, and uninitiated.

 This tab displays a table of all the quests you have not yet started. Everything works exactly the same as it does for the Completed Tab. While you can get the information provided by the Completed and Current tabs using the in-game journal (albeit not quite as conveniently as you can using QT), you cannot get information about what quests you haven't yet started from the game. So if you are a completionist, this is likely where you will spend most of your time when using QT.  It will greatly help you understand what quests you need to work towards completing.  In some cases, you can get those quests going immediately, especially if you haven't completed many.  But as you whittle down the easy ones, you will inevitably wind up having to sift through a lot of information to determine when a quest is available and what you need to do to unlock it.  This is where the gamerescape.com information can be very helpful - keeping in mind the limitations I have already covered. This tab displays a table of all the quests you have not yet started.
