Today I go through my daily tasks in FFXIV. I’m not sure how different mine is than anyone else’s, but this is the route I take every time I log onto the game unless I have something specific to do! Either way, I normally end up doing all of these things at some point! That’s the nature of an mmo most of the time, so please tell me what your daily routine looks like in the comment section!
If you are new to FFXIV, feel free to check out more of my videos! In some of them I talk about why I love Final Fantasy, or I even give beginner tips to help you with your journey through FF14!

Congrats on the subs. For island sanctuary there are a few guides on how to level and thigns to look out for. For island you only need to check it daily for the first few ranks but after you can automate some of the things. Hope you enjoy your time in the sanctuary.
As for things you could do, there are hunts and hunt trains, those can be useful to get some glams and a few hunt exclusives. At the very least try to do the ARR hunts, because you get allied seals which you can trade for free teleport tickets. They're a blessing when you need to go to far places often.
Congrats on the subs! It actually is useful to gear up your retainers if you're wanting minions from them since some minions only come from retainer ventures (you can sell them on the MB though, so you can also just wait until the prices go down on them on the MB to buy them outright). Fashion report is available to "present yourself for judging" on Friday and resets on Tuesdays at midnight (so basically you have the weekend plus Monday to do Fashion Report). Also good luck on Island Sanctuary! I just decided to actually start mine (after visiting it once on release and forgetting it). It's grindy but if I may offer some tips that I've learned so far; open up graineries and workshops as soon as you are able and have them doing stuff. Always set one of your workshop rest days to Tuesday (that's reset for the supply and demand items so you can check online and see what's best to have them working on all week with a google search or by checking on Overseas Casuals discord if you're into using discord), and don't spend cowries on anything but island improvements at first. Glams are cute, but it's really easy to get walled behind a cowrie blockade especially at the beginning if you're not spending them wisely. Otherwise have fun and enjoy your time with Floof and Crabby and the many more animals you're likely to add to your little farm!
Well I see a Hrothgar and I sub. Big nice furry lion is nice to watch.
Sometimes the retainers bring back a fat cat for two or three days in a row. Sometimes they bring back a SINGLE. ICE. CRYSTAL.
There is a thing somewhere in you selection menu that you can check timers, specially the doman enclave one
I'm on the free trial but I do my all my roulettes every day I also try and do the beast tribe quest every day but i forget a lot about them lol
Interesting to see how people do things are an individual rather than a "here's what you should do" sorta thing. Some helpful things to add onto this one day for you or others are
Hunts – This normally you'd need to go into a Discord server for your Data Center, but these are really good for tomes and hunt currency for some neat items! Easily one of the best ways to get Materia as well. Also just a really fun social experiance and wonderful having 100-200+ mounts flying towards a woodland creature to kill it together. You do need to go through a small questline which is effectively just a level check. There are two main ranks to care about, A Ranks, which spawn every few hours and are 2 per zone. This leads to "Hunt Trains" where a few times a day, a world goes through all the zones killing all 12 or so marks. And S Ranks which take a few days to respawn and have some… weird spawn conditions. But it gives you a LOT of currencies.
PvP/Frontlines Daily – With the Series rewards too this is important to do for the XP for the glam, minions etc!! But Wolf Marks let you get some nice glams, and it gives you a LOT more EXP then one would think for leveling (Tip, if you are comfortable on one job in PvP but want to level another job, you can queue as the job you want to level, but swap jobs in the match and still get EXP on what you joind on!
Tribe Quests – Normally need an unlock but its good for EXP especially in ShB/EW. But since it resets at 10AM EST/7AM PST its good to just get them unlocked so you can level them up. There are lots of little rewards that are neat, and once all beast tribes are done there is an extra quest for more rewards (unless its ShB for some reason,,,) So just chip away at them now rather than wanting to do them but getting time gated later.
Those are like the big 3 things that are important to start, the earlier the better! Especially hunts those are such a fun thing to meet some people
You can actually click on the Doman Restoration thing in the timers menu. Shows how much you can still donate that week, I believe.
I use a spinny wheel to select role to focus on for roulette and beast tribes of their level then do best tribes for another job for the xp. Depending on the day I'll do my retainers and crafting leves/gathering for said leves
A great video, keep up the good work my dude!
As for my daily routine, it depends honestly. If I'm working on some quests, I finish what I've started. If I'm leveling a class, I try to get it to level 60. One thing that's consistent is the Gold Saucer. Gotta get that sweet MGP! I also save the fashion challange and the jumbo cactpot for the weekends since the cactpot results are every Saturday for me, so I figured I'd group the Fashion Challange and the cactpot together. Of course, I also can't forget about the daily roulette. But which one I do depends on what I need. If I need GC seals, leveling. If I need tomestones, MSQ. (Unlike most people, I can sit through the cutscenes since it gives me some time to chill between fighting XD)
Because of life, I can only do Alliance and MSQ roulettes. Beast tribes too while waiting in queue for those roulettes.
Personally, I do Retainers, mini Cacpot, Island, Frontlines, and Omicron dailies.
Frontlines gives you exp for whatever job you log in as, but you can change your job once you get in, and will still get the xp for the original job, not to mention the pvp rewards. Omicron dailies are easy ways to get gathering materia, which sells for a lot
Fashion report is on fridays!!
I have gotten a several expensive materials, glam pieces, and furniture items from retainer quick expeditions. Also I just bought my retainers allagan tomestone gear XD
View donation status for Doma enclave? CLICK ON IT 😀
Doman enclave is weekly, same with custom delivery, i recommend you do them on Tuesday. Same with the weekly locked raid drops for gear. For ventures there is a small chance to get something good, the better the gear they have but you will probably not get the gear back, mine get hand me downs from my other jobs when i upgrade, however the gear i gave them is bis pentamelded gear usually, on the mb the gathering gear would cost you around 6-10 mil gil, maybe even more. it increases the chances of getting more but not by a lot, the best use for retainers is to send them on 1 hr ventures, those can get you some 100k gil items sometimes. Also for maps, don't get single player, waste of money, always get the 8man map and sell it. You get around 40-50k for a current map sold, and some older maps go for even more, you should check the mb each day to which one sells the best and go get it. Oh also do PvP roulette, gives best XP in game.
Well it's never happened for me but my brother said he's gotten furniture or minions from retainers not sure what exactly he got as he hasn't been on in forever lol. Also congrats on the subs! ^^
While you are online, the short ventures (1h – Quick Exploration) are way more profitable than the long ones. They long ones are okay for when you are done for the day, but I hardly bother as the short ventures are so much better. Best to do it in the city of your grand company as you run through venture coins like no ones buisness. But the gear you can't sell you can hand in at your grand company and it is way, way more than enough to pay for more venture coins.
My retainer got me a shell leather before but it’s only been 1 time lol
I would say if you just really really /really/ dont want to do a roullette or play a certain job you've unlocked just run around and do side quests! I've personally cleared all of Shroud, Thanalan, La Noscea and Coerthas Central and its made the map so much cleaner for me ;w;
How did you made your HUD have this ''square'' look?
I love that so many ff14 youtubers agree that /wringhands is the emote to use when shilling your channel. Cause Hancock.
oh gawd i just want to hug you <3
some timers have a little note icon on the right which means you can click them for more info.
retainer quick explorations have chances to bring you furniture, glams or venture coffers (on max lvl) which contain any of the rainbow dyes or a retainer fantasia and besides that they'll get you dungeon gear you can trade for gc seals for more venture coins or mats 😉
the gil rewards from duty roulettes are actually repeatable if you queue as role needed so 12k from leveling roulette.
keep up the good work and you're doing great 😀
My retainers sometimes give me pure black and white dyes from venture coffers that i can sell on the market board for pretty much half a mil without fail
Depends on your Endgame goals. If you’re an achievement Hunter, it’s going to be a looong efficient to-do list.
While its definitely RNG heavy as to what you're retainers bring back, there a few of the explorations routes that have minions in their loot pool and as well as some materials to craft glams that can't be obtained anywhere else, which mean they usually fetch a decent amount of gil on the market board.
The Doman enclave is weekly reset for donation, if you can't donate anymore, you either have a quest to complete to advance the reconstruction or you've donated the quota for the week
Things you could add to your to do list:
the weekly Wondrous Tails journal in Idyllshire, can be a great source of MGP if you're lucky
Custom Deliveries: reset every week, usually pretty quick to do, will give you tons of exp and scripts for your crafter/gatherer jobs
Tomestone of Causality: there's a weekly cap on these, you can easily get your weekly quota by doing daily roulettes
So I can save you money on retainer gear with this tip. Spending money on your retainers is not efficient as it is not necessary. Every time you get new gear for your own character, give your retainer the gear you're not using. Basically recycling. Also retainer gear using tomes/scripts is the way to go. They get what they need and you lose nothing.
Most useful things my retainers bring back are venture coffers,which commonly (for me) drop 2 jet black dyes, that on my server reliably sell for 4-500k each
The retainers depends…
Depending on the job and the level you send them for the long venture, you can get good minions.
For example the Botanist at level 80 has a small probability of dropping the Porxie minion, which sells for several hundred k gil and sometimes over 1M.
For the quick ventures you can get the crates which can drop rare dyes who can also sell for several hundred k gil.
I'm by no means a huge player, but I've made myself enough gil to buy a personal mansion and a medium house for my FC.
