FFXIV: Daily / Weekly Checklist
Whether you’re a new player, veteran raider, or maybe returning to the game, the amount of various content in FFXIV can be overwhelming at times. This guide acts as a means of prioritizing content on a daily and weekly basis during your time in game.

If they aren’t max level (60), you can train them 3 times per day and run Command Mission dungeons. You can also send Recruits on Squadron Missions, namely Priority Missions, which take 18 hours to complete and reward consumables providing various buffs.
Treasure Hunts – Full party treasure maps yielding gil, materials, minions, furnishings, glamour, and music scrolls. There is an 18 hour cooldown on finding a Treasure Map which could yield entry to The Dungeons of Lyhe Ghiah, The Shifting Altars of Uznair, The Lost/Hidden Canals of Uznair, and The Aquapolis. Note, you can also buy these maps on the Market Board.
Weekly:

Conclusion:
My hope is that this brief guide helped you get a grasp on what to prioritize with your time in-game as we continue our adventure through Shadowbringers! While you’ll still want to ensure you’re completing the Main Scenario Quest (MSQ), other quest lines, and leveling other classes, this checklist should help optimize your progression through Eorzea. Cheers to the /r/ffxiv Discord for helping verify the content of this guide!
Updated for Shadowbringers: Patch 5.31!
Is the UFO Dun Scaith quest you call out repeatable?
It sure is!
Once per week
Thank you bro, useful information.
Very good article, thanks.
Should put in the glamour contest in the gold saucer as well
Cheers, I’ll look into adding this!
Don’t forget about the weekly Fashion Report.
Ah yes, I’ll go ahead and take care of that – cheers!
Don’t forget the weekly Fashion Report.
This has been added! 🙂
Should 100% add this to a auto resetting tick list if possible.
there’s one like what you’ve suggested called Questhog – good thing is that it’s free, but it offers a customisable list and etc if you pay iirc
You also have the Doman Enclave Reconstruction for the weeklies
Second the inclusion of Doman Enclave Reconstruction (turn 20K of vendor items into up to 40K, depending on progression). Also, quick correction: the weekly Squadron Missions are NOT called Command Missions! Those are infinitely repeatable NPC-supported dungeon runs. The correct in-game term for the weeklies is Priority Missions.
Thanks for this, quite helpful. Oh and just to let you know, you have Squadron and Command missions mixed up.
Super late responding to this, I apologize – but I’ve updated this, thank you!
Might want to add the new weekly quest for delubrum you can do since 5.45 (3 gold coins)
And the new Weekly story quest for the nier collab that opens up after you complete the final raid dungeon
Adding as a personal reminder but you also have your weekly castrum lacus litore and dalriada
and you also have bi-weekly triple triad tournaments that give you a decent amount of mgp even if you dont manage to rank (which is easy in itself)
I feel conflicted seeing squadrons listed as dailies.
There are 3 types of missions:
the command missions you can do whenever, once you unlock them
the regular squadron missions you can do every 18 hours, but those only give exp so if your squadrons are already leveled you wouldn’t really bother doing them anymore
and then the priority squadron missions, which are the ones with the bonuses you can earn, which also take 18 hours, but you can only successfully do 1 a week
So those are only “dailies” for as long as you keep failing. If doing the ones that give 5 scrolls instead of 10, you can guarantee success with the right comp/training, so it’s very easy to get it done for the week in 1 day.
Speaking of weeklies and dailies, there are also weekly and daily quests.
– Seeking Inspiration (weekly)
– Cut from a different cloth (daily)
– Morbid Motivation (daily)
– Those weekly yorha quests, until the questline is finished
– One man’s relic (weekly)
– A ruined opportunity (weekly)
Some of these weeklies/dailies could become full repeatables in a future patch
(Note: the gift of the archmagus, primal focus, and unidentified flying object used to be weeklies, but not anymore)
And there could be a 3rd section for “other”, because if a person is trying to optimize their leve allowances, you cap from 0 to 100 every 16-17 days (2.3 weeks). Depending on the person and how many allowances, that could be weekly or biweekly. Of course some people ignore it, but that’s true of every daily/weekly.
