Below, we list out the various FFXIV reset times depending on your time zone.
FFXIV daily reset times
Final Fantasy XIV features two key daily reset times that impact a variety of repeatable activities. The primary daily reset occurs at 7 a.m. PST / 10 a.m. EST / 3 p.m. GMT, affecting content such as Duty Roulette bonuses, Beast Tribe (Beastmen) quest allowances, daily repeatable quests, Frontline duty availability, and housing messages. A second daily reset takes place at 12 p.m. PST / 3 p.m. EST / 8 p.m. GMT, which specifically refreshes Grand Company missions, including Adventurer Squadron training allowances and Grand Company supply/provisioning missions. These resets ensure players have new opportunities each day to earn experience, gil, and rewards across multiple activities.
The following activities abide by this global daily reset time in FFXIV:
- Duty roulette rewards
- Housing lottery beginning/end periods
- Mini Cactpot in the Gold Saucer
- Tribal quest allowances
- The Hunt targets
- The start and end of limited-time events (like Hatching-tide or Starlight Celebration)

FFXIV weekly reset time
The weekly reset in Final Fantasy XIV occurs every Tuesday at 8 a.m. GMT, which translates to 1 a.m. PDT for the west coast of North America and 4 a.m. EDT for the east coast. This reset marks the point when players can once again earn capped rewards such as Allagan Tomestones, participate in weekly-limited raids, complete new Challenge Logs, and engage in activities like the Fashion Report, Wondrous Tails, and Jumbo Cactpot. Keeping track of the weekly reset is essential for maximizing progress on high-value activities and ensuring you don’t miss out on time-gated rewards before the cycle starts anew.
Weeklies that abide by this reset time include the following:
- Raiding gear drops (for the newest content, if restrictions are on)
- Tomestone cap
- Wondrous Tails
- Faux Hollows
- Elite Hunt Marks
- Fashion Report
- Custom Deliveries allowances
- Doman Enclave Reconstruction
Weekly reset for FFXIV occurs on Tuesdays, at a different time than daily reset time:

FFXIV miscellaneous reset times
In addition to the main daily and weekly resets, Final Fantasy XIV features several miscellaneous reset timers that affect specific in-game systems. For example, Grand Company missions and Adventurer Squadron training allowances reset daily at a different time than the standard daily reset-specifically at 12 p.m. PST / 3 p.m. EST / 8 p.m. GMT. Other features, such as housing messages and certain event-related activities, also follow their own unique reset schedules. Keeping track of these miscellaneous reset times is important for maximizing rewards and efficiently managing your in-game activities.
There are a few times that have different reset times, for some reason, like Jumbo Cactpot and Grand Company turn-ins.

Do the daily and weekly reset times vary across different platforms in FFXIV
No, the daily and weekly reset times in Final Fantasy XIV do not vary across different platforms. The reset schedule is synchronized globally and applies equally to all players, whether they are on PC, PlayStation, or Xbox. The reset times are based on server time and are consistent regardless of the platform you use to access the game.
Do the daily reset times differ between North American and European servers in FFXIV
The daily reset times in FFXIV do not differ between North American and European servers in terms of when the reset occurs on the server; all servers use a coordinated global reset time based on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT/UTC). However, because players are in different time zones, the local time at which the reset happens will differ. For example, the daily reset is at 8 a.m. PDT (West Coast US), 11 a.m. EDT (East Coast US), 4 p.m. BST (UK), and 5 p.m. CET (Western Europe). So, while the reset is simultaneous worldwide, the actual clock time for players varies by region.
