Your weekly loop

The third and final tier of the Arcadion, Dawntrail's 8-player raid series. It launched with Patch 7.4 in December 2025 and closes out the raid's story.

For catch-up it's the current normal-raid tier: a low-pressure, matchmade source of i770 gear and tomes. Steady and reliable for filling slots as you climb.

The hard version of Heavyweight (the M1 to M4 fights, abbreviated M9S to M12S). It opened three weeks after Normal, on January 6, 2026, and drops the strongest non-augmented gear in the game (i790, i795 weapon).

Only worth it if high-end raiding is your thing. It's the on-content best-in-slot grind and the assumed floor for Dancing Mad (Ultimate). Everyone else can skip it with a clear conscience.

Mnemonics is the current capped tomestone. You earn it from most level-100 combat content (roulettes, dungeons, raids, hunts), capped at 450 a week, and spend it on the i780 gear tier.

The catch is that cap: a full set takes a couple of months of weekly earning. That's why crafted gear and the uncapped tome (Mathematics, same vendor) are the fast catch-up, while Mnemonics is the slow, steady top-up once you're close to current.

Augmenting i780 up to i790 needs materials from the current Savage tier, so for non-raiders the unaugmented i780 set is the practical ceiling.

The final chapter of Echoes of Vana'diel, the 24-player alliance raid that crosses over with Final Fantasy XI. Windurst: The Third Walk closes out the series.

It's worth doing. The gear is a free weekly bump, it stays in the Alliance Raid roulette forever, and if you played XI the nostalgia lands. Low effort, good payoff.

Custom Deliveries are the crafter and gatherer weekly: hand a client the collectables they want for a fat payout of scrips, gil, and XP. You get 12 deliveries a week total, capped at 6 per client, resetting Tuesday.

For a returner this is the fastest weekly scrip income and a great way to level a Hand or Land class. The newest clients (Tiisol Ja, then Nitowikwe) pay the most orange scrips, so prioritize them, then spread the rest.

Every client, oldest to newest, with where they live and the quest that unlocks them:

Doman Enclave Reconstruction is a reverse gil sink: you dump vendor-junk into the Donation Basket and get paid well above vendor price for it. Easy money most players forget exists.

The weekly budget starts at 20,000 gil and climbs toward 40,000 as you rebuild the enclave over the weeks, with the payout rate rising from 120% up to 200% of vendor value. Feed it retainer venture loot (Allagan silver and gold pieces are ideal) and leftover materials.

It resets Tuesday, and it slowly transforms the zone as a bonus.

Wondrous Tails is a weekly bingo journal. Khloe gives you 16 duties; clear any nine to place seals, then line them up in rows for bigger rewards. Most are old duties you can run unsynced and solo in a couple of minutes.

The base payout is a flat 50% of a level in XP (great for leveling a job) plus your pick of gil, tomestones, or certificates you trade for gear and mounts. Low effort for what it gives.

Two things worth knowing: a journal is good for two weeks, and Second Chance points (earned by running duties alongside first-timers) let you Retry a bad tile or Shuffle your seals for a better line.

Fashion Report is a weekly glamour minigame: dress to the week's theme, get scored out of 100, and pocket MGP. Hitting 80 points is the target, and it's easy with a community cheat sheet since the theme and answers get posted every week.

That's 60,000 MGP a week for a few minutes: 10,000 for showing up plus 50,000 for an 80-plus score. MGP buys mounts, minions, and glamour from the Gold Saucer.

Hints post after the Tuesday reset and judging opens Friday, so in practice it's a Friday-through-Monday errand.

Faux Hollows is a weekly reward puzzle gated behind the Unreal trial, a tuned-up level-100 version of an old fight (Shinryu right now). Clear it once a week to earn a go at the board.

You flip panels to uncover pictures and earn Faux Leaves, a currency you trade with the Faux Commander for mounts, minions, orchestrion rolls, and glamour, several of which resell well on the market board.

The Unreal syncs your item level down, so it's a genuine fight rather than a faceroll, but it's a familiar old trial that Party Finder clears every week. The board is the only source of Faux Leaves, so it's worth a weekly clear if you want what they buy.
