If you’ve ever logged into Final Fantasy XIV on a Tuesday and felt a sudden rush of things to do, that’s the weekly reset at work. It’s one of the most important rhythms in the entire game, and understanding it separates players who gear up fast from those who wonder why progress feels slow. Here’s everything you need to know.

When Does the FFXIV Weekly Reset Happen?

What Resets Every Week?
The weekly 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. AELGAMES

Pro Tips to Maximise Your Reset Week
Savage raid loot, tomestone caps, and Challenge Log progress all wipe to zero on Tuesday — missed content does not carry over, so you simply have to wait until next week and plan better. Bigwritehook
When a new Alliance Raid comes out, you can only roll for one item per week from it, and receive one exclusive token per week — this cap also applies to both normal and Savage 8-player raids when they are new. Destructoid

FAQs
Q: Does the FFXIV weekly reset time differ between PC, PlayStation, and Xbox?
No — the reset schedule is synchronized globally and applies equally to all players regardless of platform, as it is based on server time tied to GMT. AELGAMES
Q: What happens if I miss the weekly reset and don’t complete my activities?
Any uncompleted weekly activities simply expire — progress on the Challenge Log, raid loot tokens, and tomestone caps do not carry over to the following week.
