FFXIV Website Tools
Wikis
- Gamer Escape - Probably the most comprehensive wiki for the game. Tons and tons of info on basically everything, plus Discus comments at the bottom of each page.
- ConsoleGames FFXIV Wiki - Another wiki, also very comprehensive, but in a more familiar, traditional, Wikipedia-esque format.
- Final Fantasy Wiki - A good solid wiki, but has information for ALL Final Fantasy Games, so requires a bit of navigating.
- FFXIV Guild - Can get out of date sometimes, but has several still extremely useful guides for leveling and gearing things.
Crafting
- Garland Tools Database - Extremely comprehensive, constantly updated. Amazing for making lists of what you want and doing all the math for you on how to get it. Lots of other tools on the site, but this one’s the one you remember it for!
- Teamcraft - Requires a login (free, connects to Lodestone), but also gives you access to community input, such as crafting rotations people have figured out, as well as tracking your crafting and gathering logs. Macro drag-n-drop is a little finicky somet
- Lokyst Crafting Optimizer - Never lose mats to figuring out a rotation again! Also saves your stats in a cookie, so once you plug everything in, it’s easy to keep yourself up to date and come up with the best rotations. Also makes macros for you.
- Crafting as a Service - Find out what gear you need, find out what mats you need, and figure out how the HECK to level DoH.
- Minzer Crafting Builder - App-like interface allows you to build macros without plugging in any details, and gives CP usage. Useful if you already know what you're doing and just want to make a macro real quick. OUT OF DATE AS OF SHB
- Forum Thread - Submersibles - Self-explanatory. Includes theorycrafting, sector loot, links for sub building, route planning, and etc.
Gathering
- XIV Angler - For when you need to know HOW to catch that @&$%ing fish. Baits, weathers, windows, even hooking info.
- FFXIV Fish Tracker App - Comprehensive fish tracker, not only allowing tracking of what you've caught, but also providing bait, conditions, and window availability info. Very thorough and easy-to-use filtering capabilities.
- FFXIV Clock - Does exactly what it sounds like it does. For an alarm that will make noise regardless of what you’re tabbed into, select "Global Popup" and "Audio Alert" at the top of the page.
- FFXIV Gardening - How to crossbreed, what to crossbreed, and efficiency ratings based on price of the seeds, how hard they are to obtain, and a few other factors.
The Hunt
- Horus Hunts - Dedicated exclusively to tracking hunts. User interface detailed, but isn’t difficult to figure out at all. Does require accounts for reporting, but accounts are linked to Lodestone profiles, limiting trolling. SITE DOWN OFTEN
- Ariyala Hunt Tracker - Sadly, Ayiyala has fallen out of favor with most hunters because of the ease with which it can be trolled, but the site does have other tools on it that keep it somewhat relevant. Horus Hunts can update it, though.
- FFXIV Hunts Pathfinder - For daily hunts, shows you the simplest ways to get them all knocked out in a manner that doesn’t make you want to punch Yoshi-P. Has ARR, HW, and SB pathfinders.
- Cable Monkey’s Hunt Maps - Never ask where Squonk is again! Spawn points for ARR, HW, and SB hunt marks, B, A, and S ranks. THIS SITE WILL NOT BE UPDATED FOR SHADOWBRINGERS
- FFXIV Hunts - Almost identical to Cable Monkey’s site, but a much more user-friendly layout, with collapsible sections by expansion.
Collections and Logs
- Sightseeing Log Helper - Where to go, when to go, what emote to use. Also keeps track of which sightseeing log entries you’ve done, and can filter them out.
- Eureka Tracker - THE Eureka tracker website. Create and share NM spawns in each zone, check the weather, even tell people if the local Pazuzu is up or not! Also has a logos tracker!
- FFLogos - For keeping track of what mnemes you’ve got, what you need, and what actions you’ve unlocked. Will tell you if you can make something based on your input of what you’ve got in your inventory.
- Eorzea Music - Excellent way to keep track of what orchestrion rolls you have and don’t have, as well as where to get all of them. Asks you to create an account, but is free.
- Apkallu Falls - A rather comprehensive collection of collection trackers. Does require a login for manual tracking, but covers just about everything you would want to collect except Triple Triad cards.
- ARR Triple Triad - Very comprehensive TT tracker site, allowing you to create/manage decks, record cards, and also NPCs. Does not require a login, but you can create one. ALSO EXPLAINS THE RULES!!!
Glamour
- XIV Style - A comprehensive catalogue of What The Heck Does It Look Like, very neatly sorted and categorized.
- Eorzea Collection - We all know glamour is the true endgame, and this is the catalogue to look at if you want glamour inspiration or just want to see what other people are wearing. Basically the Vogue Magazine for FFXIV.
- Miraprisnap - Very similar to Eorzea Collection; a gallery for inspiration, but entirely in Japanese, with no translation available.
Other Tools
- FFXIV Squadron - A website that does annoying squadron math for you! Find out if you actually can do that mission or not the (relatively) easy way.
- Chocobo Color Calculator - Accurate results for what to stuff your birb with to get the color you want, plus or minus RNG. Because it’s not really FFXIV if there isn’t RNG in it.
- FF14 Housing - Images of housing items in the game, as well as where to get them. Updated regularly, very comprehensive.
- Housing Snap - A housing magazine, basically, chock full of ideas, inspirations, and really pretty pictures. Of note: the website is in Japanese, and does not seem to have any translations to select from.
- Skywatcher Plus - Just in case you want something that does nothing but tell you the weather. Does not include Eureka weather.
- Character Card Generator - Fun little character card generator.
- Instant Sloppy - Because this list would absolutely not be complete without this. You already know what it does.
- Mogboard - Automated marketboard price gathering, presented in a very easy-to-understand and use UI. Does require plugging in a few settings to get started, but no accounts needed to check pricings. Becoming a member via discord allows for services.
- FFXIV Roleplay Toolbox - Extremely useful for roleplaying. Breaks long text intp postable blocks, does emote/channel (e.g. /yell) formatting for you, and also has a few tips at the bottom of the page.
- Heavenswhere - Maps of HW and SB regions with locations of hunt marks, maps, gathering nodes, and aether currents. Extremely friendly user interface, very well polished and easy to navigate. Maps are zoomable and markers can be clicked for more info.
