Daily & Weekly Checklist: Reset Times Without the Chore List

Keep the rewards that serve your account, cap routine maintenance, and plan around each system's actual clock. Ordinary quest resets, Black Shrine settlement and event deadlines do not all use one rule.

Separate ordinary resets from system deadlines [10][1][2]

Use 00:00 UTC for ordinary daily quests and Thursday 00:00 UTC for ordinary weekly quests. Black Shrine uses a separate Sunday-midnight server-time cycle. Confirm the regional clock and remaining time in the client before converting that deadline into your local calendar.

Record the date as well as the hour when converting to local time. Event notices, purchase limits and maintenance windows can have different deadlines, so a general reset rule never overrides the specific notice.

The ten-minute login block [10][6][7][11][13][14]

Cap routine maintenance before it eats the session. Claim expiring or attendance rewards, refill the worker or farm loop you actually use, clean one blocked storage path, and check whether an event objective expires before your next login.

Then pick one active goal: gear, silver, a life skill, questline, knowledge, or account unlock. Put tasks that do not support it or protect a limited reward lower on the list.

Open Black Spirit's Scheduler from ESC → Function (F8). This Family-wide planner lets you select content and daily or weekly repeatable quests. Add only the activities you intend to do; use the quest timer tooltip to check remaining time.

Choose daily lanes, not every daily [5][6][7][8]

Pick at most one passive lane and one active lane. Imperial Cooking or Alchemy delivery belongs only if you already produce the boxes. Worker and farm upkeep belongs only if those systems feed a real material plan. AFK fishing or another background activity is useful only when you will actually leave it running.

  • Silver lane: one grind, trade, imperial, or life-skill block you can measure.
  • Account lane: one quest, journal, knowledge, season, or unlock objective.
  • Maintenance lane: workers, farms, pets, repairs, buffs, and inventory—kept to a hard time cap.
  • Event lane: only live objectives whose reward and deadline justify the detour.

Rank weeklies by value you cannot replace [1][2][9][4]

Put permanent or limited progression first, then compare reward per total minute. Reliable Black Shrine entries, useful Atoraxxion chests, Pit progress, and current guild, season, academy, or event objectives can all be good; none is mandatory when the reward no longer moves your account.

Count party formation, travel, mechanics, consumables, failure risk, and crystal risk. A flashy chest that costs the whole night can lose to a smaller solo reward plus uninterrupted progression elsewhere.

Give Black Shrine its own Sunday lane [1][2][12][13][14]

Give Black Shrine its own Sunday-midnight server-time deadline, separate from ordinary Thursday weeklies. Confirm the live timer before the last clear. Schedule scarce party availability first, then fit reliable solo entries around it.

Choose calamities you clear consistently, not the highest entry button you can press. Verify current counts, difficulty, rewards, and party requirements in the live UI; different Shrine formats and later high-calamity additions should not be flattened into one old loot table.

Since the April 16 update, weekly subjugation rewards are delivered automatically to Black Spirit's Safe after Sunday settlement. Check the Safe for the result; do not repeat an old instruction that an unclaimed weekly reward simply expires.

Pit and Atoraxxion are opt-in weeklies [9][3]

After unlocking Crow's Nest and the Pit, check Chorpy's weekly quest and your current insignia progression. Run it when the seals and clear time help your account. Use the official guide's Weekly Quest and Rewards section rather than its older daily-introduction wording.

Atoraxxion belongs on the list when the correct dungeon and difficulty are unlocked, the weekly chest still advances the group, and the party can clear efficiently. Vahmalkea and later routes have their own requirements; verify chest eligibility instead of copying one universal route.

Add Lyngbakr only if you sail [11]

The September 10 update added the weekly Lyngbakr Ecology Survey to the Quest window's Recurring tab. Use that entry to check the current objective and reward before committing a sailing session.

Add this Great Ocean weekly only if you have the ship, supplies, route access and ocean goal to make the run worthwhile. Confirm the quest acceptance point, objective and reward in the live client before sailing.

Two schedules that actually fit real life [10][1][4]

For a one-hour session, spend five to ten minutes on claims and logistics, forty to fifty minutes on one named goal, then stage the next login. If the session crosses 00:00 UTC, decide which side of reset should receive the quest or claim before you start.

For a weekend account, book fixed-party content first, finish the old Black Shrine cycle before Sunday reset, and use the other block for Thursday-reset weeklies. Leave one flex slot for a failed clear, late guild group, or a goal that simply takes longer than planned.

Do not confuse reset with an event deadline [10]

A quest marked daily or weekly can still belong to an event whose notice ends at maintenance or another stated UTC time. Open the current event notice before banking a final-day clear. The same caution applies to region and platform: this page is reviewed for NA/EU PC and does not merge console or another region's schedule.

Follow the latest effective NA/EU PC notice for the specific activity. Global Lab previews do not change live deadlines.

Use this short daily and weekly checklist [10][1][9][2][11]

Keep the list short enough that you will use it.

  • Daily: expiring claims, one useful maintenance loop, one active account goal.
  • Before Thursday 00:00 UTC: ordinary weeklies whose current rewards still matter.
  • Before Black Shrine's Sunday-midnight server-time settlement: finish the reliable solo or party clears that serve your goal, after checking the live timer.
  • Optional: Pit, Atoraxxion, guild, season, academy, event, or Lyngbakr lanes only when unlocked and valuable.
  • Every week: remove one chore that no longer pays for its time.
