Reset
Repeatable activities reset on two different timeframes: the daily reset and the weekly reset. Each type of reset has a different time during the day when it occurs. For the daily reset, there are also two activities that are common exceptions, which reset at a different time of day.
While the game has three time options on the in-game clock display (the game client's Local Time or LT, Eorzea Time or ET, and Server Time or ST), the Server Time is generally the most relevant for finding out when a reset is coming. Server time for all servers globally is the same as the GMT/BST time zones, and therefore does change for daylight savings.[1] The resets themselves do not move for daylight savings, and so they occur at different Server Times depending on the part of the year.[2] All times below are Standard, non-Daylight Savings times.
For more information on activities affected by reset times, see Daily and Weekly Checklist.
Daily Reset
The daily reset is 3PM GMT whether Daylight Savings Time is on or off. The following table gives the Local Times at which reset occurs for American time zones based on whether DST is on (March-November) or off (November-March).
| Time Zone | Pacific | Mountain | Central | Eastern |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Daylight Savings Time On | 8AM | 9AM | 10AM | 11AM |
| Daylight Savings Time Off | 7AM | 8AM | 9AM | 10AM |
Examples of activities affected by this reset are Duty Roulette rewards and the Tribal Quests.

Notes
- ↑ More info is needed on which jurisdiction's daylight savings dates are used for Server Time. Is it client based?
- ↑ So any idea why server time is not actually server time? (Reddit)
