FFXIV Dawntrail Tomestone Calculator – Weekly Cap & Budget Planner

Tomestone Inputs & Activities

Weekly cap defaults to 900. Daily roulette income, weekly hunts, custom activities (Variant or Deep Dungeons), and days played per week all feed into the summary. Set your current balance and target cost to see the ETA and projected completion date.

Overflow Handling

If projected income exceeds the cap, we show the overflow so you can redirect time toward gil farming or alt jobs. This copy ties back to the EV & GPH guide to reinforce best practices.

Clipboard-Friendly Summaries

The Copy Weekly Plan button uses the Clipboard API so you can paste the plan into Discord raid channels without rewriting anything.

Roulettes & Hunts weighting

Drag the per-day value higher during event weeks or lower when you're skipping roulettes; the calculator flexes instantly.

Custom content label

Name the custom slot after Variant Dungeon, Criterion, or Island Sanctuary objectives. That label flows into descriptive text for clarity.

Methodology & Hands-on Testing

Hands-on testing comes from our daily roulettes, Hunt Bills, and Variant dungeon runs. Square Enix patch notes define caps; FF community spreadsheets validate reward amounts; we cross-check them weekly. That workflow matches our Methodology promise and is logged in the Changelog.

Activity baselines

Roulette reward defaults to 120 tomestones/day because that's the average from Dawntrail Main Scenario roulette. Hunts default to 60 per week from A-rank trains.

Completion dates

Weeks to goal × 7 days → add to today's date. We display the resulting calendar date for easy scheduling.

Overflow policy

We never hide overflow; it's spelled out with bold numbers so players plan alternative currency routes.

Review cadence

LootCalc Editorial Team re-checks the calculator whenever Square Enix adjusts tomestone caps.

Assumptions – Weekly Cap Planning

Assumes 900 weekly cap, 120 tomestones/day from roulettes, 60 from hunts, 180 from Variant dungeon per week, and 495-cost weapon target. Change them if Dawntrail patches raise the bar.

Formula & Pseudocode – Budget Math

projectedEarned = (dailyRoulette × daysPlayed) + hunts + customActivity. actualWeekly = min(projectedEarned, weeklyCap). deficit = max(targetCost - currentBalance, 0). weeksToGoal = ceil(deficit / actualWeekly).

Worked Example – Weapon Token Prep

You start at 260 tomestones, target weapon costs 495. With five days of roulettes (120 each), 60 hunts, and 180 Variant tomes, you earn 780, no overflow. You cap in one week and finish the weapon on the first reset.

Edge Cases – Doubled Caps

When Square Enix doubles caps, set weekly cap to 1,800. Overflow will show zero, letting you know to add more activities until you hit the new limit.

Common Mistakes – Avoid Idle Time

The two big mistakes: ignoring overflow and forgetting weekends. We highlight both so planners can adjust days played or activities and avoid wasted rewards.
