    Do you think the game could use event announcements?

    While I'm aware this already exist in the form of timers for some things, I was thinking players could customize this feature to their liking by tinkering with configs.

    So for example, say you want a sound notification or text popping on your screen about a mining node or a particular fate appearing in a map or even a gold saucer event you have your eye on. There would be a list, probably up to 5 or 10 events that you could mark. Then when that particular event happens, text could fly by either through chat log or directly on your screen.

    You could even set it so that it doesn't occur while you're in an instance or something else that demands your total attention (like crafting). Other customization features would be setting the events notifications only during a certain time (local or server), font and text size or soundbite from the game.

    There is an FFXIVclock app. (◡‿◡✿) (◡‿◡✿) (◡‿◡✿)

    There are a lot of third-party apps/sites that do everything you're talking about already. The problem is that everything is too decentralized. Someone needs to merge all of them into one site because when crafting I have to open like 5 different sites. Would be nice to have it in-game though. I support this idea.

    going oldschool (pen and paper), or write a macro that list the times ( /echo time; item (slot); location)

    I mean if they put a function like FFXIVclock.com ingame, then what would be the reason to hide the times in the gatherer log?

    Personally, I think it would make sense that once you've found it, the time you found it should be recorded in the log.
    With all the addons or whatever it's not really necessary, but from the characters perspective, why would they not write down that they found x node in the morning/midday/evening in z zone.

    Actually XIV already has this feature! You may have missed it as it's one of them weird optional things.

    If you join certain LS's they will tell you when hunt/nodes/fates/gates are up!!!! All it takes is a small dose of social interaction!

    TLDR: Quit trying to play XIV as an offline game.

    I play with a crappy laptop at my side to track things. I do think the ability to set a custom timer to EZ time in game would be nice, though.
