What to do when not playing FFXIV

[Laume]

So I'm at work and business has slowed down alot and I have about 3 hours of freetime each day but I cant play FFXIV. What is something I could do to prepare for when I get home to play FFXIV? Like crunch some numbers or read up on fights or something like that?

I usually compare gear and plan ahead. Given that lodestone tells you what you're wearing, I usually look that up and compare it to what's out there. Plan for what to get, how to get it, what plausible and what's not (whether it's via quests, crafting, dungeon, etc). I also read up/listen to (on youtube) opinions on the jobs I play to get some ideas on how I can improve my play style.
