Doing yourdaily RoulettesandTribal Quests, maybe some gathering or crafting here and there, and spending some time in the Gold Saucer will knock off the majority of the Log’s objectives.
However, if you’re keen on squeezing the Log for every bit of Gil it’s worth, you’ll need toplan your weeks much more diligently. Some objectives, like openingTreasure Coffersin Map Dungeons, enteringChocobo Races, or battling inPvPwill require you to participate in content you may not normally do.
Challenge Log rewards are by no means essential, so you should really onlyfocus on ones that align with your current in-game goals. If you’releveling your Craftersand Gatherers, you’ll definitely want to complete the objectives in those respective sections.
