Community Resources
Over the years, the FFXIV community has built a wide variety of websites to help players with many aspects of gameplay, from raiding, to gardening, to fashion, to fishing, just to name a few. Below we've compiled a collection of some of the most popular sites, many of which have been in active development for almost as long as Final Fantasy XIV.
Note: Discord links are not listed here to not isolate those who do not have a Discord account. For a full community resources list including Discords, see: XIV Directory
Note II: For the sake of information preservation, Google Docs & Sheets are not linked here, as they're difficult to archive with the waybackmachine in the event they are deleted. If your resource is on one, please consider adding the content to the wiki directly or hosting on a website such as carrd, wordpress, etc.

You can either make a note in the Discussion page or by suggesting it in the FFXIV Wiki Discord, whichever you prefer.
