On HorizonXI, several quests exist which are repeatable once per conquest cycle and are designed to boost exp gain for the players. On HorizonXI, all exp scrolls have been boosted by a factor of 3 and the Eco-Warrior quests and the HAAP Program provide even more exp rewards.

Including HAAP Points, doing the weekly repetable quests can yield 2 Dragon Chronicles and 3-4 Miratete's Memoirs, providing on average around 15k-18k exp per week, usable on any job.

On top of that, there are a couple of ENMs in the game, which give somewhere between 2k - 3,5k exp each. They are easily accessible and can be joined in yells. The Tale Of The Wandering Heroes, obtained from the Eco-Warrior quests, gives a 75% exp boost which caps at 10,000 exp. This essentially works as an extension of the Exp Rings, which are usually painfully short lived in good exp parties.

Eco Warrior

Overview

This quest requires you to go to either Gusgen Mines (Eco-Warrior (Bastok)), Ordelle's Caves (Eco-Warrior (San d'Oria)) or Maze of Shakhrami (Eco-Warrior (Windurst)) and fight a NM. This quest requires at least a full party if not a full alliance. There are regular /yells in the main cities that organize alliances which you can join, which makes completing the quest very easy. Look out for /yells especially on the first day of a new conquest cycle. Make sure you have access to the close by Telepoint or set out ahead of the group to the dungeon.
Once in the dungeon, a NPC will apply a level cap of 20. The main difficulty of the quest lies in getting through the respective dungeon to the target NM at the cap of level 20 without aggroing monsters. Bring Silent Oils and Prism Powders or another form of Sneak/Invisible.

Highwind

Overview

Highwind is a custom NM of HorizonXI that spawns every 4 hours on the decks of each of the four airship routes from Jeuno to Bastok, San d'Oria, Windurst and Kazham. Highwind is not claimable but can be attacked by anyone on the airship. Being eligible for the rewards requires to perform at least a single action on Highwind. You can obtain the rewards once per conquest cycle.
Highwind spawn times are often /yelled in the main cities and especially on the first day of a new conquest cycle, there are plenty of people joining which makes killing the NM very easy. Sometimes you even have to watch out to get on deck quickly enough to get a hit in before the NM dies.

Spice Gals

Overview

This quest requires you to go to either Riverne - Site #A01 or Riverne - Site #B01 and obtain Key ItemRivernewort from a ???. There is no fight involved, but the ??? lies close to the entrance to Monarch Linn and you will need 1-2 Giant Scales to get there.

Secrets of Ovens Lost

Overview

This quest requires you to go either to Phomiuna Aqueducts or Sacrarium and obtain Key ItemTavnazian Cookbook. Like Spice Gals, there is no fight involved. If you choose to go to Sacrarium, all you need is a form of Sneak/Invisible to not aggro the monsters of the area. If you choose to go to Phomiuna Aqueducts, you will need a Bronze Key, therefore the Sacrarium route is highly advised.

Uninvited Guests

Overview

The quest involves going to Monarch Linn and fighting Mammet-800s in a BCNM. You will have to fight one mammet for every two players participating. Which means if you solo or duo the fight, there will be only one Mammet-800.

To access Monarch Linn, you need to pass through either Riverne - Site #A01 or Riverne - Site #B01, which require Giant Scales (two in case of A01 and one in case of B01). Giant Scales drop from Wyverns in those areas. The droprate is very common (24% / 48% with Treasure Hunter I) and can be farmed solo by some jobs.

Others

HAAP EXP Scrolls

Miratete's Memoirs and Dragon Chronicles each can be obtained once per week from HAAP.I in Selbina for 4 and 2 HAAP Points, respectively. Check Category:Horizon Adventuring Assistance Program for your favorite BCNM and keep an eye out for yells.

ENMs

Although ENMs can be done after 5 days rather than once per week, it can be convenient to think of them in a weekly rhythm if you do not want to keep track of their 5 day cooldowns. Note that the 5 day cooldown starts when picking up the Key Item, not when using it.

Beloved of the Atlantes / Fire in the Sky / ...

Notable Rewards: Cloud Evoker
Exp: 2,500
Cap: 50 / 40
How to obtain the KI: Talk to Morangeart
Location: Monarch Linn

While you are going to Monarch Linn anyway for your weeklies, you can clear a ENM there, assuming you arrive in a party. It's free exp and you get the KI for free just by talking to an NPC. Usually there are plenty of shouts at the beginning of the week like "UiG/SG/ENM" which combine Uninvited Guests, Spice Gals and any of the Monarch Linn ENMs.

Test Your Mite

Notable Rewards: Geist Earring, Woodsman Ring
Exp: 3,500
Cap: 40
How to obtain the KI: Farm a Florid Stone (and trade to Ghebi Damomohe)
Location: The Shrouded Maw

There are plenty of shouts that you can join and with one or more pet jobs, it is a piece of cake. The drops are not really that great but the ENM is quick to access (The Shrouded Maw) and 3,500 exp is nice. The biggest issue is getting the KI, which requires farming the Florid Stone in Pso'Xja, which might not be worth your while if you are not in Pso'Xja anyway for other reasons.

Pulling the Plug

Notable Rewards: Toreador's Ring
Exp: 3,000
Cap: 50
How to obtain the KI: Talk to Venessa
Location: Spire of Vahzl

Easy to obtain KI, the biggest issue is that its a rather long way to get to the Spire of Vahzl. The ENM can be tricky, depending on your party setup. Beastmasters can solo this.
