Any game that is so solved/datamined that the playerbase couldn't possibly come up with something as ludicrous as the crafting compass in FFXI is not worth playing.
Days of the week correlate with certain elements, so do crafts and compass directions, so some players theorised that there could be a link between them.
Confirmed by devs years later to not be real. Despite that, some people still follow it. If you're watching people crafting and they get up and change directions when the day changes, now you know why.
