Waited x amount of time but quest didn't progress
The FFXI wiki is for modern FFXI. Almost all quests that required waiting long amounts of time were changed in modern FFXI to speed up gameplay. If it says wait 1 earth minute, that probably means at least 1 earth hour here, if not a midnight cycle. When a quest says to wait until JP midnight, here it means EST midnight.
You can check the history of a FFXI wiki page to see how long it took in ~2006.
