Well each rank (novice, artisan, veteran etc.) will basically just cycle through the ranks from lowest up to that rank. So for Artisan rank, they'll cycle through rookie > novice > amateur etc. (whatever the ranks are) up to Artisan, then repeat. Adept will be exactly the same, but will have a day of Adept on the end of that, so the higher your rank, the more days you get of high(er) ranking guild items to hand in.
So yes, that part follows a set pattern, (even if I explained it terribly) but even though you may know that for your rank, tomorrows guild point item will be Artisan level, there's no way of knowing which Artisan item it will be.
Sammitch, I was actually wondering this same thing only about half an hour ago, FFXIH does have a list of sorts, because it knows all the pieces that can be turned in for what rank, but I haven't seen it actually populated into an actual viewable list. I actually have no idea how many different items there even are for each rank.
