Announcing the FFXIV Crafting Optimizer

[Sadana]

I am still leveling all my DoH classes so perhaps I'm not understanding some skills yet. ^^; I entered my stats and let it solve for that bane of my crafting universe, Walnut Lumber. Why did it give me two Steady Hands back to back? My current method is something like: IQ, SH, (BTx2, ST on a good), MM, HT if SH still up (ST if good, then some touch skill to max quality and CSynth)... well at this point it really depends... if I've had good luck with the 'goods', I'll use touches to get max quality; if bad luck I'll use Rumination for another MM refill and just toss caution to the wind with a few HT.

/ac "Great Strides" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Steady Hand" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Inner Quiet" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Standard Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Great Strides" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Standard Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Great Strides" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Steady Hand" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Steady Hand" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Standard Touch" <me> <wait.3>
/ac "Careful Synthesis" <me> <wait.3>
/echo Macro step 1 complete <se.1>

I did activate all cross class skills available to me. I have all DoH classes between levels 32-35.

Glad to see you got it to work in Opera.

This is related to the second half of my reply to Thum.

Sorry, I have to use it in Firefox. ^^;; Still no luck with Opera.

I will re-read that comment, then. Thank you.

Sorry about the terse replies. I'm not very good at replying on my iphone :x

This simulator is not accurate. The Quality/Control as well as the Progress/Craftsmanship formulas are not calculating correctly.

I plugged in a rotation for a Rose Gold Cog, double checking every stat and number. Your calculator says it completes with 100% HQ, but in the game, I am left with 84% HQ and I need one extra Careful Synthesis II.

Please fix this.

First off, awesome tool!

It isn't quite accurate from a craftsmanship/progress POV, though. The difference in numbers is very small (1 at most in the 10 recipes I tried), but it was enough to cause two synths to fail for me. Here is a very basic spreadsheet with the data from testing a few CUL recipes.

In other news, I submitted a GitHub issue for ya. You can contact me there or PM me if you want more data. I have 3 DoH in the 20-30 range right now.

Not sure if I'm using this right!

It says this is 100% reliable, yet Advanced Touch failed because there was no Steady Hand to correct it to 100% chance of success (from 90%). Pretty sure those steps won't get very far regardless. Could be wrong though!

Great idea for a tool though, I hope you get it to 100% HQ

...It says this is 100% reliable, yet Advanced Touch failed because there was no Steady Hand to correct it to 100% chance of success (from 90%). Pretty sure those steps won't get very far regardless. Could be wrong though!...

if (progressGain > 0) {
reliability = reliability * successProbability;
}

From the code, it looks like reliability refers to the success of progress-increasing actions only. It starts as 100% and is modified by the success chance of any progress-increasing action taken. Quality steps are tricky due to the variability of condition (e.g. Poor, Normal, Good, and Excellent), which is likely why they're not used to calculate the reliability.

Hi. First off, thanks for this tool, it will be very useful!

Secondly, a stupid question and perhaps i've missed a post on it somewhere , but does the simulation assume hq or nq base materials?

[angrmgmt]

... does the simulation assume hq or nq base materials?

The simulation assumes you entered a "Start Quality" in the Synth section. If you didn't enter one, it uses 0 initial quality, which is the same as NQ mats.
