What problem does it solve?
For Final Fantasy XIV players, manually planning crafting routes, tracking raw material requirements, and comparing market prices for materials and finished goods is time-consuming and prone to error, leading to wasted gil and inefficient gathering or crafting sessions.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Recipe Decomposition & Material Flattening: Automatically break down any FFXIV crafting recipe into all required raw materials, including intermediate craft components, eliminating manual tracking.
- Market-Aware Buy vs. Craft Analysis: Pull live market board prices to compare the cost of purchasing materials directly versus crafting them yourself, to maximize gil profit.
- Organized Planning Lists: Generate Teamcraft-compatible shopping and crafting task lists for any recipe, with clear steps for gathering, crafting intermediates, and producing final items. For example, if you want to craft 10 high-level crafting gear pieces, this skill will calculate all base material requirements, flag which materials are cheaper to buy from the market, and produce a step-by-step plan to gather or craft everything you need.
Quick Start
Use the ffxiv-crafting skill to create a full material and cost plan for crafting 5 of the [target item name] recipe, including live market price comparisons for all required materials and a list of which items to buy versus gather or craft.
