What problem does it solve?
FFXIV players often struggle to find accurate, up-to-date market board prices across different worlds and data centers, making it difficult to make profitable decisions about buying, crafting, or gathering items.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Live Market Data Queries: Access current listings, sales history, average prices, and sales velocity for any FFXIV item via the Universalis API.
- Cross-World Price Comparison: Compare item prices across all worlds in a data center to find the cheapest available listings.
- Profitability Analysis: Calculate potential profit margins for crafted or gathered items by combining market price data with material costs, especially when paired with the ffxiv-crafting skill. Use case: A player looking to craft a high-demand weapon can check the current price of all required materials across their data center, calculate total material cost, and compare it to the current sale price of the finished weapon to determine if the craft is profitable.
