Hot take: Gatekeeping is good

Let's thought experiment the other extreme. What if it's stats +500? Ok, they can survive and have enough accuracy to hit things. Their decision tree and abilities are still gonna suck. What else? What are the other unintended consequences of SE over-correcting?

In my case I can say that when I removed Null Cape from the options, then it "rightfully" picked the Dex/DW cape option + Suppa + Reiki + Eabani (capped DW with /DNC, just what I would expect or something close to that).

If I put Null Cape back in the options, then it picks Null + Sailfi+1 R15 + Brutal + Cessance.


I mean... maybe that REALLY is the best option I dunno, but it sounds very very fishy to me, I think there's something off in the "attack Delay" calculations. The simulator reaches the 80% delay reduction earlier than it should, as a consequence it rightfully thinks adding more DW would do nothing and simply reduce tp/hit.
It makes sense, doesn't it?
Thing is... you're not at the 80% delay reduction when the simulator thinks you are, and this throws the results off.


JM2C, I'm dumb when it comes to math. We need someone proficient like Thorny, Simon or Byrth! XD

It found something I really didn't want people to find (I deleted it), not against the project in principle but its likely going to put more eyeballs on some authors stuff than they'd like. (people who back stuff up for personal use, were not the original author, have half baked/experiment/under development branches, don't want to support randos using their code etc...)

If people care about keeping their code private I'd recommend bitbucket over github anyways. (not an expert here, but when I wanted to back up sensitive code (not ffxi related) the terms of use seemed much more palatable several years ago (i set stuff up and roll with it until I feel there's good reason not to), someone more in the know may have a better recommendation).

unless it does more than increase HP/MP it's kinda meh... don't get me wrong, more HP/MP on them is nice, and can certainly carry you farther if you're soloing, but what they really need is a system to modify their AI. Even if it's just nominally.

The next version update is scheduled for early March.

With this version update, we are shifting the Trust magic system from a party-support role to one focused on expanding solo play. Going forward, we will continue refining its core mechanics as part of a broader overhaul of the overall system.

As a first step toward this goal, the March version update will implement a new system known as alter ego points that can be used to upgrade the stats of your alter egos.

This sounds good, no? As a non-multiboxxer, this month has felt extra quiet for... well, everything.

just pumping these in while im tinkering around in a work meeting

again minor improvement from removing choices.

once again a case of sub optimal findings

Again the difference is minor but it worry meat that i cant trust the findings .or is there some other goal its trying to archive that is unknown/not displayed?

it a small difference but it seems to happen regulary that something seems off to me and when i remove options then it will find a more optimal set even thoug that set combo was always available

Worst I remember was somewhere in the 1960s and had no snow. It was 5f, -15c, with a FIERCE wind roaring through the steel canyons. My car's battery froze and cracked. No idea of the humidity but it obviously enough to help the cold penetrate.

I have been more comfortable at -20f. I had never heard of a car battery freezing before. My electrolyte had to have been weak.

Agreed with everything else, but... The punishment for using third party software doesn't vary by addon, so the warning should be universal as well. Players have been and will continue to be banned because they thought they were using acceptable addons. This is almost giving them a reason to point a finger at you when that inevitably happens.

That was fun for a little while until you dug a little deeper and discovered he was Norwegian. His mom was born in Brazil or something and he didn't want to compete for a spot with his stacked Norwegian team. Of course Brazil took him.

Potentially yeah, not sure how to weigh 100% chance with ele obi vs the occasional(30% chance?) 15% boost

Those are some fair points, and valid criticism. I appreciate that, thank you.

1) I'll make sure your addons are not included going forward, and include a form for those who also do not want their addons included. If I can build the site into something people are happy to use, in time I will include a way for authors to opt out of being included on their repos, but that feels very presumptuous of me to do right now.
2) I will sort that so instead of linking to the Lua directly, it goes to the repo. Unsure why I didn't do it that way in the first place honestly, likely just inexperience on my part.
3) Licenses is a good point, and again, my fault for lack of experience, I will fix this up. Thank you.
4) This will likely be fixed with the move to linking to repos, instead of linking to addons directly, but I will make sure I do a pass to filter out libraries.

On the whole, thank you for the measured feedback, I appreciate all of it considering your experience.


There are always going to be people that are going to do something stupid, regardless of warnings, and suffer consequences. I do not feel that alone is worth preventing to try to do something that might help the majority.


I like the idea of a curated list, maybe that could eventually be the main tab of the website with "All" being an alternative. Thank you for the feedback.


I was actually very very scared to share this site publicly and it took some convincing from friends to get me to do so, because I was worried it was just going to be labelled "AI slop".

I know you don't me, and I don't know you, but I can promise you I am very strongly anti-AI. I've spent the last year or so teaching myself python, as I already knew a fair amount of HTML, and Lua from my previous career. I've driven my poor friends completely insane with questions about how to do this, or that, etc. I understand why you would make that assumption in today's world, but at the same time, I'm a little hurt that my work isn't good enough yet to stand out from AI, yet. I can only improve. As for your feedback...


1) I won't be doing this, right now, at least. Maybe in the future when I can curate a list of solid addons.
2) See my reply to Lili above.
3) Fair point, I'll change that.
4) I can do this as I manually review repos after making changes.
5) See my reply to Lili above.

Thank you for your feedback.

What do you mean how to find anchor? 3rd result https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=ffxi+anchor

This is horrible! I demand reparations! Rainbow mog pells, please! :)

Sylph booted me 3x in a row in a besieged around an hour or so ago. Enough to make sure I got no credit.

It isn't just Asura. It's happening on all servers and there's issues connecting throgh PoL.
Seeing as my JP friends and a few NAs are not having issues, there's probably a faulty node somewhere.

im still on too. But we did had allot of weird stuff in khamir about 4hrs ago. Saw people going red and dc. Even during a sortie run people had hard times staying logged on.

Only down for you

I got this error once last night, 10 seconds later it was fine

The idea of a centralized site sounds great but this is kinda throwing out AI slop vibes to me at least.

Here is some constructive criticism.
1) Ditch the whole massive list that is auto generated and instead hand tailor lists from safe to more risky.
2) Dont link directly to the lua file but to the owners repo itself.
3) Windowers official repo doesnt even really need to be listed here since all addons are in the launcher. Can make a note to check the launcher for official addons
4) If repos have a mix of safe and risky addons have a note that some addons from the repo could be risky.
5) If a repo author doesnt want to be in your list be respectful and remove them(or dont but then makes you seem shady and untrustworthy)

However I do think some addons/repos are better left in the shadows for reasons. We all may know something exists but doesnt need to be front and center on a site. It could also lead to bad things for noobs that dont fully understand what they are getting into.

Every "naysayer" is already using a lot of these addons.

The concern is around how this list is generated and who is responsible for its content.

FFXI basically runs on people working hard in their spare time to make addons work, and continue to work. I think this is a good idea and I hope the naysayers enjoy playing a laggy mess with non of the QoL features from addons stuff like this helps to support.

Seems to me that if OP wants to take the blame that's totally up to them. Maybe some people are too stupid to search effectively.

On the other hand, most of them are just shovelware. It'd be more useful to have a curated list of ~50 worthwhile addons written by hand with information on them than an auto generated list of 700 links to trash. It's a little easier to sift through than other search methods, but it's still mostly junk.

One reason I don't want my stuff to be in this collection, but not the only reason, is that the links are not to the repo but directly to each individual lua file.

I need users to be able to see, for example, the main repo-related readme rather than the per-addon ones, but also the links to my discord, the links to my patreon (I don't have one, saying in general), etc, otherwise we have a Google Search Snippets issue. Furthermore, you are not linking to repo licenses, which depending on the license might not be allowed.

Websites are also publicly available on the entire internet, yet we have robots.txt and scraper exclusion for a reason.

(also you're listing a million library files that are useless on their own, but this is a minor detail)

Quite literally the first thing under the title on that page is a warning against what you said here.

"Here's the list of everything. You assume all risks. Dont @ me when you get banned cause you loaded dumb ***."

new version working so much better. is there a post/link you can share on how to add monsters(would like to add the Sortie bosses).

I just did 3 sets for some of my jobs and it seems the SP reduc cap is not the same for each job.
It seems only WAR/MNK/THF/WHM/BLM/RDM can have SP-3. All other jobs are cap to -2.

So for my WAR i did : head-2/body-3/legs-1/feet-1 for a total of 3m30 reduction (relic hands gives more duration on MS so it's definitively better)

For BRD : head-2/body-2/hands-1/legs-1/feet-1 for a 3m30 reduction (relic legs are only 30sec duration for SV, only few circumstances where it's not worth)

For COR : head-2/body-2/hands-1/legs-1 for a 3min reduction (relic feet is better i think)

Is someone else can confirm these cap ?

Thank you for your contributions, this will definitely be a helpful tool for those who want an easy and simple way to look up for their addons (and most updated versions).



You're the first person to name a specific addon. The post didn't mention Anchor at all, so if we're talking about "Fight Club rules" that seems a bit ironic.

I appreciate what you're saying, and you present a good point, but I personally don't see the difference between someone finding an addon on github, downloading it without understanding it, and possibly resulting in punishment, and getting it from an aggregated source such as this. There's nothing stopping someone from just looking through github to find anything listed, my crawler is just using their API to find addons, ultimately, same as anyone can just find said addons using the right search terms.


There's currently no system in place, quite simply because this is all publicly accessible. Anything on the site can be found via a search on GH as I mentioned above. If there's a particular reason a repo owner does not want their stuff listed (but continues to want it publicly accessible?), I can look into it.
