FFXI Compare - Build And Compare Gear Sets Online

I've been working on a little web application that will allow building and comparing equipment sets in order to quickly generate a +/- comparison for all stats.

So far, the items available very much match the item library many of you are probably familiar with from Izanami's Python "All Jobs Damage Simulator and Gear Sets" - which means you are largely limited to building TP/Engaged sets and weaponskill sets at this time. Using the gear data he compiled was the easiest way to get started, but I hope to add more items making it possible to build and compare other sets (eg precast and midcast sets).

Also, eventually I hope to add a way to save and recall sets you've built, as well as an "export to lua" feature. Other ideas are welcome. Hope you enjoy, and please share feedback.

Hell yeah this is exciting!
Does not format properly on my phone had to use desktop mode which is not a deal breaker.

Will we see functions like quicklook tp and quicklook ws make it to the website?

This might be coming out of left field but something I always dreamed.... if one is able to export all inventory gear, is it at all possible to import that and basically spit out an 'optimize' set for whatever it is that is owned as opposed to BiS on items that have yet to be obtained.

Anyway, I love the comparing of sets! Great job and I look forward to this!

This Guy is onto something

The python simulator by Izanami does exactly that: it lets you import the results of //gs export, and only consider that gear.

He wants it for all of his gear across every bag, not just the 16 slots he has equipped and exports.

Yea, perhaps this could eventually get to the place where you could build a personal inventory if items owned (like check a box "yes I have this").

From there I see some potential in some BASIC optimization - something like "find the set(s) with the highest combined STP + Double Attack while maintaining 25% haste and 50% DT using the gear i own". I think downloading and using Izanami's Python sim can already do what you want though.

Also, what is quicklook tp and quicklook ws? QuickDraw for COR? Anyway yes, I do want to add more (all) stats. I just used the stats in the python sim repository to get up and running. Trying to come up with the best way to get more complete high quality data with more items and complete stats (including defense,hp,mp) which arent in the python sim.

//gs export all

The above command exports all the items you own on that characters

Izanami's tool then lets you import the resulting file and use only the gear that you own for the calculations

(caveat being that the gear must also be in the tool's own database)

I'm telling you it does exactly that:

I won't be doing it justice and this is my assumption but based on a selected target monster Izanami's calculator takes the values and level and does some of the reverse engineered formulas for weapon skill and base damage

The quick look ws function I think just does one and you can also use a sim mode to run multiple and graph it to really get a full picture.

The quicklook tp I believe would do something like delay stp and da ta qa chance job trait ability haste and gives you an estimate of tp per hit and time to ws *depending on the target value

Cool. I missed that and misunderstood from your first post where you mentioned //gs export. Wasn't aware it worked with the 'all' condition. Thanks for clarifying.

Got it got it. Yea in all honesty, I have not played with the sim myself, but I do refer the the general purpose sets he publishes very often!

Anyway, I do want to keep this project pretty focused on just a way to build and compare sets or certain combinations of items.

pretty cool, definitely has potential!

Should look better on mobile now. Will still be easier to use on desktop of course.

Thank you!!

Now time to find a tutorial on how to do that lol

edit: seriously, I don't know why this isn't working but I import it and its like nothing changes.

Massive improvement

I would consider adding support for ingesting a specific Lua-formatted file with equipment sets, or AshitaCast XML:

Found this random WHM XML example on the net

You would only parse/ingest the <set> and <sets> tags.

I love the community spend time and effort on these tools.
But a bit of my heart is sad that we focus so much on DD

E.G. i jsut tried to do my WHM enfeeling set and no theophany gear

Anyway it looks really nice, good job.

Thanks, and know that I completely agree. One of my main goals is to get all the gear added to support caster sets fully!
