Gemini and I got in to it last night
I edited my crafting compass to allow search from hq crystals and a escutcheon line to each crystal

It kept telling me I had a } at the end of my code
And I knew I didn’t
I tried in vs code I tried in notepad++
I turned on the extra characters in notepad ++
I copied everything until the last line and wrote that manually 
I deleted my file and rewrote it several times

It was so damn adamant it had a } at the end
I kept sending my .py and it kept saying
I’m sorry I know code not working can be frustrating 
And I was keeping it cool
But it was frustrating me Gemini kept trying to calm me down and so damn adamant I had an unnecessary character at the end

So for once I gave up on Gemini and tried my own things out
I had a sequence of code named “escutcheon enhancement hq”
I even asked Gemini if this was alright and it said it was fine as long as I used the exact same phrase
So I initially thought okay it’s fine
But that’s when the program broke
So I changed “escutcheon enhancement hq” to “escutcheon” 
Aaannnnd it fixed it 
So I told Gemini I fixed it and what I did

And Gemini was like that’s great but your .py still has the unnecessary }
And that’s when I hit her with no it doesn’t you said my program wouldn’t work if it did and it does work
Gemini was actually broke last night lol

I hope I don’t have the same issue in the future
I stayed calm and got a little upset Gemini kept trying to keep me calm
Then I told Gemini I fixed it and Gemini still said it was wrong
I even told Gemini there’s no way that character is there you said it wouldn’t work with it and it’s working perfectly fine

I was stumped lol
Glad I figured it out
Without geminis help lol

Officially Upbeat is a Capped Skill Digger 12/1/25

 Just to prefix, previously I thought I had capped skill but I checked during a chocobo digging campaign that lowered zone dig time. I ended up being rank 7 when I finally checked without the campaign, but for months thought I was capped and quit digging.

It has been a few months since then and managed to get that oh so desired rank 10 expert today.
Only took me about 15 or 16 days to go from rank 9 to rank 10 using sky blue silk, max endurance choco, and chocobo rope.
This is assuming 6,000 digs total, at 100 a day normally, 200 with capped endurance meaning instead of 60 days, 30 days and sky blue silk which gives skill 50% of the time so instead of 30 days 15 days

I can confirm once you cap you no longer receive skill up messages with sky blue silk.
chocobo rope seems to help quiet a bit but very hard to test.

Now i'm exciting to work on my other characters which I have been taking a break from doing.
So cool to have capped skill finally, I'm not sure which zone I want to dig first with my capped skill, probably rolanberry fields in the past, that's one of my favorites, very cool zone for digging

WOOOOOOOOOO capped digging skill on upbeat !

Ideas for an updated synth sim mini game

Hello everyone !
I've been tinkering with the idea of writing an advanced synth sim as sort of a mini game.
most of the features I do not know how to write so it would be a learning experience for me
I am going to list some of the features I have thought of
this first test is going to be bonecrafting only but could easily expand to all crafts even including digging and fishing

A Long Journey

Started my journey on developing 7 more characters for chocobo digging
Doing some simple math
200k a day from digging logs and npcing them
8 characters so 2m a day
1 month, 30 days, 60,000,000 60 million per month npcing logs
really good projected profit from crunching numbers
I'll definitely need to rank up digging first which is the longest part
need to get rank 7 or 8 at least which is a few months of daily digging to fatigue

Bard gearsets & macros

TP:
A tp set is used to generate tp by meleeing. This set consists of Store TP, Multi Attack, Haste, Accuracy, Attack doesn't hurt but it doesn't do much.
I tested different capes double attack, dual wield, & stp. Results in testing show store tp is the better of the three choices.
With this set honor march and haste II you can consistently skillchain every time.
