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
Features:
The program would be online with an auction house that is stocked automatically and by other players
+1s and any item listed for sell gets sold on a random timer
many slots will be available to sell items
you start with a set amount of gil(around 50m)
first release skill will most likely be capped
you craft with the synth sim to try to get hqs to sell
there's a list of every synth
and a leaderboard for who has synthed the most amount of times and made the most gil
must be connected to internet to use the program
an option to quickly buy all the mats needed for a synth and synth it
you'll have an inventory
other possible features:
leveling up
all crafts including digging and fishing
an allowance of money to buy gil to use on mats to sell to get higher in the leaderboards
the program will be as realistic as possible with sell rates and prices being pulled from ffxiah for Odin
but upbeat, what is the point of buying expensive HQs? well you could buy cheap and sell high to make some extra gil. The prices on gear is going to fluctuate but a majority will be bought from the program itself. Considering exactly how I want the program to buy listed items.
so instead of a simple T4 T3 T2 T1 T0 button that just display your result
an entire mini game will be available
where the goal is to reach as high as possible on the leaderboard for total synths or most gil made
this program will have no impact on the ffxi client
it will just be a little mini game for visitors of upbe4t.com
if I do actually write it
I have a good feeling i'll give it a try in the next few days
fun project, proof of concept, social experiment
-upbeat
decided what the heck I'll try it out tonight
got this on my first attempt:
It's 5:16am I'm not tired I do have work in 6 hours
I think I'm going to stay up and code lol I'll sleep when I get home. Keep checking back for updates.
DOWNLOAD TO TEST:
WARNING FUTURE UPDATES COULD WIPE DATA
I tested on my second laptop and it did not work immediately
I installed this:
and it worked fine
LATEST VERSION 11/22/2025 6:10PM:
Changes: AH is now synced across all instances, Synths now require materials
Unreleased but implemented upgrades:
Mats listed from bots can now be listed as stacks of 12
Users can list items in quantities 1 6 or 12(needs some work, I imagine all items even rings can be sold as stacks)
