FFXIV MakePlace Housing Price Tool

Fetches relevant housing item prices and tallies them up given a MakePlace house item list from the MakePlace app. This currently only supports english, but could change in the future.

How To Use

• Install all the packages in the packages section below.
• Create a .env file in the root of this project, and fill out all the information specified in .env.example.
• Run the tool with python and the following parameters:
  • <home_list_file> (Required): The name of the save, not the file. For example, if the file is named test_home_2.list.txt, input test_home_2.
  • <data_center> (Optional): The data center to fetch prices from. Should look like: Aether, Crystal, Etc...
  • <gil_cutoff> (Optional): The amount in an item has to be under to be included in the running total. For if you want to exlude the 4 million Gil tonberry statue.
• Example Runs:
  • python app.py <home_list_file>
  • python app.py <home_list_file> <data_center>
  • python app.py <home_list_file> <data_center> <gil_cutoff>
  • python app.py <home_list_file> <gil_cutoff> <data_center>
  • python app.py <home_list_file> <gil_cutoff>
• Optionally, if you don't want to open your MakePlace Save folder, you can use: python app.py list and it will print out all the available house saves you can reference for the above commands.
  • The "list" argument only works if no other arguments are supplied.

Packages

• requests
• python-dotenv
• chardet

Known Issues

• Local prices ignore DC. So if you fetch a bunch from Aether, and then query from Crystal, it'll use the same local prices.
  • Workaround: Delete the local data/item_prices.json file to get new prices for the new DC.
• There are probably more items that don't exist in the data/item_db.json file that could cause problems. Currently an error is printed so this shouldn't be an issue, but could possibly cause some weird edge case.
  • If you know of any more that could be missing, add them to the src/local.py > excluded_items_list array.
