XIV-Datamining

This repository is to serve as a place to share data mining information related to Final Fantasy XIV. All findings and knowledge that each member discovers will be provided here for all in the FFXIV Community to read, learn and use.

Huge thanks to the community team members involved:

Updating CSV files:

  • Download and open SaintCoinach.cmd
  • Run: rawexd
  • Copy all the contents in the folder: <date>/rawexd/** to the /csv folder
  • Push a PR

The idea is to maintain an easy diffing view of what has changed during a patch

It would also be very useful to keep a history of ex.json files from SaintCoinach for each patch as the Korean and Chinese versions are on different patches than the Official live client.

Helping out

Getting started in datamining is quite easy. If you enjoy digging around CSV database files then you've come to the right place! The best place to start would be:

  • Download this repository and start looking at the files in the /csv folder
  • Download SaintCoinach and use either the SaintCoinach.Cmd or Godbert tools.

If you find a connection between files or an identification of data, throw up an issue on the repository and it will be sorted :)

  • Connection between files could be an number in 1 column that matches the numbers in another column or even another file
  • Identification of data could be values in a column that have a meaning and a pattern can be observed (eg ClassJob ID, or Craft Level)

The tools of the trade

Saint Coinach
