FFXIV crafting bot

Tell it what you want to craft.

Drakos is a crafting bot for Final Fantasy XIV that runs as a Dalamud plugin. Order finished items, and it plans the materials, gathers or buys what you need, and runs the crafts. From raid food to a batch of gear, the order includes the work that comes before the final recipe.

How it works

  1. Tell Drakos what to make

    Add the food, medicine, or gear you want to an order. Group orders to finish one batch before starting the next, or import a list shared by a friend.

  2. Let Drakos plan the materials

    Drakos accounts for materials you already own and works out what to craft, gather, or buy. It plans the intermediates as well as the final recipes. It can even farm monsters and FATEs to get materials.

  3. Run the crafting order

    The solver uses your stats and quality target to choose a rotation. Drakos crafts the intermediates and finished items, adjusting when Good or Excellent conditions appear.

Not a fixed rotation

A macro plays the same steps every time. When Good or Excellent comes up, Drakos re-plans the rest of the craft and finishes in fewer steps when it can.

Crafting features

  • Crafting solver

    Solves a rotation for your stats, starting quality, and HQ or collectability target. You can preview the rotation before starting a craft.

  • Proc awareness

    Adjusts the rotation when Good or Excellent comes up, using the extra quality to finish in fewer steps when possible.

  • Order planning

    Figures out what to craft, gather, or buy for your orders, accounting for materials you already have. Schedules the work around timed nodes and travel between tasks.

  • HQ intermediates

    Works out which intermediates need to be HQ to reach your final quality target, so you don't have to set up each recipe yourself.

  • Order groups

    Put orders into groups and run them in sequence. Finish tonight's pots before starting a batch of gear.

  • Import and export orders

    Import and export order lists to share with friends or use on another machine.

  • Expert crafting
