This project is a simple .NET 5 WPF tool for helping maximize MGP gained from the Mini Cactpot game in FFXIV.
You can read about the Cactpot games here.
The project attempts to solve two different problems:
- Which slot should you uncover next to maximize your chances to maximize your MGP gain.
- Which line should you select based on what you can see to maximize your MGP gain.
Launch using .NET CLI
PS C:\users\jsmrc\documents\git\cactpot> dotnet run
Alternatively, you can download the binary release and run from there.
The tool will pop up a WPF window. Each button represents one of the scratch ticket slots in-game, which when clicked will allow you to select the value at that location. To start the game, click the slot which is revealed on your in-game cactpot card and give it a value.
The board will then turn one or more slots bronze, which are the recommended slots to reveal for your next turn:
Repeat this until the game is finished and the solver recommends a row/column/diagonal to use to maximize your MGP winnings:
Enjoy!
