MinBeth User Guide

MinBeth handles crafting, gathering, fishing, material sourcing, Market Board trading, and Retainers. Create an Order for what you want, choose how MinBeth should get it, then start the queue.

Dependencies

Cypher Craft Required Required for crafting, craft solving, and simulations. MinBeth uses Cypher Craft to work out whether a craft is possible with your current gear and how much starting quality is needed.
Cypher Craft DT Required for Dawntrail Required alongside Cypher Craft.
Market Analysis Optional Only required if you want to use MinBeth's Economy integration. It is not a general MinBeth dependency.
If you only use gathering, fishing, Retainers, or other non-crafting features, Cypher Craft is not needed for those features. Any Order that needs crafting or craft solving requires Cypher Craft.

Quick Start

  1. Create an Order.
  2. Choose the item and amount.
  3. Choose how materials should be sourced.
  4. Check the Order.
  5. Press START QUEUE.

That is the basic MinBeth workflow. The Progress page shows what the current Order is doing or waiting for.

Orders

An Order tells MinBeth what you want, how many you want, and how it should be obtained.

Amount Options

Inventory Cap Make or obtain enough to reach the amount you entered.
Replenish Make or obtain the full amount you entered, regardless of what you already have.
Retainer Sales Restock an item already being sold by one of your Retainers.

Craft Quality

For crafted items, choose HQ, NQ, or Quick Synthesis. MinBeth works out the required crafts, subcrafts, and materials before starting.

How HQ Planning Works

For an HQ Order, MinBeth does not blindly make every subcraft HQ.

  1. MinBeth checks the crafter and gear you will use.
  2. It runs simulations through Cypher Craft.
  3. It works out the minimum starting quality needed to reliably HQ the final craft.
  4. It then works backwards through the recipe and only makes as many HQ subcrafts as are actually needed to reach that quality.
If you do not want MinBeth crafting HQ subcrafts: when Market Board sourcing is allowed, MinBeth can instead work out how many HQ subcrafts would need to be bought. It will only use that plan when suitable HQ listings are actually available.

Material Sourcing

This controls what MinBeth is allowed to do when an Order is missing materials.

Automatic / Gather and Craft Use what you own first, then gather or craft what is missing.
Buy Unobtainable Buy a material only when MinBeth cannot gather or craft it.
Buy Recipe Materials Allow buying for materials needed through the recipe chain.
Buy Direct Ingredients Only allow buying for ingredients used directly in the final recipe.
Gather Only Gather the materials without crafting the final item.

Depending on the item and your settings, MinBeth can source materials from your inventory, synced Retainers, crafting, gathering, fishing, NPC vendors, exchanges, reduction, mob drops, or the Market Board.

Market Board

Buying

Market Board buying is optional. When enabled, MinBeth can buy missing materials or required HQ subcrafts allowed by the Order's sourcing option.

MinBeth checks Universalis prices across the worlds on your Data Center, works out the cheapest usable listings, and can travel to another world to buy them.

Use the Market Board settings to control price limits, how much gil should be kept, and whether HQ or NQ items are allowed.

For HQ crafting, Market Board buying can be part of the quality plan. If MinBeth needs a certain amount of HQ starting quality, it can calculate the exact number of HQ subcrafts that need to be crafted or bought instead of treating every subcraft as HQ.
Important: A price limit of 0 means no limit. Set your gil and price limits before enabling automatic buying.

Market Board buying is for materials and subcrafts used by the Order. It does not buy the finished item for the Order.

Selling

MinBeth can manage Retainer listings, reprice items, revisit Retainers automatically, and restock known listings with Retainer Sales Orders.

Retainers

Sync each Retainer so MinBeth knows what they are holding and what they are selling.

Once synced, Retainer stock can be included when MinBeth plans an Order. You can also deposit and withdraw items, manage listings, and repeat ventures from MinBeth.

Deposit Blacklist

Add important items to the blacklist if you never want MinBeth depositing them onto a Retainer.

When your inventory is nearly full, MinBeth may move safe items to a Retainer to make room. Order items, food, and medicine are protected.

Good to Know

  • Crafting dependency: Any Order that needs crafting or craft solving requires Cypher Craft. Dawntrail crafting also requires Cypher Craft DT.
  • Economy integration: Market Analysis is only required for Economy integration.
  • Timed gathering nodes: MinBeth waits for the correct Eorzea time or weather.
  • Fishing: Fish with time or weather requirements wait until their window is available. Rod fishing and spearfishing are supported.
  • NPC vendors: Vendor buying is separate from Market Board buying.
  • Retainer stock looks wrong: Sync the Retainer, then refresh the Order.
  • Queue not moving: Check Progress to see what MinBeth is waiting for.
Sell, Discard, and Desynthesis: Always check the selected item and amount before starting. Discarded items cannot be recovered.
