Stats - FFXI Windower Addon

Author: Garyfromwork Version: 1.0.0 Commands: //stats or //st

Overview

Stats is a comprehensive combat statistics tracking addon for Final Fantasy XI (Windower). It monitors your combat performance in real-time, tracking accuracy, damage, and spell effectiveness on a per-fight basis.

Unlike other parsing tools that aggregate all combat data together, Stats keeps each fight separate, allowing you to analyze your performance against specific enemies and compare results across multiple encounters.

Features

  • Per-Fight Tracking - Statistics are tracked separately for each enemy you engage
  • Melee Statistics - Accuracy, critical hit rate, damage min/max/average
  • Ranged Statistics - Accuracy, critical hit rate, damage tracking
  • Weapon Skill Analysis - Per-WS accuracy, damage min/max/average
  • Magic Accuracy - Track how often enfeebling spells land vs resist
  • Spell Damage - Min/max/average damage for nukes
  • Job Ability Tracking - Damage from abilities like Jump, Chi Blast, etc.
  • Fight History - Review past fights and compare performance
  • Enemy Aggregation - Combine stats across all fights with the same enemy type
  • Real-Time Overlay - Draggable on-screen display showing current fight stats
  • Export Function - Save your stats to a text file for later analysis

Installation

  1. Download the Stats addon
  2. Extract to your Windower/addons/Stats/ folder
  3. In-game, load with //lua load stats
  4. (Optional) Add to your Windower/scripts/init.txt for auto-loading

//stats

Output:

=== Greater Colibri ===
Melee Accuracy: 92% (184/200)
Melee Damage: 12450 (Min: 45 / Max: 187)
Weapon Skills Used: 3 types
Spells Cast: 2 types

Detailed Report

For comprehensive fight analysis:

//stats report

Output:

========== Detailed Report: Greater Colibri ==========
Duration: 2:34
Result: Victory
--- Melee ---
  Accuracy: 92% (184 hits / 200 swings)
  Crit Rate: 12% (22 crits)
  Damage: 12450 total (Avg: 67)
  Normal: Min 45 / Max 112
  Critical: Min 98 / Max 187
--- Weapon Skills ---
  Savage Blade:
    Uses: 5 (Hit: 100%) | Damage: 24500
    Min: 4200 / Max: 5800 / Avg: 4900
  Chant du Cygne:
    Uses: 3 (Hit: 100%) | Damage: 31200
    Min: 9800 / Max: 11400 / Avg: 10400

Tracking Magic Accuracy

To check how well your enfeebling magic is landing:

//stats spell "Sleep II"

Output:

=== Spell Stats: Sleep II ===
Sleep II:
  Casts: 15 | Landed: 12 (80%) | Resisted: 3

This is particularly useful for determining if you need more Magic Accuracy gear against specific enemies.

Enemy Type Analysis

To see your aggregate performance against a type of enemy:

//stats enemy Colibri

This combines all fights with enemies containing "Colibri" in their name, showing your overall accuracy and damage patterns.

Weapon Skill Comparison

To analyze a specific weapon skill:

//stats ws "Savage Blade"

Output:

=== Weapon Skill Stats: Savage Blade ===
Savage Blade:
  Uses: 45 | Hits: 43 (95%)
  Damage: 198000 total
  Min: 3200 / Max: 6800 / Avg: 4400

Understanding the Statistics

Melee Accuracy

  • Swings: Total auto-attack attempts
  • Hits: Successful attacks that dealt damage
  • Accuracy %: (Hits / Swings) * 100
  • Crit Rate: Percentage of hits that were critical

Weapon Skills

  • Uses: Number of times you used the WS
  • Hits: WSs that dealt damage (vs misses)
  • Min/Max/Avg: Damage range and average

Magic Accuracy

  • Casts: Total spell cast attempts
  • Landed: Spells that took effect
  • Resisted: Full resists (no effect)
  • Accuracy %: (Landed / Casts) * 100

Note: Partial resists (reduced damage/duration) are counted as "Landed" but also flagged as "Resisted" for tracking.

On-Screen Overlay

The overlay provides real-time statistics during combat. It can be:

  • Toggled: //stats overlay on/off
  • Dragged: Click and drag to reposition
  • Customized: Position saves between sessions

The overlay shows:

  • Enemy name
  • Melee accuracy and damage range
  • Weapon skill summary
  • Spell accuracy summary

Configuration

Settings are automatically saved and include:

Setting Default Description
parse_to_chat false Show damage numbers in chat log
overlay_enabled true Show on-screen overlay
auto_reset_on_new_fight true Auto-reset when engaging new enemy
history_limit 50 Maximum fights to keep in history

Tips

  1. Use //stats enemy for farming - Track your accuracy against specific mobs to optimize gear sets

  2. Compare WS performance - Use //stats ws to see which weapon skill performs best

  3. Test magic accuracy - Cast debuffs and check //stats spell to see if you need more macc

  4. Export before logging - Use //stats export to save your session data

  5. Reset between tests - Use //stats reset when changing gear to get clean comparisons

Troubleshooting

Stats not tracking?

  • Ensure you are the one dealing damage (party member damage is not tracked by default)
  • Check that the addon is loaded: //lua list

Overlay not showing?

  • Toggle with: //stats overlay on
  • Check if it's positioned off-screen and use //stats clear to reset

Numbers seem wrong?

  • Multi-hit weapon skills show total damage, not per-hit
  • Critical hits are tracked separately from normal hits for min/max
