FF14 Mini Cachepot Strategy Guide
Why This Calculator Helps
The FF14 Mini Cachepot board looks simple. It rewards careful choices. You reveal a few cells. You choose one row, column, or diagonal. The selected three numbers create a sum. That sum links to a fixed reward table. A strong line is not always the line with the largest visible number. Hidden cells can change the expected value.
Using Expected Value
This tool studies every valid hidden board. Known digits stay locked. Missing cells are filled with the remaining unique digits from one to nine. Each possible completion is treated as equally likely. The calculator tests all eight payout lines. It records average reward, possible low reward, possible high reward, and chance of a larger payout.
Choosing Better Lines
Expected value is useful because it converts uncertainty into one comparable number. A line with a huge possible prize may still be weak if that prize is rare. Another line may give steady medium rewards. The best pick is usually the line with the highest average payout. You can check net value after ticket cost.
Advanced Options
The payout table can be edited. This helps when you want to test custom rules or private examples. You can leave unknown cells blank. You can enter a nearly complete board. The result updates after submission. CSV export supports spreadsheet review. The PDF option creates a printable report for later study.
Practical Notes
Always enter unique numbers only. The real board uses each digit once. Duplicate values make the calculation invalid. Start with the cells you have revealed. Compare all rows, columns, and diagonals before choosing. The recommendation is statistical, not a guaranteed win. It shows the strongest average decision under the current information.
Common Strategy Ideas
Low sums and high sums often carry special rewards. Middle sums can be safer, yet smaller. Revealed corner values matter because corners belong to three lines. The center is even more important. It belongs to four lines. When the center is known, line strength becomes clearer. When it is hidden, many outcomes remain possible. Use the table to balance risk and consistency. Save reports when testing several scratch patterns.
Small checks often prevent expensive mistakes during final selection.
