FFXIMissingSpells

🔑 Hotkey

Default toggle: Alt+M

Press Alt+M in-game to show or hide the window. Goes through Windower's bind system, so the keybind is automatically suppressed while the chat bar, search box, or macro editor is open — won't fight with typing.

M for "Missing".

Slash-command equivalents: //ms, //missingspells, //mspells, //mt, //mtrust.

---

Tells you which spells and trusts your character still needs to learn. Started life as FFXIMissingTrust (the trust-only addon) and got expanded to cover the full spell book — thirteen tabs across the top: a TRUST tab that does exactly what the old addon did, plus twelve job tabs listing every spell that job can learn at lv 1-99. Each row is - red if missing or + green if already learned.

Install

Drop the FFXIMissingSpells folder into addons\. Then in-game:

//lua load FFXIMissingSpells

To autoload it every session, add lua load FFXIMissingSpells to scripts\init.txt.

Window

Press Alt+M to toggle the window in-game. The keybind is suppressed while chat is open so typing the letter 'm' still works normally.

//ms              — toggle the window (same as Alt+M)
//ms show         — show the window
//ms hide         — hide the window

The window has two strips of tabs:

• Title bar (top right) — Missing / Owned / All filter
• Beneath the title bar — thirteen tabs: TRUST | WHM | BLM | RDM | PLD | DRK | BRD | NIN | SMN | BLU | GEO | SCH | RUN

The TRUST tab is the original FFXIMissingTrust functionality: every trust in the game (minus Unity Concord variants) with its combat job tag and role descriptor.

The twelve job tabs show every spell that job can learn natively, sorted by level. Row format is [Lv NN] Spell Name (Skill). In the All mode entries are color-coded individually (red = missing, green = owned); in Missing / Owned the entire list is the matching color.

Mouse: drag the title bar to move. Mouse-wheel scrolls the list. Up/down arrow buttons appear on the right when there are more entries than fit on screen. Window position, current job tab, and current mode all persist to data/settings.xml.

Chat commands

Command	What
//ms count [TAB]	One-line "owned / total (missing)" summary for the given tab (defaults to current)
//ms list [TAB]	Print every missing entry for the tab in chat
//ms have [TAB]	Print every owned entry for the tab in chat
//ms find <name>	Search every tab — shows owned/missing status and which job(s) or trust role
//ms <TAB>	Quick-switch the active tab (e.g. //ms trust, //ms blm)
//ms mode <missing|owned|all>	Change the filter mode
//ms refresh	Re-read the spell book and redraw
//ms help	Show the help blurb

Aliases: //missingspells, //mspells, and //ms all work. The original trust-only command prefixes //mt and //mtrust are also kept as back-compat aliases so anyone with the old commands in their scripts keeps working.

How it works

• Iterates resources/spells.xml for every spell that has spell.levels[job_id] set for the selected job tab
• Filters out trust spells (spell.type == 'Trust') — those live in their own addon (FFXITrusts / FFXIMissingTrust if you still have it)
• Compares each spell ID against windower.ffxi.get_spells() — your actual spell book
• Sorts by level ascending, then alphabetically
• Skill column comes from res.skills[spell.skill].en if it's a recognized magic skill, otherwise falls back to spell.type (e.g. "Geomancy", "BlueMagic", "BardSong", "Ninjutsu", "SummonerPact")

Notes per job

• BRD — every song the job can learn natively, regardless of whether it's currently slotted in your active set.
• BLU — every Blue Magic spell. The addon does NOT check what's in your set spells; missing means you haven't learned it yet at all.
• SMN — covers SummonerPact spells (the avatar magics like Ramuh's Wind Blade, Aerial Armor, etc.), not the BPs themselves.
• NIN — Ninjutsu spell list (Utsusemi, elemental ni / san, status enfeebles, Tonko, etc.).
• GEO — Indi-, Geo-, Bolster, Entrust, the works. Geomancy type.
• SCH — strategos / addendum magic. Doesn't distinguish Light Arts vs Dark Arts; the level number is what matters.
• RUN — runes themselves aren't spells, so this tab is light. Lunge, Swipe, Gambit, Vallation etc. show here when they're stored as spells.

Renamed from FFXIMissingTrust

This repo started life as FFXIMissingTrust — only listed trusts. It got expanded to handle every magic school so it could replace the type-it-out-in-chat workflow for spell scrolls too. If you remember the old //mt commands, they still work.

Credits

• Isolraine @ Asura — provided the entire spell-acquisition database (formatted_spells.csv → libs/acquisition.lua and libs/acquisition_full.lua). Every vendor name, NPC location, gil price, monster drop list, BCNM source, and Blue Magic mob list that the addon shows comes from Isolraine's tables. Without that work this would just be a list of spell names with no context for where to get them. Massive thanks.
• The data layer also cribs from resources/spells.xml (Windower's bundled spell table) and windower.ffxi.get_spells() (your live spell book), same approach the Spellbook addon pioneered.
• Trust → job and trust → role tables curated from BG-Wiki.
