What is FFXIV Wondrous Tails Calculator?
The FFXIV Wondrous Tails Calculator is a specialized utility used by players of Final Fantasy XIV to predict the outcome of Khloe Aliapoh’s weekly journal. By analyzing the 4×4 grid, the tool uses combinatorial mathematics to determine the likelihood of stickers forming lines.
Wondrous Tails relies on a “Shuffle” mechanic (using 2-7 Second Chance points) or manual placement. This calculator assumes you are looking at your final 9 stickers or evaluating if a shuffle is worth the points based on current probability thresholds for 2 or 3 lines.
How to Calculate Wondrous Tails Odds (Example)
- Identify Target: Assume you have 7 stickers placed and need 2 more to finish.
- Calculate Combinations: There are 9 empty slots remaining. You must place 2 stickers. Total ways = $\binom{9}{2} = 36$.
- Check Lines: Test each of the 36 possible outcomes for horizontal, vertical, or diagonal lines.
- Result: If 4 of those 36 outcomes result in 2 lines, your probability is $4/36 \approx 11.1\%$.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is 3 lines guaranteed? No, 3 lines in Wondrous Tails is never guaranteed; it is a statistical rarity (approx. 0.25% from a fresh shuffle).
When should I use Shuffle? It is generally recommended to shuffle when you have 7 stickers and zero chance of 2 or 3 lines based on your current layout.
Does sticker order matter? No, the game only checks the final configuration of 9 stickers on the 16-slot grid.
What are the best rewards? Typically, Khloe’s Gold Certificate of Commendation (3 lines) offers the highest market value via rare mounts.
