An Ashita v4 addon for FFXI that tells you, at a glance, when each mob you killed is about to repop and where its corpse landed.
⚠️ Respawn windows and entity behavior differ between servers — YMMV. Tune the defaults for your environment.
- Tracks mob deaths via HPP-scan — no packet hooks, no chat scrape. It watches the entity table for HP
0with a previous non-zero, on mob entities only. - Only your kills — by default, only mobs claimed by you or your party/alliance at time of death are tracked. Random mobs killed by passers-by don't get added to the list. Toggle in the config tab or with
/dc mine. - Predicts respawn using a configurable default window (349s — based on observed claim-mob respawns; tune for your server) and per-name overrides.
- Color-tiered ETA bars — fully configurable. By default: 6 bands from "Fresh Kill" red through orange / yellow / green / cyan / white at pop.
- NMs tab — auto-detects Notorious Monster kills from the death chat (FFXI omits the "The " article for NMs) and keeps a persistent kill counter with ToD per mob. Once flagged, NMs are excluded from the respawn list (window/lottery spawns don't fit a fixed timer model).
- Placeholder learning — records the server-side spawn slot (server_id) of every kill, so once the addon has seen the same slot host both an NM and a non-NM, it knows that non-NM is the NM's placeholder. PH kills then get a
[PH]tag on the kills tab, a chat callout ([PH for Spiny Spipi]), and tooltip naming the NM. Use/dc targetto inspect a live target's slot history before you swing. - 3D return-arcs drawn in-world from your character to each death spot, colored by the same 5-band palette so a glance at the screen tells you what's about to pop (vendored from
targetlines). - Floating mob labels that ride the apex of each return-arc so you can identify which line goes to which corpse — even when you've kited halfway across the zone.
- "Keep pop visible" window — kills stay in the list for N seconds after they pop so you have time to actually look at them.
- Session-only ignore set — mute noise mobs (
/dc ignore Svana Rarab) without persisting the choice across reloads.
Default respawn, tracking + arc toggles, per-mob overrides, and a fully editable color/threshold table.
Live mob list with ETA bars, direction + yalms to corpse, single-click clear.
Auto-populated kill counter for Notorious Monsters with ToD timestamp. Right-click a row to reset the counter or un-flag the mob.
Same kills tab, but now slot 0x01074130 has been observed hosting Spiny Spipi — so the third Crawler row (the one at that slot) is tagged [PH]. Hover for the NM name; identical-name mobs at other slots stay untagged.
Arcs colored by remaining time, labeled at the apex with mob name + ETA.
- Drop the
deathclock/folder intoAshita\addons\. - In game:
/addon load deathclock. /dcto toggle the window./dc helpis not a thing — see commands below.
deathclock is fully standalone. Its 3D-line machinery (drawArc, world-to-screen projection) is vendored under vendor/targetlines/ — see vendor/targetlines/NOTICE.md for attribution.
/dc toggle window
/dc show | hide
/dc list print pending kills + ETAs to chat
/dc clear [Name] clear all, or just this mob
/dc add "Mob Name" <secs> per-mob respawn override
/dc default <secs> change global default respawn
/dc ignore [Name] mute this mob for the session
/dc unignore [Name] unmute (or clear all)
/dc lines toggle 3D return-arcs
/dc mine toggle "only my kills" filter
/dc all toggle "always show arcs" (bypass elapsed-pct threshold)
/dc nm list print tracked NMs + counts to chat
/dc nm add <Name> manually flag a mob as NM (sweeps it from kills tab)
/dc nm reset <Name|all> reset kill counter for one NM, or all
/dc nm forget <Name> un-flag a mob as NM (so it goes back to the respawn list)
/dc target inspect current target: name, server_id, slot history (NM/PH evidence)
/dc slots summary of slots with PH evidence (slot has hosted both an NM and a non-NM)
/dc slots verbose full dump of every slot observed + per-name kill counts
/dc slots tag <id> <Name> manually seed a slot/NM pair (accepts decimal or 0xHEX server_id)
/dc slots clear wipe slot_map (start placeholder learning over)
/dc mobdb toggle mobdb integration (auto-detect Notorious via its data files)
/dc test drop a TestMob entry to verify rendering
/dc diag dump last label-render error (if any)
/rt <subcmd> short alias for /dc <subcmd>
Everything below is editable from the config tab — no need to hand-edit XML:
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
tracking |
Master on/off for kill tracking |
only my kills |
When on, skip mobs claimed by others. Uses GetClaimStatus low 16 bits vs. party/alliance server IDs at the frame before death |
return arcs |
Master on/off for 3D arcs |
arc: X% elapsed |
Don't draw arcs until X% of the respawn window has elapsed. 0 + "always on" = always draw |
keep pop visible (s) |
How long popped (Ready) mobs stay in the list before auto-clearing |
default respawn (s) |
Global default if no per-mob override exists |
use mobdb |
When mobdb is installed, read its zone data files to detect Notorious mobs and auto-route them to the NMs tab on first kill. Respawn timers stay HorizonXI-tuned (349s default), since mobdb data is retail/AirSkyBoat-era |
bg opacity |
Window background transparency (0.0 = fully transparent, 1.0 = opaque) |
per-mob overrides |
Named exceptions to the default |
colors & thresholds |
Number of color bands + the percent-elapsed boundary + display color for each |
