Workflow

Plan inputs before running the sim

Follow the staged flow, then launch the calculation (coming soon). Each panel will connect to shared utilities so you never re-enter the same loadout twice.

Weapon combo simulator

Pick a weapon, smithing level, and combo string (Slash + Stab + Charge). Frame data inputs will estimate sustained DPS.

Loadout multipliers

Reuse armor, trinkets, consumables, and mutations from the Loadout Builder to stack buffs exactly like in-game.

Enemy profile

Choose a preset creature or paste custom resistances, weaknesses, and HP to calculate time-to-kill.

Data pipeline

Datasets powering the DPS engine

The calculator stays fresh by reading JSON artifacts generated by the wiki collectors. Once available, these files feed both the Loadout Builder and this DPS module.

FAQ

What players keep asking

Is this calculator updated for patch 1.4?
Yesβ€”data manifests will show the current version and we refresh after every major balance pass.
Can I trust the multiplier order?
We follow the documented order (base β†’ combo β†’ buffs β†’ enemy) and expose each multiplier for transparency.
Will this replace spreadsheets?
That’s the goal. We export CSV/JSON so you can double-check or import into legacy sheets if needed.
