View Full Version : Tool for Gear Loadouts?

Does anyone know of a tool for putting together gear loadouts? Ideally something like Ron's Character Planner, but for gear? Best would be if it had an "Export to Forums" function like the character planner, but I think I would have seen the posts if something standardized like that existed.

I have a vague memory of there being at last a well developed Excel spreadsheet floating out there, and I think I remember a webapp of some kind, but I'm not finding either one.

I recently put together a formal target gear list for one of my builds (here (https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/440475-Bladed-Crusader-(Bladeforged-Fvs-18-Pal-2)?p=5315713&viewfull=1#post5315713)), and while I think it came out quite nicely, it was a lot of manual work and wiki searching and then some clumsy formulas in Excel to get the BBCode export working.

Alternately -- does anyone have a database of current gear I could use if I wanted to try building a tool like this myself? I could probably fetch things from the wiki, but I'm not sure of the accuracy or of whether that's permitted by its terms of service.

I don't know how up to date it is though. Looks like thunderholme/haunted halls gear isn't there

I am probably being stupid, but I have no idea how to use this. At first glance, I thought the interface was supposed to let you drag items into particular gear slots. But if so, I can't figure out how -- instead, it seems like the slots just allow you to filter the search criteria. Is that right?

I'm thinking this is more of an semi-visual item search rather than a gearing planner. But I might just be misunderstanding it.

The character planner had one, but until they get the code all sorted out, you are sol I think.
