How scoring works

  • Offense uses average attack damage multiplied by family-based swing speed.
  • Defense uses health plus resistances converted to percentage points.
  • Cost sums recipe inputs with known material values; missing values fall back to raw quantities.
  • Value Score blends offense/defense, durability, and level fit against the crafting cost for the chosen weighting profile.
  • Rating System: S (≥20 stats/cost), A (≥15), B (≥10), C (≥5), D (<5) - Higher ratings mean better value.
  • Time Metrics: Crafting time estimates production duration. Usable time predicts durability hours based on equipment type and quality.
  • Cost per Hour: Shows the hourly investment rate - lower values mean better long-term efficiency.
  • Radar Chart: Visualizes top 3 items across all key dimensions for quick comparison.
  • All content is stacked vertically to stay readable on any screen size and avoid layout shifts.
