# Forge Master Strategy Optimizer
|
|
|
|
A small browser-only webpage for planning Forge Master gear upgrades and sacrifice decisions.
|
|
|
|
Forge Master characters can equip:
|
|
|
|
- 8 items
|
|
- 1 mount
|
|
- 3 pets
|
|
|
|
Each equipped piece has:
|
|
|
|
- A base stat: `damage` or `health`
|
|
- A base stat value
|
|
- 0, 1, or 2 effects depending on rarity
|
|
|
|
Effects start at `1%` and can be upgraded up to their cap.
|
|
|
|
## Supported effects
|
|
|
|
| Effect | Maximum |
|
|
| --- | ---: |
|
|
| Crit chance | 12% |
|
|
| Crit damage | 80% |
|
|
| Block chance | 5% |
|
|
| Health regen | 4% |
|
|
| Lifesteal | 20% |
|
|
| Double chance | 20% |
|
|
| Damage | 15% |
|
|
| Melee damage | 50% |
|
|
| Ranged damage | 15% |
|
|
| Attack speed | 40% |
|
|
| Skill damage | 30% |
|
|
| Skill cooldown reduction | 7% |
|
|
| Health | 15% |
|
|
|
|
## Optimizer goals
|
|
|
|
The app lets you enter the current state of all equipment and then recommends:
|
|
|
|
1. **What to increase next**
|
|
- Prioritizes effects by actual DPS gain for the selected combat style.
|
|
- Accounts for each effect's remaining room to grow before cap.
|
|
- Shows the DPS gain from the next `+1%` and from upgrading to cap.
|
|
- Crit damage has no DPS value until crit chance is above `0%`.
|
|
|
|
2. **What is best to sacrifice instead**
|
|
- Scores every equipped piece from its base stat and effects.
|
|
- Identifies the lowest-value pieces as likely sacrifice candidates.
|
|
- Explains why a piece is weak, such as missing effects, low base stat, or low-impact effects.
|
|
|
|
3. **Overall build summary**
|
|
- Totals base damage and health.
|
|
- Totals effect percentages across all items, mount, and pets.
|
|
- Shows calculated DPS and a defensive score to compare save slots.
|
|
|
|
## DPS model
|
|
|
|
The app calculates DPS from entered base damage and offensive effects:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
DPS = base damage
|
|
* (1 + damage%)
|
|
* (1 + selected style damage%)
|
|
* (1 + attack speed%)
|
|
* (1 + double chance%)
|
|
* (1 + crit chance% * crit damage%)
|
|
* skill cooldown multiplier, only for Skill style
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The selected combat style controls which specialized damage bonus is used:
|
|
|
|
- Melee uses melee damage.
|
|
- Ranged uses ranged damage.
|
|
- Skill uses skill damage and skill cooldown reduction.
|
|
|
|
All additive bonuses are evaluated against the current total. For example, if the build already has `+100% melee damage`, adding another `+50% melee damage` increases the melee multiplier from `2.0x` to `2.5x`, which is an actual `+25%` DPS increase rather than `+50%`.
|
|
|
|
Each item effect row displays its actual current DPS contribution and the marginal DPS gain from the next `+1%` upgrade.
|
|
|
|
## Strategy profile
|
|
|
|
The first version includes an adjustable strategy profile:
|
|
|
|
- Balanced
|
|
- Damage focused
|
|
- Survivability focused
|
|
- Skill focused
|
|
|
|
Each profile changes effect weights used for recommendations. These weights are intentionally transparent in the code so they can be tuned as better Forge Master formulas become known.
|
|
|
|
## Save slots
|
|
|
|
All data is saved in `localStorage` only. No server is used.
|
|
|
|
Features:
|
|
|
|
- Multiple named save slots
|
|
- Save current build to a slot
|
|
- Load an existing slot
|
|
- Delete a slot
|
|
- Automatic draft saving for the current unsaved work
|
|
|
|
## Import and export
|
|
|
|
The current build can be backed up or shared as JSON:
|
|
|
|
- Generate JSON in the text box and copy it.
|
|
- Download the current build as a `.json` file.
|
|
- Import by pasting JSON into the text box.
|
|
- Import by uploading a `.json` file.
|
|
|
|
Imports accept both the app's wrapped export format and the raw build object. Imported builds are normalized, rendered immediately, and autosaved as the current draft.
|
|
|
|
## Running locally
|
|
|
|
Open `index.html` in a browser.
|
|
|
|
No build step is required.
|
|
|
|
If serving from a local web server is preferred:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python3 -m http.server 8080
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then open:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
http://localhost:8080
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Implementation notes
|
|
|
|
This project is intentionally dependency-free:
|
|
|
|
- `index.html` contains the page structure.
|
|
- `styles.css` contains responsive styling.
|
|
- `app.js` contains state management, localStorage persistence, scoring, and recommendations.
|
|
|
|
The optimizer is heuristic, not a perfect simulator. It is designed to be useful immediately and easy to tune once exact Forge Master combat formulas are known.
