Ever spent an evening with six wiki tabs open, a spreadsheet, and a headache, trying to work out which named items give you the most Constitution *without* wasting a bonus type you already have covered (gear Tetris anyone?)? I did that one too many times....so I built a tool that does it exactly, in a few seconds, right in your browser.
This isn't a tier list and it isn't "what a good player usually wears." It's a real **optimizer**: you tell it the stats you care about, and it searches every wiki-sourced named item, augment, set bonus, and crafting option in the game and hands back the **single loadout that is mathematically the best** for your priorities — slot by slot, with the receipts (augments and upgrade recommendations).
No install, no login, nothing to download. Free. Works on desktop from your browser.

Why it's different
Most gear guides tell you *an* answer. This tells you *the* answer and **shows its work**.
Under the hood it's a genuine solver (a mixed-integer linear program running in your browser), not a pile of if-statements. It respects DDO's real rules:
- Bonus-type stacking done right....only the highest of each same-named type counts; different types add. It won't hand you two Insightful Con items and pretend they stack.
- Strict priority order. You rank the stats you want; it maximizes your #1 first, then your #2 without giving up any of #1, and so on. Same query always gives the same load out.
When it tells you a set bonus beats three individual items, it's because it **
proved** it.... and it'll show you the point-by-point comparison.

How to use it
1. Open the [
site].
2. Set your **minimum level cap**, and optionally race, armor type, and weapon setup.
3. Choose your **gear pool** — all gear in the game, or **only what you own** (import a Trove inventory export).
4. **Add the stats you want, in priority order** — reorder to play with outcomes. First = most important.
5. Hit **Solve.**
That's it. In well under a few seconds you get a full answer.

What you get back
- **The full equipped loadout** laid out slot by slot, every slot filled, set pieces highlighted.
- **A ranked-priority readout** showing *exactly where every point of every stat comes from* — which item, which set, which bonus type. No hand-waving.
- **A Loadout Deep Dive** listing every item's affixes and every craft, augment, and set-membership you'd need to apply to hit that build.
- **An Alternatives tab** — near-optimal trade-off builds (complete a *different* set, free up a slot, or take fewer crafting steps). Click any one to inspect it against the optimum.
- **An Item Browser** to search and filter the entire indexed roster.
And it doesn't stop at what drops — it tells you **what to craft**:
- Which **augment** goes in which slot (respecting the real color-fit rules — Colorless anywhere, Red into Red/Purple/Orange, etc., including Lunar/Solar).
- Which **"Sealed in X"** effect to unseal at the Ritual Table.
- Which **Nearly Completed** (Terror of Demogorgon) or **Viktranium** (Chill of Ravenloft) option to pick.
- Which **Dinosaur Bone insert** to slot (Isle of Dread).
- Which **set bonus to craft into a host** — *awaken* a set on a Vecna *Lost Purpose* item at the Cannith Repurposing Station, or slot a Set Bonus augment on a Dino Bone host — **including completing an artifact set** (Vol's Influence, Delight of the Devourer, and friends) that isn't found natively on *any* single item.

Save, share, come back later
- **Save characters** in your browser (nothing leaves your machine) and reload a build straight to its results.
- **Back up / restore** all your saved builds to a file to move them between devices.
- **Share a single loadout** as a forum-ready Markdown post, a clean CSV, or a print-friendly page — great for build threads right here.

What's coming
Filigrees are the big one I hear about most, and Green Steel / Thunder-Forged / Essence crafting are on the list. More enriched gear from the recent expansions keeps getting folded in. I'd love to know **which system you want next.**

Feedback wanted
This is a labor of love and it gets better the more real builds get thrown at it. If it gives you a weird answer, misses an item, or you want a system modeled — **please reply here.** Tell me the build you tried and the priorities you set, and I'll dig in.
Try it, break it, tell me what you find:
