Interactive Build Planner

The interactive Build Planner is this wiki's flagship tool for No Rest for the Wicked character optimization. Unlike static build guides describing finished products, the planner lets you manipulate Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Faith, Health, Stamina, and Focus in real time — observing Equip Load thresholds, weapon requirement satisfaction, and rough survivability benchmarks before touching in-game stat screens.

Planner Features

• Stat sliders — Adjust all seven primary attributes with immediate feedback.
• Weapon requirement checker — Verify Wind of Death, Fetid Club, Falling Sky thresholds.
• Equip Load preview — See medium vs heavy roll implications when adding armor pieces.
• Build templates — Start from strength, dexterity, or magic-faith baselines.
• Share loadouts — Export for Together co-op party coordination.

When to Use the Planner

Before Crucible floor 5 respec: Model destination build avoiding second mistake. Co-op session zero: Assign tank, DPS, caster roles without stat overlap. Patch day: Re-test after balance changes ahead of Hardcore Breach attempts. New character: Complement best start guide with numeric targets.

Interactive Integration

The planner embeds on this page as an interactive component when deployed — adjust values live without leaving wiki. If embed loads slowly, refresh once; planner runs client-side without account login. No data sold or transmitted beyond optional anonymous usage metrics if configured site-wide.

Limitations

Planner approximates formulas from Early Access testing — Moon Studios may tweak scaling silently. Enchantments, runes, and temporary boons not fully simulated. Always confirm final damage in Sacrament training area post-respec.

Workflow Example

1. Import current stats from character screen screenshot.
2. Increment Dexterity until Wind of Death wields cleanly.
3. Add Health until Breach community minimum met.
4. Balance Stamina for three-dodge buffer.
5. Save share link for co-op partner reviewing strength tank build.
6. Execute respec at Crucible floor 5.

Stat Slider Behavior

Each primary stat slider updates derived displays in real time — Equip Load tier indicators shift when hypothetical armor weight added via template. Weapon requirement rows turn green when Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, or Faith thresholds met for preset weapons including Wind of Death, Fetid Club, and Falling Sky. Health, Stamina, and Focus sliders affect recommended survivability band warnings for Hardcore content.

Template Starting Points

Co-op Loadout Sharing Workflow

Host opens planner, assigns strength tank template, exports share link. DPS player imports dexterity template adjusting Stamina upward. Caster selects intelligence template verifying Focus floor for Falling Sky spam tolerance. Support selects faith template. Party compares links in voice chat before Crucible entry — prevents four overlapping primary stats.

Hardcore Adjustment Mode

Manually raise Health and Focus sliders ten percent above standard PvE recommendations when planning Hardcore Breach loadouts. Planner may not auto-apply Hardcore modifier — player judgment required. Cross-reference Breach beginner guide survival benchmarks and armor tier list for expected damage intake.

Export and Documentation

Screenshot planner state before and after respec at Crucible floor five — compare actual in-game stat screen against plan for discrepancies. Share exports with co-op host when joining existing Realm mid-progression to align role expectations without stat overlap.

Extended Reference Notes

No Rest for the Wicked rewards patient mastery of Moon Studios combat systems. Sacrament hub Danos projects unlock the crafting infrastructure that transforms zone drops into viable endgame gear. Stats including Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Faith, Health, Stamina, Focus, and Equip Load interact with every equipment choice. Enable the enemy poise bar in Gameplay settings before challenging elites in Marin Woods, Nameless Pass, Cerim Crucible, or The Breach. Top meta weapons Wind of Death katana, Fetid Club, and Falling Sky staff remain reference points across tier lists and build guides.
