Memorizing and applying formulae is always a tough business. To simplify things, it's often much easier to have an application which does the math for you. This is where the calculators come in, written by those with the knowledge of both game mechanics and programming in various languages.

(Archived) Based upon the Weapon Speed Mechanics study by Trucidation and Crystalion, David's javascript calculator is a handy on-line tool for finding the exact swing speed of a weapon on any character. Much like MoroccoMole's Speed Calculator, this calculator has the advantage of being on-line and thus it's compatible with all computer types. |

(Archived) This Excel spreadsheet will detail everything you need to know about the Smite skill. By filling out the fields for weapons, shields, auras, combat skills, and other equipment, the calculator will be able to tell you how fast you'll swing, how much damage you'll do per hit, how many Crushing Blows you will achieve per second, and average times to kill various monsters in the game. It's a great reference to see how much of a difference changing equipment or skills can make. All designed and coded by Dorian. |

(Archived) Caaroid's Experience Calculator is an Excel spreadsheet which can calculate the best areas and the best monsters to fight in order to obtain the largest amount of experience in the shortest possible time. Factoring in the number of players, the number of party members, the level of party members, and so on, you can then sort the results according to what monsters give the most experience, what areas you should go to level up the fastest, and the best areas to play factoring in monster hit points, resistances, and much more. It's an extremely comprehensive spreadsheet, far more detailed than a simple "this monster gives you the most experience" chart. |

(Archived) With SewerRat's Gambling Calculator, you can determine just how much a target item is going to cost you in gambling money for a certain chance to get it. This is a small Visual Basic program which will allow you to input what kind of item you're looking for. Then, you specify one of three things: how much money you're willing to spend for it, the number of gambles you're willing to try for it, or the percent chance you'd like to have to find the item. |

(Archived) An Excel spreadsheet which allows you to calculate your Amazon's damage when using Multishot or Strafe, SmartBoy's Bow Damage Calculator takes into account every prefix and suffix along with possible skill levels to show you how damaging an Amazon can be. This is useful for trying to decide if that bow with +1 Amazon skills is better than that other bow you might have with slightly increased attack speed. It includes damage variations for items which add to your attack speed in order to find what really counts, damage per second. This is a must have for any serious tactical Amazon player. |

(Archived) This is a small Visual Basic program which allows you to calculate what level monster can drop an item with the prefixes and suffixes you desire. It will also give you a recommended character level at which to imbue a base item to obtain those prefixes and suffixes. Very handy! |
