What it is

Arrow to the Build is a free, offline-first Windows app for tracking Elder Scrolls Online characters and turning builds into progression plans. Its tracker covers character identity, attributes, skills, equipment, Champion Points, skill bars, rotations, companion setups, and build progress. The editor supports guided builds, forks of bundled builds, community JSON imports, and manual editing, with autosave, undo and redo, validation, and revision review. Champion Point routes account for connectors and prerequisites, and include an offline constellation map. An optional bundled ESO addon writes character snapshots through ESO SavedVariables to a local file; the app can also be used manually without it. Character data, settings, snapshots, overrides, and progress are stored in a local SQLite database in the Windows app-data folder, without an ATTB account or cloud database. Builds and themes use portable JSON formats. The app includes 20 themes and an editor with simple 28-color and advanced 57-token modes, plus seven bundled class builds. The maker describes the project as unofficial and unaffiliated with ZeniMax Media, Bethesda Softworks, or The Elder Scrolls Online.
