Dark & Builder vs Elden Ring Build Planner

Dark & Builder is a build planner and community for Dark and Darker, with tools for planning characters and sharing builds. Its calculator lets players select a class, gear, perks, skills and spells, then view live character stats. Players can publish builds, find others’ builds, and like or comment on them; filters cover class, dungeon and patch. An item database lists stats for in-game gear, weapons and accessories. The maker says game data is refreshed with each patch. The service is available on the web, iOS and Android, and its core features are not behind a paywall. The terms also describe ads on web and mobile, optional purchases and a recurring premium subscription, but list no prices. Purchases are non-refundable, and subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled. Dark & Builder says it is unofficial and not affiliated with or endorsed by IRONMACE.

Elden Ring Build Planner is a free web tool for planning character attributes, rune level, rune cost and equip load before spending runes in Elden Ring. It covers all ten base-game starting classes and their initial levels and attributes. Adjusting Vigor, Mind, Endurance, Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Faith or Arcane updates the rune level and the total runes needed to reach it from level one. Enter an equipped-weight percentage to see whether the character has a light, medium or heavy roll, or is overloaded. Ready-made templates cover Strength, Dexterity, quality, sorcery, Faith and bleed builds. Builds can be saved in browser local storage or shared as copied text; the site says saved builds are not uploaded. It is intended for PvE planning, respecs and common co-op and PvP rune levels. It does not calculate weapon attack rating, spell damage or per-item scaling, and game updates may make some figures differ from the current version. The project is an independent fan resource unaffiliated with FromSoftware or Bandai Namco Entertainment.
