GrimTools vs LoadoutDB

GrimTools is a free web resource for creating and sharing character builds for Grim Dawn. Its calculator displays attributes, combat statistics, resistances, equipment, and combined item statistics. Users can select items, prefixes, suffixes, components, and augments, then upload a completed build for a shareable link or load a character save for further editing. Options cover the Base Game and mods including Diablo 3 Classes and Reign Of Terror. The site also provides an item database for searching game items and affixes and a skill tree planner. An offline desktop edition includes the online calculator’s functionality plus build-list management. GrimTools works in modern browsers and has a Windows version; Internet Explorer versions below 11 are unsupported. Save uploads do not support character saves from mods. The calculator notes that dual-wield ranged attacks-per-second values are higher than in game because it uses a different formula. GrimTools is created by Dammitt and is not affiliated with Crate Entertainment.

LoadoutDB is a free web reference for video-game equipment data and build planning. Its sortable weapon lists let readers organize items by damage, scaling, requirements, or weight. The planner estimates attack ratings from each game’s scaling curves and ranks weapons for a selected stat spread. Statistics are read from each game’s files and published with their source patch; patch changes are generated by comparing game data. Values carry labels for their provenance, such as datamined, confirmed in game, modelled, or community reported. Unknown values are marked as gaps, and modelled figures are described as inferences awaiting confirmation. Lords of the Fallen is live; Lies of P and Nioh 3 are in progress, while Mortal Shell 2 is upcoming. Builds are encoded in URLs for saving or sharing. Planner calculations require JavaScript, though the data can be browsed without it. LoadoutDB has no accounts, subscriptions, or purchases, and users can report incorrect values by contact form or email.
