LoadoutDB vs TLI Builder

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.

TLI Builder is a free, open-source build planner for Torchlight: Infinite, available on the web and Windows. Players can browse talent trees, allocate nodes, and search by effect. Gear planning includes a legendary catalog, affix crafting, and gear-slot loadouts. The planner models hero traits and memories, pact spirits, slates, and conditional mechanics, while its live stat sheet updates a full breakdown as talents, gear, or modifiers change. Users can save multiple named builds locally, export compact share codes, or create short share links. The browser and desktop builds can import TLI Compendium build JSON exports; unmapped items are skipped and listed in build notes. The application source is under the MIT License, while game data has separate licensing terms. The dataset is aggregated from the game and community sources, mostly TLIDB, with permission stated for TLIDB use. TLI Builder describes itself as a community tool for Torchlight: Infinite players, unaffiliated with XD or the game.
