A tool designed to estimate the overall power level of a character’s equipment in the game Dark and Darker. This assessment considers the combined stats and attributes provided by the character’s armor, weapons, and accessories. For example, a character equipped with high-tier, enchanted items will typically receive a higher number compared to a character using basic, unenchanted gear.
The significance of this evaluation lies in its ability to provide a quick, at-a-glance understanding of a character’s relative strength. It allows players to rapidly compare their equipment loadout with those of other players or NPCs, aiding in decisions about engaging in combat or seeking better equipment. Historically, players had to manually assess the value of each item, making the process tedious and prone to error; this number streamlines the comparison.
