Neverwinter Uncensored Toolbase Preview: The Character Manager

Sup guys,

We’re back sharing another section of the upcoming Toolbase. Our well known and established Ratings Simulator will become part of a bigger character focused tool compilation called the Character Manager. In the Manager you can store, alter and share your Neverwinter characters and builds.

The first thing we did was completely rewrite the Ratings Simulator into a Javascript application that’s easier to maintain for us and faster for you. The Simulator gets its data from our item database and therefore you could theoretically equip any item. To keep this one an endgame focused tool though, we are going to exclude common and uncommon gear and enforce a minimum item level of 120. Limited gear options have been added to narrow down gear choices even more if needed. The ability to choose a Mod to start from also merges the PC and XBox version of the tool and like everything the Simulator uses true ingame tooltips as complementary feature.

The second change was to separate the Simulator and the share feature. We wanted to give players the ability to store and share full builds, which includes a Guide and a Feat and Power layout. In your settings you are now able to save corresponding links that are included on the share page that can be accessed by everyone once you’ve made the character available to the public. A nice side effect of this change is that registered users are now able to store their Simulator saves in the database and don’t have to use a third party any longer.

While the Character Manager in its current form is more like an extended build sharer and sandbox tool, our goal is to greatly extend the functionality in the future. The long term plan is to let you parse gateway data into the tool to create a live representation of all your character and accounts. This would enable interesting overview features like a list of all your profession levels, collection data or inventory items. In combination with our AH data it would also be possible to quickly generate inventory and bank values (AD/Gold) for toons and even whole accounts.

That’s it for today folks. We hope you like the Character Managers, because we feel it has great potential and we will probably start working on it once our market tools are updated and online again.
