View Full Version : Fan Developed Resources

There are lots of great fan developed resources. Apparently, there is only so much room for stickies. To be fair, they are taking up half of my first page of threads. Since some of these have not been able to get their own sticky, I am hoping that a thread to link to all of them might be able to. Whatever can keep me from having to search 5 or 6 pages of threads for these again would help.

Remember to give credit where it is due and all of these belong to someone other than me.

One of the best fan developed resources. This has been invaluable to me and many others. If you want to know what armors are good, this is the place. If you want to know how armors work, this is the place. The source where much of the combined research has been gathered thanks to Varza and the community:

It feels like I'm missing something. I'm sure the community will remind me if I have.

I missed the wiki...
Knights and Dragons Wiki (http://knights-and-dragons.wikia.com/wiki/Knights_and_Dragons_Wiki)

Per the suggestion from tollerach, here are some the great threads where the community has worked together to gather data. These are currently stickied, and deservingly so. Just in case...

Warning...I make no guarantees about this site. It was developed by a fan username GoatRage. I risked any potential viruses to check it out. My security did not indicate any problems. I really like the work they have done to combine some of these tools. They are also converted to a web format for those who don't like spreadsheets. There is also a much requested fusion calculator although I cannot personally vouch for its accuracy.

Has anyone created a armor fusion calculator, that gives you all the possible results of fusing two chosen armors. That would be a good one to have.

Great idea for a thread.

Is anyone else having problems with the spreadsheets? The armor leveling spreadsheet used to work fine for me, but now its no longer adjusting the table after I give my inputs. Hasn't worked for me for about a week... is this just me or is anyone else having this problem?

Also, the epic boss calculator is view only for me. Is there a way I can change that or is that something the spreadsheet admin has to change?

Hey OP,

Can you include:
-Things I Wish I Knew When I Was A Noob by Radlonghammer
-Armor Leveling Research. Please Contribute.
-FAQ Breakdown - Frequently Asked Questions by the beginners
-Rad's Guide to Beating the Epic Boss

So we can use just one sticky for all the Fan Guide threads. Good idea

PS - Can you add a link to the KND wiki (see my signature) since we are trying to make it a resource for KND info.

I haven't noticed any issues. I usually go to
File->Make a copy...
This lets me make a personal copy on my Google Drive that I have full edit rights to and others don't try to modify while I am using it. Just make sure to make a new copy from the original once in a while so that you have all the current data.

I specifically didn't add those because they are current stickies. I like the way you are thinking though and that could help to unclutter the stickies a bit. As to the KnD wiki, sure. That's how I learned the name of half the armors I now recognize by sight, lol.

Looks like you liked my idea, or thought of it independently. Great minds think alike at least ;).

Now we just need this to be stickied, and all the others to be unstickied.

I'll be honest...this was a selfish move, lol. I found myself I think on page 6 looking to find Barbanium's spreadsheet. I've tried using the forum search before to find Lii's Battle Calculator and it doesn't work all that well (the search, that is). My idea was that even if this does not become a sticky, which I am not counting on, I could just search for my threads and find these links easier if they get buried again, lol.

Hey Sifu,

There's one more thread that is a good source of information:

-Fuzing Armors Results Thread

You can get a better idea of how fusing works from this thread.

edit:
also this one
-Feel free to ask any question about K&D in here, solutions will be provided ASAP :)

Hey Sifu! Thank you for doing this. :)
At least my calculators get indirectly sticky-ed.


Is anyone else having problems with the spreadsheets? The armor leveling spreadsheet used to work fine for me, but now its no longer adjusting the table after I give my inputs. Hasn't worked for me for about a week... is this just me or is anyone else having this problem?

Fixed! Also could you guys send me a PM to my LINE account: "barbanium" in case this happens again? Thanks! ;)


Has anyone created a armor fusion calculator, that gives you all the possible results of fusing two chosen armors. That would be a good one to have.

I believe that's very hard to do cause someone has to combine hundreds or even thousands of armors just to get an experimental percentage of the chance getting a specific armor.

And I did say "experimental" you'll never get the actual chances as of now. Unless Gree exposes them which is very unlikely.

I couldn't find a better place to put this and I can't post new threads, so here's my proposition:
wouldn't it be nice if there was a periodical market in which to sell armor, fusion stones, and maybe more? I think this would be great; it would be fun and of great assistance to both advanced and beginner players.

not even something that takes into account probabilities , even just something that will say , "ok, if you plug in this armor and that armor, here are all the possibilities you can get"

If you wanna determine if an armor is fusable, you might wanna look at this thread:
Fuzing Armors Results Thread (http://www.funzio.com/forum/showthread.php?47938-Fuzing-Armors-Results-Thread)

If you wanna know all the possible outcomes when you fuse 2 armors:
I really don't think anyone would invest time and gold for this. It's just that there are so many possibilities to take into account.

in case it help all you spread sheet nerds out there like me I worked out that above level 100 it takes EXACTLY 250000 exp to level.

How I worked this out (for QA purposes):
Mapped out how much exp drops from each mob in my selected farming area.
Got very close to levelling then ran the first 2 stages of Relic Ruins gaining 1 exp per kill until I levelled. Then ran the levels that I mapped out the EXP drops until I got very close to levelling again and went back to relic ruins for 1 exp at a time till I levelled.
The spreadsheet showed that 250000 exp exactly was gained before I levelled again.

Hey, I build a battle simulator and thought it might be useful here. It's similar to Lii's spreadsheet, but hopefully a little more friendly and can also be used to simulate PvP or whatever.

Replied in the armor levelling thread too but this is probably a better place. Regarding my web application at http://kadc.azurewebsites.net/ and accuracy:

Enhancement calculator: Pretty sure this isn't completely accurate but until someone comes up with completely accurate level table/formulae then that's not going to change. I think it's accurate enough to be at the very least be a good guide.

Fusion calculator: This follows the rules/information available on this forum and on the wiki. I wouldn't be surprised if there's the odd missing armor in there so if you know something is missing/wrong then please email (link on website).

Epic boss calculator: This builds on Theorycrafter, Lii and phenom_'s work in this area with some slight modification, mostly around rounding and is now accurate for all the tests I've run on my own armors (level 20+, not spent any time on lower levels).

Information I'm still looking for is accurate player/follower health/stats for levels below 100 and images of Raider's and Deep Dragon's Nemesis armor.

An update on my web app: I am no longer going to be updating or supporting it. I have made all the source code and data available at https://github.com/csuzw/KADC. Feel free to use and host it as you wish. That said as long as traffic to the current site doesn't get so large that I'm having to pay a significant amount to keep it up, it will remain as it currently is.
