Use this worksheet to plan a weapon, five armor slots, a charm and target skill levels. It is an editorial recording tool, not a tested best-in-slot recommendation.

The pieces that exist

Fextralife supplies weapon, armor and skill reference tables. Start with one weapon type, then record every piece and the skill level it contributes. Keep the set bonus separate from the skills on individual pieces.

For each choice, record the named source and its version or checked date. A complete comparison needs the same monster, rank and assumptions; an isolated raw attack value does not establish a better build.
