Project Deus build maker, plain-text version ============================================ The build maker page at https://warlordhermes.dynv6.net/builds is drawn by JavaScript. Everything it does can be done with plain requests instead. To make a build and get a link to it: 1. Read the catalogue of a class (names, levels, prices): https://warlordhermes.dynv6.net/builds/guide/druid https://warlordhermes.dynv6.net/builds/guide/hunter https://warlordhermes.dynv6.net/builds/guide/mage https://warlordhermes.dynv6.net/builds/guide/paladin https://warlordhermes.dynv6.net/builds/guide/priest https://warlordhermes.dynv6.net/builds/guide/rogue https://warlordhermes.dynv6.net/builds/guide/shaman https://warlordhermes.dynv6.net/builds/guide/warlock https://warlordhermes.dynv6.net/builds/guide/warrior https://warlordhermes.dynv6.net/builds/guide/racials 2. Ask for the build. Picks are names separated by commas; a talent takes :rank (no rank = its top rank); Name@Tree when a name exists in two trees: https://warlordhermes.dynv6.net/api/build?level=60&pick=Frostbolt,Mortal Strike,Improved Rend:2&racials=War Stomp The answer is JSON: what each pick costs, the totals against the budget, a list of problems (empty when the game would accept the build) and "link", the address to give to a person. Opening that link shows the build in the build maker. 3. To read a build somebody linked: https://warlordhermes.dynv6.net/api/build?b= Rules ----- A character is not a class. It buys abilities and talents from any of the 27 trees. * Abilities cost Ability Essence (AE). Budget: 6 AE below level 7, then 1 AE per level (level 60 = 60 AE). * Talents cost Talent Essence (TE): 1 per level from level 10 (level 60 = 51 TE). A talent is paid for once; all its ranks are included in the price. A few talents also cost AE. * Each entry has a required character level. There are no other prerequisites: no tree depth requirement and no talent that needs another talent. * Racials: one from each of the four kinds, from any race, free. * Known by everyone for free: Parry, Dual Wield. * Levels go from 1 to 80; the realm's content is Classic, so plan for 60 unless told otherwise.
