Compare base equipment values

A Wooden Sword lists 23 base Physical attack. This is an item value, not the final damage of a character’s attack. Equipment pages in Dungeon Settlers Wiki let you compare the available base fields and then follow the recipe and research links needed to make an item. Quality, effects and character modifiers are not included in those base numbers.

Make a habit of pausing

WIKI SUGGESTION

When a fight changes, pause and ask: who is under pressure, which route is open, and what action has the best chance of stabilizing the situation? Resume after you have a plan.

WIKI SUGGESTION

Treat older build advice cautiously when a patch changes a skill. The Explosion reference below shows one concrete example of why version matters.
