Armor and Weapon Data Tables
- Data blocks include comprehensive lists of armor, shields, helms, weapons, and their base attributes, with sections for normal, exceptional, and elite items. Each item is listed with code, required level, strength, dexterity, sockets, weapon speed, damage ranges, and additional notes.
- The data tables also include heavy cross-reference data showing updated values, with specific lines for unique items such as Titan items, runeword effects, and upgrade recipes. These tables illustrate ranges for base stats, the enhancements for higher rarity items, and the distribution across weapon types (axes, swords, maces, polearms, etc.).
Note: The original content includes lengthy ASCII-style tables and image references, which have been preserved in this Markdown export as blocks of text and inline content.

Worldstone Shard and Runeword Quick Reference (Images)
- The collection above includes runeword definitions, upgrade recipes, and the various effects on weapons and armors with the sockets required. The image references illustrate different color codings and tables that map runes to their currency value (HR, GV, WSS) as well as upgrade trees and the effect of runes on different gear. These images assist in quick navigation of the large data tables and provide visual context to the data.

Appendix: Data Sources and Notes
- Values are based on trade site prices from softcore ladder and are not updated automatically.
- The HR value is an arbitrary unit of value used to estimate relative prices between runes.
- WSS stands for Worldstone Shard and is used to measure value of corruption-related items.
- The charts are designed to provide a general overview of value ranges, not precise or current market listings.

Quick Start and How to Use (Internal Notes)

2. Use the two-socket, three-socket, up to six-socket columns to input your weapon data, then review standard DPS outputs per weapon type and class.
3. Use the anchor links in Table of Contents to navigate to sections on specific runes, runewords, and upgrade paths.
