Summary[edit]
Provide a program that will analyze a Guild Wars account and generate a text file of all inventory of items held by each character and character hero in that account as well as the items held in common for all of the characters in an account. I would like the output to be available in a .csv file format that would allow import into a spreadsheet or database program, but I'm sure there would be some people that would like an HTML output. It is likely that this concept could be extended to Guild Wars 2 as well as other NCSoft MMORPG.
Possibilities[edit]
The program could be accessed in a manner similar to that of the Hall of Monuments Reward Calculator
Background (Warning: Includes Math)[edit]
I have 18 characters between two accounts. Many of them have heroes. Between slots accessible to each character/hero: Main weapon, Offhand weapon, 5 armor slots; item slots common to a character and associated heroes: Belt Pouch (5 slots), Back Pack (20), 2 Bags (2@10), Equipment Pack (5-20), a character with 25 heroes (max available) can access up to 45 Item slots and up to 202 armor/weapon slots (7 on the character and each 25 heroes = 182 plus 20 for the Heavy Equipment Pack). Since armor may have zero to two removable enhancement items and Weapons zero to three this results means between 0 and 858 different items possible for each character to possess. Plus the costume and headpiece slots = 860.
The account based vault Box can contain 80-180 slots, plus 20 for slots material items only. Additionally some items carry charges (ID kits, etc.) and some items can be stacked (up to 250 in a stack). If each of the 180 slots held a weapon with two mods and an inscription, there would be 720 distinct items in those 180 slots.
For my situation, this means that my accounts could have (18 * 860) + (2 * (720 + 20)) = 16,960 items between them (although somewhat unrealistic since I will not likely ever have all the heroes for all my characters).
This makes it tough to find that item that you know is in inventory somewhere when you are trying to sell it to raise some cash or give it to a guild-mate.
Reason for NCSoft to Implement This Idea[edit]
Profit! This program could be provided for free (preferred), sold at an NCSoft account level, or sold at a Guildwars account level. Although I have not played other NCSoft mmorpgs, I'm sure this type of program would be useful to players of those games as well. I believe $5 for each game account (or $25 for all games linked to an NCSoft account) would be a reasonable fee.
