DragonScape Idle — Balancing Tool

Skill XP-rate dashboard

Effective XP/hour for every skill, computed live from the game's own rate function calcExpectedXpPerHour. Drag the level, flip on best-in-slot gear, and the optimal training node + rate recompute for each skill. Rates use the real success model — including the 50–95% ramp that pins fresh gathering tiers low until the Timberfall/Stoneheart sets or levels catch up.

How the number is built

XP/hr = floor( 3600 / effTime × xp × (1+bonus) × success )
Success: woodcutting/fishing ramp 0.5 + (lvl−req)·0.01 (cap .95); cooking 100%; thieving a stealth ratio (caps ~90%); everything else 80% (FAILURE_CHANCE 0.20).
Best gear = set XP + skill-cape/charm speed + glove +5%. Woodcutting's full Timberfall set also forces 100% success.
The optimizer picks the highest-rate unlocked node — so at a fresh unlock it may keep you one tier down where success is higher.

Read these with an asterisk

Crafting · Fletching · Smithing are input-limited — the timer rate assumes infinite bars/hides/gems. Real throughput = how fast you feed them.
Farming is passive (crops grow on real timers), so there's no active XP/hr — the cell shows XP per harvest instead.
Exploring runs on its own level ladder (areas at 1/15/30/45). "Best equipment" here means full area mastery (−50% survey time), not gear.
Fishing best-gear shows bait speed only; the live loop also adds ~+20–30% bait XP on Feather/Chum species.
