I've created a small website that lets your search, sort and filter all the weapons and armor in the game, as well as calculate the AR of any weapon for any combination of stats and other criteria.

The content is nothing new, all the equipment info can be found on the wikis and AR calculations are already provided by sites like mugenmonkey. However what this site does well is allow you to quickly do all your information-seeking right in one place.

For example, I can say "I have a level 80 invader (Warrior class) with 16 STR and 40 DEX, I wonder what weapons I can use that have great DEX scaling/will benefit most from a Sharp infusion?"

First, I can go to the Weapon Search page and search for all weapons with a maximum STR requirement of 16, INT 8, FTH 9. Then I can sort by DEX scaling from high to low and quickly get an idea of what weapons might work best. I can also select "Sharp" in the Infusion drop down and see all the results with the Sharp Infusion applied.

After running my search I see that the Painting Guardian's Curved Sword has very nice DEX scaling. So I click the name and am taken to the Weapon Details page for Painting Guardian's Curved Sword, where I can view all the base damage and scaling values for the uninfused weapon, as well as all the different infusions.

From there I can click 'Calculate my Character's AR with this Weapon' to be taken to the AR Calculator page, with Painting Guardian's Curved Sword already selected. I select 'Sharp' from the Infusion dropdown and punch in my characters stats (16/40/8/9/11) and press Calculate. Right away I get a result of 338.41 Total AR, all of which is Physical.

After that, I can go to the Armor Search page and find the most efficient armor for my build by filtering by armor type and sorting by Defense:Weight and Poise:Weight ratios.

The above is just an illustration of how one might typically use the tool. The Weapon Search, Armor Search, and AR Calculator tools are all easy to get to from the home page. I wanted to make something that would be really useful for all the "Best weapon for a STR/FTH build??" type questions on this sub. I hope some of you take a look and find it useful!

Thanks to u/naiyt for sharing the AR calculation formula on his mugenmonkey blog. Thanks to that post I was able to fix the inaccuracies with infusions in my last version of the site. Thanks to u/monrandria for the massive amounts of weapon and armor data he made available to everyone on this subreddit. And thanks to u/Kavler for giving me helpful feedback on the site (I have implemented the autocomplete in the search bars!).

EDIT: Is anyone out there willing/able to help me understand how to accurately adjust AR calculations for different Reinforcement Levels? My vision for the utility originally was to be able to use it for any targeted build, like an SL60 invader with +6 weapons. It would be really awesome to see all the scaling and AR values for exactly +6 weapons (or +3 twinkling/titanite scale). Unfortunately from what I've read and from talking to u/naiyt, it's very tricky to accurately do that. If anyone has any knowledge or resources about that I'd be very thankful!
