About this converter
Estus tracks two numbers that share one table with roles labeled. Charges per rest run 5 unkindled, 10 at Kindle level 1 for 1 Humanity, 10 by default where a Fire Keeper sits, 15 at level 2 with the Rite of Kindling after Pinwheel, and 20 max at level 3 with coop extras capped at 20. Heals per swig run fixed HP at 300 base, then 400, 500, 600, 650, 700, 750 and 800 across plus 1 to plus 7 with one Fire Keeper Soul each, 7 souls max per run. Bonfires stay kindled once done. Charges and heals sort together here with context marking which is which.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try max charges against base to see the 20 to 5 rest span. The result line prints the equality plus the per unit ratio. Click a table row to load that entry as Entry A with amount 1.
Charges and heals are different units sharing one Estus scale, stated clearly so ratios compare within roles. Humanity kindle costs and soul upgrade counts ride in context. Bonfire warp and Rite access need Lordvessel progress, noted where relevant. Omitted: Humanities humanity count drops, which use enemy tables, not flask math.
