About this converter
Dragon Quest XI prints a base attack value on each sword in the equipment menu before Fun Size Forge upgrades. Cypress Stick at 7 opens the table. Soldier's Sword at 10 and Copper Sword at 13 cover the early game. Bronze Sword at 16 and Iron Broadsword at 20 follow. Rapier at 24 and Bandit Blade at 30 lead into Steel Broadsword at 35. Cautery Sword at 42 and Falcon Blade at 45 cover the mid game, with Falcon Blade striking twice. Zombiesbane at 54 and Platinum Sword at 60 climb higher. Dragonsbane at 72, Sword of Light at 109, Supreme Sword of Light at 151 and Metal King Sword at 161 close the range at twenty three times the stick.
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. One box holds a count of the first sword, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds total attack. Try Supreme Sword of Light against Cypress Stick.
All rows use base forge plus 0 attack. Plus 1 to plus 3 grades raise each sword and stay out of the rows. Falcon Blade hits twice at reduced damage per strike and the entry note states this. Killer bonuses against undead or dragons apply only to those families and sit outside base ranks. Charm bonuses on some swords are listed in game menus and stay out of attack math.
