About this converter

How to use it
Pick two weapons 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 weapon, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds attack. Try Plsm-Sword against Dagger to see top against starter.
Swords for Chaz are two handed in game text. Several swords also add defense, which context notes but the converter does not add in. ShadwBlade at plus 50 with minus defense and agility is left out because its cursed trade offs need a full row of debuffs the base unit cannot hold. Prices in context are meseta shop or sell values from the same tables.
