ESO Decoded Build Planner is a free browser planner for creating and sharing Elder Scrolls Online character builds. Choose a class, fill both ability bars with morphs, equip 12 gear slots, slot Champion Points, and share the result through its URL. Its equipment view covers 712 datamined sets and shows active 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-piece bonuses, including marked perfected lines. Greatswords, battle axes, mauls, bows, and staves count as two pieces of their set when the weapon slot is switched to 2H. The planner includes 216 slottable skills with morphs; each ability bar allows five active skills and one ultimate. Champion Point planning covers 73 slottable stars, with four per discipline across Warfare, Fitness, and Craft. Builds are encoded in the link, with no account, character import, or server-side build storage required. The maker says console players can enter builds manually. The planner checks gear counts, legal skills and morphs, and slotted Champion Points, but does not calculate damage, healing, or sustain. It also excludes mundus stones, attribute allocation, traits, and enchantments. ESO Decoded describes itself as an independent, unofficial reference run by one developer in Las Vegas; the site is free and supported by advertising.
