Game Utilities

Important Note

Players have the responsibility to be aware of the PlayNC EULA. The following applications are believed by most of the community to be EULA legal. However, they are not endorsed by Paragon Wiki, and players' use of them is solely at their own risk.

Map Patches replace many in-game maps of city zones and missions with informational icons and text.
- i23 VidiotMaps for PC.
- i23 VidiotMaps for Mac.
Badge Tracking. Manually or automatically enter badges, see which ones you're missing, compare with other players who also use these sites.
- City Information Tracker. Part of Titan Network.
Utility that tracks in-game statistics and that is capable of showing buff timers. Was used to update badge stats on both City Info Tracker and Badge-Hunter.
- HeroStats
Utility that can update badges on CIT, and also export character builds directly from the game for use in Mids' Hero Designer:
- Sentinel
Character builder/designer/planners. Create and save character builds, and share with others through "data blocks" or "data links".
- Mids' Hero Designer. Windows desktop program. (I21 current). Includes IOs, Incarnates, Accolades, and takes those into account when calculating numbers.
- SuckerPunch's Online Build Planner. Webapp. (I16 current). Includes Invention sets. Since it's entirely javascript based, builds can be shared with any web browser.

Important Note

As above, players have the responsibility to be aware of the PlayNC EULA. Use of the following applications is frowned upon by PlayNC and likely violates the EULA. They are not endorsed by Paragon Wiki, and players' use of them is solely at their own risk.

PiggViewer, an application that allows extraction of game client files.
Game Extractor, a Java application that allows extraction of game client files.
