How this is made

Each version's balance file is read from the game's own data and compared with the one before, field by field: every number of every weapon and affinity, enemy, spell, armor piece, talisman and the effects they carry. The headline values (attack, scaling, requirements, HP, negations, stance, resistances, costs, poise) come first in each entry; open it to see every other value that moved. Nothing is taken from the patch notes, which we link next to each version as the developer's own words. Changes to other tables (attack motion values, projectiles, AI) are counted and named; on a patch that changed none of the values above, every changed effect, attack and projectile row is listed with its before and after value. A patch that changed no table at all says so here and has no page of its own. See themethodology.
