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.
  • Badge Tracking. Manually or automatically enter badges, see which ones you're missing, compare with other players who also use these sites.
  • HeroStats. A utility that tracks in-game statistics and that is capable of showing buff timers. Can automatically update the badge tracking websites above (CiT and, BH).
  • Character builder/designer/planners. Create and save character builds, share with others through forum exports or build imports.
    • Mid's Hero Designer. Download-able program. Updated 2008-07-21 (I12 current). Includes Invention sets for enhancements, and takes those bonuses into account when calculating buffs. Builds can be exported with a data chunk to import later.
    • SuckerPunch's Online Build Planner. Online webapp. (I12 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.

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