What is LSC?

In simple terms, LSC is what the name describes: a life skill calculator. More precisely, it's a highly sophisticated tool for calculating the profit of various crafts, helping players find things that are worth crafting for minimal effort. If you're tired of constantly having to look up recipes, calculate costs and profits, and accounting for every little detail, all just to figure out if a single item is worth making, then LSC is for you.

One key feature of LSC that makes it truly special, is that it comes with a set of easily configurable databases, complete with item recipes and market values. Using this information, LSC can calculate the profit of hundreds of items in an instant. What takes even a veteran life skiller hours to research and calculate, can be achieved in mere minutes.

LSC does have one drawback though - item values have to be updated manually. Unfortunately, any method of retrieving this information from the game client is against Black Desert Online's Terms of Service. However, unlike having to fiddle with spreadsheets, or constantly look up item prices every time you're researching a new item, you can quickly and easily update the value of an item and its many materials with ease within the app. Those changes will be saved, and used across all other related items in the database.

On the other hand, if you do like spreadsheets, LSC's databases are completely human readable - no encryption or obfuscation here. You can freely open them up and edit them as you please, including adding or removing any item you wish. Don't want to wait for me to update LSC with new items? You can easily add them yourself.
