That makes it the standard way to show your character to someone outside the game, and the usual check when a static wants proof of a title such as <strong>Ultimate Legend<\/strong> or World First.<\/p>\n<p>The profile is a snapshot of current character state, not a planning tool \u2014 you cannot use it to plan best-in-slot sets. It also shows only a fraction of character state: main gear yes, full inventory no. Achievements can lag after a clear, so verification is <strong>not always instant<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-the-lodestone-is-not-for\">What the Lodestone is not for<\/h2>\n<p>Combat analysis is out \u2014 the Lodestone has <strong>no parser or logs<\/strong>. Deep database queries are also out; for things like which items drop from a boss and their sub-stats you need a dedicated database tool.
