BazaarLogic FAQ

( or jump to Game Mechanics FAQ)

• How do I use BazaarLogic?
  • You can use the simulator to test out different positioning of items and see how they perform. Press spacebar to open your backpack/stash, to save items for testing.
  • Install BazaarLogic tracker program; when you press 'b' while in a game, your board will be loaded in BazaarLogic.
  • When you share your build or while talking about builds, you can click 'get tiny url' to get a link to the current state of your build to share with others.
  • With BazaarLogic tracker installed, you can click 'Follow' in the board controls to have your build automatically track changes in the game, and show a dropdown of all the encounters from your current run.
• How does searching for items work?
  

  You can type tag names to find items that have that tag. It will only show items that have every tag you've entered.

• What is DPS/HPS/SPS?
  DPS is damage per second, HPS is healing per second, and SPS is shield per second.
  You can pause battle at any time to see the current DPS/HPS/SPS for each board.
• How do I save my build?
  You can save your build by clicking the "Save" button on the bottom board, which saves a json file you can load later. If you're running BazaarLogic tracker, you will find your previous runs in the "Runs" tab and you can load one and then any encounter from it.
• Why is the url changing?
  The url changes whenever you change your build, skills, or player data. It allows you to share the current state of your build with others. I recommend clicking "get tiny url" to make a nice short url that you can share anywhere you'd like.
• Where can I get support/report bugs/ask questions?
  Contact me on Discord: @Lawgikill.
• Why isn't it working on my mobile device?
  I have no plans to support mobile devices.

Game Mechanics FAQ

• I was expecting more uses on item X because it was charged 10 times, but it doesn't seem to have gotten all the charge seconds?
  Charge is funny, lets say you have .5s remaining on your cooldown and you trigger to charge it for 1 seconds 2 times. What will happen is the first charge will give it only .5 seconds, the item will trigger on next server tick (or this server tick if it hasn't been evaluated in priority order yet), and then next server tick it will be charged for another second. So depending a bit on RNG of hasting/other charging, you may get less charge on average than you expected. (most likely this is the case for complex boards). A great example of this is a 4s gold yoyo which charges for 3s on adjacent item use. If adjacent items are on the same cooldown (4s), you're only getting 1 yoyo trigger total when they both go off, as a 3s charge is thrown away as the item hadn't triggered yet but still had some small amount of cd remaining. But if you upgrade it to diamond and it charges for 4s, then EVERY adjacent item use will end up triggering a yoyo use. The difference between gold and diamond yoyo is sometimes VERY large. Or sometimes feathering the yoyo to reduce it to a point where it will trigger just before the adjacent item which will also trigger it immediately after is the best play. Understanding the breakpoints is a bit tricky at first, but you get the hang of it.
• How do value-based damage items scale in combat?
  Items that deal damage equal to this item's value (or a multiple of it) take a combat baseline from their current value at battle start, then value buffs/debuffs are mirrored into damage changes. This keeps value-based damage scaling correctly if value changes mid-fight.
• How are you handling time progression for the simulator?
  Combat runs on a deterministic tick loop (100ms by default, with an optional 50ms setting). Cooldowns advance on ticks, and queued actions like multicast resolve on scheduled delays.
• How does Multicast timing work?
  Multicast queues extra uses at short intervals (about 250ms). Each queued use resolves as a normal single use, so you may see a brief stagger rather than all uses happening instantly.
• How much Ammo gets used with multicast?
  Ammo is spent once per activation (per cooldown trigger), not per multicast hit. Multicast queues extra uses but does not multiply the ammo cost.
• How does the sandstorm work?
  The sandstorm starts at 30 seconds, then deals damage to both players every 0.2s. The damage ramps up by 1 each tick, so it accelerates quickly the longer the fight goes.
• How does the priority system work?
  When multiple items trigger at the same time, their priority (from game data) determines order. If priority ties, BazaarLogic resolves triggers in a consistent board order (opponent board left to right, then your board left to right). You can look up priority data on bazaardb.gg. This matches many cases but may not be perfect in every edge case.
• How do tag-based auras decide what gets buffed?
  Tag auras target items that actually have those tags (Weapon, Tool, Shield, etc.). Multi-tag lines require items that match all listed tags, and "Flying" checks the item's current flying state instead of a static tag.

About

BazaarLogic is a simulator for The Bazaar.

This project is currently in development. I update things as best as I can, but it's difficult since the game patches often. Since this is mostly just used by me, I prioritize fixes for items I use and come across that are wrong. But if you come across something, please let me know and I'll fix it when I can.

Simulator Differences from the Actual Game Engine

• If items should trigger at the same time, 'priority' (from the game files) is used to determine order. However, for the most part, if items trigger at the same time and also have tied priority, there is no concensus on *exactly* what happens, though there are rules that the community deems correct. Items with tied priority trigger on the opponent's board first, from left to right; then on your board from left to right. This is right in most cases, but not always. Let me know if you come across something that seems wrong.
