Trying to calculate the next (best) step for collecting and forgeing.
Everytime you open a chest or have an open slot in the forge you have to make a decision which item you choose or forge. I try to calculate that. I don't try to find the world formula, just formulas about improvement, without taken the full picture of Death medals, number of orbs, Carls and so on into account.
One example: If you have 12 Piggy Bank of Doom, and get one more, then that would be an improvement of 8.3% to the starting_skull-metric. (as long as you don't have the Doom Safe and the Sack of Skulls. With them the formula will be more complex. See below.)
The goal is to compare the current metrics to those when one item is added or forged (in that case also taking into account the loss of the source items)

(1 + add_percent_to_blue_specter_dps_when_spectralrepossession_active / 100) +

| White Orb Drop |

| Starting Skulls |
add_starting_skulls + add_starting_skulls_multiplied_with_bonuses * multiply_skull_value |
| Ghost Storage |
20 + add_ghost_storage |
| Crit Hit |

| Skill Cooldown |
600 – reduce_percent_skill_cooldown |
| Seconds to Boss Battle |
5 + add_seconds_to_boss_battle |
