Arrow to the Build
What it is
Arrow to the Build is a free Windows app for tracking Elder Scrolls Online characters and turning builds into progression plans. Its tracker brings character identity, attributes, skills, equipment, Champion Points, skill bars, rotations, companion setups, and build progress into one view. The editor supports guided builds, copies of bundled builds, community JSON imports, and manual editing, with autosave, undo and redo, validation, and revision review. Champion Point routes account for connector stages and prerequisites, and an offline constellation map is included. An optional bundled ESO addon can save character snapshots to a local file; the app can also be used manually without it. Character data and progress are stored in a local SQLite database, without an ATTB account or cloud database. Builds and themes use portable JSON formats. The app includes 20 themes, a theme editor, and seven class builds. The maker lists a Windows 10/11 installer and describes the project as unofficial and unaffiliated with the game’s publishers.
