tarkov-tools VS RatScanner

eft.monster and this site have both been around for a couple years. This site used to be called tarkov-tools.com - the original author chose to stop working on it, but some others revitalized it as tarkov.dev (the tarkov-tools site & everything around it was open source). Its more than just ammo, its flea market prices, hideout and barter profit/loss calculators, etc. I think this post is mostly showing that the tarkov-tools site has been relaunched since it shut down a few months ago, and letting people who are unaware of it know that the resource exists if they find it useful.

IMO tarkov-tools.com was BY FAR the best Tarkov utility for maps/traders/market info, but unfortunately the owner shut it down due to the ongoing war. Hell, if I knew anything about websites and coding, I would try to buy the damn thing from him. For weeks I've used a map website, a market website, and the wiki but it's just not the same. What are you guys using now to replace it? None of the other sites seem to offer as wide of a variety as it did.

If you still feel the drive to create something regardless, there was a hole/gap made when a developer took their website offline due to the Russian War (https://tarkov-tools.com/).

Not sure how long the developer plans to keep them up, but here are the maps that were used if you want to download them: https://github.com/kokarn/tarkov-tools/tree/master/public/maps

You can even go one level deeper and figure out that Alyonka chocolate is also so expensive partially because there is a craft in the nutrition unit to make Sugar out of 2 Alyonkas. Or another craft to make Whiskey with it which is also needed for THICC item case barter. Overall, use tarkov-tools.com and you will usually find a reason why something is expensive.

In most cases as a rule of thumb, you can check out barters on a site like TarkovTools and compare their prices in roubles. Doesn't work 100% because you can't buy some items straight up for roubles, but you can still compare the overall costs based on the value of the barter items themselves.

https://ratscanner.com/ is a good utility that can also link to the tarkov tracker to help you know what you should keep and what you should pass on. And no, it is not against the rules.

Rat Scanner does that: https://ratscanner.com/

RatScanner combined with TarkovTracker.io made the same 3 tasks possible with one click in game.

Another project and the developer for it works with us! He made a great tool that you may find useful which doesn't require you from tabbing out of the game at all -> https://github.com/RatScanner/RatScanner

You could try using https://github.com/RatScanner/RatScanner as training wheels, but it won't replace players knowledge about actual item worth off the market and for barters/crafts.

Give your friends this https://github.com/RatScanner/RatScanner, then they can shift click the I sysmbol in the top left of an item description window and it will scan the name of the name and look up flea market price. It's pretty small and works if you just overlay over your game. Or like me if you have a 2nd monitor. Afik it's not against the TOS as it does not interact with the game in any way. It litterally reads the name off of your screen and then searches for it.

RatScanner for an in-game companion that scans items and gives you information like flea price/trader price or wether you need the item for quests/hideout or not.
