Statistics

Statistics are a measure of your characters power in a particular field. All stats have a use for some characters. Basic cap (from level 1) is 255, plus 5 points for every level above 60, bring us to 280 at level 65, before AAs, and Tomes.

Heroic Power AA raises the cap by 5 per rank with 5 ranks, bringing us to 305. Non-hybrid casters also get the Innate Enlightenment AA, which raises their Intelligence/Wisdom caps by 10 per rank with 5 ranks on top of the Heroic Power boosts, bringing those to a maximum of 355. Any of these values can be considered a visible cap, and your stats will not display as higher than this in game.

There are further stat-cap increasing AAs found in Alternate Advancement#Special that have replaced related Tomes. These AAs all have 6 ranks, and increase STR, DEX, CHA, AGI, and DEX caps by an additional 5 per rank, bringing your caps in these stats to a maximum of 335.

Over visible cap statistics for Intelligence and Wisdom can be made useful via two more special AAs. The AA Exalted Mind (available to healers and healer hybrids) will give the player +1% Healing critical rate for every 20 WIS over visible cap, and the AA Ruinous Mind will give +1% Spell critical rate for every 20 over-cap INT. The AA has four ranks and each rank will grant the player another 1% crit for an additional 20 points over the previous cap. To clarify: Non-hybrid casters will get +4% critical rate if their Intelligence/Wisdom is 435, and they have completed all four ranks of these AAs. Every other class would only need 385.

Each character requires a differing set of statistics to accomplish their 'life' missions. Some statistics are more important for one class then another. For instance, warriors require Agility to be a successful tank however a wizard would rather have Intelligence on their gear so they have more mana to cast spells.

The statistics that characters live with are determined by the player upon creation of the character and, afterwards, can only be modified by spells, items and Alternate Advancement points. All abilities use the human model as the base point and the different races are varied from that base to reflect their unique differences from humans.

Strength

See also: Spell: Strength


The statistic STR.

From the in-game description: Strength is one factor in determining how much damage you do with weapons and special attacks. It directly affects the amount of weight you can carry before suffering penalties.


Stamina

See also: Spell: Stamina


The statistic STA. Hit points per point of stamina is both level and class dependent.

Stamina also effects the length of the stamina bar (this bar is yellow and found underneath hitpoint and mana bars in the default UI.) This bar is essentially a timer for many Styles for melee classes.

There are spells available to decrease the stamina used by styles, however there is no way to increase the stamina regeneration rate.

From the in-game description: Stamina increases your maximum hit points.

Agility

See also: Spell: Agility


The statistic AGI.

From the in-game description: Agility is one factor in determining your avoidance--how often foes will miss when trying to hit you. Agility also affects movement speed and defensive skill ups. If your agility is below 75 you will move slower than normal but having agility 75 or higher allows for you to move at a normal pace.

Dexterity

See also: Spell: Dexterity


The formula DEX + Weapon Skill + Offense is used to determine chance to hit. Dexterity does not affect proc chance. Procs are dependent on the individual weapon or buff and, for Bards, an AA.

From the in-game description: Dexterity is a factor in determining how often you will hit foes in melee combat.

Wisdom

Wisdom (WIS) is the primary spell-casting attribute for Paladins, Rangers, Beastlords, Clerics, Shamans, and Druids. It affects how much mana these classes have, which determines how many spells they can cast before they must rest (meditate). Wisdom also determines how often a spell will fizzle for these classes or, in other words, fail to cast.

You receive 12 mana per WIS up to 200 WIS at level 65.

You receive 6 mana per WIS for WIS 201+ until visible cap at level 65.

From the in-game description: Wisdom affects your chances of gaining skill points in most skills, if it is higher than your Intelligence.

Intelligence

Intelligence (INT) is the primary spell-casting attribute for Shadow Knights, Bards, Wizards, Enchanters, Necromancers, and Magicians. It affects how much mana these classes have, which determines how many spells they can cast before they must rest (meditate). For all except Bards, it also determines how often a spell will fizzle or, in other words, fail to cast.

You receive 12 mana per INT up to 200 INT at level 65.

You receive 6 mana per INT for INT 201+ until visible cap at level 65.

From the in-game description: Intelligence affects your chances of gaining skill points in most skills, if it is higher than your Wisdom.

Charisma

The statistic CHA.

From the in-game description: Charisma affects how much certain (the Charms vendor) merchants will charge you for their wares. Additionally, it plays a significant factor in how resistant foes will be to your spells. It also helps with some skills such as Intimidation.
