The four attributes
Every level gives 5 stat points to put into four attributes, and Reawakening grants extra points. The choices are permanent, but they can be reset through Reawakening or with a reset item; before level 100 redistributing is free.
| Attribute | What it raises |
|---|---|
| Vitality | HP, HP recovery, physical and magic defence |
| Magic | MP, MP recovery and magic attack |
| Strength | Physical melee damage (not daggers) and physical defence |
| Dexterity | Ranged and dagger attack, accuracy, evasion, physical and magic critical rate |
Attributes are also the requirements for Equipment. Arcane armour and weapons need Strength and Magic; light and heavy armour and weapons need Strength and Dexterity. Each class draws most of its skill damage from one attribute:
| Main attribute | Classes |
|---|---|
| Strength | Barbarian, Blademaster, Edgerunner, Seeker, Venomancer (fox form build) |
| Magic | Cleric, Mystic, Psychic, Venomancer, Stormbringer |
| Dexterity | Archer, Assassin, Duskblade, Technician |
HP, MP and Chi
- HP (hit points) is your health; at zero you die.
- MP (mana) pays for spells and abilities, above all for magic users.
- HP and MP recover at only 25% of the normal rate in combat, but twice as fast while meditating.
- Chi powers the strongest skills. 100 Chi make one Spark, and Chi is built up with basic attacks and most skills that do not cost Chi.
