Stats

Stats Overview

With the new level cap, the maximum base stat is now 130. This opens the door to true hybrid builds and expanded customization.

Substats

Aside from Stats, several Substats were also drastically changed. Most of these define the main difference between Pre-Renewal and Renewal Mechanics.

ATK	MATK
In Renewal, ATK is split into StatusATK and WeaponATK. Both contribute to final damage; StatusATK is doubled. Only WeaponATK is affected by racial/size/elemental bonuses (e.g., Hydra, Skel Worker). High-level weapons with better ATK/refines are preferred over old 4-slot racials.	MATK is also split into StatusMATK and WeaponMATK. Many weapons now have flat MATK values (e.g., 280 from Staff of Destruction). WeaponMATK contributes more to final damage due to variance scaling with weapon level.
DEF/MDEF	Cast Time
DEF and MDEF are reworked: HardDEF/MDEF is no longer capped at 100. Its effectiveness scales exponentially. Examples: 200 HardDEF = ~25% reduction 400 HardDEF = ~40% reduction Many armors now have higher DEF/MDEF values.	Cast Time is now split into: Fixed Cast Time – not affected by stats; reduced only via gear or skills. Variable Cast Time – reduced by DEX and INT. Formula: (DEX × 2 + INT) = 530 to eliminate Variable Cast. Some skills now have non-removable fixed cast times (e.g., Acid Demo, Asura).
SoftDEF/MDEF	Critical
Based mostly on VIT (SoftDEF) and INT (SoftMDEF). Applies a flat damage reduction after HardDEF/MDEF. Minimal change from Pre-Renewal mechanics.	Critical hits ignore FLEE, but no longer ignore DEF. Base crit damage is 140%, increased with C.RATE. With gear/cards, crits can reach or exceed 200% damage.

Key Points About New Attribute Stats

• Six new stats related to attribute status have been added.
• Starting at level 200, leveling up no longer grants status points for the original stats: STR, AGI, VIT, INT, DEX, LUK.
• Instead, new trait status points are given to distribute among these 6 new trait statuses.
• Activity Point (AP) is introduced as a new resource mechanic, exclusively used by 4th job skills.
• Unlike old status points, attribute status points do not increase gradually with level.
• 4th job classes receive bonus points to these new traits based on Job Level.
• Each new characteristic status has a fixed cost of 1 point per investment, unlike existing statuses.

Wisdom (WIS)	Spell (SPL)
Trait that increases magic resistance (MRES) +1 MRES per 1 point +5 MRES per 3 points	Trait that increases status magic attack and Spell Magic Attack (S.MATK) +5 status magic attack per 1 point +1 S.MATK per 3 points

Final status physical attack and final equipment attack increases by %.	Final status magic attack and final equipment magic attack increases by %.
Resist (RES)	Magic Resist (MRES)
Before calculating physical defense, it reduces normal physical damage taken by %. Note: Resist Penetration effects are limited to 50%.	Before calculating the magic defense, it reduces the normal magic damage received by %. Note: Magic Resist Penetration effects are limited to 50%.
