Stat Formulas

What each base stat actually does, and where the breakpoints sit. Concepts are stable across RO; specific per-point values may differ in RO M — [VERIFY].

Key idea

Each base stat does several things, often non-linearly. Most stats have soft caps or breakpoints every 5 / 10 / 20 points where the next point becomes more or less valuable. Don’t allocate by feel — check what your next stat point does at your current totals.

STR — Strength

• Physical ATK: roughly +1 ATK per point, with bonus jumps every 10 [VERIFY]
• Weight limit: more carry capacity
• Affects: melee classes, some skill scaling

AGI — Agility

• ASPD: increases attack speed → see aspd-cast-time.md
• FLEE: +1 FLEE per point
• Affects: physical attackers, evasion tanks, monks (Asura scaling on some servers)

VIT — Vitality

• HP: increases max HP and HP regen
• Soft DEF: contributes to flat damage reduction
• Status resistance: reduces stun / sleep / curse / silence chance
• Affects: tanks, status-vulnerable classes, anyone in WoE

INT — Intelligence

• MATK: +1 MATK per point with jumps every 5 [VERIFY]
• SP: increases max SP and SP regen
• Soft MDEF: magic damage reduction
• Affects: casters, healers, status-inflicting builds

DEX — Dexterity

• HIT: +1 HIT per point
• Ranged ATK: increases bow / gun damage
• VCT reduction: reduces variable cast time → see aspd-cast-time.md
• Min damage range: tightens damage variance
• Affects: archers, casters (cast time), all ranged DPS

LUK — Luck

• CRIT: +1 CRIT per ~3 LUK [VERIFY]
• Perfect dodge: small flat chance to ignore physical attacks
• Status chance: increases inflict / resist for some status effects
• Affects: crit builds, gambling-skill builds

Soft caps & breakpoints

RO M has stat breakpoints — specific values where bonuses jump. They vary by class and patch; file confirmed breakpoints in the relevant class note as you verify them in-game.
