2.1. Characteristic Allocation Each character has six specific attributes,the specific points determine the build of the character. Each time the character gains a level you gain three points to allocate to the attribute of your choice,until the maximum level of 140.

Attribute points range from 10 - 200(maximum).

(1) STR (Strength):STR points define the power of a character.

3 STR = +2 Max HP (150 Str = +100 Max HP)
1 STR = +1 Max SP (160 Str = +160 Max SP)
1 Str = +5 Max Weight (160 Str = +800 Max Weight)
Hands: +1 base damage for every 20 Str
Archery (w/talent): +1 base damage for every 30 Str
Weapons: +0.2% base damage for every 1 Str
Related skills = Mining, Hand Attack, Manufacturing
(2) VIT (Vitality):VIT Points define the life force of a character.

1 VIT = +2 Max HP (51 Vit = +102 Max HP)
HP Regen: Vit/2 + Vit/2*(random(0, 1)^0.2) (10 Vit = regen between 5 ~ 10)
SP Regen: +3d(Vit/20) (10 Vit = +3d2)
Reduces all incoming damage by 1 every 20 Vit (51 Vit = -2)
(3) DEX (Dexterity) : The DEX points define the agility of a character.

1 Dex = +2 Defense Ratio (129 Dex = +258 Defense Ratio)
+1.2 Physical Hit Ratio for every 1 Dex above 50 (129 Dex = +95 Physical Hit Ratio)
Related skills = Fishing, Archery, Short Sword, Long Sword, Fencing, Axe, Shield, Hammer
(4) INT (Intelligence):INT defines the Intelligence of a character. The more INT points you have, the higher circle magic you will get.

2 Int = +1 Max MP (59 Int = +29 Max MP)
Every 2 Int above 50 increases casting probability.
Int is required for learning magic spells at the Wizard tower.
Related skills = Farming, Alchemy
(5) MAG (Magic):MAG points define the magical ability of a character.Higher Mag increases MP Recovery, attack success and damage.

1 mag = +2 Max MP (18Mag = +36 Max MP)
MP regen: Mag/3 + Mag/1.5 * (1 - random(0, 1)^0.35) (194 mag = regen 64 ~ 194)
+1.15 Magic Hit Ratio for every 1 Mag above 50 (194 Mag = +165 Magic Hit Ratio)
1 mag = 0.3% magic damage(194 Mag = +58% magic damage)
+1 Magic Resistance for every 1 Mag above 50 (194 Mag = +144 Magic Resistance)
Related Skills = Magic, Staff Attack
(6) LUK (Luck):The LUK points define the Luck of a character. The increase of LUK points enables you to gain a better chance of getting a drop.

+0.33% Crush Chance for every 1 Luck (10 Luck = +3.30% Crush Chance)
+0.125% NPC Drop Chance for every 1 Luck (10 Luck = +1.25%).
HP(Health Points), MP(Mana Points), SP(Stamina Point), and MaxLoad (Maximum Weight Load) will be calculated by compounding the characteristics above.
    Max Hp = Vit*2 + Lvl*2.5 + Str*2/3(Xelima Talent subtracts 25% from this calculation)
    Max MP = Mag*2 + Lvl*2 + INT/2
    Max SP = 10 + Lvl*2 + Str
    Max.Load = (Str*5) + (Lvl*5)

2.2. Setting characteristic at the beginning

As the above image shows the game will allow you to pre allocate points to make Warrior,Mage or Master,this is for advanced players only.
"Old school" builds are now balanced around the New Talent system and careful consideration of the attributes gained or lost with each Talent will be needed to get the best out of your build.

Warrior:
If you want to swing weapons like swords, axes or hammers you can choose a warrior.

PFM Warr(36 Int), Zerker(59 INT), Haste(62 INT) and AMP Warr(112 INT) are all options depending on the style the player wishes to adopt.


Mage:
If you prefer to use magic, you should try a mage. Mages may have hard time to level-up at early stages, as compared with warrior. However, after learning some attack spells, mages can cast harmful spells on their enemies and show their great power. The reason, that mages have a difficulty in hunting, is the amount of mana. Without mana, it is next to impossible for mages to hunt and fight,after collecting a basic MP set a mage can begin his journey.

You can develop your mage in certain ways with INT, STR, DEX, and VIT.
