Stats, an abbreviation of statistics, refers to the 3 statistics all characters have in varying amounts, as follows:

Stat Locks & Cap

On the Character Status Menu, there are small yellow arrows, or locks, located next to each stat. These indicate whether a stat will go up, down, or not move at all. To gain in a specific stat, make sure the arrow is pointing up. The cumulative maximum that a character can achieve from all three statistics is capped. The cap can be raised in two ways, by using a stat scroll and as a veteran reward. The natural cumulative maximum is 230. Via stat scrolls that come in various amounts, (i.e., +5, +10, +15, +20, and +25), a character can reach a cumulative maximum of 255.

You can gain up to 15 stat points per day, one every 10 minutes. Specific skills are related to certain stats. To gain in a particular stat use the appropriate skill set forth in the table below:

Training Example

By way of example, consider a Mace Fighter that would like to add Chivalry, but lacks the intelligence, and therefore mana, to be viable. The Fighter would like to reduce strength while increasing intelligence. The character could first practice Evaluate Intelligence until she gains 10 or 12 skill points, at which point she could switch to Musicianship and draw down the 10 or 12 points from Evaluate Intelligence. This process can be repeated, back and forth, until the intelligence stat is at the desired level. The latter skill has a primary association with dexterity, so that stat must be locked. Neither skill requires any resources, so there is no cost.
