Your stats will go up each time you level depending on what stats are available to your profession and your stat point distribution and stat gain may change when you evolve into a higher class choice.
You can raise your stats outside of levelling by equipping items with stat bonuses on them or casting buff spells or riding a mount or anything else that may give a temporary boost to a stat.
Below is a list of the stats in the game:
**Dexterity
**Dexterity is your ability to evade the following:
Combat Evasion Formula
Evasion Chance % = ((Dexterity / Level) * 4)
Combat evasion is capped to no higher than 40% (although it can go as high as 50% through the rogue class Attack evasion skill) to ensure that combat isnt totally unbalanced by evasion at level 1000 this means a bonus of higher than 10000 will not really accomplish anything.
Your Dexterity stat also improves your damage when using Enchanted Weapons, Bows, Two Handed Guns or Heavy Munitions.
Damage Bonus Formula
Damage = Damage + (Dexterity / 10)
This means for every 10pts you have in Dexterity you will deal 1more damage when using a Bow, Two Handed Gun or Heavy Munition weapon.
Hitpoints
Your Health is used to determine when you die in combat. Each time you are hit by a spell or weapon in combat your health will go down when it reaches 0 or less you will be dead and lose the fight.
This means it is often wise to have as much health as you can so that you live longer.
To regenerate your Health go to World > Rest
Intelligence
Your Intelligence along with your mana determine the spells you can use both in combat and out of combat and it may also be used when disarming dungeon and player made traps.
Intelligence also provides a passive bonus to your mana stat which means having more intelligence gives you more mana.
Intelligence Bonus Effects
Mana = Mana + (Int)
Finally Intelligence provides additional damage to some standard damage spells using the following formula:
Spell Damage Bonus = (Int / 6) - For most spells.
or
Spell Damage Bonus = (Int / 12) - For DOTS
To see this bonus after casting a spell, mouse over it and look to see if the spell pops up a “Critical damage” tooltip.
Mana
Your Mana determines what spells you may cast both in combat and outside of combat. Each time you cast a spell your mana goes down as your mana drops the spells that are available to you in combat and outside of combat are reduced accordingly.
To regenerate your mana go to World > Rest.
