General Stat Information

Each of the three stats will affect various attributes of your character:

Total Stats Cap

A New Player will have a total stat cap of 300 for all three stats combined.

A player can use a +Maximum Stat Scroll, ranging from +5 to +50. These +Max Stat Scrolls DO NOT STACK!

If a player uses a +5, raising their total stat cap to 305, and then uses a +10, the stat cap is only 310.

  • +Maximum Stat Scrolls are dropped by the Harrower, ranging from +5 to +50.
  • +50 Maximum Stat Scrolls can be bought for 500ED in Trinsic.
  • The highest your Total Stat Cap can be is 350.

Individual Stat Cap

Individual stats are capped at 125 for any particular stat. An individual stat may not go higher than 125 unless you buy a +5 individual stat scroll.

  • +5 Individual Stat Scrolls cost 50ED, and it only raise the cap of ONE stat of your choosing by +5.
  • +Individual Stat Scrolls DO stack!
  • The highest your Individual Stat Cap can be for any particular stat is 150

ED[Excelsior Dollars] are spent in Trinsic at the ED stone.


The total of your individual stats cannot exceed your Total Stats Cap!

A +25 Max Stat Scroll is a good place to start and possibly all you really need! This allows you to do 125 Dex/125 Str/75 Int, a nice well rounded combo that doesn't require you to spend ED. Then, if you boost your Dex Cap and later on, your Str Cap, you reduce your Int until 150/150/25. GoC gear, relayers and even jewelry give you a LOT of int/mana, so plan accordingly! Also note that 150 Str vs 125 Str is only a 12 HP difference for 250 ED. For twice that investment you could buy a relayer!

Raising Stats

If you decide to lower a stat (in order to raise another) be careful! Once you have raised your desired stat, lock your int (usually the stat being lowered), or it will continue to drop at stat gain checks, EVEN if your other stats cannot increase!

In other words, NEVER leave stats with the arrow pointing down without careful monitoring of your stat progress. --Viola 14:35, 11 March 2012 (CDT))

There are three ways to raise your stats:

Using Skills

Stats are slow to raise through training/using skills, gaining 1 point about every 15 minutes. Here is a guide on the primary and secondary skill for each stat.

You can only gain the primary or secondary stat while performing a skill. Locking one will help ensure the other raises only.

See also: the training room section on stats.

Using Essences

Purchased from other players or looted random monster loot in Felucca.

One essence = +1 point to that stat.

Will not boost past your current Individual Stat Cap OR Max Stat Cap.

Using Items

There are many items that can boost your stats. Any Item that boosts stats will not be affected by total stat cap or individual stat cap.

The easiest item to procure as a new player for a boost in any stat is crafted jewelry. Player crafted jewelry has a max intensity of +8 on stat boosts.
