Your Guide to HP and MP

STR/DEX have no bearing on HP or MP. It's a common misconception that STR affects HP gain because INT affects MP gain. Not the case.

Non-damage dealing uses (secondary uses) of stats:

STR - Damage reduction
DEX - Accuracy, Avoidability, Hands
INT - MATK, MDEF, MP gain, Hands
LUK - Avoidability, Accuracy, EXP loss on death, Hands

However, thank you for helping. Confirmation is a part of having accurate data.

Well, this weird pattern showed up. Every one of my samples, expect for the "Brandini" and "Mardi" are Islanders who pumped STR, and nothing but. However, "Brandini" is pure Dex, had more MP than anyone else, and a notably lower HP.

If you go on a private server and jack your STR up to 30k, it's obvious that it reduces damage too. I don't know how it's factored but I know that it IS a factor. But that isn't the purpose of this thread.

Were those like guessed ranges as in you rounded them, or did you actually get those numbers? I think you'd have to be pretty lucky to get numbers like that from 2-3 advances for all classes. o_O

Private Servers aren't exactly the best source of data like this. I'll have to ask Fiel, the expert, but I don't think that information is stored in the WZ files, but rather stored in the Source, which is editable.
