*'''Intelligence (INT)''' affects the character's Magical Attack power (MATK), Magical Defense rate (MDEF), Spiritual Points (SP), and Cast Time. More points in INT makes the character do more damage with spells, take less damage from enemy magic, and have a bigger SP pool for casting skills. It also allows them to take less time casting their spells. More details about Cast Time are explained in the Cast and Delay section below. | *'''Intelligence (INT)''' affects the character's Magical Attack power (MATK), Magical Defense rate (MDEF), Spiritual Points (SP), and Cast Time.

*'''Dexterity (DEX)''' affects the character's Accuracy rate (HIT), ranged Attack power (ATK), Cast time, and slightly affects their Attack Speed (ASPD). More points in DEX reduces the chances of missing an enemy with attacks, allows Ranged attacks to deal more damage, reduces time when casting spells, and allows quicker attacks. | *'''Dexterity (DEX)''' affects the character's Accuracy rate (HIT), ranged Attack power (ATK), Cast time, and slightly affects their Attack Speed (ASPD).

'''A general rule of thumb is to have at least 60 DEX at Base level 60, and at least 80 at Base level 120. More details about Cast Time are explained in the Cast and Delay section below.''' | |||
*'''Luck (LUK)''' affects the character's Critical rate (CRIT), and slightly affects ATK, MATK, and HIT. Having more LUK allows the character to land more Critical Hits, which deal 40% more damage and cannot miss. | *'''Luck (LUK)''' affects the character's Critical rate (CRIT), and slightly affects ATK, MATK, and HIT.

'''Skill Window (Alt+S)''' | |||
Skills can be learned by spending Skill Points, which are gained whenever the character's Job level goes up. All skills can be classified as either Passive or Active. | Skills can be learned by spending Skill Points, which are gained whenever the character's Job level goes up.

Passive Skills | '''Passive Skills''' | ||
Passive skills are skills which do not need to be activated to take effect. These skills usually provide certain bonuses that are applied once the skill is learned. An example of these skills are the Mastery skills (e.g. Swordsman's Sword Mastery or Priest's Mace Mastery) which adds bonus ATK when wielding a certain kind of weapon. | Passive skills are skills which do not need to be activated to take effect.

It is important to note that while these skills seem trivial at first glance, they can be important in maximising a character's potential in relation to its job class' role. | It is important to note that while these skills seem trivial at first glance, they can be important in maximising a character's potential in relation to its job class' role. | ||
Active Skills | '''Active Skills''' | ||
Active skills are skills that needs to be activated to take effect. Activating a skill is done by double clicking on the skill icon on the skill window, or by placing the skill on the Hotbar and pressing the corresponding keyboard key. | Active skills are skills that needs to be activated to take effect.

Targeted skills can further be divided to unit-targeted and ground-targeted. Unit-targeted skills require the player to target a monster or a player, while ground-targeted skills are cast on the ground. Some examples of ground-targeted skills are Acolyte's Pneuma and Mage's Thunderstorm. | Targeted skills can further be divided to unit-targeted and ground-targeted.

Non-targeted skills do not need a target, and are activated on button or key press. These skills are often self or party-targeted by default. Some examples of these are Merchant's Loud Exclamation and Acolyte's Angelus. | Non-targeted skills do not need a target, and are activated on button or key press.

As for Defense, it is based on the DEF and MDEF values, depending on what kind of attack the character receives. As with ATK/MATK, the number on the left is called SoftDEF and SoftMDEF, derived from your stats, and the number on the right is called HardDEF and HardMDEF, derived from your equipment and skills. | As for Defense, it is based on the DEF and MDEF values, depending on what kind of attack the character receives.

The Defense calculation in RO is somewhat complicated, but to put it simply, HardDEF and HardMDEF reduces damage by a percentage, and SoftDEF and SoftMDEF reduces damage by a flat amount. Additionally, the effect of HardDEF/MDEF is reduced exponentially as the numbers go up; i.e., the higher it is, the less each additional number affects the total damage reduction. | '''The Defense''' calculation in RO is somewhat complicated, but to put it simply, HardDEF and HardMDEF reduces damage by a percentage, and SoftDEF and SoftMDEF reduces damage by a flat amount.

For example, A character with 150 + 400 DEF has 150 SoftDEF and 400 HardDEF. When taking a damage of 1000, the HardDEF reduces it by about 40%, and the SoftDEF reduces it further by 150. The resulting damage that the character takes is 450. | For example, A character with 150 + 400 DEF has 150 SoftDEF and 400 HardDEF.

Attack Property Reductions, which reduce damage based on the attack's element. This kind of reduction, particularly Neutral property reductions, are the most commonly used, due to the fact that monsters rarely use elemental attacks besides Neutral. Examples of items with these reductions include Card Raydric Card, Immune Shield[1], and the Gray Equipment Set from Ghost Palace. | *Attack Property Reductions, which reduce damage based on the attack's element.

Attack Speed | '''Attack Speed''' | ||
A character's Attack Speed is labeled as ASPD on the Status Window. It is derived from the character's stats, mostly AGI and DEX, and is modified by the weapons and shield that the character has equipped. Every class has a different ASPD modifier for different weapons. For example, a Merchant gets -12 penalty from wielding daggers, but a Thief only gets -8. The application of this mechanic is calculated as 50 / 200 - ASPD hits per second. In MuhRO, the maximum attainable ASPD is 193, which is 7.14 hits per second. | A character's Attack Speed is labeled as ASPD on the Status Window.

'''Accuracy, Dodging, and Critical Attacks''' | |||
*Accuracy rate is labeled as HIT, which is mainly derived from the character's DEX and Base Level, and may be further increased via certain equipment which add HIT value or percentages. When your character lands a hit, a white damage number is shown, and when a monster lands a hit on your character, a red damage number is shown. | |||

The actual Hit rate is calculated as [80 + AttackerHit - DefenderFlee]%. | The actual Hit rate is calculated as [80 + AttackerHit - DefenderFlee]%. | ||
Dodge rate is based on FLEE, which is derived from AGI and Base Level, and is increased by certain equipment which adds FLEE value. When your character dodges a monster's attack, a white "miss" message will appear over the attacker's head. When someone dodges your character's attack, a red "miss" message will appear over your character's head. | *Dodge rate is based on FLEE, which is derived from AGI and Base Level, and is increased by certain equipment which adds FLEE value.

The character's dodge rate is calculated as [100 − (AttackerHit − DefenderFlee)]%. However, it is important to note that when dealing with more than 2 monsters, FLEE is reduced by 10% per additional monster; i.e. When crowded by 5 monsters, your applied FLEE is only 70%. | The character's dodge rate is calculated as [100 − (AttackerHit − DefenderFlee)]%.

Perfect Dodge is a special stat shown as the right side number on the FLEE stat. It is derived mostly from a character's LUK stat, and can also be increased with equipment which adds Perfect Dodge. When a character performs a perfect dodge, the attacker will have a "miss" message, and your character will make a "Lucky" speech bubble for a split second. | *Perfect Dodge is a special stat shown as the right side number on the FLEE stat.

'''Cast Bar''' | |||
Cast Bar | |||
Cast Time is the time needed for a character to execute a skill. It is shown as a bar above the character head which fills up with green. When it is completely filled, the cast finishes and the skill is executed. A character cannot move, attack, or use other skills while casting. Additionally, if a character is attacked during the process, the cast will be interrupted, and the skill must be re-cast. | Cast Time is the time needed for a character to execute a skill.

Every skill has a different amount of cast time; some has no cast time (i.e. an instant skill), and others have long ones (such as a Wizard's Storm Gust and a Priest's Magnus Exorcismus). Learning to work with skills that has long cast times will help you maximise your character's potential. Alternatively, there are certain equipment that grants non-interruptible casting, such asCard Phen Card and Orlean's Gown . | Every skill has a different amount of cast time; some has no cast time (i.e. an instant skill), and others have long ones (such as a Wizard's Storm Gust and a Priest's Magnus Exorcismus).

Cast Delay | '''Cast Delay''' | ||
Delay is the time applied after casting a skill where a character is unable to cast more skills. During this time, the character can still move, use items, and attack normally. | Delay is the time applied after casting a skill where a character is unable to cast more skills.
