<th style="background-color:#8A6444; color:#fad67d; width: 100%; font-size: 1.0rem;" colspan="3">[ Stats ]</th>

<td style="background-color:#faf6ed; font-size: 1.1rem;">This stat is primarily for increasing weight capacity. (Mages, by default, cannot carry heavy loads.)</td>

<td style="background-color:#faf6ed; font-size: 1.1rem;">Attack Speed (AtkSpd/ASPD) helps you cast spells faster and continuously spam skills. (It also reduces animation delays.)</td>

<td style="background-color:#faf6ed; font-size: 1.1rem;">Vitality (VIT) enhances survivability, but you can trade some VIT for Agility (AGI) or Luck (LUK). (Aim for at least 120 if using the Fallen Warrior Manteau and Vicious Mind Aura.)</td>

<td style="background-color:#faf6ed; font-size: 1.1rem;">Intelligence (INT) increases Matk and serves as your main source of damage and SP regeneration. (At least 120 INT is recommended if using Temporal INT Boots.)</td>

<td style="background-color:#faf6ed; font-size: 1.1rem;">Dexterity (DEX) also boosts Matk. Investing in DEX can help achieve instant-cast through stats. (If relying on gear for Variable Cast Time (VCT) reduction, you can skip DEX entirely. Aim for at least 120 DEX when using Temporal DEX Boots.)</td>

<td style="background-color:#faf6ed; font-size: 1.1rem;">Luck (LUK) is a situational stat, useful only if you have spare points for additional resistance and Matk.</td>

<th style="background-color:#8A6444; color:#fad67d; width: 100%; font-size: 1.0rem;" colspan="3">[ 4th Job Trait Stats ]</th>

<td style="background-color:#faf6ed; font-size: 1.1rem;">Mages neither deal nor scale with physical damage, so this stat provides no benefit.</td>

<td style="background-color:#faf6ed; font-size: 1.1rem;">Although Mages aren't naturally tanky, this stat can be useful for hybrid builds to reduce physical damage.</td>

<td style="background-color:#faf6ed; font-size: 1.1rem;">Similarly, while Mages lack natural tankiness, this stat can help hybrid builds reduce magic damage.</td>

<td style="background-color:#faf6ed; font-size: 1.1rem;">This is the primary core stat, providing the highest damage boost for every 3 points. (For example, 110 SPL grants 34 S.MATK.)</td>

<td style="background-color:#faf6ed; font-size: 1.1rem;">This is the secondary core stat, offering damage increases every 5 points. (For instance, 110 CON provides 20 S.MATK.)</td>

<td style="background-color:#faf6ed; font-size: 1.1rem;">Mage skills and magic, in general, do not crit, so this stat provides no benefit.</td>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Stats_2" style="font-size: 1.6rem;">Stats 📀</span></h3>

<p style="font-size: 1.0rem;">★ <b>Strength (STR)</b> <b><span style="color:blue;"> [Optional]</span></b><br>

▷ This stat primarily increases your weight capacity (in addition to Gym Passes). It also contributes to Masquerade resistance in PvP/WoE. If you have extra points to allocate, a STR range of 10-40 is sufficient.

<p style="font-size: 1.0rem;">★ <b>Agility (AGI)</b> <b><span style="color:red;"> [Essential]</span></b><br>

▷ Agility reduces ASPD delays, grants +1 Flee per point, and increases ASPD. Every 5 points in AGI also provides 1 SoftDEF. AGI boosts your attack speed, which significantly enhances skill spam. For most builds, aiming for [90+ AGI or higher] is recommended, and I suggest achieving at least 175+ ASPD to eliminate delays.<br>

It also shortens the duration of Masquerades in PvP/WoE.

<p style="font-size: 1.0rem;">★ <b>Vitality (VIT)</b> <b><span style="color:red;"> [Essential]</span></b><br>

▷ Vitality increases your Max HP by +1% per point and boosts the effectiveness of potions. Mages have the lowest HP modifier among classes (though not as low as Super Novices), and they can be quite fragile in both PvE and PvP scenarios. For improved survivability, it's recommended to invest in [70-90+ total VIT].<br>

VIT also provides protection against Crystallization, Freezing, and Mandragora Howling in PvP/WoE.

<p style="font-size: 1.0rem;">★ <b>Intelligence (INT)</b> <b><span style="color:red;"> [Essential]</span></b><br>

▷ Intelligence directly increases your MATK by +1.5 per point and is your primary source of SP regeneration. It also reduces cast time. INT is your core stat for maximizing damage output, and it is recommended to have [120+ INT], or 130 if aiming for instant-cast via stat.<br>

Additionally, INT helps reduce the duration of debuffs like Sleep, Deep Sleep, and Oblivion Curse.

<p style="font-size: 1.0rem;">★ <b>Dexterity (DEX)</b> <b><span style="color:blue;"> [Optional]</span></b><br>

▷ Dexterity helps reduce cast time, boosts ASPD by a small amount, and increases MATK by 1/5 per point. It is ideal to keep your DEX in multiples of 5 for efficiency. A minimum of [90-100+ DEX] and a maximum of 120-130 DEX are recommended, or 0 DEX if using VCT% gear for instant-cast.<br>

DEX also helps reduce the duration of Freezing effects.

<p style="font-size: 1.0rem;">★ <b>Luck (LUK)</b> <b><span style="color:blue;"> [Optional]</span></b><br>

▷ Every 3 points of LUK provide +1 MATK, making it a valuable option for increasing MATK in the later stages of the game. Raising INT from 120 to 130 requires 340 stat points and grants +15 MATK, whereas increasing LUK from 1 to 30 only requires 86 stat points for a +10 MATK boost. Glass Cannon and damage-focused builds typically invest in 30 or 60 LUK, depending on personal preference.

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Traits" style="font-size: 1.6rem;">Traits 💿</span></h3>

<p style="font-size: 1.0rem;">★ <b>Power (POW)</b> <b><span style="color:Purple;"> [Useless]</span></b><br>

▷ As mentioned earlier, this stat offers no practical benefit for Mages, so it's best to avoid investing in it. <br>

Status physical attack increases by 5 per point. <br>

P.ATK increases by 1 per 3 points.

<p style="font-size: 1.0rem;">★ <b>Stamina (STA)</b> <b><span style="color:blue;"> [Optional]</span></b><br>

▷ This trait stat boosts physical resistance (RES). While not highly recommended, it can be useful for hybrid builds. <br>

RES increases by 1 per point.<br>

RES increases by 5 per 3 points.

<p style="font-size: 1.0rem;">★ <b>Wisdom (WIS)</b> <b><span style="color:blue;"> [Optional]</span></b><br>

▷ This trait stat increases magic resistance (MRES). Similar to Stamina, it's not highly recommended but can be useful for hybrid builds. <br>

MRES increases by 1 per point.<br>

MRES increases by 5 per 3 points.

<p style="font-size: 1.0rem;">★ <b>Spell (SPL)</b> <b><span style="color:red;"> [Essential]</span></b><br>

▷ This is your primary trait stat, directly increasing your status magic attack and Spell Magic Attack (S.MATK). <br>

Status Magic Attack increases by 5 per point.<br>

S.MATK increases by 1 per 3 points.

<p style="font-size: 1.0rem;">★ <b>Concentration (CON)</b> <b><span style="color:red;"> [Essential]</span></b><br>

▷ This secondary trait stat increases accuracy (HIT), evasion (FLEE), physical attack (P.ATK), and Spell Magic Attack (S.MATK). <br>

S.MATK increases by 1 per 5 points.

<p style="font-size: 1.0rem;">★ <b>Creative (CRT)</b> <b><span style="color:Purple;"> [Useless]</span></b><br>

▷ As with Power, this stat provides no significant benefit for Mages, so it is best to avoid it. <br>

H.PLUS increases by 1 per point.<br>

C.RATE increases by 1 per 3 points.

<div style="border-bottom:1px solid #fad67d; background:#8A6444; color:#fad67d; padding:0.2em 0.5em; font-size:1.1rem; font-weight:bold;">[ About 4th Job Trait Stats ]</div>

<p style="font-size:1.0rem;">★ There are <b>6 main trait stats</b> that a player can allocate towards:<br>

<pre style="font-size:1.0rem;">(POW, STA, WIS, SPL, CON and CRT)

<p style="font-size:1.0rem;">★ Each of these main trait stats can grant various sub-trait stats:<br>

<pre style="font-size:1.0rem;">(P.ATK, S.MATK, RES, MRES, H.PLUS,and C.RATE)

<p style="font-size:1.0rem;">★ Any levels from <b>200</b> and beyond will grant Trait Stats instead of the normal Primary Stats.</p>

<li>A max level 4th job (lvl-250) has 197 Trait Status Points to use.</li>

<li>Turning to 4th job gives you 7 Trait Status Points.</li>

<li>Then every level gives you 3 Trait Status Points.</li>

<li>For every level that is divisible by 5 (Ex: 200, 205, 210…), you will get 7 trait stat points.</li>

<div style="border-bottom:1px solid #fad67d; background:#8A6444; color:#fad67d; padding:0.2em 0.5em; font-size:1.1rem; font-weight:bold;">[ About 4th Job Sub-Trait stat ]</div>

<p style="font-size:1.0rem;">▶ <b>Physical Power</b> <b><span style="color:Red;">(P.ATK)</span></b>

<dl style="font-size:1.0rem;"><dd>Final status physical attack and final equipment attack increases by&nbsp;%.<br></dd></dl>

<p style="font-size:1.0rem;">▶ <b>Spell Magical Attack</b> <b><span style="color:Blue;">(S.MATK)</span></b>

<dl style="font-size:1.0rem;"><dd>Final status magic attack and final equipment magic attack increases by&nbsp;%.<br></dd></dl>

<p style="font-size:1.0rem;">▶ <b>Physical Resistance</b> <b><span style="color:Purple;">(RES)</span></b>

<dl style="font-size:1.0rem;"><dd>Before calculating physical defense, it reduces normal physical damage taken by&nbsp;%. (Only up to 50%)<br></dd></dl>

<p style="font-size:1.0rem;">▶ <b>Magic Resistance</b> <b><span style="color:Orange;">(MRES)</span></b>

<dl style="font-size:1.0rem;"><dd>Before calculating the magic defense, it reduces the normal magic damage received by&nbsp;%. (Only up to 50%)<br></dd></dl>

<p style="font-size:1.0rem;">▶ <b>Heal Plus</b> <b><span style="color:Green;">(H.PLUS)</span></b>

<dl style="font-size:1.0rem;"><dd>Increases the final heal recovery by&nbsp;%. This increase is applied after normal heal recovery increasing effects.<br></dd></dl>

<p style="font-size:1.0rem;">▶ <b>Critical Rate</b> <b><span style="color:Brown;">(C.RATE)</span></b>

<dl style="font-size:1.0rem;"><dd>Increases the critical damage percent by&nbsp;%.<br></dd></dl>

<ul><li><b>New status system!</b></li></ul>

<p style="font-size:1.0rem;">▶ When you reach the 4th job level, status points for existing <b><span style="color:Brown;">(STR , AGI , VIT , INT , DEX , LUK )</span></b> are not given. But new trait status points are given instead, and those six new status trait stats are <b><span style="color:Brown;">(POW, STA, WIS, SPL, CON and CRT)</span></b>.</p>

<p style="font-size:1.0rem;">▶ Talent status points do not increase the amount of additional points gradually as the level increases. A certain point is given per level up, and bonus points are given for each specific unit level.</p>

<p style="font-size:1.0rem;">▶ Each new characteristic status has a fixed point investment cost of 1 point, unlike the existing status. Gravity made it possible to check the point investment more intuitively.</p>
