Atributos

Todo o sistema de atributos foi reformulado. Com o aumento do nível máximo, o limite para atributos máximos também foi elevado para 130. O aumento nos pontos de atributos disponíveis permite a criação de classes híbridas verdadeiras. Abaixo está uma breve descrição de cada atributo com comparações aos mecânicos pré-Renovação, se aplicável.

STR:	AGI:
Para armas corpo a corpo, cada ponto em STR aumenta StatusATK em +1 e WeaponATK em 0,5%. Para armas de longo alcance, a cada 5 pontos em STR aumenta StatusATK em +1. Cada ponto de STR também adiciona +30 ao Limite de Peso. O bônus de ATK por cada 10 pontos de STR para armas corpo a corpo não é mais aplicado.	Cada ponto em AGI adiciona +1 Esquiva (Flee) e aumenta a Velocidade de Ataque (ASPD). Além disso, a cada 5 pontos em AGI adiciona 1 Defesa Suave (SoftDEF).
VIT:	INT:
Cada ponto em VIT adiciona +1% de MaxHP, aumenta a eficácia de itens de cura em +2% e confere +1% de resistência a vários efeitos de status. A cada 2 pontos em VIT adiciona +1 Defesa Suave (SoftDEF). A cada 5 pontos em VIT adiciona +1 Defesa Mágica Suave (SoftMDEF) e +1 Taxa de Recuperação de HP.	Cada ponto em INT adiciona +1,5 de StatusMATK, +1% de MaxSP, aumenta a eficácia de itens de cura de SP em 1% e reduz o tempo de conjuração. A cada 2 pontos em INT adiciona +1 de SoftMDEF e a cada 6 pontos em INT adiciona +1 na Taxa de Recuperação de SP. O bônus de múltiplos de 5 e 7 para minMATK e maxMATK não é mais aplicado.
DEX:	LUK:
Para armas de longo alcance, cada ponto em DEX aumenta StatusATK em +1 e WeaponATK em 0,5%. Para armas corpo a corpo, a cada 5 pontos em DEX aumenta StatusATK em +1. Cada ponto em DEX também adiciona +1 HIT, reduz o tempo de conjuração e aumenta ASPD. A cada 5 pontos em DEX adiciona +1 StatusMATK e +1 SoftMDEF. O bônus de ATK por cada 10 pontos de DEX para armas de longo alcance não é mais aplicado	Cada ponto em LUK adiciona +0,3% de Taxa de Acerto Crítico, além de resistência a vários efeitos de status. A cada 3 pontos em LUK adiciona +1 de StatusATK, +1 de StatusMATK e +1 de HIT. A cada 5 pontos em LUK adiciona +1 de Esquiva (Flee) e +1% de Taxa Anti-Crítico. A cada 10 pontos em LUK adiciona +1 de Esquiva Perfeita (Perfect Dodge).

Sub Atributos

Além dos Atributos, várias Substats também foram drasticamente alteradas. A maioria delas define a principal diferença entre os Mecânicos Pré-Renovação e Renovação.

ATK	MATK
In Renewal, the Attack Power(ATK) is divided into two, StatusATK and WeaponATK. In essence, they both contribute to the final damage (StatusATK being multiplied by two). However, when amplified by racial/size/elemental bonuses (such as Hydra Card or Skeleton Worker Card), only the WeaponATK is amplified. This makes it so that people no longer rely on 4-slotted starter weapons (such as a Quad-Racial Composite Bow), and instead will strive to get higher level weapons with higher ATKs and Refine rates to deal better damage.	As with ATK, Magical Attack Power(MATK) is also divided into two, StatusMATK and WeaponMATK. With the introduction of this update, many weapons now possess a flat MATK number (e.g. 280 MATK from Staff of Destruction; 105 MATK from Bazerald). In MATK's case, WeaponMATK makes up the greater percentage of the final damage, due to the variance factor which relates to weapon level.
DEF/MDEF	Cast Time
The Defense(DEF) and Magical Defense(MDEF) system was revamped in the Renewal Update. HardDEF/MDEF is no longer limited into a 1-100 point system, with 100 being full immunity. Instead, the effect of HardDEF/MDEF is now reduced exponentially as the number goes up (i.e. the higher the number, the less effect every single point adds); and in DEF's case, the number often goes way beyond 100. For example, 200 HardDEF gives about 25% damage reduction, and 400 HardDEF gives about 40% damage reduction. As for MDEF, 20 HardMDEF gives about 15% damage reduction, and 40 HardMDEF gives about 25% damage reduction. With this change, many armor have had their DEF number raised significantly (e.g. 85 DEF from Meteo Plate Armor; 16 DEF from Naght Sieger's Flame Manteau; 120 DEF from Sacred Mission) to match the new DEF calculation system.	One of the most significant changes that happened with the Renewal update was Cast Time. It is now split into Fixed and Variable Cast Time. The Fixed Cast Time part is not affected by Stats, and can only be reduced by special means (e.g. Arch Bishop's Sacrament or Temporal DEX Boots). Not all skills have a Fixed Cast Time, but the addition of Fixed Cast Time disallows skills like Acid Demonstration and Asura Strike to be cast instantly. Variable Cast Time, on the other hand, is similar to the Cast Time in Pre-Renewal. The main difference is that it is no longer reduced only by DEX, but also by INT. Variable Cast time can be completely eliminated if (DEX x 2 + INT) = 530.
SoftDEF/MDEF	Critical
Which is mostly based on VIT and INT respectively, did not go through a lot of change from Pre-Renewal. They reduce damage subtractively, removing flat amounts from the final damage after the HardDEF/MDEF reductions are applied.	Critical hits had been slightly altered in Renewal. Critical hits still ignore FLEE, but it does not ignore DEF anymore. Instead, it will deal 40% more damage by default. Additionally, more items provides Critical Damage bonuses, which means with the right combination of equipment and cards, it's possible to deal 200% your regular damage per critical hit, or even higher.

Traits

Six new stats related to attribute status are added.

• From level 200 on, when leveling up, status points for existing STR/AGI/VIT/INT/DEX/LUK are not given.
• New trait status points are given to distribute among 6 new trait statuses.
• Activity Point (AP) is a new resource mechanic exclusive to 4th job skills.
• Attribute status points do not increase the amount of additional points gradually as the level rises.
• 4th job classes also gain bonus to these traits with increasing JobLVL.
• In addition, unlike the existing status, each new characteristic status has a fixed point investment cost of 1 point.
