Combat stats and modifiers

P.Atk is an abbreviation for Physical Attack and determines how much damage you will inflict on a player or monster with a P.Def of 64.

[your weapon's P.Atk] x [your level bonus] x [your STR bonus]

P.Def P.Def is an abbreviation for Physical Defense and determines how much damage your armor can absorb when a player or monster hits you with their weapon.

[your armor's total P.Def] x [your level bonus]

Accuracy Accuracy affects your hit/miss ratio with your weapon. The higher your accuracy, the better.

([square root of your DEX] x 6) + [your level] + [your weapon's Hit Modifier]

Critical Critical affects your chance of a critical hit. The higher your Critical, the better. While Critical damage is usually double normal damage, skills like Critical Power can increase the multiplier of a critical hit.

[your DEX bonus] x [your weapon's Critical bonus]

Attack Speed Attack speed determines how fast you strike with your weapon. Attack Speeds are directly comparable (for example, Attack Speed 500 is twice as fast as Attack Speed 250), with one exception. Bows have a delay period after ever arrow is fired, which basically cuts a bow's Attack Speed in half. To figure a bow's

functional Attack Speed, do just that — divide the displayed number in half.

[your DEX bonus] x [your weapon's Attack Speed]

M.Atk (Magic Attack) helps determine the amount of damage your weapon and a certain spell will do on a player or monster. [your weapon's M.Atk] x [your level bonus]^2 x [your INT bonus]^2

M.Def M.Def (Magic Defense) determines how much magic damage is absorbed by your accessories.

[your accessories' combined M.Def] x [your level bonus] x [your MEN bonus]

Evasion The higher your Evasion, the less likely you are to be hit by an attack. Shields can lower your Evasion, but can also partially block hits.

([square root of your DEX] x 6)+ [your level]

Speed Speed determines how fast you can walk and run. Like Max HP and Max MP, it is the product of a base (unseen) value and a stat modifier — in this case, DEX.

[your class's Base Speed] x [your DEX bonus]

Casting Speed Casting Speed is how fast you cast spells. All casting speeds are comparable to each other (Casting speed 500 is twice as fast as casting speed 250).

166.5 x [your DEX bonus]

Carrying Capacity Carrying capacity is how much you can carry. As you carry more and more, you begin to be penalized. This is represented by a color-change from yellow to orange to red on your carrying capacity bar. For example, at 50% capacity, your HP/MP regeneration rates are slower.

52,000 x [your CON bonus]

Most of the useful stats for each creature are listed in the Monsters chapter. However, those stats don't include their P.Atk, P.Def, M.Atk and M.Def. That's because these stats are (in general) almost totally determined by the creature's level, so we've listed those values here, in a single table. These are average stats, but they are correct for over 95% of the creatures in Lineage II. There are a few exceptions to that rule of thumb:

Physical Attack Damage Roughly speaking, if a strike hits, the damage it inflicts is:

[attacker's P.Atk] x 70 / [defender's P.Def]

This can be further modified by several factors, including a purely random damage modifier (of about +/- 5%) and of course, whether a critical hit is scored. (Dual Fist and Daggers have the lowest random damage variation. Blunt weapons have the highest variation.)

Magical Attack Damage (square root of [attacker's M.Atk/defender's M.Def]) x [skill's Power] x 91
