== Primary Attributes ==
These are shown as "Basic Stats" in your character panel.
=== Morale ===
:* ''In-game Definition:'' The amount of damage you can take before being defeated in combat.
* Morale is the equivalent of "health", "hit points", or "HP" in other games, and is roughly commensurate with the amount of pain the character can suffer before being [[Game_Terms#Defeat|defeated]].
* Maximum Morale can be improved by wearing equipment that grants a Morale or Vitality bonus. Some foods can also grant a Morale/Vitality bonus, as can other consumable items. Virtues and other Combat Traits can also provide Morale/Vitality bonuses.
* Morale that has been lost will regenerate at a rate determined by In-Combat Morale Regeneration (when in combat) or Out-of-Combat Morale Regeneration (when NOT in combat).  
* Several classes have skills that will recover other characters' lost Morale, and all classes have skills that will recover each's own lost Morale.
* Lost Morale can also be recovered by a wide variety of consumable items.

=== Power ===
''See also [[Skill Power Cost Calculation]] for information about how Power costs are calculated.''
:* ''In-game Definition:'' The energy required to use your skills.
* Power is the equivalent of "mana", "magic", or "MP" in other games, and is roughly commensurate with the physical ability of a character to use skills.  Most of a character's skills consume some power as they are used. 
* When a character's Power reaches zero (0), skills that cost Power (which is most of them) can no longer be used.  A character can still engage in combat, and if already in combat, will remain so.
* Maximum Power can be improved by wearing equipment that grants a Power bonus. Virtues and other Combat Traits can also provide Power bonuses. 
* Power that has been expended will regenerate at a rate determined by In-Combat Power Regeneration (when in combat) or Out-of-Combat Power Regeneration (when NOT in combat).
* Several classes have skills that will recover other characters' expended Power, and all classes have skills that will recover each's own expended Power.
* Expended Power can also be recovered by a wide variety of consumable items.

=== Wrath ===
This stat is only applicable to the [[Beorning]].  
A Beorning does not consume power, but has a similar stat called [[Beorning#Wrath|Wrath]].
* ''In-game Definition:'' Skills in man form build Wrath when used.
* ''In-game Definition:'' Skills in Bear form consume Wrath when used.
* ''In-game Definition:'' Wrath slowly builds over time in Bear form.

=== Armour ===
* ''In-game Definition:'' Reduces the damage you take from attacks.
* ''In-game Definition:'' A large percentage of your armour value is added to your Common Mitigations.
* ''In-game Definition:'' A small percentage of your armour value is added to your Non-common Mitigations
[[Armour]] provides strong damage reduction against [[Game Terms#Damage_2|Physical/Common]] damage sources and some damage reduction against tactical sources.
* 1 point of Armour = 1 point increase in [[Physical Mitigation]]
* 1 point of Armour = 0.2 point increase in [[Tactical Mitigation]]

=== Might ===
: Might is the primary stat for [[Heavy Armour]] classes ([[Beorning]]s, [[Brawler]]s, [[Captain]]s, [[Champion]]s and [[Guardian]]s), and increases a set of important stats including Critical Rating, Physical Mastery Rating and/or Tactical Mastery Rating. 
: The exact contributions from Might is different for each class. For details on how Might contributes to stats for each class, see [[Character Stat Derivations]].

=== Agility ===
: Agility is the primary stat for [[Medium Armour]] classes ([[Burglar]]s, [[Hunter]]s, [[Warden]]s and [[Mariner]]s), and increases a set of important stats including Critical Rating and Physical Mastery.
: The exact contributions from Agility is different for each class. For details on how Agility contributes to stats for each class, see [[Character Stat Derivations]].

=== Vitality ===
: Vitality increases maximum [[Morale]], [[In-Combat Morale Regeneration]] and [[Non-Combat Morale Regeneration]].
: For details on how Vitality contributes to stats for each class, see [[Character Stat Derivations]].

=== Will ===
: Will is the primary stat for [[Light Armour]] classes ([[Lore-master]]s, [[Minstrel]]s and [[Rune-keeper]]s), and increases a set of important stats including [[Mitigation]] and [[Resistance Rating]], which reduces the chance a character will be affected by [[Wound]], [[Disease]], [[Fear]] and [[Poison]] effects.
:  The exact contributions from Will is different for each class. For details on how Will contributes to stats for each class, see [[Character Stat Derivations]].

=== Fate ===  
: Fate increases a character's maximum [[Power]] and [[Non-Combat Power Regeneration]].
: As Beornings do not use power, they instead gain maximum [[Morale]], [[In-Combat Morale Regeneration]] and [[Non-Combat Morale Regeneration]] from Fate.
For details on how Fate contributes to stats for each class, see [[Character Stat Derivations]].

== Secondary Attributes ==
Lost Morale and Power regenerate over time, both in and out of combat. Of course, regeneration in combat occurs a lot slower than out of combat.

The speed of regeneration (in points per minute) depends primarily on your race and class. It is modified by your Basic Stats and, in the case of [[In-Combat Morale Regeneration]], also the Virtue [[Justice]] (keep in mind that also [[#Primary Attributes|Primary Attributes]] can be augmented by [[Virtues]]).

All regeneration rates can be sped up by [[Cooked Food]] and [[Master Item Index|Gear]].

== [[Damage]] Dealt ==
=== Physical Mastery ===
Amount of damage dealt with [[Melee]] or [[Ranged]] weapons and abilities. Improved with [[Might]], [[Agility]] and/or [[Will]], depending on the class.

=== Tactical Mastery ===
Increase the amount of damage you do with [[Tactical]] abilities like those of the [[Lore-master]], [[Minstrel]], and [[Runekeeper]], as well as several [[Captain]] and [[Warden]] skills. It also increases your [[Outgoing Healing]]. Improved with [[Might]], [[Agility]] and/or [[Will]], depending on the class.

=== [[Critical Rating]] ===
Increases your chance to score critical and devastating hits with your attacks, as well as the magnitude of those hits.

== [[Damage Reduction]] ==
=== [[Mitigation]] ===
Mitigations are divided into two categories: [[Physical Mitigation]] and [[Tactical Mitigation]].

==== [[Physical Mitigation]] ====
{{:Physical Mitigation}}

==== [[Tactical Mitigation]] ====
{{:Tactical Mitigation}}

=== [[Defence]] ===

==== Melee Defence ====
Reduces the [[Melee damage]] you take by a certain percentage.

==== Ranged Defence ====
Reduces the [[Ranged damage]] you take by a certain percentage.

==== Tactical Defence ====
Reduces the [[Tactical damage]] you take by a certain percentage.

=== [[Resistance]] ===

Increases your chance of resisting [[Fear]], [[Wound]], [[Disease]] and [[Poison]] effects, as well as [[Tactical]] attacks.

=== [[Avoidance]] ===

==== Block ====
Your chance to [[block]] or [[partially block]] an incoming [[Melee]] or [[Ranged]] hit. Generally, a [[Shield]] must be equipped in order to [[block]], and your attacker must be in front of you. Some Class Trait Lines, namely from [[Beorning]]s, [[Brawler]]s, [[Champion]]s, and [[Guardian]]s, allow you to block attacks without the use of shields.

==== Evade ====
Your chance to [[evade]] or [[partially evade]] an incoming [[Melee]] or [[Ranged]] hit. You can [[evade]] a hit from any direction.

==== Parry ====
Your chance to [[parry]] or [[partially parry]] an incoming [[Melee]] or [[Ranged]] hit. A [[Weapon]] must be equipped in order to [[parry]], and your attacker must be in front of you.

=== [[Critical Defence]] ===

==== Melee Critical Defence ====
Reduces an opponents chance to score a critical hit with [[Melee]] weapons and abilities.

==== Ranged Critical Defence ====
Reduces an opponents chance to score a critical hit with [[Ranged]] weapons and abilities.

==== Tactical Critical Defence ====
Reduces an opponents chance to score a critical hit with [[Tactical]] damage [[skill]]s.

== Stat caps ==
===Basic Stats caps===
Basic Stats as found in the Character Panel (Morale, Power, Armour, Might, Agility, Vitality, Will, Fate) are not subject to a cap restriction. A large part of their function is to provide ratings, which in turn give a percentage based chance, boost or reduction to a Offence or Defence stat.
===Offence and Defence caps===
Percentage based stats in the other sections (Offence, Defence) of the Character Panel do have a cap. <u>This cap is applied to the percentage derived from their source rating(s) only</u>. Any other percentage bonuses from [[traits]], [[equipment]] or consumables are added on top of the rating derived percentage.

The source ratings in themselves are not subject to a cap. You'll need an amount of rating (cap rating) to reach the cap of the calculated percentage. Any amount exceeding the cap rating is wasteful and not used, unless you want to compensate for rating based debuffs or for mobs higher than your own level.

The following are lists of percentage caps/cap ratings for end levels as currently set on various servers. The cap ratings are based on a mob level equal to your own. The same like being used in the Character Panel.

Notes:
* Mobs in raids and instances can have rating penetration buffs (a kind of rating debuff to you). You'll need to compensate for these rating amounts to reach the same cap percentages.
* [[The Hiddenhoard of Abnankâra]], [[Gwathrenost, the Witch-king's Citadel]], [[Depths of Mâkhda Khorbo]] and likely also any newer instances, do not have penetrations for B/P/E and Resistance ratings.
* For all instances released after [[Update 41 - Wednesday July 31, 2024|Update 41]], all enemies are applied a [[Difficulty Tier (U41)|Stat Enhancement]]. On Tiers 2 and 3, this includes a Mitigation Penetration.
* In some raids you may encounter mobs of higher level than yourself. At least for [[Mitigation]] it's known that you need to calculate with, prepare for, the mob's level of cap rating (penetrations as well of course). In these cases you can check out the tables in 'Penetration Effect Ratings & affected Cap Ratings for all levels' below the server caps tables.
* Percentages in the Character Panel are rounded to 0.1 precision, so a value slightly below the correct values listed here might wrongly display as the percentage cap.
