Stats & attributes

What each attribute affects

These are effect descriptions, not tested per-point formulas. Older sources use labels such as Light Intensity or Shadow Intensity. Match a guide’s term to the current stat interface before following an allocation.

Attributes and combat stats are different

An attribute is a place to invest points. A combat stat is a resulting value on the character or equipment panel. BloxInformer’s stat reference uses these terms:

The glossary does not establish a damage formula, resistance cap or guaranteed return per attribute point. In particular, a PvE bonus should not be added to a PvP damage estimate.

Stat points and skill points

Stat points are invested in attributes and progression requirements. Skill points are used for unlocks such as traits, passives, and weapon abilities. The source tables frequently shorten a cost to “Points”; that label is retained in our trait reference rather than silently assigning a currency type.

A stat threshold can make a trait available without granting its effect automatically. Check the level, quest, Marks, and preceding-trait requirements as well as the attribute investment.

Why weapon proficiency may not upgrade

The community FAQ says a proficiency upgrade needs unspent stat points, sufficient money, and a full proficiency experience bar. Hitting enemies is listed as a way to earn proficiency experience.

If an upgrade is unavailable, inspect all three conditions. A video showing a single requirement may be explaining one missing condition rather than the entire upgrade process. Our weapon table lists the proficiency requirement for each documented item.

Strength and weapon scaling: a source disagreement

The current Stats reference says Strength increases scaling on physical attacks. An older build video’s narration says weapon scaling comes from proficiency and that Strength affects misdirect and physical penetration. Those claims should not be blended into a new damage formula.

Until the current game’s scaling is measured, use the weapon’s listed proficiency field and verify actual damage under identical conditions. We do not publish a calculated DPS value or a guaranteed Strength multiplier.

Resetting attributes

The Stats reference directs players to the Lady of the Lake and the Gift of Renewal option. It describes the cost in terms of Insights and/or Marks but does not give a universal price.

Read the current dialogue and confirm what the selected gift resets. A stat reset, race reroll, and grimoire reroll are separate actions. Do not assume that one changes all three systems.

Planning a useful allocation

Start with a task: surviving a boss, maintaining mana, or enabling a particular trait. Write down the minimum requirements for that plan, then check the complete point budget and gear requirements. The build page provides two planning checklists without presenting an unfinished allocation as a tested build.
