EQ:Stats

Every character in EQ has seven primary stats, as well as AC, attack, HP, and mana. All stats can be modified by buffs, and items. Additionally, each race starts off with different levels of primary stats. The secondary stats (AC, ATK, HP, and mana) can also be modified by buffs and items, but their base values are derived from your level and primary stats.

The Primary Stats

Wis -- Wisdom modifies the manapool of clerics, druids, shaman, and paladins, and also effects how fast certain skills are learned.

Int -- Intelligence modifies the manapool of enchanters, necromancers, wizards, and magicians, and also effects how fast certain skills are learned.

Str -- Strength provides a small bonus to attack and max hit, and also effects how fast certain skills are learned

Sta -- Stamina effects your base HP

Stat Caps

Maxing Out Your Stats

255 is the cap for all stats until you reach level 60. From there, the caps increase by 5 per level:

  • 61 - 260
  • 62 - 265
  • 63 - 270
  • 64 - 275
  • 65 - 280
  • 66 - 285
  • 67 - 290
  • 68 - 295
  • 69 - 300
  • 70 - 305
  • 71 - 310
  • 72 - 315
  • 73 - 320
  • 74 - 325
  • 75 - 330

In addition to these innate cap increases, you can purchase alternate abilities that raise your cap:

  • Planar Power (POP) = +5 to all stat caps per level (five levels for increase of 25)
  • Chaotic Potential (OOW) = +5 to all stat caps per level (five levels for increase of 25)
  • Potential of Serpent Spine (TSS) = +5 to all stat caps per level (five levels for increase of 25)

Casting classes also get this AA:

  • Innate Enlightenment (POP) = +10 to INT and WIS stat caps per level (five levels for increase of 50)

Additionally:

  • Upon completing the first tier of Dragons of Norrath Progression, all stat caps increase by 10.

Total Possible Stats:

  • Base + AAs + DoN = 330 + 75 + 10 = 415 total possible (465 for casting classes with Innate Enlightenment)
