Game Mechanics

In this article we have collected information on key points of game mechanics. Such as player stats, how magic critical chance works, resists, etc. This article will be updated over time.

Base Stats

Strength (STR):
Increases amount of physical damage.

Intelligence (INT):
Increases damage of magic attacks and success rate of curse spells.

Dexterity (DEX):
Increases attack speed, physical skill speed, accuracy, evasion, critical hit probability, success rate of dagger skills (such as Deadly Blow), shield defense success rate, and movement speed.

Wittiness (WIT):
Increases chance of magic critical hits, casting speed, resistance to Hold, resistance to curses (such as HP degeneration, decreased HP recovery rate, increased skill re-use time, and decreased effect of heals).

Constitution (CON):
Increases maximum HP and CP, HP recovery speed, weight limit, underwater breath gauge, shock resistance, and bleeding resistance.

Mental (MEN):
Increases magic defense, maximum MP, MP recovery speed, poison resistance, and curse resistance. Decreases probability of magic interruption.

Magic Critical Rate

Magic critical rate depends on the WIT, buffs and passives. Maximum possible value for magic critical rate is 50%.

Base critical rate by classes: Bonus from buffs: Bonus from items:
(data includes +4 wit and Dark Crystal Robe set)
  • Mystic Muse: near 7.7%
  • Archmage: near 6.6%
  • Storm Screamer: near 6.3%
  • Wild Magic: 50%
  • Dance of Siren: 50%
  • Wild Magic (Life Stone): 50%
  • Prophecy of Water: 100%
  • Wisdom (Masterwork): 25%
  • Necklace of Valakas: 100%

Example:

Mystic Muse in Dark Crystal Robe set with Wild Magic, Dance of Siren and Prophecy of Water have:
7.7 * (1.5 * 1.5 * 2) = near 35%

If add Wild Magic from Life Stone magic crit.rate will be:
7.7 * (1.5 * 1.5 * 2) * 1.5 = near 52%, but max possible value is 50%

How work Cancel

Cancel works with l2off rules - Game trying to cancel buffs 1 by 1 from the last one till 1st with some chance. This chance depends on target cancel resistance. As example if cancel base chance is 20% and target has 50% cancel resist it means that cancel has 10% chance (20 * 0.5) to cancel each of your buffs from last till 1st. The only exception from l2off at our server is that 100% cancel resist grants immunity to cancel.

It is not so useful to have less than 50% cancel resist because it will not have significant impact. Each buff has his own chance to be cancelled, depending on magic level of buff, so +30 enchanted buffs has less chance being cancelled.

Elemental Resistances

Magic attacks are divided into 7 types:

  • Fire attack
  • Water attack
  • Wind attack
  • Earth attack
  • Holy attack
  • Dark attack
  • Non-elemental attack

Damage of elemental attacks can be modified by buffs and passives. Damage from non-elemental attacks cannot be reduced by resistances. Damage is increased depending on the difference between the attack modifier and the defense modifier of the same element.

Damage Modifiers:

The difference between the offense modifiers and the defense modifiers is called the final damage modifier. The final damage modifier can not be lower than -50%.

As example:

If the attacker has 30% fire attack effectiveness and the victim has 60% fire resistance:

  • Final damage modifier = 30% (offense modifier) - 60% (defense modifier) = -30%.
  • Final damage = 100% (base damage) - 30% (final damage modifier) = 70% of base damage.

If the attacker has 30% fire attack effectiveness and the victim has 90% fire resistance:

  • Final damage modifier = 30% (offense modifier) - 90% (defense modifier) = -50% (can`t be lower).
  • Final damage = 100% (base damage) - 50% (final damage modifier) = 50% of base damage.

If the attacker has 30% fire attack effectiveness and the victim has 0% fire resistance:

  • Final damage modifier = 30% (offense modifier) - 0% (defense modifier) = 30%.
  • Final damage = 100% (base damage) + 30% (final damage modifier) = 130% of base damage.
