Stats are an attribute that Rukaan can gain or increase by participating in various activities around the group. The stat points they acquire will count as bonus points towards different events and challenges as their skill level increases. Rukaans may earn up to 10 points in each stat category, though that cap may be exceeded by applying companions, traits or items with stat bonuses.
The stat categories are:
Strength
Speed
Stamina
Intelligence
Defense
Attack
Each Rukaan starts out with 0 points in each stat unless they've inherited some from their parents.
Base stat points (those listed in the stat block on the import) may be gained by:
Being inherited from a parent with stats through Breeding
Ranking up in the Ranking System
Reward items from Quests
Winning Battles against some opponents
Purchasing stat boosting items at the Merilian Marketplace
Stats can be applied to a Rukaan at The Grand Treasury.
The following items don't change the Rukaan's base states, but offer a stat bonus on top of the Rukaan's base stats:
Equipping companions with stat bonuses
Having stat related Traits
Stats may be used as a bonuses in:
Shows
Feats
Battles
Other group events
To show off how awesome they are
Different stat types will offer bonuses to different battle opponents or show/feat classes. For instance, speed will help you a great deal in a race while attack may be extra useful in a fight.
If you have earned a stat point, it can be applied in the Grand Treasury journal. If you wish, you can also remove their stat points at the Treasury, though you will not get them back.
