Stats

There are six stats in the game that a player may put points towards upon leveling up or gaining a Black Pearl. Each stat effects the player in a specific way.

Outside of these six stats, there are also other stats that signify your character's effectiveness at certain things, such as blocking, using spells or prayers, and the player's health pool.

When creating your character, stats should not be chosen lightly, as they will define who you are and who you will become. Those who no longer know who they are or once were have been doomed to rot on The Island.

Health

The amount of HP a player has. When this reaches zero, the player dies. Maximum Health is reduced every time the player is hit by an enemy (called "Wounding").

Focus

Stamina

The amount of energy a player has. Used for attacking, casting spells/prayers, rolling, and blocking. Recharges automatically. Maximum Stamina is reduced every time the player performs one of the actions listed above (called "Fatigue"), and caps at 50% (or 33% with the Conduit of Mind). This can be removed through the use of items or by resting at a sanctuary. Stamina can be raised by increasing the player's Endurance stat.

Attack

The amount of damage a player will do with the equipped weapon. Upgrading a weapon or increasing the stat that the weapon scales with will increase this amount. Can also be raised with certain equipment. Can be reduced depending on the enemy's defenses.

Drop Rate

The rate at which items are likely to drop from enemies. Drop Rate can be raised by increasing the player's Willpower stat. Can also be raised with certain equipment.

Equip

The amount of weight the player is currently carrying. Effected by the weight of the player's armor and equipped weapon. Having lower Equip will improve the player's rolling, movement speed, and jumping distance. Equip can be raised by increasing the player's Endurance stat.
