1. What is AP?

AP stands for Ability Points. You can use AP to increase your character’s basic stats: Strength (STR), Dexterity (DEX), Intelligence (INT), Luck (LUK), as well as maximum HP and MP. To check your character’s stats, press the shortcut key \[Default: S].

You can increase STR, DEX, INT, or LUK by 1 point using AP. The amount of AP required to increase HP and MP depends on your character's Job.

1.1. Stat Distribution

  • Gaining AP: You receive 5 AP each time you level up, with additional AP granted upon certain Job advancement. 
  • Using AP: You can accumulate AP to HP, MP, STR, DEX, INT, or LUK. If you are unsure where to allocate points, you can use the "AUTO-ASSIGN" button to distribute AP based on your Job’s recommended stats. 

1.2. AP Reset

When you click the “RESET” button, all previously allocated AP will be returned to you. \

You can then assign the points to different stats as desired.  

2. What is SP?

SP stands for Skill Points, which are used to level up and enhance your Skills. Press the shortcut key \[Default: K] to open the Skill window and view your current Skills. Each Skill has a maximum level, and each point of SP increases a Skill's level by 1.

  • Gaining SP: From Level 1 to 100, you get 3 SP per level. Starting at Level 101, you get 3 SP for most levels, and 6 SP for levels ending in 0, 3, 6, or 9. (Example: Level 101 = 3 SP, Level 103 = 6 SP) Certain Job advancements grant additional SP.

Tip
You will have enough SP to max out all your regular Skills by Level 140. After that, you will unlock Hyper Skills, which you do not require SP.

3. What are Hyper Skills?

Hyper Skills are powerful abilities that you can learn starting at Level 140. They include passive skill enhancements, powerful attacks, and active buff skills. 

  • Passive Skill Enhancements: These skills boost the effects of your existing skills in various ways. New passive Hyper Skills unlock at specific level milestones. You will earn Hyper Skill SP at Level 140, 150, 165, 180, and 190. 

  • Active Attack and Buff Skills: These are unique active skills with powerful effects, unlocked at Level 140, 160, and 190. Hyper Skills are not affected by Potential and also ignore certain cooldown reduction and buff duration increase effects.

3.1. How to reset Hyper Skills

You can freely reset Hyper Skills at any time by pressing the "RESET” button.  

There are no costs or limits to how often you can reset them. 

4. What are Hyper Stats?

Hyper Stats provide additional stat boosts for your character. Once you reach Level 140, you can access the Hyper Stats window through the Character Stats window (shortcut key \[Default: S]) by clicking the "HYPER” button. From Level 140 and onward, you will gain Hyper Stat Points each time you level up. You can allocate these points to increase the level of your desired Hyper Stat.
