Charts
Charts are created using the data points directly taken from the game. Therefore, if there is a mismatch between chart and explanation, it is better to look at chart info.
For example, even though the formula might give 32.5, in game this might get rounded to 33.
Attributes

The default Move Speed for each class is 300, which translates to 100% Move Speed, with penalties or bonuses provided based on Agility. Performing certain actions, such as attacking, or moving in certain directions will also affect Move Speed. Backwards = 60%, Crouch = 65%, Walk = 65%.

- 50 to 100 = 0.5% each, up to 60%
Debuff Duration
Debuff Duration governs the duration of temporary negative status effects. A negative Debuff Duration is beneficial to have, as it will shorten the duration of debuffs. A positive Debuff Duration stat means debuffs last longer, which is detrimental to the player.
0 Will starts at = 400% Debuff Duration
Every Will point gives a % decrease to Debuff Duration
- 0 -> 400%
- 0 to 1 = 170%each, up to233%)

...
- 100 = -37.5%
Use the chart for accurate info.
The decrease slowly slows down with different reduction amounts that is not logarithmic nor linear.
Durations are not rounded and last their exact amount. However, actions that are performed in intervals, like Damage/Healing [time], are rounded down to the nearest integer, resulting in thresholds that players may want to take advantage of.
Knowledge
Spell Casting Speed
Spell Casting Speed governs the speed at which you cast magical spells.
Spell Casting Time = (Base Casting Time)/(1 + Spell Casting Speed)
0 Knowledge starts at = -95% Spell Casting Speed
Every Knowledge point gives a % increase to Spell Casting speed depending on fixed thresholds
- 0 -> -93%
- 0 to 1 = 0% per point -> (threshold at -93%)
- 1 to 19 = 5% -> -3%
- 19 to 30 = 3% -> 30%
- 30 to 40 = 4% -> 70%
- 40 to 45 = 3% -> 85%
- 45 to 100 = 2% -> 195%
Magical Interaction Speed
Magical Interaction Speed affects the speed with which the player interacts with magical objects, such as Shrines and Portals.
0 Knowledge starts at = -75% Magical Interaction Speed
Every Knowledge point gives a % increase to Magical Interaction Speed depending on fixed thresholds
- 0 -> -75%

Memory Capacity
Memory Capacity govern your spell cost cap, meaning equipping spells that exceed this cap will not be usable.
0 Knowledge starts at = 0 Spell Memory/Capacity
Every Knowledge point gives an increase to Spell Capacity
- 0 to 6 -> 0
- 6 to 100 = 1 each, up to 94
Each point of Memory Capacity affects how many Spell Points you recover for Spells when Resting, Meditating, sitting at a Campfire, receiving Bard's Chorale of Clarity buff, or when under the effects of a Clarity Potion. For Recharging skills however, Memory Capacity is not applied. See Spell Restoration for more details.
Total Memory Capacity = ceil(Memory Cap from Knowledge * (1 + Memory Cap Bonus%)) + Add Memory Cap
Memory Cap Bonus% and Add Memory Cap are two different Enchantments.
For example, with 12 Memory Cap from 18 knowledge, +8 Add Memory Cap, and 7.7% Memory Cap Bonus, the final Memory Capacity will be
ceil(12 * 1.077) + 8 = 21 Memory Capacity
Spell Recovery
Increases the amount of Spell/(Skill?) Restoration (SP) you restore per tick.
SP Recharge per tick (SP/tick) = Base Recharge * (1 + Health Recovery Bonus)
Each point in Knowledge increases your Spell Recovery Bonus.

Resourcefulness
Interaction Speed
Increase Interaction Speed value * 0.6.
Check Interaction Speed for more
Persuasiveness
Persuasiveness determines the duration of Bard songs' buffs/debuffs.
0 Resourcefulness starts at = 0 Persuasiveness
- 0 -> 0%
- 0 to 35 -> 1 each, up to 35
- 35 to 71 = 0.5 each, up to 53
- 71 to 99 = 0.25 each, up to 60
Base buff duration formula:
Scaling x Persuasiveness
In other words, each point in Persuasiveness over 20 grants a 5% longer base duration.
For example, Perfectly played Rousing Rhythms have 4.5x scaling and if Bard has 20 Persuasiveness, outgoing buff duration will be:
4.5 x 20 = 90
seconds
This will also get multiplied by the receiver's Buff Duration

Luck
Luck increases chance of getting better loot rarity. Whoever opens the loot first or kills the mob first is the person whos luck is used to calculate the drops.
Luck stat affects each rarity differently. Luck Cap in the game is 500.
It is only possible to get maximum of 249 Luck in the game currently:
- 50 from Bard's Wanderer's Luck
- Possible 150 luck roll from a large Potion of Luck
- 25 from a Fangs of Death Necklace
- 24(12 x 2) from two Grimsmile Rings
- 1-Junk: Each luck decreases chance by 0.1%, 500 Luck: 0.5x Chance
- 2-Poor: Each luck decreases chance by 0.1%, 500 Luck: 0.5x Chance
- 3-Common: Each luck decreases chance by 0.05%, 500 Luck: 0.75x Chance
- 4-Uncommon is not affected by luck
- 5-Rare: not linear, diminishing returns, 500 Luck: 3.5x Chance
- 6-Epic: not linear, diminishing returns, 500 Luck: 3.88x Chance
- 7-Legendary: not linear, diminishing returns, 500 Luck: 4.25x Chance
- 8-Unique: not linear, diminishing returns, 500 Luck: 4.38x Chance
Luck Value Table
Luck | Junk | Poor | Common | Uncommon | Rare | Epic | Legendary | Unique |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
50 | x0.95 | x0.95 | x0.975 | x1.0 | x1.48 | x1.54 | x1.62 | x1.64 |
100 | x0.90 | x0.90 | x0.95 | x1.0 | x1.90 | x2.04 | x2.17 | x2.22 |
150 | x0.85 | x0.85 | x0.925 | x1.0 | x2.28 | x2.47 | x2.66 | x2.72 |
200 | x0.80 | x0.80 | x0.90 | x1.0 | x2.60 | x2.84 | x3.08 | x3.17 |
250 | x0.75 | x0.75 | x0.875 | x1.0 | x2.88 | x3.16 | x3.45 | x3.54 |
300 | x0.70 | x0.70 | x0.85 | x1.0 | x3.11 | x3.42 | x3.73 | x3.84 |
It is important to note that Luck only increases chance of finding a high tier loot only if looted container/corpse has a chance of dropping high tier loot. So if loot table has no "Epic" drop chance, high luck won't make it drop "Epic" even if you have 250 luck as 0% chance multiplied by 3.16 is still 0.
Check Lootables to see which lootables drop high tier loot.
Loot is rolled when you open the container or kill the mob. (It is not confirmed if Bard's Unchained Harmony rolls the loot table when it opens the containers.)
Enchantment Stats
Stats that come from weapons, armors or jewelry imbued with item enchantments.
Additional Magical Damage
Increases Magical Damage dealt (not affected by Magical Power Bonus).
Additional Physical Damage
Increases Physical Damage dealt (not affected by Physical Power Bonus).
All Attributes/Primitive
Increases all Attributes (Strength, Agility, Will, Knowledge, Resourcefulness).
Armor Penetration
Armor Penetration governs the amount of physical damage you do that will completely bypass your enemy's armor rating.
Unlike in game description, armor pen decreases Physical Damage Reduction instead of Armor Rating. It has no affect on negative Physical Damage Reduction.
% Physical Damage Reduced = (100 - Attacker's Armor Pen) * Target's Physical Damage Reduction
100 Armor Penetration would decrease Damage reduced to 0.
This modifier cannot bring Damage Reduction below 0%. There is no functional difference between 105% Penetration and 100% Penetration. This modifier also does nothing if the target's Damage Reduction % is 0% or less.
Headshot Reduction
Headshot Reduction governs the amount of mitigated damage conferred by wearing protective head gear.
Decreases the headshot multiplier by flat amount. For example, normal headshot deals 150%, if the enemy has Armet which has 18% Headshot Reduction, instead it deals 150-18 = 132%
damage
Impact Power
Impact Power governs the strength of your weapon strikes against a target, it determines if you can break objects and stagger blocking enemies.
Magic Penetration
Magic Penetration governs the amount of magical damage you do that will completely bypass your enemy's magic resistance rating.
% Magical Damage Reduced = (100 - Attacker's Magic Pen) * Target's Magical Damage Reduction
100 Magical Penetration would decrease Damage reduced to 0.
This modifier cannot bring Damage Reduction below 0%. There is no functional difference between 105% Penetration and 100% Penetration. This modifier also does nothing if the target's Damage Reduction % is 0% or less.
Magical Healing
Increases total healing done by magic (Cleric's heal spells and Warlock's Torture Mastery)
This specifically affects your spells, not heals received from others.
(Base Heal Amount + (Magical Healing * Scaling of Spell)) * (1 + Magic Power Bonus * Scaling of Spell)
Scaling info:
- Lesser Heal = 100%
- Holy Light = 100%
- Sanctuary = 50% per second (250% total)
- Torture Mastery = 25%
Check Healing page to learn more about the mechanic.
