What is Ability Points (AP)?
AP is an abbreviation of Ability Points, where points are gained every level up. It increases the stats of STR (Strength), DEX (Dexterity), INT (Intelligence), LUK (Luck), HP (Health Points), MP (Mana Points).
You can check out the stats window by pressing Primary Default Hotkey “A” / Secondary Default Hotkey “C”.
When increasing STR/DEX/INT/LUK, you gain 1 point per AP point.
For the case of HP/MP, the amount of stats per point varies from different classes.
How to obtain Ability Points (AP)?
5 AP is given per level-up.
Tip:
When there’s AP to be invested, use the Auto-Distribution button! The stats invested using the auto-distribution system will give your character the most optimal stats for your class.
