What is the max stats in Ragnarok?
As a passionate Ragnarok gamer, I‘m constantly researching how to maximize my builds. So what does it really take to hit the absolute ceiling for stats, gear, and completion? Let‘s analyze the numbers and top strategies in detail.
Pushing Base Stats to the Limit
Most classes in Ragnarok Online cap base stats at 99, but specialized 3rd classes can reach 120 base stats through job masteries unlocking further growth. Why settle for 99 when you can push 20 stats higher?
| Class Type | Max Base Stats |
|---|---|
| 1st and 2nd Classes | 99 |
| 3rd Classes | 120 |
Those 21 extra points give an enormous advantage – over 20% more power than lesser classes. But maximizing base alone isn‘t enough…equipment bonuses are also vital for topping the power charts.
LUK: Dominating Crits and Rare Drops
If you aren‘t pumping Luck (LUK), you‘re missing out on devastation. Why? LUK directly boosts both critical hit rate and rare item drop rate – two of any damage-dealer‘s biggest DPS boosters:
| LUK | Crit Rate % | Rare Drop Rate % |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | +3% | +2% |
| 120 | +36% | +24% |
At 120 LUK, you‘re dishing out over a third more critical blows. And scoring prized card drops 24% more often – which can upgrade gear even further when slotted. No wonder LUK builds dominate the power charts!
193 ASPD for Lightning Fast DPS
Attack speed directly translates into damage per second. At 193 ASPD, maxed out characters unleash a jaw-dropping 7.14 attacks per second! Even achieving the pre-100 level cap ASPD of 190 still delivers an extreme 6.93 attacks per second.
| ASPD Stat | Attacks Per Second |
|---|---|
| 150 | 5 |
| 190 (Level 100 cap) | 6.93 |
| 193 (Max) | 7.14 |
That‘s nearly 50% faster attacks than a base 150 ASPD character! No wonder 193 ASPD Warriors and Rangers destroy MVPs before you can even target them. Maximizing ASPD requires endgame gear, card bonuses, and consumables – but the sheer DPS is worth the investment.
Vitality – God of War‘s True God Stat
I‘ve analyzed the combat at length in God of War Ragnarok – and without question, Vitality reigns supreme. By directly boosting health, it massively outscales defensive gear upgrades. And the poise boost prevents interrupting crowd control that spells doom on higher difficulties.
| Vitality | Health Gain | Poise |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | +100 HP | +5% |
| 30 (Soft Cap) | +2000 HP | +50% |
No other stat boosts effective HP this drastically. 2000 extra health renders most attacks trivial – combine with 50% boosted poise for a nigh-unkillable warrior god! Vitality is thus non-negotiable for tackling the toughest Valkyries and realm challenges.
The Allure of 100% Completion
Completionists like myself love ticking every box – whether upgrading all gear, maxing character level, or finishing all quests and explorations. So what does 100% completion entail in God of War Ragnarok?
- Explore all traversable realms and territories
- Defeat every boss and legendary enemy
- Complete all favor, artifact, and lost page quests
- Upgrade Kratos and Atreus fully
- Open all treasure caches and realm tears
It‘s a towering checklist spanning over 50 hours for even seasoned veterans. And while 100% doesn‘t confer special rewards, that sense of fulfillment and closure for longtime fans like myself makes the long journey worthwhile.
Grinding to Level 10 and Beyond
Reaching just level 10 requires over an hour of dedicated grinding. And given God of War caps progression at level 9 for now, further leveling will likely arrive via future NG+ playthroughs or DLC. Just how exponential is the XP curve?
| Level | Total XP |
|---|---|
| 1 | 0 XP |
| 5 | 6,000 XP |
| 9 (Current Cap) | 105,000 XP |
Note it takes 6k XP just to hit level 5 – then nearly 100k more to reach the current peak at Level 9! Still, I‘m hopeful future updates will let us join the likes of Odin and Thor in the double digits.
Gearing Up: Classes, Crits, and Carrying Capacity
Classes favor certain stats for weapons, damage, and builds:
| Warriors | STR for damage |
| Rogues | LUK for crits |
| Mages | INT for magic |
| Supports | DEX for accuracy |
But VIT/Strength boosts carrying capacity for loot hauls too! Ultimately, balancing your core damage stat (Str/Agi/Int/Luk) with Vitality and carrying capacity is ideal.
The Secret to Getting Essence of Hel Quickly
Essence of Hel enhances builds but only drops from high level realm tears in Helheim. With just 6 realm tear locations, getting all 30 tears for crafting takes significant grinding. However, I‘ve found the fastest method is:
- Clear Niflheim realm tears first – they have better drop rates.
- Boost Luck stat as high as possible.
- Equip Luck+ gear and pop Luck potions/food.
- Save scum the tears by reloading saves.
This boosts your odds most efficiently. Though it still requires patience – even with maximized 140 Luck, you‘ll likely need to reload each tear over 10+ times. But use these tricks, and you‘ll get those top rarity Essences faster.
There we have it – peeking behind the curtain at what it really takes to hit the upper limits across stats, upgrades, and completion in these legendary titles! Let me know your own insights as well on how to take your builds to the next level in the comments below!
