Hey , quick question. Say i have 2%str helm 2%str glove 2%str shoe 2%str overall 2%str pendent 2%str cape. and my Overall STR, including equips, is 600str.. Would that be, my 600STR + 12% STR? Can somebody please also tell me how to add that up to see how much STR it actually adds? Sorry im a noob D: Thanks for the feedback all of you!

12% str from 600 str is= 72 str so with your str+12% str you would have 672 str. I believe that's how it works.

I thought it's % on the str on the item, not on the base str? :S

Potential effects overall stats. (items and base)

o.o I thought it was % on your base STR so not including the item bonuses? Not sure. xD

Its definitely base

From what I've heard it's % from the base. If it was % of whatever from the item it wouldn't really amount to anything and +stat items would be better.

I'm pretty sure it's % str from the total minus whatever str bonuses the item itself gives. Let's say I have 590 dex and I have a 10 dex 3% dex overall. With this overall I have 600 dex + 3% dex, but the 3% dex is calculated from the 590 dex so I will not get 18 dex, but slightly less. I'm not 100% sure this is how it works because I haven't sat down and really tinkered with it, but from the brief observation I've done, this is how it goes.

% is not base, its % of ur total stat without % equips. meaning if u have 600 str, a boot you have gives +10 str, and u have a total of 12% str, you would get +12% of 610 str.

ive been told 2 diffrnet things.... 1. that the items stats are the only thing affected by the % eg. overall with 10dex has 3% dex on it then u get like 0.3 dex 2 the other is the more commonly assumed... the % on the item affects your overall stat count... eg. 10% of 400str is 40 i have no idea relly

I heard that Nexon recently changed the % system on potentials. From what I've been told, the %s now apply to your BASE stat, each individually. Let's assume you have 500 base STR. 2% of that would be 10STR. So if you have 6 2% STRs, then you'd have 500+10+10+10+10+10+10 = 560 STR. Add in the rest of your equips and you'd have 660STR in all. I'm not 100% sure, though.

overall stat count, base+equips, then all the %'s are calculated in this case you should receive 72 str bonus

% effectives total stats base and stats from equips together. Not that hard to figure out really. Just do the math. Its that simple.

% Incorporates TOTAL stats BEFORE potential. For example - 600 Base Str 690 Str after equips 750 Str after MW Assuming you have 5 2% bonuses, you'll receive 10% of 750, which is 75, so your Str will be 825. That is the correct, 100% accurate formula. If anyone wants proof, I can very easily prove it. And % add up, not multiply together. So if you have 6%+3%+9% You get 18% total
