(8/9/03) 1.3- A few typos that needed to be fixed and the TP mat information was added. (9/24/03) 2.0- A massive overhaul has been done to this FAQ. I added in info on units and I also added a new section on where to find all these wonderful items.(2/20/04) Future- One day I might put FINAL on my FAQ but work is never done. I will always find things that need to be changed or added. Introduction: Well, this is my first FAQ and I wanted it to be on something that I like doing which is stat maxing. I have played many RPG's and have a select few that I love. Phantasy Star Online is one of those RPG's. I am making this FAQ because I have read the other Stat Maxing FAQs and did not think they helped that much. So, this guide is a comprhensive guide on the stats of all characters and how to max them. All the math is done and I will even make some suggestions on what I feel constitute as a well maxed character. Hope you like it!! Part I: Characters and Descriptions There are 12 character classes. Each one has a job class and a species. I will list them from Hunter to Force and in the same manner that they are listed in most guides, sites etc. A quick note, Androids start with 2 of each trap.

Some people (like me) have to have a specific stat no matter what game we play. This will show you who has what. Highest HP: RAcast (2214 HP) Highest ATP: HUcast (1639 ATP) Highest DFP: RAcaseal (688 DFP) Highest MST/TP: FOneweral (1750 MST) Highest ATA: RAmar (249 ATA) Highest EVP: RAmarl (900 EVP) Part III: What You Use to Max Your Stats There are certain items and equipment in this game that can raise your stats. Some raise the overall stat and some raise the base. Here is a simple diagram to understand where the base and max stats are listed in you start menu. OVERALL(BASE) As you can see base is the stat in the (). That is the stat that we want to raise with this guide. The items that you will use are first and foremost the materials which will from here on be called mats. Mats come in differnt types for each stat. None of them can go past the user limit of materials or help you go over the stats set limit. HP Mat: Raises HP 2 points. TP Mat: Raises TP 2 points. (Can only be obtained from the "Today's Rate" Quest, appears in Challenge mode) Power Mat: Raises ATP 2 points. Defense Mat: Raises DFP 2 points. Mind Mat: Raises MST 2 points. Evade Mat: Raises EVP 2 points. Luck Mat: Raises LCK 2 points. The only stat that doesn't have a mat to go with it is ATA. Back in v1&2 they had Hit Mats but since then they have vanished from PSO. So, that means that the only way to really raise it up is with a MAG. A MAG is a little pet that floats over your shoulder or back. You get them starting at lv. 5. You can raise them all the way to 200. By raising one of their stats you can not only lv them up but you can raise your base stats. The stats are as follows: IQ: Max is 200, tells how often your MAG will activate special ability. SYNCHRO: Max is 120%, tells how fast your PB gauge fills. DEF: Max is 200. 1 point on MAG equals 1 point DFP on character. POW: Max is 195. 1 point on MAG equals 2 points ATP on character. DEX: Max is 195. 2 points on MAG equals 1 point ATA on character. MIND: Max is 195. 1 point on MAG equals 2 points MST on character. Your MAG will start out with 5 in the DEF stat. So, then you have 195 more lvs to decide what other stats you want to raise. In this guide I use mats and your MAG to help build you into a maxed character. I do know that there are items that raise the base stats that are neither mats or MAGs. They are units. I will discuss them later on in the topic under: Other Items that can be used in stat maxing. Part IV: Where to Find Items to Max Your Stats Now I bet some people are thinking. Wow! stat maxing sounds simple. I just need to give them a certain amount of this and that. Well, it sounds easier then it is. First, you need to find the items that allow you to raise your stats. This can be a long and grueling process and that is why it is almost always easier to max your 2nd, 3rd etc. character. Mats can be found everywhere except Normal Forest. All you need to do is pick them up. They are in a green container. The rarest mats to find are Luck mats, the easiest (at least in my experience) are Defense Mats. TP mats are the only exception to this. They can only be gotten from the "Today's Rate" Guild Quest online. You also get to use them in Challenge mode but the effect is not permenent when you recieve the TP mats in Challenge mode. Part V: Max Stats & Base Max Stats Now for the major part of this FAQ. The stats. First the stats and what they are. Then a small explanation on why you should max them or even think about doing so. HP(Health Points): These are basic in almost every RPG known. If this stat ever gets to 0 you die. TP(Technique Points): This stat is for using techniques. It will slowly diminsh as you use spells or the Spirit ability on Weapons. When it hits 0 you can't use techs or Spirit. ATP(Attack Power): This stat determines how much damage your weapon attacks will do. The higher this stat the greater damage your attack will do. DFP(Defense Power): This stat determines damage that you are able to take from physical attacks. The higher this stat gets the less damage you'll take. You will also stop falling down from attacks after you get enough DFP. MST(Mental Strength): Mental Strength is what gives you TP (Technique Points) and makes your spells do more damage. The higher this stat is the more TP you'll have and the stronger your spells will be. ATA(Attack Accuracy): This stat determines if your physical attack will hit or not. If you have more you have a better probability to hit the target with you weapon. EVP(Evasion Power): Evasion Power is used to evade attacks or dodge them. You block them with your shield. This makes you take no damage. The higher the EVP the less likely that you will be hit by a physical attack. LCK(Luck): Luck is used to tell critical hit ratio ONLY. You can tell when your attack was critical because it makes a louder, sharper noise and does about double damage from you normal attack. Now why should you spend time maxing these stats. Well it's really quite simple. If a stat is higher your character will do better. So, you are basically just trying to make your character do the best he/she can. Here is a list of the characters and their base stats at level 200 as well their potetial max stats at 200. Another thing to say is about maxing HP and TP. HP can be maxed despite what many guides say. It's max is simply using all 125 HP mats. TP is maxed by using enough mind mats to max MST without a MAG or weapons and using all 125 TP mats. TP mats are only avliable to use in the "Today's Rate" Quest. They appear in Challenge mode but you can't keep the effects from Challenge mode. This means TP is a non maxable stat. So, just work on getting it as high as you think you will want it by lv. 200.

A lot of people think if a Force has weak defense then it is best to make them have higher defense. This strategy does not work that often. One is best reserved to making your character better at what he/she is already good at. There by making them stronger and over coming their weaknesses. So, my stat maxing is not revloved around really making the character well balanced in stats so they are somewhat good at everything, but rather to make them good at what they were made to do. Hunters were ment to do tons of damage with attacks while Forces support and cast spells that blow the enemies away and Rangers can come in with a spread and mechs and own things while not taking too much damage. So, here is what I believe to be the best stats with respects to my beliefs in character development. I am hoping you understand what I put down in the What You Use to Max Your Stats section. If you need to know why the chart looks this way just refer to the section on What You Use to Max Your Stats. This should explain my charts. Enjoy! Hunter stat maxing tips: Hunters tend to have the smallest gap between their base and max stats. On Hunters you need LCK maxed, so they do critical hits often, as well as ATP and ATA. This way you can attack and be killing everything in a 3-hit combo or less. The leftover mats and stats on your MAG should go to DFP and then MST or EVP. MST on hunters gets high enough for them to do what they were ment to really do which is heal and give themselves support when they need it. HUnewerals get the lv 20 techs so they can do decent damage with spells too. Also, make sure you get a Redria so that you can find a God/Battle. HUmar (Hunter+Human+Male) MATERIALS MAG STATS LEFTOVER Power 87 DEF 8 ATP 0 Defense 75 POW 140 DFP 0 Mind 6 DEX 52 MST 126 Evade 0 MIND 0 ATA 0 Luck 45 EVP 74 LCK 0 On the HUmars I didn't feel a real need to raise their MST. They only need it for Resta etc. The HUmar is built with ATP, DFP, ATA, and LCK maxed. With those stats and maybe a nice Force to cast Shifta & Deband you can really do some damage. HUneweral (Hunter+Newman+Female) MATERIALS MAG STATS LEFTOVER Power 105 DEF 51 ATP 0 Defense 0 POW 96 DFP 0 Mind 0 DEX 52 MST 290 Evade 0 MIND 1 ATA 26 Luck 45 EVP 145 LCK 0 I hated trying to max this class. So, I got her ATP, DFP and LCK maxed. Her ATA was too hard. I want to thank Tigereye here for giving me an idea of how to build her. She already has enough MST. HUcast (Hunter+Android+Male) MATERIALS MAG STATS LEFTOVER Power 85 DEF 10 ATP 75 Defense 20 POW 124 DFP 50 Mind 0 DEX 66 MST 0 Evade 0 MIND 0 ATA 0 Luck 45 EVP 75 LCK 0 WOW this guy has a ton of ATP. I couldn't even max it without dropping his ATA or LCK. It still is higher than any other class can get. I wanted to get some DFP on him so I just took away from his ATP. (Max trap potential= 20 Damage, 30 Freeze, 30 Confuse) HUcaseal (Hunter+Android+Female) MATERIALS MAG STATS LEFTOVER Power 73 DEF 5 ATP 0 Defense 32 POW 127 DFP 57 Mind 0 DEX 68 MST 0 Evade 0 MIND 0 ATA 0 Luck 45 EVP 100 LCK 0 You know Androids are really lucky they don't have MST to worry about. HUcaseal has ATP, ATA and LCK maxed and then I built up her DFP some. I want to make sure to say that this is how I would build these characters some people want maxed DFP so you could take from the ATP. I wouldn't take from the other two because you always need more ATA and LCK will prove to be invaluable when its maxed. This droid also has the fastest attack speed in the game. She is a speedy powerhouse. 'Nough said. Thanks to Wulfson for improved design. (Max trap potential= 24 Damage, 22 Freeze, 22 Confuse) Ranger stat maxing tips: This class is similar to the Hunter in that you want ATP, ATA and LCK maxed. This allows them to do the most damage they can. Then you can put the leftovers into DFP, MST and EVP. This class has some really high stats. They are all built strong and in my opinion Rangers get some of the best weapons in the game i.e. Spread Needle, Yas 9000, Snow Queen. God/Battles makes this class good too but the best ID seems to be either Purplenum or Greenill because they find these good weapons that the Rangers can use. RAmar (Ranger+Human+Male) MATERIALS MAG STATS LEFTOVER Power 107 DEF 40 ATP 0 Defense 58 POW 120 DFP 0 Mind 40 DEX 38 MST 78 Evade 0 MIND 2 ATA 0 Luck 45 EVP 76 LCK 0 You know Humans are really nice to try and max because they have 250 mats. RAmar can get all but MST and EVP. He doesn't really need either because of what they were supposed to do. They attack and heal themselves. I like RAmars better then HUmars because RAmars get Shifta & Deband. Even though they're lv15 they still help. This guy also has the highest ATA in the game. RAmarl (Ranger+Human+Female) MATERIALS MAG STATS LEFTOVER Power 100 DEF 20 ATP 0 Defense 56 POW 101 DFP 0 Mind 49 DEX 50 MST 143 Evade 0 MIND 29 ATA 0 Luck 45 EVP 102 LCK 0 RAmarl gets the highest EVP in the game but her 798 EVP is plenty. You can max all her stats but MST and EVP but MST gets fairly close because they have it really high already. This is why Humans are so nice to max and are generally an easier class to start the game with due to their balance. They are still good though even if this is your 5th character. Best of all RAmarl's have lv20 techs. RAcast (Ranger+Android+Male) MATERIALS MAG STATS LEFTOVER Power 105 DEF 9 ATP 0 Defense 0 POW 141 DFP 92 Mind 0 DEX 50 MST 0 Evade 0 MIND 0 ATA 0 Luck 45 EVP 73 LCK 0 I know some people will want a little more DFP but he will end up with 514 which is enough to survive attacks. Added on to this is the highest HP in the game. So, with his maxed ATP, ATA and LCK you can really do damage and not need to worry about taking too much damage. Oh yeah and this Ranger has the highest ATP of the Ranger class so he will be doing some nice damage with spreads. (Max trap potential= 30 Damage, 20 Freeze, 20 Confuse) RAcaseal (Ranger+Android+Female) MATERIALS MAG STATS LEFTOVER Power 29 DEF 36 ATP 0 Defense 21 POW 116 DFP 48 Mind 0 DEX 48 MST 0 Evade 0 MIND 0 ATA 0 Luck 45 EVP 74 LCK 0 This little Droid girl is a defesive powerhouse and doesn't need much more in the DFP area but you can afford to give her some. If you want you can always tag some of the mats onto her EVP. I maxed her ATP, ATA, LCK. She's a defensive RAcast. She also gets better armors then RAcast (Love Heart, Safety Heart). (Max trap potential= 30 Damage, 20 Freeze, 24 Confuse) Force stat maxing tips: Forces first of all need the MST maxed. That should be the first stat you go for above all else. It is what makes a Force a Force. Then you should work on DFP because their ATP is useless (not the humans though but they can use more mats). So, strive to get MST and then DFP then get what you want. Best ID here in my opinion is almost a tie between Redria and Pinkal. I give the edge to Pinkal because they were made as a Force ID in that they find high level techs fairly often and you can get quite a few of the best Force weapons on this ID. FOmar (Force+Human+Male) MATERIALS MAG STATS LEFTOVER Power 84 DEF 9 ATP 0 Defense 70 POW 41 DFP 0 Mind 75 DEX 50 MST 0 Evade 0 MIND 100 ATA 0 Luck 21 EVP 100 LCK 48 FOmar is almost exactly like FOmarl in terms of stat maxing. His ATP is just much higher. So, to make up for this you just drop EVP and some LCK. He will still be doing good damage and FOmar is the one true jack-of-all-trades in this game which is why I call him the Red Mage. FOmarl (Force+Human+Female) MATERIALS MAG STATS LEFTOVER Power 35 DEF 5 ATP 0 Defense 72 POW 41 DFP 0 Mind 73 DEX 52 MST 0 Evade 38 MIND 102 ATA 0 Luck 32 EVP 0 LCK 26 FOmarl is such a nice character to max. All of her stats but LCK max, but her LCK gets pretty high (72 luck). That's basically all there is to say about her. FOnewm (Force+Newman+Male) MATERIALS MAG STATS LEFTOVER Power 0 DEF 55 ATP 171 Defense 0 POW 15 DFP 0 Mind 71 DEX 0 MST 0 Evade 72 MIND 130 ATA 52 Luck 7 EVP 0 LCK 76 My FOnewm has DFP and MST maxed and I gave him more ATA and ATP instead of putting it onto EVP. I maxed this FOnewm's MST, DFP and EVP. All the little small numbers on POW and Luck were just leftovers that I could do anything with so I just filled it out. Those 3 stats are all you really need to make him a nuking spell machine. FOneweral (Force+Newman+Female) MATERIALS MAG STATS LEFTOVER Power 0 DEF 15 ATP 102 Defense 21 POW 0 DFP 0 Mind 90 DEX 0 MST 0 Evade 39 MIND 185 ATA 53 Luck 0 EVP 70 LCK 90 This girl is hard to max. I just maxed her MST because that is what she needs most to do her spells, and her DFP because she needs to be able to survive being hit with the lowest HP total in the game. The leftovers were put onto her EVP becasue she does have the 2nd highest EVP in the game so I figure get her closer to that and try to help her defensively. Part VII: Other Items That Can Be Used in Stat Maxing There are other items besides mats and MAGs that can be used in stat maxing. I however do not like to use them. I like to have my unit spots open for items like Cure/Shock or Resist/Blizzard for Falz. If you do want to max all stats with using units I will provide how much each unit lets you rasie the stat. Here: Digger/HP: Raises Max HP by 10. General/HP: Raises Max HP by 20. Dragon/HP: Raises Max HP by 40. God/HP: Raises Max HP by 80. Magician/TP: Raises Max TP by 10. God/TP: Raises Max TP by 80. Knight/Power: Raises Max ATP by 5. General/Power: Raises Max ATP by 10. Ogre/Power: Raises Max ATP by 15. God/Power: Raises Max ATP by 50. Warrior/Body: Raises Max DFP by 10. General/Body: Raises Max DFP by 20. Metal/Body: Raises Max DFP by 30. God/Body: Raises Max DFP by 50. Priest/Mind: Raises Max MST by 5. General/Mind: Raises Max MST by 10. Angel/Mind: Raises Max MST by 15. God/Mind: Raises Max MST by 40. Marksman/Arm: Raises Max ATA by 3. General/Arm: Raises Max ATA by 5 Elf/Arm: Raises Max ATA by 7. God/Arm: Raises Max ATA by 15. Theif/Legs: Raises Max EVP by 10. General/Legs: Raises Max EVP by 20. Elf/Legs: Raises Max EVP by 30. God/Legs: Raises Max EVP by 40. Angel/Luck: Raises your LCK by 10. God/Luck: Raises your LCK by 30. Master/Ability: Raises ATP, MST, EVP, DFP, and LCK by 5. Hero/Ability: Raises ATP, MST, EVP, DFP, and LCK by 10, and HP by 1.

I consider it almost a waste because I know that a bad status effect can make all those high stats mean nothing so you are better off putting cure units and Resist units to block elements and let us not forget about the wonderful God/Battle that makes you attack faster. I'm not saying that stat raising units are useless. I used them when building up my character and other characters. They allow you to equip that weapon or use that tech disk a little sooner. That to me is the purpose of the stat raising units. But you may use them as you see fit. That is the beauty of this game. You can make your character how you want them to be. Part VIII: Questions and Troubleshooting Q: I'm having a hard time trying to build your perfect stats, any tips? A: My stats are just suggestions. It is a lot harder to do this on your first character then your second or third. But if you really want to max it on your first try then you should really concentrate on your MAG. This is something you can do as long as you have money. Get your ATA up first to hit stuff and then ATP etc. Forces only really need MST and techs so concentrate on looking for those. If any friends you know found some mats they don't need ask for them and hope they are nice. Q: I love MAGs and want to get a fourth evolution Rati for my Ranger, any help? A: I must say that I don't know MAGs that well. If you really like MAGs then build them. This game was designed so that you are in control. I play this game to make my characters Gods not to get all the MAGs. Q: I think I messed up on my RAmar and gave him 1 to many Power Mats help?!!! A: My advice is that if you want to follow my FAQ that closely then write on a piece of paper and keep tally marks till you get to the number. If you did mess up you can always just change the MAG design. These things aren't set in stone. Q: I don't like having no DFP on my RAcast. Your FAQ sucks! A: These are suggestions. I have made that very clear to everyone. If you don't like the way I do something then change it. I have provided info so that you can do what you want to their stats. Q: I found another way to put fewer units on my character and still max stats!? A: Good Job. If you do find a better way then by all means tell me. I will make the changes and give you full credit. My e-mail and AIM are at the bottom should you want to contact me. Part XI: Thanks etc. Well, this FAQ is over and I have people and sites etc. that I want to thank. First, I would like to thank GameFAQs. I love this site and it truly brings gamers together. I want to thank www.pso-world.com for the stat info on base and max stats as well as the class info in general. I'll thank the calculator on my computer for helping me do the math. I want to thank Sonic Team and Sega for bringing this holy grail of a game to us, the public. I also want to thank the posters who informed me about how you could get TP mats through the "Today's Rate" quest. I haven't been online in a while so that was a big help. Lastly, I want to thank the players: Kodak, Seymour, Ashendark, Tigereye, and WILL. You guys made the game worth playing, without you guys I would never have gotten Rift to 200. I hope all goes well in all games you guys play. Thanks! If anyone has an extreme desire to meet me online I no longer have an HL but I plan to get one again once Kodak is in his 190's. Or when I'm bored of the outside world. My character is: Rift FOnewm Lv.200 Pinkal I have other characters I'm working on and I will post them when they reach 200. Besides Rift is how everyone knows me. Good Hunting! This FAQ is copyrighted 2004 by Rift, Master of Magic and cactrotman.
