DEX
Dexterity: Decides your accuracy with your weapons. It also increases your ASPD (but requires more stats than AGI to increase ASPD by 1), as well as decreasing cast time of your spells. It also reduces the min-max damage rate, allowing you to do better average damage output, eventually almost always only doing top-end damage should you invest in DEX highly. As noted in STR description, bow, gun, whip and instrument users do not increase their damage through STR; they do it through DEX. DEX also has a close relationship with success rates with creation abilities such as weapon forging as a Blacksmith class or making a potion as an Alchemist class. Also, success rate of ability Steal (Thief's ability) depends on your DEX.

- Increased damage of bows, guns, whip and instrument attacks
