Six Stats, One Character
ROW uses the classic six: STR, AGI, VIT, INT, DEX, LUK. Job Freedom resets stats when you change jobs, so a leveling dump is disposable. Do not spend Star Stones on respecs. In-game Build Plan after Job 2 (around level 40) is the template you should copy first â?walkthrough: Build Recommendation.
| Stat | What it actually buys | Who dumps it |
|---|---|---|
| STR | Melee ATK, weight limit, cart for Merchant | Swordsman, Knight, Monk combo, Merchant while leveling |
| AGI | ASPD, flee | Hunter ADL, Assassin, Gunslinger if you need the 193 ASPD cap |
| VIT | HP, soft DEF, status resist | Knight tank, Crusader, Champion tank, Priest who must live |
| INT | MATK, SP pool, heal scaling | Mage / Wizard, High Priest, Druid Arcanist |
| DEX | Hit, cast time, ranged ATK for bows/guns | Hunter, Gunslinger, Wizard instacast, Priest who needs cast |
| LUK | Crit, lucky dodge, some drop luck | Assassin crit, optional on Hunter â?never first on a tank |

First-Week Dumps That Do Not Waste Stones
- Mage / Wizard: INT, then DEX for cast. Fire-Earth or Ice-Lightning later â?Mage Build, Wizard Build.
- Gunslinger: DEX + AGI, enough STR only if weight is the problem. Burst king: Gunslinger Build.
- Swordsman â?Knight: STR while leveling, full VIT before Time Corridor Hard and Monday Siege â?Knight Tank.
- Acolyte â?Priest: INT + VIT. Battle Priest adds STR. Siege healer: High Priest.
- Monk / Champion: Asura wants ATK and Max SP (STR + INT), not a LUK experiment â?Asura Strike.
- Druid: Pick one form before you split stats. Werewolf melee â?Arcanist INT â?Druid Form Guide.
Soft Caps Worth Knowing
ASPD 193 is the published cap. Extra AGI past cap is wasted on auto-attack jobs. Hit still matters on high-flee MVP and Arena; DEX is the cheap fix before you buy hit cards. Weight is STR plus bag upgrades â?overweight cuts ASPD and move speed; Merchant feels it first.
Element converters and armor cards do more damage than two leftover LUK points. Chart: Element Table. Cards: Best MVP Cards.
When to Respec
Respec on job change is free. Mid-job respec for Zeny exists in hub cities â?use it when you swap Knight leveling STR into castle-night VIT, not every time a YouTube video drops. Week eight still wants a named tank and a healer on August 31: Week Eight Guide.
