How does the stats-numbers work?

The important thing to do when checking out the RO wiki, is to make sure that you're reading the pre-3rd class one. So you want the old wiki, not the new one, because we're playing the old stuff, not the new fancy stuff.

With that in mind, I'd suggest looking at the str and aspd pages from the old wiki to help you with your math.

http://irowiki.org/oldwiki/Aspd

There's a lot of important changes when you look at the old and new wiki's especially in the math behind the game, so you're going to want the formulas that we actually use.

Read through the wiki, memorize the formulas, become a RO genius.
