Increasing & Decreasing Attributes

Permanent Increases

There are a few ways in which a character's attributes can be increased permanently. Here, permanent means that they do not revert to normal after a given amount of time.

• Allocating your Chi Points (Note: This increases your base attributes, the attributes needed to equip weapons)
• Successfully consuming an Elixir (Note: This increase can be negated when a elixir consumption fails)
• Equipping a weapon that increases your attributes.
• Equipping a relic that increases your attributes.

Temporary Increases

There are a small number of ways in which a character's attributes can be increased for a limited time.

• Receive a the Hermit's Cavity Press
• Receive a buff from a healer 
• Consume an item that increases your attributes.
• Decreasing Attributes
• Attributes can be decreased in the same ways in which they can be increased.

Secondary Attributes /Stats

Secondary Attributes are character attributes that cannot be directly controlled by allocating points.

Instead, these attributes are functions of the primary attributes and the character's equipment, selected skills, currently active buffs and epithet.
