ASPD

Attack Speed is abbreviated as ASPD. It depends on the player's class, equipped Weapon Type, Speed Modifiers, AGI and DEX.

Factors affecting Attack Speed

• The player's class.
• The player's weapon type.
• increase AGI to gain higher attack speed. (DEX provides negligible attack speed increases)
• Wearing a shield decreases attack speed. The difference varies by class and is more dramatic at higher base attack speeds.
• Some items, skills and equipments can increase or decrease attack speed.

ASPD Formula (0-193)

ASPD calculator

ASPD Tables (xls)

Each class has a base ASPD (146 or 156) which is affected by the weapon (-50 to +2). Equipping a shield reduce ASPD by 5 to 10.

ASPD penalty = 1 - ( Job Base Aspd - 144)/50

Note : Limit down to a maximum of 0.96. Keep 2 decimals.

ASPD Correction = (√(205)-√(AGI))/7.15

Note: Round up to 3 decimals

Base Aspd = 200-(200-(Job Base Aspd + shield penalty - ASPD Correction + √(AGI * 9.999 + DEX * 0.19212) * Aspd penalty)) *(1 - ASPD Potion_% - ASPD Skill %)

Note: Round down to 2 decimal

(% ASPD Equipment) = (195 - Base Aspd) * total of ASPD Equipment %

Note: Round down to 1 decimal

Final ASPD = Base Aspd + (% ASPD Equipment) + fixed ASPD increase equipment
