Stat Conversions question

[Panthera]

I don't understand how my level nine head piece is +5 evasion, but my level thirty body piece is +1 agi and +1 Dex?

This is not the only example of this. The Empress Hairpin is LV 24, and has more agi, dex and Evasion than other pieces of equipment much higher in level. Sometimes lower level equipment is better than higher level equipment. That's just how FFXI is.

Chr is... curing power for DNC, how long charm lasts, and has something to do with bards, how long their songs last maybe?

Actually CHR does not effect bard buff song duration, but it does have some effect on bard *debuff* songs, in terms of magic accuracy.

That's the simple version, anyway. Players can actually go pretty in-depth in terms of how the mathematics involved, explaining *exactly* how the stats effects gameplay, but knowing this much is a good start.

MND also effects the potency of certain white magic debuffs, namely Slow and Paralyze.
