Keeper's of The Moon Vs Keeper's of The Sun

[LeslieS]

Hey all,
Currently my main and will probably be my main focus throughout the game is Paladin, but I realized I chose Keepers of the Moon, when I used my first Vial from a Lala, which stats lack the starting VIT and STR of Keepers of the Sun, I was curious to if the stats balance out at level 50 or should I use my Vial of Phantasia to change to Keeper of The Sun to get a significant boost of VIT and STR.

The stat difference will still be there at lvl 50, however, it's not a huge difference though.
Unless you strongly feel the need of being "the very best" then I wouldn't bother with it.

The stats difference between the two is at 4 by most.
4 stats point is equivalent to level 15-17 chest gear, but a piece of level 50 chest gear gives nearly 25-30 points of stats, making that measly 4 insignificant at best.
Unless you're min-max player (or a gatherer that must have the necessary stat to trigger gather bonus), race doesnt matter past level 20.

Thanks guys that clarifies everything! Thanks.

The necro phantom strikes again.

Also...race attributes were a thing back then? I imagine Lala tanks and Roe white mages were quite the shock if attributes by race mattered that much in the early days

Yeah, I remember building my Paladin around highlander at the time, since I wanted to reach certain STR threshold for blocking purposes. These bonuses were diminished overtime, as the ilvl increased. Nowdays, unless you're a min-maxer, it really doesn't matter. The highest difference in stats from race to race is 6 points (Min 17 max 23).

Ooooh. That...really sucks. Do a lot of MMOs do that with race? I'm guessing gender has slightly different starter stats as well?

[Dualgunner]

No genders are the same stats last I checked ^_^

[Burningskull]

I feel like race stats is another feature they should get rid of like they did for elemental resist and just give every race the same basic stats. That way you can go on aesthetics more. Cause even tho I know it doesn't matter, in the back of my mind it still bugs me that Xelea (?sp?) have a lot more STR than Reign (?sp?)

This is correct.

Some MMOs go even further and they lock classes behind certain races. For instance, in WoW, you can't be a Paladin if you play Orc. But they also add racial traits, which is a nice thing sometimes. I do however prefer how they designed it here, since I can pick whatever race I want to play whatever job I like.
