Agility

Abbreviation: AGI

Effects of Agility

Agility is used to calculate evasion and ranged attack accuracy and critical hit rate.

• Every 2 points of agility raises evasion by 1.
• 75% of a player's Agility is added to a player's Ranged Accuracy stat.
• Player to target Agility difference is used to modify the critical hit rate of ranged attacks.
• Critical hit rate against a target is reduced the more Agility the target has vs the player's Dexterity.

Agility decreases the amount of TP dealt to targets. The cap on this is reported to be 50%, applied separately from Subtle Blow's effect.

Trick Attack gains a damage bonus based on Agility when the player's main job is set to Thief.

Quick Draw's accuracy gains a bonus based on player Agility.

Aligned with the element of Wind. Many wind-based items add AGI to a Player's Stats. Example: Garuda's Dagger. The success of a Puppetmaster's Wind Maneuver is linked to AGI.
