Evasion

Evasion

Stat that is compared to an enemy attacker's accuracy to determine the chance that a character has of avoiding an attack. See Hit Rate for details.

Evasion is directly affected by a character's evasion skill and AGI. For every two points of AGI a character has, their evasion is raised by one point. See Check for details on how to interpret high evasion and low evasion check messages.

Evasion Skill

A character's natural evasion skill gained via actual combat experience. Different jobs have different evasion potentials.

Evasion Skill Up Monsters & Locations

• Robber Crabs in Kuftal Tunnel.
• Colibri in Bhaflau Thickets. You can use Hide on them when your HP is low instead of zoning.
• Sand Cockatrice in Cape Teriggan. These are dangerous mobs to fight, however, you can use Hide on them and they have double attack, thus allowing for more skill up chances.
• Steelshells on the second floor of The Boyahda Tree. Plentiful and safe. Aggro them near the Cloister of Storms and zone at low HP.
• Pucks in the Den of Rancor. They are pretty much the same as Korrigans.
• Korrigans on the second floor of The Boyahda Tree. More dangerous than Steelshells, but are Monk class and attack more often, thus allowing for more skill up chances.
• Greater Colibri in Bhaflau Thickets. Same as regular Colibri, just higher level.
• High level Notorious Monsters, certain monsters in Assaults, Nyzul Isle, Besieged and other end game activities can provide plentiful skill ups. Just pull aggro and try not to die!
