Hit Rate

Hit Rate or effective accuracy is the ratio of number of attack landed on opponent to the total number of attack attempted in the long run.

Hit-rate = total attack landed / total attack attempted

Relation to accuracy and evasion

• When attacker's total accuracy is the same as the defender's total evasion, then the expected hit-rate is 75%

if Accuracy == Evasion → Hit-rate = 75%

• For every 1 increment of attacker's accuracy, attacker's expected hit-rate is raised by 0.5%

Example:

Lv33 character fighting an Even Match monster whose evasion is the same as character's total accuracy without enhancements

Hit rate = 75%

Once the character uses an item such as a Peacock Charm (accuracy+10), then the expected hit-rate will be:

Hit rate = 75% + 10 * 0.5% = 80%

Level Correction

• When defender has higher level than attacker, then attacker is imposed 4 accuracy penalty for every 1 level difference

Example:

• Lv75 character hitting Lv85 monster, where the lv75 character has the same amount of accuracy as Lv85 monster.

Level difference = 10

Accuracy Penalty = 4 acc/level * 10 level = 40 accuracy

Hit-rate = 75% + (-40) * 0.5% = 55%

• When a Player Character attacks a lower level monster, the attacker gains a 4 accuracy bonus per level difference.

Example:

• Lv75 character with 375 accuracy fighting a Lv70 monster with 365 Evasion

Level difference = 5

Accuracy adjustment = 4 acc/level * 5 level = 20 accuracy

New player acc = 395 → Player acc - mob evasion = 30

Hit rate = 75% + 30*0.5% = 90% hit rate

• Summed Up:

Hit Rate = 75% + (Accuracy - Evasion) x 0.5% + (Attackers Level - Defenders Level) x 2

Hit Rate = 75% + 0.5% x ((Accuracy - Evasion) + ((Attackers Level - Defenders Level) x 4))

Note

• Your Hit Rate cannot drop below 20% nor can it be raised beyond 95%, so adjusting accuracy above or below these limits will not have an effect on your Hit Rate. These limits also apply to a monster's accuracy as well.
