Perk

Overview

A Perk is an effect that gives the character a boost to gameplay in Vesteria. Perks are usually gained by spending stat points or equipping certain Equipment.

Equipment Perks can be viewed by reading the description of the Equipment. For Stat Perks, please visit Stats.

Unlike standard RPGs, Vesteria doesn't have multitudes of weapons with different attack powers. Instead, most of the weapons in Vesteria do not have huge differences in base power, but have Perks that make them unique from other weapons. This makes Perks play a important role in choosing a endgame weapon as differences in base power are minimal compared to what the perks offer.

Sometimes, higher attack power doesn't make the weapon better. Take the Webbed Staff for example: While only having 101 attack power, it contains a Perk, Venom Bomb, which allows Mana Bomb to leave venom puddles that deal rapid tick DoT with decent damage. Combining this with Multi Mana Bomb can drastically increase the damage capabilities. When compared with something with 1.5 times its attack power, such as the Astrologist's Scepter, the Webbed Staff is still superior in terms of DPS due to its Perk.
