Fact Gathering


Extensive testing is still required, as most of the effects of adaptability are still untested and are difficult to discern.

Agility


In-Game Description


Boosts ease of evasion and other actions.

Function


Leveling up Adaptability is the primary way to raise Agility. Attunement also provides, albeit smaller, increases to your Agility stat.

Calculating Agility


Agility is calculated as follows:
When Attunement plus 3 * Adaptability is less than or equal to 120, Agility is equal to 80 + ((Attunement + (3 * Adaptability)) / 4)
When Attunement plus 3 * Adaptability is greater than 120, Agility is equal to 110 + ((Attunement + (3 * Adaptability) - 120) / 28)

Item Restores Other Effects
Crown of the Old Iron King 20% (rounded up) every 2 minutes (with or without Vendrick's Blessing)

Note: Saint's Hood, Hexer's Hood and Northern Ritual Band all work in the same way. Spell uses are being multiplied by 1.1 (1.2/1.3 for the +1/+2 versions of the ring respectively) and then rounded up. For example, having a spell with only one use, the number will increase from 1 to 1.1, then be rounded up to 2, resulting in two spell uses.

If you combine one of the hoods with the Northern Ritual Band, the spell use percentage will stack additively (10% + 10% = 20%, or 30%/40% for the +1/+2 versions of the ring). This means that, upon using both the standard version of the ring and one of the hoods, a spell with one use will increase its number from 1 to 1.2, then be rounded up to 2, resulting in two spell uses. However, using both on a spell with six uses, it will increase from 6 to 7.2, then be rounded up to 8, resulting in eight spell uses.

Spell Casts


Depending on the spell, it may start with 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, or 30 casts at base Attunement.
The table below shows how many casts become available with increased Attunement ("-" is used to indicate no increase from previous cast amount).

Interaction with Adaptability


Raising the lower of these two stats will result in natural Poise increase. For example, if you have 10 Adaptability plus 10 Endurance, adding 1 point to Endurance will not increase your Natural Poise. On the other hand, if you have 11 points of Adaptability plus 10 points of Endurance, adding 1 more point to Endurance will increase your Poise.

At 1 Endurance plus Adaptability, you will have 0.3 Natural Poise. Natural Poise seems to have two soft caps- one at 30 END+ADP, and another at 50 END+ADP.

HP


Description

New Player Info


Health doesn't naturally regenerate in Dark Souls 2. Health is generally restored by the use of items, such as the Estus Flask. Health regeneration is also granted by some equipment and spells.

You may have noticed that, after dying a few times, portions of your maximum health bar begin to become inaccessible to you. This will continue each time you die until half of your maximum health is locked. You may use a Human Effigy from your inventory to restore your health bar to its maximum size. In addition, there is an item that decreases the total percentage of your health bar that can become locked to 25%, rather than 50% (Ring of Binding).

Fulfilling your duties as a summoned phantom will also restore your humanity, and therefore your health bar.

Item Discovery

Description


Item Discovery, also known as Luck or Item Find is an invisible stat used by Dark Souls 2 to determine the drop rate of items. The higher the player's item discovery is, the more likely they are to receive rare drops upon killing enemies.

It doesn't affect chests and the like or the items received from Dyna and Tillo.

Increasing Item Discovery


The Covetous Gold Serpent Ring will increase item discovery by:

Name Use
Covetous Gold Serpent Ring Increases item discovery by 50%
Covetous Gold Serpent Ring +1 Increases item discovery by 75%
Covetous Gold Serpent Ring +2 Increases item discovery by 100%

There are also several pieces of equipment that increase item discovery:

In addition, item discovery may be increased temporarily for five minutes by consuming a Rusted Coin. The effect of multiple coins doesn't stack.

Note: With the cummulative leveling cost it is possible to estimate the level range you encounter online, e.g.: A character at level 150 with a soul memory of 2.4 million and 200.000 soul on hand lost or spend round about 650.000 soul on merchants. At current tier 34 (less than 2.5 millon souls) the maximum level of a red invader is round about 170-180.

In-Game Description


Attribute required to wield heavy, powerful weapons. Also boosts attack.

Strength Requirements


Equipments listed here are only the ones that needs more than 3 points of Strength, because the lowest Strength you can get is 3 (by choosing Sorcerer as a starting class). Remember that this list is only the Strength requirement for one-handing an equipment, so you can also two-hand it to wield with lower Strength.

Bows and Greatbows are always used in two hands, and so they have been listed with half the Strength requirement.

Notes


Vitality


In-Game Description


An attribute that determines your maximum equipment load.

Use


The primary effect of Vitality is to increase your Equipment Load. A high value for Equipment Load will allow you to move quickly while using heavy weapons and armors.

The HP granted by Vigor will provide more survivability than Vitality when you are using non-upgraded armors, but Vitality becomes a lot more valuable when you have access to fully upgraded heavy armors. In addition to increasing your ability to survive hits, heavy armor also provides Poise.
