[Help] CC Profession pick: permanent Stat increases limited in #?

[Schutzengel]

Hello all,

trying to figure out which profession to pick during CC and generally how the game handles permanent Stat increase from the bonuses from CC.

The wiki doesnt list these permanent Stat increase items you get from picking a profession and the explanation on permanent Stat increases in the wiki didnt make any sense to me.

I know Food items also give boosts, but dont mean these. I only specifically mean those items that arent listed in the wiki:
- Farmer ... -
- Orchard Farmer ... -
- Rancher ... -
- Explorer ... 5x "Bonus Movement Speed"
- Spellcaster ... 8x "Bonus Mana", 3x "Bonus Spell Damage"
- Duelist ... 8x "Bonus Health", 3x "Bonus Attack Damage"
- Tool Master ... -
- Angler ... -
- Royalty ... -

Meaning: Does playing as an Explorer give me a permanent edge over all other characters since I have +5x "Bonus Movement Speed" ON TOP OF what other characters get from their Profession and from Food Items?

OR ...

I can get "Bonus Movement Speed" in-game an unlimited amount of times, however, the bonus is capped and playing as an Explorer only allows me to reach that cap earlier than other characters with different Professions.

Sincerely.

Stat bonuses are additive. So if you have a value of 100, and you get a skill that gives you +10%, then you later get a skill that gives you +20%, they add to 30%, giving you a value of 130.

This wasnt my question.

Are the permanent stat-boosting Profession items from CC unique in that you cant get them in-game and are locked out of these permanent bonuses if you dont pick profession "X"?

Meaning:

- Explorer: 100% + regular permanent Movement Speed + 5x "Bonus Movement Speed"
- non-Explorer: 100% + regular permanent Movement Speed
(= permanently less Movement Speed than Explorer)

- Spellcaster: 100% + regular permanent Mana / Spell Damage + 8x "Bonus Mana" + 3x "Bonus Spell Damage"
- non-Spellcaster: 100% + regular permanent Mana / Spell Damage
(= permanently less Mana / Spell Damage than Spellcaster)

- Duelist: 100% + regular permanent Health / Attack Damage + 8x "Bonus Health" + 3x "Bonus Attack Damage"
- non-Duelist: 100% + regular permanent Health / Attack Damage
(= permanently less Health / Attack Damage than Duelist)

OR ...

You can get an unlimited number of these aforementioned items in-game until you eventually hit a stat cap and the Profession you pick at CC only allows you to hit that cap earlier.

.

Its either the former or the latter and I want to know before I start the game and permanently screw over my character for good. Id like to pick a Profession that suits my playstyle, but if these "Bonus Movement Speed" and stuff make my character permanently faster than if I didnt pick these Professions than its only logical to pick those Professions instead.

I think the game would have to be datamined for that, and I don't have the answer directly sorry.

I chose basing my choice off the assumption that it would be a permanent boost, so any class that did not give such a boost, such as only giving seeds, money, or a crafting station, I saw as a temporary boost.

So for that reason I picked Explorer.

[MewTressym]

There are items in game that you can use infinitely it seems to raise a stat, so, it's possible that you may be able to reach stat cap using those. Once I hit speed cap I'll comment again. ^^

[MewTressym]

That said, the elixirs that do give perm speed boost are extremely expensive and comparitively speaking even if the boosts you get are only temporary and even out at end game, getting the speed boost is still almost certainly the most optimal choice. Money/seeds/crafting benches are fairly easy to get even early game.

[Schutzengel]

Thank you for those insights. I'll play Explorer to be on the safe side.

There are various items that also give direct stat boosts regardless of # consumed, unlike food, but getting them is tricky. So picking one of the stat boost choices is a good idea in general. You can get there eventually, but it will take longer. Oddly the crown is actually the only other thing to truly consider. It has no stats, but it's also unique, if you want it you have to choose royalty. Though obviously if you don't ignore it entirely.
