CON

[Silvador]

OK, this might seem like a dumb question, but what exactly is CON in the player stats and what does it do?

My initial instinct is to think "constitution" which in games usually affects the amount of health a player character has. But... I haven't really noticed the number of HP I have go up or down when I equip/de-equip things with con stats.

Does it do something else, or does it just take a lot of stats to actually affect HP amounts?

CON adds to your total DEF stat via a calculation.

[Silvador]

OK.

Now begs the question... which stat is more important, DEF or CON?

Obviously someone will argue -both- but... and I know I'm going to regret asking this because I'm terribad at all this algorithm BS, how does one stat affect the other?

If I have 30 DEF and only 10 CON, how do I know if I should forgo something that adds another 5 DEF over something that adds, say, 5 or 10 CON? And how much of a difference is there between someone with 30D/10C and 30D/30C? Or what is I have only 15DEF and 30CON?

I believe that if all you care is resilience, DEF is the stat you should look at. For instance, ome piece of equipment might add +5 flat to DEF, while another might add +5 to your CON resulting in, I don't know, +3 DEF

I don't know the algorithm, mind you, but if an increase in CON results in an increase in DEF, you should only look at the final stat
