RF Online Game Features - PT System

Combat PT or Combat Proficiency System

Each RF Online character has 3 major stats categories – combat PT, skill PT, and level. In RF Online, Levels do not really have a major effect on how strong a character is, perhaps, it only raises HP, FP, SP and PT to maximum. Combat PT governs just how strong a character is, and is broken down into 4 to 6 areas depending on your race.

Every character has four standard combat PTs - Short Range, Long Range, Shield, and Defense. The Accretians have one additional combat PT, which is Launcher. Bellato has their two additional combat PTs, which are Force and Unit, and Cora has Force and Summoning as their unique combat PTs. Whenever you perform an action, the corresponding PT rises. For example, if you hit an enemy or a monster with a knife, your short range PT will go up.

Depending on a character's level and class, their combat PTs are capped at a certain point. As the character advances in level, their PT caps also rise, allowing them to become stronger and stronger. Unlike other MMORPGs, it is important that players do not rush through levels - they should keep their various combat PTs close to their caps whenever possible. Remember, levels do not directly affect how strong a character is - levels only raise PT caps. If a character levels too quickly without raising their appropriate PTs, they will find it extremely difficult to raise those PTs at a later time, at worst maybe even impossible.
