Xenon

The End to all of the quotWhich is Better for Xenonquot Threads

As you all know, Xenon uses 3 main stats: Strength(STR) Dexterity(DEX) and Luck (LUK).
STR DEX and LUK all give the same range boost as each other. LUK does not give more then STR or DEX and vice-versa.
If you are wondering if, for example, a 9%str, 6%dex item is better then a 6%AllStats item, simply add up the 9% and 6% to 15% (Since Xenon benefits from both the STR and DEX bonus) and divide it by 3(For Xenon's 3 Main Stats), and that will let you know which is better. So in this case, the 6% All Stats item will be better.
This is assuming you will be using the standard build of 333 to STR, DEX and LUK at level 200.

Another Example:
A Hat with 9%Luk, 6%Str, 6% Dex compared to a Hat with 9%AllStats.

9+6+6=21
21/3=7.

7 is not greater then 9, so the 9% AllStats would be better in this situation.

Other things to know:
1% STR/DEX/LUK is equivalent to 0.33 of a %AllStats item to a Xenon.

they are all the same but technically since xenon is a thief and pirate, u will be most likely using them and since thief uses luk and dex and pirates use str and dex, dex overlaps most of the time so dex will eventually be potentially the best.

to make things easier, you just divide any stats not all stat by 3 to convert it to all stat. so 9%str can be read as 3% all stat.

I'm going to go with 2str 2luk 1dex for my AP, unless Xenon also gets 6 AP per level like Cygnus Knights, then 2 to all

I'm pretty sure it isn't divided like that

Edit: never mind I see what you were saying now

All information is correct, however Luk is slightly more beneficial to Xenon then Str or dex. Since it raises your avoid rate more and more avoid = faster surplus increase.

I'm not sure why people call it common sense when nobody actually knows it (for some reason).

You'd be surprised how many threads looking for this come popping up.. I don't get how people don't understand.

[quote=Pheil]That's kinda correct but remember Xenon does not have exactly 333 ap for each so it is not all divided by 3[/quote]

This point is brought up often in almost every xenon thread. That doesn't matter when you're comparing to your own xenon. If someone is trying to properly gear their xenon they will divide their AP evenly into three meaning that 9% of a single stat will still be 3% of all their total stats since the three bases will be even. 9% of 345 is still 3% of (345x3).

It should be noted that individual results may vary based on your individual xenons gearing. Some people will use thief gears that add 30 luk and 15 dex but no str. Well then your str will be lacking when the % on your gear is applied. This is a generalized guide for people evenly distributing stats as best as they can.
