Question about Stats
 

Ok, I understand the free-stat bonuses listed but don't free-stats also act as base stats? Like +1 int freestat would be 1 int the free-stat bonus of +1 dmg?

For instance, when I use rings, I don't get the freestat bonuses but i still get the int... would 21 int be the same as 20(+1) except 20(+1) gets a +1 mdmg bonus? so then it would be worthwhile to understand dmg mechanics based on stats rather than freestats because freestats would be integrally affected?

Yes... I think it is what you're talking about...

Well Free Stat box just shows the stats you have got from your stat points only (excluding your weapons/accessories etc). It also does not include the natural stat points that you get every time you level up.

Yea natural bonuses are not shown so you dont know how empowered you become when you level other than looking at the ur int or spr etc etc..
