When any stat gets higher than 9, you get additional benefits. Regarding stats, you get the most from each invested point up to 5, so it may be a good idea to get all stats to 5 at early game. Originally posted by Phexxer:>I don't have fire weapons.Maeve has fire arrows skill that is helpful at first levels. Skill power gets 2-3% per 1 point until 30 but only 1% per point from 30-49 and the last point gives 6%. There's a big burst in the last point (49 -> 50) so it can be beneficial to get at least 1 stat to 50, i.e putting points into mastery after 10, gives you 0,1 mana regen per 1 point, after 30 mastery it takes 2-3 point to get that 0,1 increase (alternates) but the last point from 49 to 50 gives you +0,3 mana regen. You can only put 30 points max to each stat and the remaining 20 points have to come from items/fountains/scrolls.
I'd say around 15-20 is enough for the early levels, 30 is soft cap for every stat, meaning after that each point gives only a small increase in corresponding stats (mana reg, hp reg, damage, attack speed etc), 50 being max for each stat. There's a icon/button named dismantle in your inventory screen right next to your equipped items/above jewelry tab of inventory - you click that and then the item you want to destroy and you get some crystals back, green from green items, blue from blue and purple for purple, usually 1/3 of the crafting cost, so if crafting a green item tier 1 cost 3 green crystal, dismantling a green tier 1 item usually gives you 1 green crystal.
