Determining the “best” starting race for Physical and Magical classes.
If you’re somewhat unsure of what exact advanced job you want to be, but want to generally chase either the physical or magical stats, this chart can help you choose your race.
Here we can make a few assumptions.
Highest overall physical racial stats: Hyur Highlanders (65). Followed by Sea Wolves tied with Seekers (63).
Highest overall magical racial stats: Lalafell Dunefolk (66). Followed by Keepers (64), then Hellsguard and Plainsfolk (62) tied at third.
The safest most versatile picks with the least variance (No stat with +3/-3) are Midlanders (60-60), Duskwights (59-61), followed by Plainsfolk and Hellsguard (58-62). These are the best choices if you feel you need a mix of both PHYS and MAG stats. Not coincidentally, these are probably the best races for Hybrid characters (Paladin?)
Wildwood is the safest archer pick (Dex+3), followed by Seekers and Plainsfolk (Dex+2)
Highest Single Stat Available
If you’re chasing a single stat, here’s the Highest stats amongst the races.
STR: Highlander
DEX: Wildwood
VIT: Sea Wolves
INT: Duskwight
MND: Keepers
PIE: Dunefolk
Maximizing Two Stats
The more understanding we have of the classes, the more we know how beneficial each stat is to each one. If for example we find that Paladins benefit greatly from VIT+PIETY, what race would we choose for that? Note: We can only make the most out of this once we have a better understanding of the stats.
