Attributes
Attributes determine your character's statistics in combat, gathering, and crafting. Different races start off with different base attributes.
Strength
Strength is the primary damage dealing stat for melee jobs; Dragoon, Monk, Warrior, Paladin, Dark Knight. Higher strength equals higher Attack Power for these melee classes. Strength also increases the amount of damage you mitigate when you block or parry an enemy attack.
Dexterity
Dexterity is the primary damage dealing stat for Bard, Ninja, and Machinist. Dexterity also increases the rate of your block and parry. The higher your dexterity is, the more likely you are to block or parry an enemy attack.
Vitality
Vitality is the primary defensive stat for tanking classes and jobs such as gladiator and marauder. Higher vitality equals higher HP. As of Patch 3.2, vitality is used in the calculation of Attack Power for tank jobs.
Intelligence
Intelligence is the primary offensive stat for spell casting classes and jobs such as Black Mage, Summoner, and Red Mage. Higher intelligence corresponds to higher Attack Magic Potency and more magic damage your spells will do.
Mind
Mind is the primary stat for healers such as White Mage, Scholar, and Astrologian. Higher Mind means higher Healing Magic Potency and more healing your spells will do. In the upcoming expansion (4.0 Stormblood) higher Mind will mean higher Attack Magic Potency and more damage a healer's spells will do.
Points
HP
HP are your health points. As you take damage, your HP will decrease. You die when your HP reach 0. After you die, you must be resurrected by raise or return to your Home Point.
MP
MP, or magic points, are required to cast spells. If the MP cost of a spell is greater than your remaining MP, you cannot cast that spell. MP slowly regenerates over time in and out of combat. MP can be regenerated by using items such as [Ether]s, or with abilities that grant [Refresh].
TP
TP, or tactical points, are required to use weaponskills and the ability sprint. If the TP cost of a weaponskill is greater than your remaining TP, you cannot use that weaponskill. TP slowly regenerates over time in and out of combat.
CP
CP, or crafting points, are required to use some of your crafting actions. When you have a crafting class equipped, CP bar replaces your MP bar. CP regenerates to full after you complete a craft, but does not regenerate during crafting actions.
GP
GP, or gathering points, are required to use some of your gathering actions. While you have a gathering class equipped, GP bar replaces your MP bar. GP slowly regenerates when outside of gathering actions, but does not regenerate during gathering actions.
