Forgotten Stories Stats

Official changelog · 2026-09-10 UTC

The September 10 changelog lowers the upcasting damage increase from 30% to 20%. Read this with the older FAQ's definition of extra runes above a spell's base requirement: the old 30% damage figure is superseded. The FAQ's separate +1 buff-duration turn per extra rune was not changed in this post.

Do not apply the percentage to healing or multiply all equipment and affinity bonuses into a claimed final hit. The announcement does not establish rounding, a complete stacking formula or a new rune-slot limit. More rune slots still do not teach a spell.

The September 10 changelog changes affinity damage scaling from 2% to 1.5%. This is a damage-scaling correction, not an announcement of higher affinity caps or a new way to allocate skill points.

The brief post does not publish a complete final-damage equation or change the separately documented Physique and Runesight bonuses. Do not replace every percentage on the stat screen with 1.5% or infer a best build from this single value.

Racco's September 8 announcement adds Frenzy to Dagger. Landing seven hits with the weapon grants Frenzy +1; weapon hits through skills or Counter can count. The announced effect gives +0.5 Speed and +1 PEN. The September 13 Trello check now finds Frenzy on the Dagger card and a separate status card listing the same bonuses. This is documentation catching up, not a second new passive.

Seven hits does not mean seven turns or seven button presses. The statement does not publish a stack ceiling, duration, reset rule or the exact hit count of Assault. Do not claim one Assault guarantees Frenzy, that all dagger-named off-hands gain it, or that the effect restores permanent base weapon Speed. Use your displayed Speed in the existing tool; no live stacking test was performed.

The September 6 changelog removes weapon Speed gains and names Rapier, Dagger and Earthquaker Cestus as examples. Their current Trello cards, and Damned Claws, no longer list the old positive Speed line. Recheck your displayed Speed before relying on an extra turn; the official FAQ lists thresholds of 2, 3.5, 5.5 and 8.

Removal of positive weapon bonuses does not establish that negative Speed penalties vanished. Rapier's conditional Duelist Dance is a separate status: its current WIP card lists +0.4 Speed. Neither its stack cap nor duration is supplied there, so do not treat it as an always-on weapon bonus or promise a stack-based extra-turn loop.

The September 6 changelog reduces Unstoppable Wind's Speed bonus from +0.1 to +0.05, and the current Book card agrees. The card still lists +5% Wind damage and the Gustwalker spell. Writing costs 200 Ink Shards and signing costs 100 Ink; the unwritten requirement is 10 Wind Affinity and 10 Weapon Mastery, reduced to 7 and 7 when written.

The Book's passive Speed bonus is not the Gust Walker status bonus. Do not replace the status's separate +0.5 Speed with +0.05, or infer that its dodge rules changed from this Book correction. Weapon Mastery is the card's wording; it does not identify a required weapon family here.

The September 6 changelog increases Meditate's Mana gain from 3 to 4. This changes recovery planning, not the number of rune slots or the requirement to learn a spell. Reflections separately lists two extra Mana from Meditation with Vulnerable +2; Strong Minded separately grants Resilient +2 when meditating without existing stacks.

The announcement does not publish a new button, energy cost, cooldown or way to exceed Max Mana. The two Books keep their own unlock conditions and drawbacks. No combined recovery, stacking interaction or risk-free Meditation rotation was tested here.

Official changelog · 2026-09-05 UTC · edited 2026-09-06

The changelog says weapons with elemental damage increases now deal that element as a portion of their original damage. It gives 90% original damage plus 10% Earth as an example, says the elemental portion raises its affinity and triggers related effects, and separately says affinity damage now scales correctly with bonuses such as Earth or Fire damage.

The 90/10 split is an example, not a universal ratio for every weapon. No complete conversion or post-defense formula is published, so the stat tool does not invent a final damage calculator. Existing affinity caps still apply; gaining an unwanted affinity can affect a planned build.

+20 Max Health, +8% Physical Damage, +2 Max Stamina, +10% Elemental Damage, +2 Max Mana, +1 Rune Slot.

30/30 shared points used; each stat remains at or below 20.

+15 Max Health, +6% Physical Damage, +1 Max Stamina, +15% Elemental Damage, +3 Max Mana, +1 Rune Slot.

Balanced only as a cap example; no source calls it an optimal build.

+10 Max Health, +4% Physical Damage, +1 Max Stamina, +20% Elemental Damage, +4 Max Mana, +2 Rune Slots.

30/30 shared points used; weapon and element affinity use a different pool.

Keep their combined total at or below 35.

The general official cap is 35; the public Historian record is an exception.

These thresholds add one / two / three / four turns.

Values between breakpoints do not reach the next published extra-turn tier.
