Agility

From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia

Abbreviation: AGI

A stat that is compared with an attacker's dexterity to determine the likelihood that the enemy's blow will be a critical.

• The higher a defender's AGI, the less likely they are to have critical hits scored against them.

Agility also has a direct impact on a character's evasion and ranged accuracy stats, and is speculated to have an impact on shield, Guard, parrying stats.

In addition, Agility plays a significant role in determining the damage caused by Trick Attack when used by a Thief.

Associated with the element of Wind. Many wind-based items add AGI to a Player's Stats. Example: Garuda's Dagger

Agility determines the accuracy of a Corsair's Quick Draw.
