<font size="2">The first part of the compilation contains effects which can be a bit cryptic since they have no explanation in Lucy. They are not in the spell database and thus cannot be analyzed the same way as focus effects and spells can. They each have their own mechanics and differ from focuses in the way they stack.<br /><br /> Also you should pay extra attention to the fact that both AC and Attack have two different parts that have to do with hit chance vs damage. See section about AC, Attack and Damage below for an explanation on some terms used in this part.<br /><br /></font>'''<font size="2">Accuracy - </font>'''<font size="2">Improved chance to hit. This adds to the "hit chance" part of your Attack. 15 accuracy would equal to 1% more landed hits on the mob. According to the Safehouse, the cap is at 150 (wich there is no reason to doubt since the information is said to have come from a dev). See below for information on Attack and Accuracy.<br /><br /></font>'''<font size="2">Attack - </font>'''<font size="2">This used to be called Vengeance wich no longer exists, it's now just "+X attack". 10 attack = around 1% more dps. The +Attack stats on items add to the "Power" part of the whole Attack rating. Caps at 250.

I name the following entries "spell effects" because their effects are listed in Lucy's spell database. These are in fact focus effects for melee. This also applies to Instrument modifiers and skill modifiers like Alteration and Tradeskills (for example). None of these effects stack, and the highest one always is the only one that takes effect. | I name the following entries "spell effects" because their effects are listed in Lucy's spell database.

There are numerous items that modify different skills this way, for instance the Shaman PoTime BP has a Skill Mod: Specialize Alteration +8%. See Fandele Longtooth's note on lock picking and stacking below.</font> | There are numerous items that modify different skills this way, for instance the Shaman PoTime BP has a Skill Mod: Specialize Alteration +8%.

'''Haste''' | |||
Haste is the original Melee Focus, and has been in the game since day 1. Haste basically consists of 3 parts. There are a few exceptions to this, but to put it simply Haste is made up from '''Worn Haste + Haste Spells/Songs + overcap bardsongs'''. | Haste is the original Melee Focus, and has been in the game since day 1.

<font size="2">Hundred Hands can also be considered as a form of haste. It substracts a percentage of the weapon delay from the current hasted weapon delay. So if you have the max 125% haste you're effect delay is D/2.25. With 10 HH it becomes D/2.25 - 0.1*D (equivalent to 190% haste).</font> | <font size="2">Hundred Hands can also be considered as a form of haste.
