Slots and stat limits

After the first transfer, two symbol slots are available. After the second, three are available and earlier ordinary-dye symbols stop working; use Greater Dyes. Symbol increases for one stat are capped at +5 in total. Reductions can exceed five points but cannot reduce the stat to zero.

Allowed combinations

Class restrictions apply. All classes can use STR/DEX/CON combinations. Healers and buffers such as Bishop, Elven Elder, Shillien Elder, Prophet, Overlord and Warcryer use MEN/WIT for mental-stat symbols; they cannot simply lower INT to raise WIT. Check eligibility before buying dyes.

Applying and removing

Take ten identical dyes to a Symbol Maker and pay the fee. Removal returns five dyes and also costs a fee.

Do not use an old stat rule indiscriminately

C5 moved poison resistance from MEN to CON, and resistance to magical abnormal effects from WIT to MEN. The reviewed passage does not name bleeding. These specific changes do not establish a complete stat model or a numeric resistance formula.

Plan the total change before buying dyes

Add the increases from all planned symbols for each individual stat. Two increases of +4 and +1 already reach the +5 total cap for that stat. Another positive symbol cannot be assumed to add its full value beyond that cap. Also account for every negative stat change: paying for an eligible dye does not mean its tradeoff suits your class or equipment.
