ASPD
What is ASPD?
ASPD is Attack Speed. It depends on the player's class, equipped Weapon Type, Speed Modifiers, AGI and DEX.
ASPD Formula
Weapon Delay (WD) = 500 * BTBA
Amotion = (WD - Floor(WD * (AGI * 4 + DEX) / 1000)) * ( 1 - ASPD Modifiers)
Adelay = Amotion * 2
ASPD =((2000 - Amotion)/10)
- BTBA : See table below.
- Adelay : The delay between attacks in milliseconds.
- This means if Adelay is 200, 200miliseconds will past between attacks, getting to 5 attacks per second (190 ASPD).
- Adelay's minimum value is 200 (100 for Amotion).
- ASPD Modifiers : See below.
BTBA (Base Time Between Attacks (seconds))
BTBA for Dual Wielding (Assassin)
BTBA = 0.7*(BTBA1+BTBA2)

Speed Modifiers stacks by adding up all.
Hits per Second
Hits/Second = 1/TBA = 50/Delay = 50/(200-ASPD)
TBA : Time Between Attacks (seconds)
ASPD represents attack speed as a hyperbolic function (different from exponential function) that approaches infinity attacks/second as ASPD gets close to 200.
Due to the nature of how ASPD affects hits per second, if one is
investing into AGI for ASPD, it should be heavily or not at all.
Notes
[Haru's Explanation on ASPD]
First, ASPD doesn't exist. What the server actually uses is called
'amotion' (which is a delay between subsequent attacks). Here's the
relevant part of code that puts agi and dex in the 'amotion'
calculation:
amotion = (sd->weapontype < MAX_SINGLE_WEAPON_TYPE)
? (status->dbs->aspd_base[pc->class2idx(sd->status.class)][sd->weapontype]) // single weapon
: (status->dbs->aspd_base[pc->class2idx(sd->status.class)][sd->weapontype1] +
status->dbs->aspd_base[pc->class2idx(sd->status.class)][sd->weapontype2]) * 7 / 10; // dual-wield
percentual delay reduction from stats
amotion -= amotion * (4 * st->agi + st->dex) / 1000;
The initial amotion value, before the agi/dex modifiers is straight from the tables you can see https://github.com/HerculesWS/Hercules/blob/stable/db/pre-re/job_db.conf here (dependent on job and weapon type) the part that can potentially make some points in agi or dex not have any effect is the / 1000 division (because that division is rounded down) Haru, Developer
