I have been wondering about some of the mechanics of the game. As in how does high ATP reflect in the amount of damage you do and high DFP reflect in the amount of damage you take. Also what exactly does Luck do. Also whenvever you click on an item (on PSOWORLD) you get the discription in the discription it gives a range of numbers for the ATP what does the range mean since each weapon gives a set amount of atp to you character. The same with the sheilds and armor units.

OK, well here we go:

Luck effects your Critical Hit chances (I don't remember the exact numbers) But nothing more.

And just as it sounds, higher ATP creates higher damage and higher DEF creates less damage (again, I know no numbers, search the site though, you might find something)

And those item descriptions (for Weapons) show the different ATP that can be accumulated by using Grinders (mono, di, tri) on the weapon, thus increasing it's ATP. Be aware that all weapons have Grinder limits.

And things like Armor and Shields have variable amounts of DEF and EVP they can give making all of them not exactly the same.

I'm sure someone will just bring up a link saying what I just said in more understandable terms.

Some weapons have Variable ATP, hence the range of numbers. The actual ATP will be in that range. If you want to know more about it, you'd best use Forum Search.
There's also a Damage Calculator. It doesn't tell you the formula, but you might still find it interesting.

Well, for variable ATP, VulpesMundi made an awesome guide on the subject:

Browsing the Guides section usually brings a lot of answers.

Your damage to monster:
(Your ATP - Enemy DFP) / 5 * 0.9 = Weak Attack
Weak * 1.89 = Heavy
Weak * 3.32 = Sacrificial
Weak * 5.56 = Vjaya
Remember your weapon's ATP, percents, Shifta, Zalure, etc.

Moster damage to you:
(Monster ATP - Your DFP) / 5
Include Jellen in the monster ATP, and Deband/frame/barrier in your DFP.

Tech Damage:
((MST + Tech Power) / 5 * (1.0 + Class bonus + Weapon bonus + Merge bonus)) * ((100 - Resistance)/100)

Accuracy:

Evade:
lol, why bother?

Luck:
Estimated as LCK/4 or LCK/5 = chance of critical hit. No one knows which it is for sure.

Most of those values can be looked up in the PSOW bestiary, or techs sections.

Have fun.
