How much ffxi gold you can carry?

Strength determines how much ffxi gold you can carry. It influences maximum and average damage and how quickly you learn many offensive skills.
As a melee class, you really want to have a good amount of points in this stat, especially since you will be wearing heavy plate amours as your character increases in wealth and power.
However, this statistic is very easy to rise in game through items and spells. Whilst innate strength is nice to have, more hit-points might be more useful at the high end. Stamina is normally a better investment than Strength in the long term.
Stamina: Stamina affects how many hit points you have, and how long you can hold your breath. It is a very important statistic for Shadow Knights as they are often secondary tanks. Furthermore, it is the hardest statistic to rise through items. We would recommend putting a majority of your starting points into this.
