Any questions I have, I'll post 'em here.

[Dann Woolf]

I'm going to ask any and all questions I have in this topic. Apologies in advance if I ask too many questions or annoy people, but if you never ask you'll never learn

I'm having trouble figuring out what effect all the stats have in battle.

Would someone mind explaining how each stat works? Is there an article or something about this?

Also: how do you set up an weapon so you can't sell it?

Knock out: You're dead

Stun: You're stunned, cant move for a turn

Venom: You're poisoned, health depletes gradually while in that state

Dazzle: Your hit rate drops

Mute: Cant use magic

Confuse: You only hit allies

Sleep: You're stunned.. or asleep.. same thing but you can be awakened easier by a physical attack.. sometimes.

Paralyze: You cant move period.. you have a 25% recover rate after 2 turns.

Weaken: You're weaker for 4 turns

Clumsy: Your dexterity drops by half

Delay: Your agility drops by half

Feeble: Your Magic drops by half

Sharp: Your attack raises

Barrier: Your defense raises

Resist: Your magical defense raises

Blink: Your evasion raises

(Check your States tabs.. you can even make your own effects)

No, I said stats, not states. Like ATK, PDEF, and the like.

In the help file (just hit F1 in the editor) under "RPG Maker XP," look under "Battle Formulas". That explains all the calculations involving the different stats.

Also, for the weapon, I think you can just set its price to zero.

OR, in the heroes tab, click on the question mark in the top-right hand corner of the window, then click the stat.

Strength is your main attribute for attacking, dexterity and interlect both are involved in attacking/defending. Agility is how fast your character will attack when the battle is going on, attack is what your normal attack will be (strength also helps with physical skills) phy defence is your defence against physical attacks, and MDEF (magical defence) is your defence against elemental attacks.

At least I think so anyway...:P
