MP recovery
Lineage Playforum (http://community.playforum.net:8080/bbs/prog/column?action=read&iid=10051003&kid=1980) did an analysis on the effect of certain items on the MP regen rate of a WIS 18, level 45+ mage. They were looking for strange interactions, and didn't find any. The results are quite clean.

  1. Mana Cloak - +5 MP per tick
  2. Blue Potion - +8 MP per tick at WIS 18
  3. Crystal Staff of Mana - +10 MP per tick
  4. Kerenis Set - +12 MP per tick
  5. Ancient Robe - +12 MP per tick
  6. Lich's Robe - +15 MP per tick

The best combo was Lich's Robe, Crystal Staff of Mana, Mana Cloak and Blue Potion which increased regen to 41 MP per tick.

The other MP regen methods: Houses/Inns, Amulet of Wisdom and Meditation spell weren't counted here, but it should be said that at Meditation is +5 MP per tick and WIS amulet has varying effects based on your WIS and the use of Blue Potions.

hehe, and the average Mage has about 3 of the items listed, those being Mana Cloak, Crystal Staff Of Mana, and Potion Of Mana...Mana, mana, mana. It just occurred to me that for so many items with "mana" in the title, you never see people say, "I need more mana." It's always MP. I guess you must save about three hundredths of a second by typing out MP instead of "mana".

cuz they need more "magic points" or "mana points" as it is easier to refer to since most would understand

Is the the Ancient Robe refered to here the same one that drops on FI? Because mana regeneration is not listed on LC's item database? Just looking for clerification. ^^

the ancient robe from FI is the one they are referring 2. when unsealed it adds +12 to mp regen. its does make kerenis set seems less impressive.

Too bad about Lich's robe. I don't think DEP will ever have one.

A strong party of 4 went up to lich durring the "Drop Event" and got a bunch of shat.

Considering the boss costs at least 450k (for 6f scroll) and a good 100+ c-clears to get to, you'd think they would make it drop a bit better than say... pheonix. (not to mention, your risking several deaths.)

*sigh* Lich robe would be worth quite a pretty penny.

lungshou (#12), Elven Cloak doesn't help you gain MP, only HP for elves. I don't think it even adds how much you get per tick, i just think it cuts the tick time down by like 1/3.

I do hear though, that ALA makes you regen silly fast HP. And the AC isn't too bad.

elven cloak has an 1 HP regen rate of its own
no matter if u're overweight
it will still regen HP for u

yeah
1 HP regen isn't really much at all

but if builds up as u're hunting and assuming u're a dex elf (since u would kill mops from a distance)

I have another proposal for NC: The mageset should add also +10 to mana regen.

Cheers,

Cerenis set, impossible to get...
why? because its a set designed for MAGE
again,knights can have their items easily ( there are many dk sets running around) and mages gotta stay praying to GOD for our salvation
so sad T_T

If an 18 wis mage uses a blue and wis ammy (wis 19)and stands still (I did not test this fully while moving) There is a 1 MP point increase.

Note a blue must be active or there is no impact.

Rather small impact and not sure if the 100K I spent to test this was worth it just to test, but hey! gotta try it to know, right?

Oh and anyone ever try cancel after using a blue? I tried and could not cancel blue effects.

i asked a question from nc about where you only get a 1mp increase if u use blue and wis ammy. and the reply i got back from nc was no matter what the most mp regen you can get is 3mp without using any items. but if u use a blue you will get extra mp regen with wis ammy equipped, i am not sure if you actually put a point in wisdom when u get 51+ that with blue you will get additional regen.

#19 ya im sick of items that adds mp to regen rate... or items that +mp to your max like the lv 50 item for mage. Give us items that adds to magic bonus.. or sp or new spells... or something.... Right now i regen 45mp max and i don't need any more mp regenning enhancments.

Foo if we have more powerful spells you'll be complaining that they use too much mana and that we need more items. See Taera's story about the mouse...

Wow, congradulations NCSoft, after 6 years you finally gave Mages useful Mana Regeneration.

Of course you have to play for Months to have the millions of adena to buy all this stuff.

Too bad you nurfed everything else about Mages to render them otherwise unplayable.
