Meditation

The Meditation skill allows players to regenerate mana faster, both passively and by entering a state of meditation.

Mechanics

The baseline Mana Regeneration Rate is:

1 mana restored every 2 seconds (0.5 mana per second).

The maximum Mana Regeneration Rate is:

1 mana restored every 0.5 seconds (2 mana per second).

The minimum Mana Regeneration Rate is:

1 mana restored every 8 seconds (0.125 mana per second).

Meditation Bonuses

• Players who use the Meditation skill will always enter a Meditative State (regardless of skill level), which doubles their current Mana Regeneration Rate.
• The Mana Regeneration Rate is increased by:
  • (100% * (Meditation Skill / 100)).
  • An additional 100% increase if the player is actively meditating.

Armor Penalties

• The Mana Regeneration Rate is penalized by the player's armor.
• The penalty formula is:

 (2 * (Player's Total Armor Meditation Penalty)).

• The Total Armor Meditation Penalty is determined by:
  • The sum of the Meditation Penalties from all worn armor pieces.
  • Each armor piece has a Meditation Penalty calculated as: (Armor Location Penalty * Armor Material Penalty).

Armor Location Penalty

Shield	Chest	Legs	Arms	Helmet	Gloves	Gorget
35%	35%	22%	15%	14%	7%	7%

Armor Material Penalty

Image	Material	Penalty
	No Armor, Leather Armor, Buckler, or Wooden Shield	0%
	Studded Armor or Wooden Kite Shield	20%
	Bone Armor, Metal Shield or Bone Shield	40%
	Ringmail Armor or Bronze Shield	60%
	Chainmail Armor or Metal Kite Shield	80%
	Platemail Armor, Heater Shield, or Chaos/Order Shield	100%

Example

A player wearing a suit of all studded leather but with a platemail gorget would have:

(.35 * .20) + (.22 * .20) + (.15 * .20) + (.14 * .20) + (.07 * .20) + (.07 * 1.0)) = 25.6% Total Armor Meditation Penalty.

Which would result in a (2 * 25.6%) = -51.2% effect on their Mana Regen rate.

Mastery Chain Adjustments

• The Mana Regeneration Rate can be further adjusted using Mastery Chain links.
• Example: If a player has a Mana Regeneration Rate of 1 mana per second, having a 10% increase would boost it to 1 mana every 0.9 seconds.
