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.
