Skill Meditate

General

Meditate greatly improves mana regeneration rates. Without it, you only gain 2 mana (per tick) when sitting.

  • For every 12 points your Meditate skill has, you will regenerate +1 mana (per tick) when sitting.
  • As long as you have trained 1 point into it, Meditate automatically happens when sitting.
  • Whether you have Meditate or not, you will only gain 1 mana (per tick) when standing.

A "tick" happens every 6 seconds (server side).

  • It does not matter whether you are sitting or standing between seconds 1 and 5, only the 6th second.

Meditate Button

Prior to late Hole Era users can find the Meditate button by opening their Spellbook, either by clicking the icon, typing /book # or using a shortcut Ctrl + b.

After Hole Era, there is no longer a need to open the book and press the Meditate button. As long as the Meditate skill is trained and the user is of appropriate level, sitting will accrue all the benefits.
