Hi
I just started this game and am lvl 23 cleric.

Anyway at this point I have a few vit points, 6-7 magic and then 1 str every 2 lvls

The real issue is that I have huge mana problems and sitting to get it back seems like the biggest time waster in the world.

I started using pots which costs alot of money and I guess that works effectively to some degree.

I was just wondering if there was anything that I should be looking to do to help in my mana issues because it seems like this issue is not going away.

    For now you can only use MP post, or sit down. And yeah its not fun.
    But after lv30 you can make and use Jade powder, Focus powder.
    Jade gives you back 3000 MP over 30 sec.
    Focus gives you 50per sec MP regeneration.
    That will be your life/time saver.

    Until you can afford gold MP charm.

    Aye, rely on potions and powders until you can afford a charm. Clerics have terrible energy consumption per mob.

    Jade Powder is Level 1 Apothecary; Focus Powder is Level 2. At Level 4, you can make Concentrate Orbs, which give 100 mana regen.

    Generally they cost more than pots, but they are more efficient. If you use them to grind, you should be able to make up for the cost after a couple of drops.

    at level 60 the quest gear gives items that +REGEN which I took but gave up physical defence for now i am level 64 and I never use pots/charm mp or hp
    I have just enough MP to kill krixxix without pots or charms of any sort relax at higher levels your mana pool is huge - I regend about 55mp per second

    So it was worth it to give up the defense and take the mana regen?

    Making powders shouldnt cost you anything if you collect the herbs yourself. Start collection Crane herbs and Salvia Root now to make Focus powders. They will be your best friend. I have never bought herbs from anyone. I always have a good supply of them. I also have armor that give you MP regen. It definately helps. I would say it is worth the phy def loss unless you are doing pvp.

    Regen isn't worth it. It's nice to have, but it doesn't make a huge difference in the long run. If you're grinding, your charm or powder will be providing your energy management. In PvP, you die too quickly for regen to pay for itself.

    If you can get regen equipment, that's fine, but I wouldn't prioritise it over other mods, such as +pdef or +HP. Your base magic regeneration should already be ridiculously high.

    This is to grind of course

    Not pvp...would never pvp at 30-80 from what I can tell.

    Yep PVE regen over defence beacause at leavel 60 a HUGE majority of monsters use "magic" damage (physical when close) so really all you need is magical defence which is sorta natural to robes and physical not really important in PVE because ironheart makes damage dissapear lol

    so yeah
