Hey guys,

I have one question for some of you to answer.
If i restate my Magic to 3 is my mana pool strong enough so I can still do zhen without a problem? I mean, I have read somewhere on the forums that a very low magic can make barrage of arrows (lev 1 of course) to break your SP charm after a few minutes and you have to start again. Is this true after all ? I mean is there a minimum number of magic points I need to have in order to start barrage of arrows and keep it going until charm is depleted ?

What is you opinion on this ? ( do you use apots or some other help if you feel the charm is breaking and so on.. )

Thanks !

    i have not tried this but from my observation, it will still be possible for you to keep barrage lvl 1 going without breaking.

    the reason for this is:
    my mag is on 5 (1617 mp atm) and when i put up barrage of arrow lvl1, my mp will only be down to about half during charm tick.

    archers gain 32 mp per mag, so you'll loose 64 mp after restat. this will only cause your mp to go a little bit lower before you charm tick again.

    this is only the theory though as i have not done this and don't know people that have done this

    I've zhened from 60 to 80 w/o doing any grinding/questing, just pure zhen. what you need to do is to get mp helm with some mp mods, or just socket it with +mp shards and you'll be fine.

    I remember @ lvl 60 i couldnt zhen cos my mana pool was too low and after geting an mp helm it was fine.

    Peace.

    From what I've heard, 1600 is the recommended minimum for level 1 Barrage.
    (you shouldnt be taking it past level 1 either)

    But yeah, 3 base magic shouldnt be a problem at all, hit up a MP helm and whatever else to break that 1600.

    Thank you all for each reply.
    So the general consensus is 1600 MP. This is what I was aiming to find out.

    i lvled my barrage to 3 for zhen but the mp drain was fine with charm...recently leveled it to 10 for rebirth and with 2.2k mp the mp drain is ok. but i am equipped with xbow, if i use the bow it mite drain the mp faster since the atk interval is faster. there were some instances where it randomly stops my barrage when i'm using a bow so...not sure.

    No it doesnt.

    Your mana pool even with 3 magic will always be enough to sustain ur current level of zhen. Only time u wont have enough mana is if u get lvl 11.
    Heaven lvl 11 only stays open for about 1-2 minutes before closing and hell lvl 11 stays open for about 10 seconds. When i use zhen in TW i usually mp pot so it stays open

    Level 1 barrage eats an gold MP charm in about 1h 58 mins.
