Whats cheaper.....

charms

there is some super gah equation but yea its cheaper.
and if you have to resort to pots, use apoth.

There are three kinds of "mana pots" in this game:

1) blue pots that drop from mobs. You can also buy them from Apothecary.
-Don't use these, they aren't worth it. Just NPC them for coins and buy Yuanxiao (see below)

2) crafted mp recovery potions (Jade Powder, Concentrate Orb, etc). These are fine but at higher levels you won't want your good pots on cooldown all the time (antistun, chi, invincibility, etc).

3) event pots, ie Sesame Yuanxiao and Herb Yuanxiao. These are the best value *by far*. You don't get wasted MP the way you do with a charm, you pay way less per mp than with any other item, they recharge your mp way faster than the other potions, they work while you have Dragon's Breath going, go buy a stack of them right now while they're still kinda-sorta cheap from event.



At 250k/gold, and generously assuming there's a charm pack sale, that's 1mil/charm. Right now they're cheaper than that, though, so let's say 750k/charm. That's 1.2 mana per coin. If you buy Sesame Yuanxiao at 1k each, that's 3 mana per coin. Herb Yuanxiao at 1.5k each is an even better deal. Stick with these, don't waste your time and money on an mp charm.

Buy from players. There should be tons of cat shops selling them.

Alternatively, buy Luck Tokens. 3 tokens gets you 50 Herb Yuanxiao, which is 250000 mana. Tokens might have gotten up to 20k/each on Heaven's Tear, that's still more than 4 mana per coin! Even at 50k/token you'd still be better off than if you bought charms.

Getting yuanxiao yourself during events is best, but just stock up when you can and you'll be fine.

exactly, i bought about 2 mil worth of the sesames during jolly jones event, have used like 1000 out of 5000+ that i bought. I cant tell you how good it feels to get out of an HH 2-3 using like 30 pots (30k worth now, but with price i bought them out, like 10k) and hearing a charm wearer use up 1/4 to half an mp charm. I never use pots on mobs, while their charm is ticking.. and i regen over 10k mp between each boss. On top of all that, when i watch them spark, often times the mp they'd regen from the spark is lost because their charm just ticked and they already have full mp. Another note is that when i wellspring, i just med to have it regen, while someone with a charm would get a tick. i usually see charmed wizards skipping wellspring, but they lose some of the regen from spark. Im pretty sure i stopped using mp charms when id go mat farming and have a tick just clearing a mob then having plenty of time to regen for the next one. PvP again helps to use pots. When u die, using a pot is much nicer than getting that 6k+ tick. So not only are pots WAY cheaper than charms mp/coin wise, u can choose when to use them to take advantage of all the regen that is free. The only reason to use a charm is for the convenience, but ur really paying alot for that.

Manufacturing MP powders are definitely better then the store bought ones. Takes anywhere from 4-6 of the store bought mp pots that are my level to refill my MP. Where as i can use one powder and be almost full. If i have trouble finding the herbs i need i ask around the faction. i haven't paid a single coin for my herbs. And while i grind if i see an herb i would need i grab it. usually when i'm done all i need to find is one more herb from a different level area and that takes me maybe 20 - 30 min.

Charms are for people that are lazy and have the money to get gold. Although the low HP charm lasts a good while for myself. i only recently used up my quest one from a while ago.

Well I am not wizard. But I find the hp, and mp charms cheaper. They last longer, and are dependable. And once they are equiped your good. And that saves you from buying, or forgetting to buy pots.

They also save you from forgetting to use the pots. Also charms heal instantly (which is good for hp but not mp) (>.<)
Lol ran a BH51 wyvern a couple of hours ago and about 5 minutes before I accidentally equipped the quest guardian charm you get at like level 15. b:shocked which I was frigging saving for a possible zhen session. b:infuriated darn phantom mouse drop or whatever it's called~
Lol strangely enough shortly after we go we accidentally aggro fushma. (>.<) the bear cub wasn't fast enough. xD And the next thing you know the 4 patrols reach us. Well since our tank was lagging a bit and busy with fushma I had a mob chasing me around for a full minute and the only thing that saved me was the guardian charm I equipped. xD
Then after fushma we reach wyvern and his aoe does 1.2k damage while I only have 1.3k life. b:shocked charm ticks saving me again. (^.^)
me only regret is that it lasted only one run. (T.T)'
10k heal doesn't get you very far. =(
