Let’s learn now about Vitals. These are the ones you want to always keep a close eye on. These are:
– HP stands for Health Points.
This defines one’s overall health status. If a character’s HP goes down to 0, he or she will be knocked out and will have to respawn to his/her Save point, unless brought back by another player. HP slowly restores over time (and faster while sitting). STR is the stat the increases your Max HP. Each Class has a unique rate of growth on how much every 1 STR will increase your Max HP.
– MP stands for Mana Points or Energy.
This defines how much “energy” one has in order to use skills, items or other abilities that depend on it. MP slowly restores over time (and faster while sitting). Besides boosts from stats, the Max MP increases by 2 every time the player levels up.
INT is the stat the increases your Max MP.
– Inventory Capacity and Weight (WT)
