Cutsy's Journal: Journey to Hero

A total opposite to my hero,


:'((

 

First of all... Welcome to ML!
If you're interested in Questing ~ Levelling nicely I suggest :

I hope the Journal will go on nicely, plus another MAC user nice.

Tavern ftw

 

Generally Heroes are very HP Washing friendly.

If you want to do the bare minimum I would suggest :
Get 40~50 INT (base or gear) every time you LVL UP.
That will easily provide you with an HP Wash later on.
The main idea for a Hero is to both gain HP and MP (not in very absurd ways).

One wash is MP 4 and would mean you gain HP 52.
If, from LVL 40 you have the INT 40, you would be gaining an extra 52 per LVL.
So that would mean that, for the bare minimum of HT you'd be looking at

LVL 155

Clean HP 10.224 + Washed HP 52 * (155-40) = HP 16.204​

This would of course mean you will have to wash, every LVL UP from 40 to 155 once per LVL.

It's not so expensive in general and, from LVL 50 onwards you most likely will have a zhelm, which will help a good amount for both gaining MP/HP.
Dare I say, at higher LVLs you'll most likely want to have more MP for using skill on long term, HP will become mostly secondary after you reach over 18k HP (around LVL 165-170)

 

Spoiler: Example Stats

Just follow along with my stats, don't be a degen like I am <3 (Else your gameplay will really be tiring)

Given you're LVL 35 and have 5 base INT the main goal you can do is to get INT 40 by LVL 42 (Putting 5 APs per LVL into Base INT)

^ That is Base AP pumping, in general this method will lower your DMG / DPS but, as 40 INT it shouldn't be that devastating.
If you have some funds, you could probably grab some gear with INT, such as a glove, cape, overall, earrings, wand (lvl 8 equippable by all classes) or shield.

This is the mechanic we are interested in understanding : (MP Gains)

Every LVL UP a class gets (rounded down)

Base_MP + INT/10​

So for example, as a Thief I get :

Base_MP Thief = 15
INT/10 = 184/10 = 18 (rounded down)​

So I would be getting, at LVL UP

15 + 18 = 33 MP​

A second mechanic we are interested in calculating : (Washing potential)

At every LVL, each class has a particular Minimum MP

For example the Minimum MP Formula for a thief is

14 * LVL + 148​

So, in example above I have 2700 MP (base without gear)

14 * LVL + 148 = 1870​

The interesting part is now calculating how many washes you can do (thief requires 12mp per wash)

(2700 - 1870) / 12 = 69 washes​

A third mechanic we are interested in doing : (HP Washing)

After a LVL UP you gain 5 FRESH APs
The main idea of HP Washing is to grab a Fresh AP and putting it into HP, using an AP Reset to take from MP and putting into Stats.

So as an example, from MP to LUK.

Spoiler: Method

1.Put 1 Fresh AP into HP
2.
3.
4.

ELI5 : You stock on MP gained from higher Base+Gear INT from LVLs, continue playing normal and, after a certain point, calculate how many HP washes you can do and do the simple 4 step process for X amount of times needed.

HP Goes in (fresh AP)
MP Goes out into STAT (AP reset)

After the digression made for the guide, for your warrior.
Given you're LVL 35 with 5 INT you could be looking at getting 40 INT (gear or base) and generally saving up the MP you gain from LVL UPs.
After a certain point, like from LVL 50 and above, you can start doing the washing.

Here are the formulas that interest you, in every possible way :

Hero Information

BASE_MP Hero = 5
Minimum_MP Hero = 4 * LVL + 56
HP_Gain_LVLUP Hero = 66
HP_Gain_Wash Hero = 52
Washes_Potential Hero = ( MP(no gear) - Minimum_MP ) / 4​

So, for example, if at LVL 50 you have 500 MP you can calculate this :

( 500 - 4 * 50 + 56 ) / 4 =
( 500 - 256 ) / 4 =
244 / 4 ≈ 60 washes
​

Every wash is 52 HP so that means you can gain (by doing the washing method) a whooping 3,120 HP.

 

Generally for efficiency, u want to have INT as early as possible, adding your int while on maple island.
But do not worry, warriors are pretty easy to wash, thus you won't lose too much damage despite not washing super efficiently.

As Motto stated, 40 base int is not devastating. I would personally take it a notch higher and recommend you to have 50 int, by lvl 50.

So why 50 int?
The general guide to hit 18.6k HP at lvl 140 for warriors, is to get 40 int ASAP, and level up to 140. While leveling between 30-140, wash as much HP as you can, and you should have 18.6k HP at lvl 140.
Having 40 int will give you 4 extra MP per level, and having 50 int will give you 5 extra MP per level.
Due of lack of INT from lvl 1 to lvl 35+, this one extra MP per level can guarantee the 18.6k HP at lvl 140, and go even more, while not heavily punishing your damage. Any more than 50 base INT will very likely to feel noticeable damage decrease however.
