Max HP

General

HP is an acronym and is known to stand for Health Points or Hit Points. It is how much life points the character has and the amount of damage the character can sustain before dying. Max HP is mainly derived from the class of the character, VIT, and any equipment that may affect HP.

Max HP (also called MHP) affects HP Recovery, Increase HP Recovery, and Spiritual Cadence.

Calculation

Ragnarok Online does not calculate the base maximum HP of players in real time. Instead, this lookup table is used. The following is an algorithm how the values of the lookup tables are calculated:

var BASE_HP = 35;

BASE_HP += BASE_LEVEL * HP_JOB_B;

for (var i = 2; i <= BASE_LEVEL; i++) {
  BASE_HP += Math.round(HP_JOB_A * i);
}

var MAX_HP = BASE_HP;

MAX_HP = Math.floor( MAX_HP * (1 + VIT * 0.01) * TRANS_MOD );

MAX_HP += HP_MOD_A;

MAX_HP = Math.floor( MAX_HP * (1 + HP_MOD_B * 0.01) );

Where:

HP_JOB_A: See the job modifier table

HP_JOB_B: The number in parenthesis, if any. Otherwise 5.

HP_MOD_A: Sum of additive modifiers

HP_MOD_B: Sum of multiplicative modifiers

TRANS_MOD: 1.25 for transcendent classes, 1 otherwise

Notes:

Base HP is the same for all characters with the same job and same level.

Increase base HP by 1% per VIT. Then add additive modifiers. Finally add multiplicative modifiers.
