Stamina &Hp

[Reynault]

I was wondering if anyone knows if stamina affects how much hp you gain when you level up? Kind of like how you regenerate more mp when you have more wis, is it the same way for stamina? I know ppl are telling me to just spam pots, but at lower levels, its a bit hard to find that kind of money. Also, if stamina does affect how much hp you gain per lvl, would it be a good idea to start working on it early on?

Yes, increasing Sta gives more max hp as well as increasing the regeneration rate to where you don't have to rest any longer than your older, lower max hp to reach your new max hp. However, Sta only gives a fixed amount of hp per point; in other words, it does not change the fact that your base hp increase every level up is +3 hp. You receive a one-time permanent bonus to your hp from increasing Sta.

Also, when people say to spam pots, I hope that they mean mp pots so that you could spam Slash all the time; you would have to drink a lot of hp pots for them to make much of a difference o.O

It is far for more efficient for an aco to spam mp pots to heal you than it is for you to rely on hp pots to get healed.

And to add to the above, it's not hard to solo on lower lvl mobs on the lower lvls (till 30) without even spamming pots, just carry some for an emergency if you get mobed and sit to rest when needed. As you realize your income is getting bigger, then go ahead and start spending more on pots and using them more frequently.

Ok, thanks everyone for the help. :)

personally, I only added 1 to stamina since I started my squire, and I'm level 42 now. The thing is, every once in awhile I'll party with an aco and get a lot of drops, which I keep and sell later on for when I'm soloing. I've found that it's a lot harder to solo and save money (I usually use 100hp and 100mp per repot.)
than it is to party with 1 aco and level. Leveling is faster solo (for me) and slower with an aco, so I basically party with acos when I need kron. heh.
I spam a lot of hp pots and mp pots, but if you fight lower level monsters (light blue for the name color) you'll use less hp pots but more mp (plus you have to chase the buggers around..)
at any rate, I guess it depends on if you want to get money or level up. (from my perspective)

I find the best strategy is fight until HP drops to about 1/4, I 'll burn mana pots until then. Equip a Sheep helmet and rest. Stick to white mobs and you will level fast enough. Usually a map or two before you see any red tinted mobs is a good spot.
