MapleStory Classic World HP and MP: what the client says

5 min read
Why do I run out of MP, and what fixes it?
iWhat HP and MP: what the client actually says is
The usual version of this guide is a table of HP gained per level, per class. That number is the server’s and it is in none of the twelve datasets this site reads, so it is not here. What is here is everything that is: the skills that raise the ceiling, the gear that adds to it, and the cost of every skill that spends from it - which is the half that decides whether you can keep casting.

The number this page does not have

How much HP a Warrior gains on a level-up is decided by the server. It is not a column in skills.json, it is not in the item rows, and it is not in the extractor’s read of the client either. Printing a table of it would mean copying somebody else’s recollection of a different build and presenting it as a reading, which is exactly the thing this section exists not to do. If a later sync carries it, this page grows the table.

A percentage on the ceiling is worth more the more of it you have, which is why these skills sit late in every build order on this site rather than early.

The last column is the one worth reading. Boosters and utility skills get cheaper as you rank them, which is why one point early and the rest late is the standing advice; attacks get costlier, which is what turns a comfortable rotation at rank 10 into one you cannot sustain at rank 30 without more MP than you had.
