Guide to Vitality

General Discussion Started Last reply 20 posts
Your vitality bar is always depleted? Leveling without it seems impossible and very painful? Events do not provide enough vitality potions?

Well don't be sad! There's few easy to use solutions how to get your vitality back within 30 min! SAY NO TO 0 VIT!

#Trick 1

For that you need any items that on use regenerates vitality. We get some during events, like agathions, vitality regen potions etc. If you have any of such items go to Giant Cave lower/upper level and find a party which kills mobs the fastest.

The point of this trick is to hit the mob that party is killing and do at least 1 dmg. Once the mob dies it regenerates full vitality bonus it has! Which is quite a lot!

#Trick 2

For this you need vitality herb droop! As soon as you pick up herb stop hitting mobs SOE and run to giant cave upper/lower level to do the same. Do at least 1 dmg to the mob and wait for party to kill it. It will regenerate A LOT OF VITALITY!

#Trick 3

For this you need cardinal! This one is by far most difficult yet fastest to achieve level 4 vitality with.

Every time you level up, you get 27% of hunting bonus increase. When hunting bonus reaches 100% you get vitality regenerating bonus! and do as stated above, just hit the mob and wait for party to kill it.

This trick is best done on sub with a help of friendly cardlinal/ee. You level ~2-3% above the level. You die > loose level > get rezzed by cardi > You gain level It's easiest to achieve on <70 sub class, because sometimes you need to go back to hunting fields so you could level up when rezzed by cardi. (Die/ress thing should be done in GC!)

I bolded parts for a reason!

Enjoy!

P.S. REMEMBER! DO NOT USED HIGH DMG SKILLS, DO NOT USE SOUL/SPIRIT SHOTS! ALL YOU NEED IS TO DO 1 DMG AND YOU ARE OK! Don't steel exp from party that is helping you to gain vitality.
Nice, these are some good ideas im gonna try XD how far into vit can u get with a 5 minute potion using the GC method? I know depends on the partys kill speed but i can get a few points into vit 1 doing it solo,

are we talking almost into vit 2 here? or what?
Pretty nice, BUT

if u also consider the time loss u have while port from xp spot to GC + porting back to the xp spot i am pretty sure it would end the same if u just go on and kill a few mobs without vit.

If you find a party that kills mobs extremely fast within 5 minutes you can prolly get full level 4 vit or level 3 at least.

To get from 0 > level 4 and full you need ~4-5 Hunting bonuses. If you have a friendly cardinal it is really easy to achieve that on sub that just leveled.

With hunting bonus yes, it's hard. With vit herb no it's not! By the time you will be in GC you'll have like 3 min left. And with that 3 minutes you can get 0 > almost level 3
Hmm, defo worth to test it once.
Certain mobs drop vitality herbs at a significantly increased rate compared to other mobs.
Trick #1: focus on hunting these mobs until you get the herb (avoiding any other mobs); with some luck involved, you won't lose too much from your current vitality level before getting the herb.
Trick #2: once you have the herb on, go on the killing spree, AoE all you want to accumulate as many vit points as possible.
Using this tactics, you can play with max vitality for hours!
take a nuker 82+ -> go dv south to leeches group -> make each 30 minutes a bubble while advent blessing, log out -> repeat some times and your vita will be full ;-)

Doing this since h5 start ;) being a nuker every 30 mins i get free vita 3 soloing a bubble :D
are there specific mobs that drop it far more than others even in the same hunting grounds?

eg. i've found pavel ruins and SoS mobs seem to drop it the most, but can i further narrow it down to specific mobs, or is it just the hunting ground as a whole?

Pavel ruins/bee hive/sos droops herb quite often. Doing this in bee hive with boxed low level mage. Usually in 20 min I get 2 to 3 vit herbs which are enough to fill your vit from 0 > 4 in GC.

Yes, some types of mobs drop vit herbs far more than others, but only in 1 location that I know of.

Generally, getting 1 vit herb every 10 minutes is enough to keep your vitality bar full.

This is what i mean...saying "yes some mobs drop them more than others" is completely useless...what ARE these mobs?

If you ever xped at Dino island you probably paid attention to the fact that at any given moment at least a half of mystics crowding that place 24/7 were steaming red due to Vitality activation, be it either Nevit's hunting blessing or vit herbs.

I'm pretty sure some of those mages have figured it out already on their own; and if you are not a mystic then indeed this info is completely useless to you.

Anyway, the key term is: low hp group mobs.

i'm not a mage, otherwise i'd be vit 4 constantly by just logging in and out and doing bubbles in dragon valley every 30 minutes XD,

the way i pump my vit is using the GC method, but i get half way into vit 2, and then never see another herb, so i usually hover at vit 0/occasional vit1, which isn't really great considering if i hunted the right mobs i could keep 3/4 constantly

That is correct. It is really true in all areas really if you pay attention.

The problem with Dino is that you do not get enough herbs to keep from losing your vitality, if you are a half way decent nuker you burn through vit very fast.

There is another trick, and it is more vitality management. If you are a nuker in a party with your buffer, se or ee and you get a herb...you drop the party and take full advantage of the herb. Get back in the party and let the leach again till then next herb comes. I did some rough math on this method, compared to just burning through your vit and then leveling at zero, you need to run for about three hours before you start seeing a benefit. After that it depends on how lucky you are with the vit drops, since every time you get one you are getting full experience without your leeches. The side benifit to this is your se, ee or buffer get leveled as well.
So, except these, isn't there any other method of gaining Vitality ?
This is gonna be useless on december 1st anyways, but thanks.

Also, I am finding very hard to properly make use of most quests with high vitality; and it's hard to come up with the cash to buy stuff outside of soulshots.
