As per the title, I'd like to do a combination of HP Washing + Olafs, Spring of Youth and Reuell's, along with HP gear. With Shadower's natural HP being approximately 5403 at Lv.155, I set a goal of approximately 12,000 HP with everything combined. Firstly, I wanna know if 12,000 is a reasonable goal or if I should do more/less? I'm planning to do the resets at Lv. 135. I chose 12k, so that I could at least tank Shao if I forget to cast MesoGuard. I'm not sure about any other late game content. 1600 HP from Olaf, 500 from Spring of Youth and about 400 from Reuell's, with about 1515 HP from equps. Bringing me to about 9418 HP unwashed. To get to 12,000 I'd need to wash about 2582 HP. I'm curious as to how to accumulate INT throughout the levels. I used the calculator and if I do 50 base INT + 40 INT from equips, I should be able to achieve that HP with 165 APRs. [Idk if I did it right] My confusion is this: At lvl 10, I'd only have 30 INT + 25 DEX for job adv and based on the INT gear I have at level 10, I'd only get an additional 26. Bringing me to a total of 56 INT at level 10, instead of the 90 INT I put into the calculator. Obviously as I level and meet the requirements for equips like bathrobes, shoes, capes, etc. I'd reach the goal of 50 base INT and even more than 40 INT from equips. I'm wondering if missing out on that INT in the early levels would have an affect later on? I'd appreciate any feedback or tips based on this thread. Even if it means changing my approach or anything else, thanks!
12k isn't enough imo, technically you can do everything (probably gonna die if you sed in HT but im not sure). But I personally dont like being dependant on DP or forgetting meso guard. A better goal would be 17.5k You can have the 17.5k goal at a higher level and take your time questing there, its fine too. 400 from raul is a tiny amount, thats only ~12 quests. I dont think that 50 int + 40 equips would get you 165 washes (by what level?) but I didn't do the calculation, add the spreadsheet screenshot here if you got it. You kinda have to have the int as early as possible, otherwise you are loosing a lot of mp.
Hey, idk about shad washing, but depending on the speed of your progress (have 1/2/4/6 hrs a day? Matters a lot!) you can pretty much count a lot on the elixir of life hp quest of 120+. For example, if you gonna take about 2 months anyway from 120 to 135, you can just opt to do 1 hp quest every day (avg of 15-20 min/day with a shad) and count on an avg of 1050hp/month. Which then means 2k in 2 months and gives you a lot of breathing room. Also, if you suddenly decide to play some other chars for a bit and keep hp questing every day, it accumulates faster than you'd think. I have a 13k hp NL with no washing, some int gear but very minimal, spent some 50 aprs on him, level 148. Another thing you can do is go for the collector medal. Level 3 medal is 500 hp, 2att. Level 4 is hard to get but is 1k hp and 3att. Although this might not be BiS for a 3-stat class like a shad. In general, the elixir quest is very good for those of us who worry too much about not being able to fix our hp due to the lack of int early game. Realizing that a month or two of patiently hp questing can fix our hp at ANY point in time is Un-stressing. GL
