Hey guys, because I'm so used to playing post-bb MS I've never really thought about the HP part of NLs. I'm level 74 at the moment and only have about 2.6k HP, I haven't bought any INT equips and I was thinking is it too late to start using INT stuff to make up for the previous levels of no INT items? If not, about how much total INT should be optimal for washing? I was thinking about ~10k HP as my final goal late game. Thanks!
There are people whom I know never washed seriously, and are doing well in HTs (only need 7.6k by 155 without depending HB, or 5.6k depending on HB). So don't worry too much. Besides, those that are washing seriously are just preparing in the event Pink Bean gets released, which so far isn't a confirmed release yet. Besides that, taking into account that you would not want to restart your character, it's best you start washing from now onwards since you're 1 level away from being able to leech at WS. Invest in some decent INT equips if you did not add any AP into your base INT, you can sell them off later or even use it on your mage character if you intend to create 1 in the future. Also, you may want to calculate what's your MinMP so you can calculate how much HP you can wash, with each wash using AP giving you 20-24 HP. For NL, the MinMP is [(14 x Level) + 148]. It is highly recommended you use AP to wash your HP, instead of using AP Reset as it will only give you 16 - 20 HP. All these are not taking into consideration of the 1620 HP you yet to gain (155 (Pink Bean eligibility) - 74 (your level) * 20hp per level). All the best.
