Max HP

General

HP is an acronym and is known to stand for Health Points or Hit Points. It is how much life points the character has and the amount of damage the character can sustain before dying. Max HP is mainly derived from the class of the character, VIT, and any equipment that may affect HP.

"HP" is sometimes also referring to the abbreviation of "High Priest". For information on the class, see High Priest.

Max HP (also called MHP) affects HP Recovery, Increase HP Recovery, and Spiritual Cadence.

3rd class trans HP table

Current HP values (post-balance patch) assuming level 150 with 0 VIT, no equipment on, and no skill modifiers (Faith, Rising Dragon, etc.):

Class	Base HP	Base HP With Trans Modifier (x1.25)
Rune Knight	14883	18603
Royal Guard, Guillotine Cross, Shadow Chaser	13188	16485
Mechanic	12531	15663
Sura	10897	13621
Ranger, Maestro, Wanderer	10451	13063
Geneticist	9111	11388
Sorcerer	8883	11103
Arch Bishop	8283	10353
Warlock	7669	9586

The following table is outdated and are the HP values before the balance patch:

Calculation

Ragnarok Online does not calculate the base maximum HP of players in real time. Instead, this lookup table is used. The following is an algorithm how the values of the lookup tables are calculated:

var BASE_HP = 35;

BASE_HP += BASE_LEVEL * HP_JOB_B;

for (var i = 2; i <= BASE_LEVEL; i++) {
  BASE_HP += Math.round(HP_JOB_A * i);
}

var MAX_HP = BASE_HP;

MAX_HP = Math.floor( MAX_HP * (1 + VIT * 0.01) * TRANS_MOD );

MAX_HP += HP_MOD_A;

MAX_HP = Math.floor( MAX_HP * (1 + HP_MOD_B * 0.01) );

Where:

HP_JOB_A: See the job modifier table

HP_JOB_B: The number in parenthesis, if any. Otherwise 5.

HP_MOD_A: Sum of additive modifiers

HP_MOD_B: Sum of multiplicative modifiers

TRANS_MOD: 1.25 for transcendent classes, 1 otherwise

Notes:

Base HP is the same for all characters with the same job and same level.

Increase base HP by 1% per VIT. Then add additive modifiers. Finally add multiplicative modifiers.
