Maple Story Skills - Improving MP Recovery

Improving MP Recovery is a passive skill in Maple Story, meaning you do not have to turn it on. This skill works by itself constantly.

In Maple Story you recover MP every ten seconds, and Improving MP Recovery lets you recover more MP than usual. In other words, the more points you have in this skill the faster your MP will be recovered. Needless to say this skill should be maxed since it gives you free MP.

There is no chart that tells you exactly how much more MP you will get with every point in MP Recovery. The amount of MP you get depends on your character level, so when you are level 100 you will receive twice as much as when you are level 50.

There are only 16 points that can be put into this skill, and you should really max it. It's not an absolute necessity such as Magic Guard, but getting free MP is good as you save very much money.

There is a formula which can give you an estimate on how much MP you will receive every ten seconds. Divide your skill level with ten, multiply by your character level and add three to the total.

I will make an example to show how it works:

My character is level 50 and I have only one point in MP recovery. This means that every ten seconds I recover 5.5 MP. This is very little MP and is pretty worthless.

If I have 16 points in MP recovery however, I will recover approximately 83 MP every ten seconds. In one minute this adds up to almost 500 MP, and in an hour I will have recovered 30 thousand MP. Not so worthless anymore huh?

As you level the amount of MP you get every ten seconds increase, so this skill will give you MP proportionate to your level. This is what makes this skill so awesome, and if I were to calculate the amount of Mesos saved by MP Recovery it would add up to several millions.

MP is expensive, and I hate having to spend unnecessary Mesos on it. That's why I love this passive skill, all you have to do is to put 16 points in it at the beginning of the game and you get paid for the rest of your characters life.

Usually you should max this skill after you max Improving Max MP, so you get the most back from it. If you like the idea of getting free MP then this skill is a must-have.
