Title: Meditation
Post by: Enix on June 28, 2010, 09:54:11 AM
Just a question on this as I'm not sure its a bug, but I'm GM Meditation, working on some skill gains in spellweaving and as my macro I have "If Mana <=40, then Meditate, Wait until Mana >=70"...script works very well, except that every time, and I mean EVERY time I try to meditate, I fail.  I know I can meditate, as I've done it before, but I'm getting the "cannot focus your concentration"...I even put in a 5 sec delay BEFORE I meditate and still fail...Anyone have any insight?  :?

That's how it is on OSI as well for some reason.  Meditation seems to fail when you are really low on mana.  Example you have like 120 mana normally but you used it all to about say 4.  If you try to meditate at that moment the skill just fails however if you had 40 mana it would succeed.  Not sure the reasoning why its like that but its just how it is.

You might be on to something there. I didn't realize it was tied into your mana reserve like that, I changed it to "<70 meditate" and "wait until 100" and it's working now...hmm.

I know for a fact that it works based off your mana's percentage.

*How I think it works: 75/150 (mana/mana pool) = 50%
I think about 80 skill of med sets the standard of at 50%
Its safe to assume that every on here GM mediation within the first 5 skills, so you've got atleast 60% chance to meditate at the conditions previously listed. I think at 120 meditation you'd have 80% chance to meditate.
So with previous conditions:
75/150 and GM med = 60% or (Mana percentage * 120%)
75/150 and 105 med = 65% or (Mana percentage * 130%)
75/150 and 110 med = 70% or (Mana percentage * 140%)
75/150 and 115 med = 75% or (Mana percentage * 150%)
75/150 and 120 med = 80% or (Mana percentage * 160%)

*Please note that there is very limited documentation out there about this subject of chance to med, and this is what I've put together over the span of about 6 years (OSI and other RUNUO servers)
